5700xt vs 2080 super

This surprised me

Yup, makes you think long and hard if you want to pay more for a gpu.

There is a common misconception that higher/highest frame rates means better game play when it's not true.
What is true that once you reach a certain threshold in frame rate, for that resolution, gameplay doesn't change.

The general rule is that once most games achieve 50+ minimal frame rate no matter how much higher you go from there gameplay and immersion doesn't change.
Average frame rates, now a days, mean absolutely nothing in this regard.

However, average frame rates did mean something back in the day when hardware was still catching up to what a developer intended game play to be.

The 2080 super is better but price/ performance then there are questions to be answered. I was going to get a 2080s but at 660 vs 500 for 2070s for less than 10fps it's not worth it. The amount over 5700xt however considering RTX seems worth it.

2070S overclocked looks like it's surpassing the 2080.

It does, but depends on if you get a good clocker

It's odd like, 2560 shaders vs 3400+ and the card with 2560 can win when compared to Pascal.

The only new cards which make sense right now are the 2070s and 5700 XT. Just pick either depending on whether you want team green or team red, whether ray tracing is valuable to you right now or whether you want AMD's RIS and a slight saving.

The 2080s just isn't worth the extra money.

Even when gaming at 4K?

It makes a bit more sense there. But the raytracing on the 2080s will be useless at 4K so someone at 4K wouldn't be considerig it for that. So I'd still be looking at a used 1080ti instead, or using AMD's RIS and upscaling on the 5700 XT on 4K. Apparently it has a negligible performance hit and looks fairly decent even if not in native res.

Or I'd be waiting for big Navi.

Well considering the AIB 2070S's are overclocking further than the FE supers that were reviewed I don't think there's much worry about not getting a good clocker.

There is also 3200x1800 + RIS option for the 5700XT

I agree, the 2080 (S) is a smidge faster than the 2070S for quite a bit more outlay and the 2080 Ti is very expensive (worth it for some where money isn't an issue and want the highest FPS possible at 1440p/4K).

Well I don't think the way tracing will be useless at 4k just some settings need to be tuned down.
