Any clue on how this thing will compare to a 1080 TI?

In terms of real time raytracing the RTX will blow the GTXs out of the water...

For anything else? Remains to be seen.

The prices are obscene. The '70 tier has usually been my tier of choice, but they're sliding that up from the $400 range to the $600 range.

I actually just scored a 1080 in the realm of $400, presumably because crypto demand dived, and they had a lot of stock coming into the new generation announcement. I'm glad I got it, because it's going to be a while before I touch cards at these price points. Presumably when they filter down to a 2060 or something it'll be affordable?

Using DNN for generating higher resolution images[1] in realtime at fraction of the performance cost is quite brilliant. Is there any info it if this is nvidia proprietary technology or general feature of DirectX Raytracing that will eventually be available also from AMD and Intel?

[1] Though showing CT/medical imaging as one of it's applications is a big no-no

Can someone point me towards the deep learning tech they reference for improving ray tracing performance?

They're using deep learning as fancy Anti-Aliasing mechanism, to fill gaps which GPU didn't have time to properly raytrace or to upscale parts of images. As I understood from what I seen ML there mostly for AA.
