I agree on them two points. 1) The Supers were released as the AMD cards were too much of a threat where people can easily distinguish how close they were yet AMD were slightly cheaper. 2) We dont want AMD to charge the same as nvidia.

Where #2 is not in anyones hands and could be hard cheese for us consumers, is AMD know nvidia cannot deliver enough stock, and if interest picks up (People see AMD have an equal product in performance) the herd just moves on and they sell fast even at nvidia prices. I think we are all hoping for the historically normal case that AMD would sit between £50-100 cheaper for their units answer to the nvidia one.

Indeed. I am in for the first time in a while and will try to get a 6900XT at release simply because AMD look competitive at my price point and Nvidia cannot supply me a card. I'm slightly concerned as I have gotten used to using NVENC in OBS Studio and also about the LG CX48 but I guess the AMD card will be just as compatible as I think the TV does Freesync.

This is classic strawmanning @TNA :) but if I was being baited into that - take a look at the prices of the 2060, 2070 from 16 months ago. Do you think they have come down at all (discount the Supers as this skews the argument, they came later)? No they have not, so even though AMD had the 5700 and the 5700XT which were the better buy on prices/performance, nvidia didnt really budge on pricing...

I see.

4K 120HZ monitor? Little confused as your Nvidia screenshot shows different. But i think if you change the refresh rate in Windows to 60HZ, then the correct bit depth will be detected first time without you having to change the resolution twice.

Don't know anything about your setup, but will assume you're using an AMD GPU that supports HDMI 2.0 and up to 4K 60HZ.

The nVidia screenshot was taken from my PC and was just for comparison, I.e. I can control my resolution, refresh rate, colour depth etc. from one place.

My AMD rig is HDMI 2.0 on a 4K display, though it does support 120hz at 1440p but that's not really relevant.

Changing Pixel Format or Colour Depth is a constant back and forth from Windows to Radeon Software and there's no rhyme or reason to it. I set windows to 60hz and it defaults to 12bit 4:2:0, I can't then select 8 bit 4:4:4.

If I set the refresh rate to 59hz then back to 60hz I can now select 8bit 4:4:4, but it doesn't actually do anything.

And finally, if I leave this option ticked on and do the 59>60 switch again the setting actually holds :D

It shouldn't be this hard.
 
Thanks for all the replies regarding RDNA2 reviews, seems this is just a "reveal" with reviews then cards release. I reckon I was getting confused with Zen 3 release.

This has probably been asked before so apologies in advance, but, with the RDNA2 release due on the 28th oct, are there going to be any reviews for these cards released before the 28th oct? I don't want to buy summat without any info to peruse beforehand.

28th is not the actual release date when you can purchase the card.it's just the reveal event.so actual release date could be 1 month after.
