As in the title, would you buy a big Navi card with 2080 Ti performance for £750.

Perhaps a Don could add a poll for the above question please.

The reason for this thread is I am curious as to whether people would pay £750 for a card that can not use Ray Tracing or would they pay £1000+ for a Turing card that can.

Is Ray Tracing worth paying several hundred pound extra for?
 
No I wouldn't. But that's because I won't pay that price for ANY card.

Anyway, ray tracing is irrelevant to me at this point. NVidias RT will be obsolete when AMD release their version on consoles. At that point all the big titles copied from console to PC will start to get AMD RT rather than NV's. Even if that doesn't turn out to be the case then the performance won't be there for years.

If those were the two options i were faced with. I'd buy the £750 especially if it's an AMD.

Nope. Irrespective of which brand offered it at this time. It would need to see vast improvements and widespread adoption before I consider it.
 
Ideally, I would want a high GPU with similar price / performance to the rx 570 8gb (pretty similar to my R9 390 in performance), which is around £130. At present, they are struggling to make GPUs with double / tripple the performance of this card for a price that reflects the performance improvement.

The RX 5700 XT isn't bad from a price performance point of view for about £370, it's around 2x the performance of a RX 570. But, still about £100 more than buying two RX 570s.

Depends on VRAM (and HDMI 2.1). For me GPU upgrades are always for visual fidelity (once you have minimum framerate target achieved, which varies depending on the game). So that now means either upgrading for >4K or RT (and ideally both). 2080 ti can't quite muster >4K super well by itself, but if thinking of adding a 2nd one then it will come down to vram.

So £750 2080ti would be tempting, but not as much if it can't RT, doesn't have HDMI 2.1 and has only 11gb vram. That's my thinking on it anyway.

Without ray tracing ... No. 12 months ago then for sure however by the time big Navi comes out 7nm NV cards should be a thing or at least close enough to be a contender.
That said I thought big Navi was gonna do Ray tracing

Every one slams NV for ripping us off and most champion AMD as some form of Savior. A 750 quid 2080ti rival but without raytracing would be just as bad value as Nvidia offers but over 12 months later (there have been 2080ti for just over £900)

I have similar thoughts.

If the question were along the lines of, "Would you buy an AMD card over Nvidia" the answer would be yes, I've no real brand bias and will opt for whatever suits my needs. Although if it's between the two and there isn't any specific standout reason to get one or the other I'll generally lean toward AMD and supporting the underdog.
 
Everything else being equal I also would choose AMD over NV.... But I only upgrade when I can get close to 100% improvement (or some amazing new feature) and timing has meant that AMD have not been a contender when I was ready to upgrade either due to pure speed, physx -when it mattered- or superior VR support.
Next upgrade I will likely break my 100% rule . Next card to give me proper UHD60 full detail with raytracing under £1k I will bite. I would love that to be AMD.
