Price wise yes i would be as well if it comes in at that amount.
The $499 price makes sense now especially if it's between 2070 & 2080 performance. Not that that's a good price just that Nvidia's prices are stratospheric

I can’t understand why AMD are doing so well lately, but they still have not produced anything that really rivals the 2080Ti

Do they need to?
I have never understood why AMD needs to put out a card to beat Nvidias hideously overpriced nonsense when the vast majority of folk buy much cheaper cards.
Of course there is always the halo or percieved brilliance of nvidias lower down stuff that aint really true just because of the 2080ti but well what can you do ....

New products take years to design, tape out, test and get out onto the market. It's not something that can be reacted to quickly and it's the same issue Intel are having vs Ryzen.
Soldato
Why bother? Why bother investing R&D money you don't have into trying to beat a halo product and sell 5 of them when you could just target the upper mid range and sell a boat load? AMD do not have the time, money or mind share right now to be comparing e-peens.
The concept of competing at the high end, and the image it portrays of AMD when they do or don't, is a conversation for next year when their "next gen" gets closer.

I always thought it was a race to the top with these guys.
Exactly, Nvidia has the high end on lock down. AMD's last attempt, the Radeon 7 has been selling like it already has one foot in the grave, pathetic.
9.75tflop + 25% IPC = 12tflop = it's pretty much a Vega 64
If they have a few higher SKUs to come it's not looking too bad. Forget the 2080 Ti and just compete everywhere else seems a decent strategy to me.

New Xbox ZEN2 + Navi saying 120fps LOL
What’s the lol about?
You never mentioned resolution
1080p 120fps should be possible for next gen consoles playing games with current gen graphics. Even 1440p 120hz May work in some instances

Scarlett at a glance: - 120fps - 8k capability - 4x more powerful than the Xbox One X - 40x performance increase over current generation consoles
Those numbers are wonky and I bet they won’t disclose how they came up with those gems.
40 times over current gen? So the Xbox 2 is a 50tflop gpu? Yeah nope they obviously mean CPU - but how did they measure Jaguar vs Zen2. Same goes for 4 times Xbox one x - Navi isn’t 18 tflop, they must be talking about the CPU or a combination of CPU plus GPU. The Navi 5700xt desktop is only 9 tflop.
8k: same as the ps5, it’s for movies, youtube, Netflix etc. obviously games won’t output at 8k
But nevertheless my 4K 120hz tv looking mighty fine with all the next gen features were getting

MS spilled the beans tonight of the NAVI capabilities, 1 day before AMD does so.
The new Xbox is 4 times more powerful than the Xbox One X.
up to 120fps, and up to 8K visuals. Also the console will support next-gen Ray Tracing.
120fps 4K probably (4x more powerful than the Xbox OneX)
And thats a console!!! More powerful than the significant majority of the PCs people have in this forum.

No way I believe 4K 120FPS.
We're lucky to get 4K 60 with a 2080Ti consistently........

AMD says the GPU is RDNA based:

Both the PS5 and next XBox reveals,have mentioned raytracing support,so does that mean Navi supports raytracing at the hardware level like Turing,or the consoles using separate chips for it??

According to Microsoft video for Project Scarlet, there is hardware level ray tracing.
