Since HardOCP refused to sign Nvidia's 5 Year blanket Non Disclosure Agreement their review is out 2 days early. They managed to source a retail sample overseas.

Looks like the 2070 is about 15% faster then a 1080. The MSI RTX 2070 Gaming Z and the MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X, both had an average GPU frequency around 1920. It was a nice coincidence that the default frequencies matched, so they could compare clock-for-clock performance.

The MSI RTX 2070 Gaming Z retails for $599 and the MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X retails for $509.
The MSRP on the GTX 1070 was $379 so it's a huge price increase for the RTX 2070.
I guess that's what happens when you have no competition.

Yeah really with AMD got their shit together again. They have done great with the Ryzen stuff, now lets see some gfx cards worth a shit.

Intel is rumored to be working on a card too. I'm not getting my hopes up for it being a gaming card though.

$600 for a mid-range card is ridiculous.

the reviews I haVE seen have been underwhelming. 1080 TI is about the same, except for raytracing, which may or may not ever be a thing. How many people are actually playing at 4K? My 1080 does fine at 1440.

I did see today a review for a EVGA 2070 card with no OC BS on it for the 499 price point, and they seemed pretty happy with it. While it's a little more than I would want to pay for a reference 2070, at least they are offering the choice and so you can beat 1080 performance for a reasonable price.
