That’s why buying neither is the right call from a consumer perspective as that’s the only way to bring down prices as clearly these companies don’t want to compete against each other and are both happy to charge way over the top for 2 products that last gen would have sat around RX6800/3070ti in performance terms.

LOL if your only game is CP2077 then sure the 4080 is a win 
That's interesting. Do the lower 4080 sales reflect in better numbers up & down the stack, i.e. 4090 & 4070/Ti? I'd think that the people already spending >£1000 might just jump to the 4090, whilst the more budget conscious would go for 4070/Ti. 4080 is the man in the middle, never a great position.

4090 sells in great volumes, end of the day the customer buying a halo card is less concerned about cost, its all about performance or having the best, so 4090 sells incredibly well for us and has done since launch, were also the ONLY UK store with them in stock from £1499.
Since the start of the month AMD have had some very strong deals, 7900 XT and XTX are both consistent strong sellers for us, but since the deals cards like the 6950 XT, 6800 XT, 6700 XT and 6600 are absolutely flying now in large volumes, the prices we have hit have certainly got the consumer spending again at OcUK on AMD and thus AMD sales numbers are very strong here at present.

Strong compared to the rest of this generation or as an overall compared to previous releases and is it due to the price drops?
I'm just wondering if the reported scare mongering of the media that stock is sitting on shelves is accurate or just media BS and if it is accurate what as a retailer do you think should be done? Are the prices wrong or is this the future as its more costly to shrink the nodes and grind out performance?

It really doesn’t though. I can easily post a single benchmark where it beats it. A single benchmark doesn’t really mean anything, and the 4080 certainly doesn’t ‘wipe the floor’ with an XTX as an all round product IMO.
Sadly for AMD it's not even a competition anymore. For £100 more the 4080 wipes the floor with the XTX.
Got to love the cherry picking lol.
For those who don't care about RT and don't accept the limitations of frame generation I'm sure the 7900 xtx is very competitive.

£1000 not halo class cards are a joke.
Lets not mention 600 quid for a reskinned 4060.

Loving the 4070, £280 after selling my old card, great upgrade.

to be fair all i see is cards arn't selling so amd have dropped the price for a while .. i'll wait a while longer .. there desperate to get rid .. over stocked ..
I would love to see a single benchmark where the XTX even doubles the performance of the 4080, let alone quadruples it.
I'll wait.
Not having FG in the first place is a bigger limitation than whatever flaws you can find with it. More than 0 will always be better than 0.

So what? Just because the 4080 is faster at ray tracing in certain situations/titles, doesn’t mean that it ‘wipes the floor’ with the XTX. A single outlier benchmark doesn’t mean anything. If you look at a large number of titles the XTX is consistently faster than a 4080 or at least very competitive.
Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 XTX Nitro+ Review - Maxing out 3x 8-Pin
The Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 XTX Nitro+ comes with the largest factory overclock of all Navi 31 cards that we've tested so far. Sapphire was also very generous with their power limits. During overclocking, with increased limits we were able to max out the 525 W power delivery capability of the 3x...

I mean picking a single ray traced game and using that as a representation for the entire comparison....don't worry none of us think you're a Nvidia fan boy.
I mean why would anybody buy a 4080 when a 7900xt absolutely destroys this, i mean look at this absolute destruction half the price and more performance
Now if you will excuse me i'm eating a rather delicious bowl of cherrys
