If it was around £700 I would have bought one immediately.
The way things are going it'll be a few generations before we see anything as powerful in that price range.

This friday 21st I think edit-> maybe a paper launch7th of July wasn't it? Same day as the Navi launch, just to **** in AMD's cornflakes...

Which won't matter, if Nvidia haven't cut back the insane pricing.
Whats wrong with your arms?That all depends on whether AMD have come up with the goods performance-wise and cheaper. I'm seeing people here already calling Navi's launch a flop! And they're still 3 weeks away!
Exciting times as ever...
Tempted. Either a 2080 super or if the 2080ti comes down in price.
The issue is once you start buying at a certain price point you set the bar higher and higher.
£450 for the 1080 was high enough.
Whats wrong with your arms?
In fairness, that's hardly their fault. The last time AMD arrived first to the party with cards that trounced Nvidia's current lineup at every price point and then went on to beat Nvidia's next lineup too the masses still blindly bought Nvidia. If the consumer is going to intentionally shaft themselves through their own ignorance then there's only so much companies can do to help them, this has always been the ace up the sleeve of Nvidia and Intel, when when they're second best for the money they're still first buy for 99% of people.As much as we all hate on Nvidia for price gouging, AMD are just consistently arriving too late to the party with cards which aren't pushing Nvidia to drop prices at all.

Not everyone
I loved my AMD Radeon HD5870 and it beat the pants off anything Nvidia had apart from the overpriced 300w, egg frying space heating GTX480 - don’t know why people bought the 480
The issue you are trying to get to is perception. AMD beating Nvidia for one generation or half a generation even, is not enough to secure the hearts and minds. Look how long it’s taken for Ryzen to make in roads in perception. It takes years of consistently beating your opponent at the high end to get the masses to fully embrace your product stack
I've got a 2080. No interest in ray tracing at all xD. Was better priced than 1080 Ti when I bought mine. So went for the newer card.
In a couple of gens time maybe the 4080 Ti etc, if we can turn ray tracing on without it crippling FPS I might try it. If there was any loss in fps or having to downgrade resolution to turn it on I would just never use it.
If AMD launch a faster GPU without ray tracing I would take that.
If Nvidia made a faster GPU without ray tracing I would take that too xD
Does anyone care about this current implementation of ray tracing? I really doubt it. It's just not ready yet.
I think that if it happens today, the outcome will be quite a bit different because the criticism onto nvidia's heads will be much, much stronger.
