I think Nvidia just reinforced my belief in 'never buy 1st gen products'. RTX clearly was an experiment on Nvidia's part because a lack of competition can make you carefree like that.
Personally, while I don't necessarily like the "Super" moniker, I do appreciate that nVidia is at least keeping the RTX 2XXX name. They could have called it a RTX 3XXX instead, in which case, it would be somewhat misleading since the underpinning technology and even the GPU die is from the 2XXX series.
Truthfully, it's what I had on hand. I was preparing for the RX 5700 review when NV interjected with the RTX 20 series Super launch. Plus the Radeon VII is a $699 video card, so it's not really a competitor to the $399/$499 Super cards.

The word "Super" reminds me of Edward Teller.29a - Tuesday, July 2, 2019 - link

You got rear-ended by Nvidia. Didn't see that coming after the last couple of Titan- Ti debacles? Forest for the trees my friend.tamalero - Wednesday, July 3, 2019 - link
Its not like they have much choice. The AIBS are already using most of the "cool" sounding names to name their card families.PlasticMouse - Wednesday, July 3, 2019 - link

They could have called them RTX 21X0 instead of RTX 20X0 Super, but then again, that might undermine their existing offerings (2060 and 2080ti).phoenix_rizzen - Friday, July 5, 2019 - link
Straight numbers would have been simpler, although the Ti variant adds some confusion.2060 --> 2065
2070 --> 2075 --> 2070 Ti
2080 --> 2085 --> 2080 Ti

Why did you test your Nvidia cards against a two year old Vega 64 instead of the new Radeon VII?Ryan Smith - Tuesday, July 2, 2019 - link
