Who cares, when it's the same price and performance as a 2080 without the RTX?

It's $100 cheaper than a 2080 at the same performance levels going by current pricing and you can do a lot with $100
And the 2080 is massively overpriced and the most disappointing Nvidia GPU I can remember. How AMD thinks this is good is beyond me, no wonder Mike Rayfield was fired. Ryzen 3000 looked good though, hopefully that was the Ryzen 5 as was rumoured.Who cares, when it's the same price and performance as a 2080 without the RTX?

How are 2080 RTX enabled framerates these days, playable yet?
Battlefield got patched to make it much more playable with RT enabled I believe, you're best googling benchmarks.
And the standard gouging for "insert multitude of bs reasons here".
Honestly, the cheapest non-gimped 2080 is like 850 euros. If the Vega 7 is nearer to 700-750, that would be a huge hit. I'm much more worried they'll be sold out or will be limited in regional availability as afaik AMD's selling them directly and there'll be no aib variants.

Hopefully it'll mean 2080/2080ti gets reduced.
This is exactly why people want AMD to be competitive, not to buy their product but to reduce the price of their competitor

Wrong. I found cheapest KFA2 RTX 2080 EX (1 click OC) in Europe shops for 649 euros.
First of all, that card is gimped. Secondly, the shop you found it at sells only in Germany. The situation is a bit better in the UK, the Palit GamingPro OC is £700 (=770ish euros), but that's the cheapest non-gimped 2080 from a brand with poor CS & a shop with even poorer reputation. Better than the initial estimate though, I'll freely admit. Still not competitive with a £700 Radeon 7 if that's what it ends up costing.

It used to be slightly over 60 fps with dips below 60 fps. Then they tweaked Battlefield V by removing some of the RTX reflections to increase the framerate. I'm sure they'll remove even more RTX reflections in the next update which will increase performance further. It's really impressive the way they're working so hard to improve RTX performance.
Funny you should ask: https://www.hardocp.com/article/201..._nvidia_ray_tracing_rtx_2080_ti_performance/9
The most amusing thing in that article is seeing how both 2080ti & 2080 are showing vram to be their biggest weakness. The tragicomical element is we've seen this play out before a couple of times, always with the same ending, and yet it keeps happening with every new gpu gen.

There are three RTX 2080's on UK Google shopping for a bit less than £650 (one is free shipping).
Do they come with 3 games? And are they actual brand names with good customer support? Some of the brand are a nightmare to deal with.
