2080S has already $700 listing on NV shop. Don't expect it anywhere near lower than £700 in UK,
I'm wondering whether they could just update afterburner to enable higher frequency overclocks, or if a driver update will enable higher freqs in the next few weeks or so. With Fiji and Vega, some cards couldn't OC much until driver and overclocking software updates were made. Technically if it was completely locked in the bios, it shouldn't be able to go over that frequency no matter what you change in the OS.
I don't believe AMD would have much of a reason to just hold back the clocks. They didn't do so in the past when the lower SKUs were able to OC to the perf level of the higher SKUs. 290/390 was able to OC to 290X/390X perf levels, Fury was able to OC to Fury X perf levels and Vega 56 was able to get to Vega 64 levels with an OC, even with a locked BIOS. Holding back the clocks wouldn't make much sense since they would want to sell as many of these as possible to take away marketshare from Nvidia. Their Navi strategy is similar to their Ryzen strategy which included selling all CPUs unlocked.
And do not speculate about 2080S performance. The gap between 2080 and 2080Ti is vast. A 10% increase doesn't get it nowhere near 2080Ti.
2080S has already $700 listing on NV shop. Don't expect it anywhere near lower than £700 in UK, and 2080 is EOL.

Yup, definitely not available for anywhere under £700 in the UK

And OC are never the cheapest, so £650 seems accurate.
** No competitors **
I know not everyone could get that discounted price, but still it goes to show how cheap a 2080 can be had for, and that's before the 2080S has dropped.
Also, not sure where you pulled 10% from. Leaks, which have turned out to be accurate for the other 'Super' variants, indicate performance is pretty much on par with the 2080Ti
As for the 'do not speculate'.....there sure are a lot of rude people on here. Normally have tens of thousands of posts, long-time forum members with an elitist attitude.
