They are competitive in nearly all segments, in fact they have the better offerings in most.

Yup. All hush-hush right now but the Radeon VII in particular I expect to see mostly out of stock as everyone from miners to content creators to scientists buy them all up. It might not be much better than a 2080 for gaming, but it's damn near unbeatable in many other scenarios, couple that with limited numbers of the cards...
I would've loved to do a Radeon VII crossfire & watercooled, the 16gb of vram is sorely underestimated, but alas, no HDMI 2.1 means it's all a bit wasted for me.

It was an either/or.
Some are fine, most are fine with a tweak.
Let's ignore the main part of the point though? Said as a 2080ti owner so... it's not from a position of wishing my card was faster. It's objective.
They're as good as a 2080.
If we're going with if's there's all the 20xx series with memory issues... No need to be obtuse.

I’d argue an awful lot more have thought **** that to GPU prices and walked away from PC gaming - I can think of a few in my own circle of friends - frankly, I don’t blame them.

Ray tracing and DLSS is a bust (well at the moment it is anyway).
So why anyone would want to drop £1k+ to upgrade to a 2080ti is beyond me unless they need higher 4k FPS performance right now.
Personally I will wait for the 2080ti to drop to around the £600 mark, and if it never does then I guess I will not be owning one.
The time 4k 144hz gaming goes mainstream we will be looking at a new generation of graphics cards to drive those panels consistently above 100fps anyway.
E.G the smart move is to give this first generation of RTX a miss imho.

Ray tracing seems to me a way of resetting gpu's and forcing us to wait and pay to get a graphics card capable of not being crippled by the RTX technology.
If RTX cores actually boosted framerates with Ray tracing enabled I could potentially see the cost bump.
Be years before Ray tracing is the norm and when it is, something else will cripple the framerates and the circle continues.. Price you pay for technological improvements.

it depends is you want 60hz or 144hz. I Vega 64 is probably best bang for buck if you want 144hz
a 1070 was ment to be an entry 4k card when it came out I dont get how things change so much.
Along with GPU manufacturers asking prices.

On a serious note prices are insane Atm and hoping Navi will be good but its never going to be as you say

Don't quote me, this is what I read on these very forum pages.
