They 3070ti absolute has to be launched on 29th October as people only have until 31st October to claim their watchdogs codes

AMD have said several times they are gunning for the high end so if they don't announce a big part it would already be a disaster. Your arguments suggest that you haven't been reading what AMD themselves have actually stated.
Yes it is all based on estimates but we know higher clocks are possible, we know RT is coming and we know there are more CUs than the 5700XT had already. With 50% perf/watt then performance will absolutely go up and this is only the stuff we know already.
I am not saying I expect it to beat the 3080 or 3090 because honestly I don't know but I would love to see it competing at that level.
Um...XSX demos, PS5 demos and specifically the XSX Gears 5 demo showing it outperform the PC version with identical settings and the new RDNA 2 features. Plus AMD's claims of +50% performance per watt over RDNA 1 and we already know what RDNA 1 can do because of the 5700XT. Don't forget Nvidia's surprising (but still pure marketing) slash of MSRP for Ampere.
So yeah, that's quite a few "real hints" of Big Navi's performance.

Would be too funny if AMD come out with something matching or slightly beating Nvidia but want more moneyDon't jinx it

i tend to try and take performance claims with a grain of salt, especially when they are being made about high end gpu's amd did this before with the polaris launch remember.
and we all would like amd to be competing at the high level as hopefully it would sort out the silliness that is "exchange rate fluctuations".

A 56CU 5700XT at 2.2Ghz with 50% better perf/w with NO OTHER CHANGES I would expect to be close to a 2080Ti. I fail to see why that would be where the limit would be and why there would be no other improvements either.
Remember guys, AMD are not a charity, they are a premium brand now!![]()
It would be better than a 2080Ti and more efficient.
