Well I would hope it is, AMD/ATI have always been competitive in the GPU market.

everything bar the high tier i would say
and even then sometimes they are but not as often
for high end performance they could very well have a comeback !
just look at the cpus

If this is the case and the new GPU is competitive with 3080 expect it to be sold out as quick if not quicker then the 30series, those in the queue, and those who didn't even bother getting into the queue will be jumping on, sites will go down, and so on...there is lots of people waiting, and all are frustrated.
Except AMD might have actually made enough cards to satisfy demand...

Maybe... We can hope ha

I once had a pre-order for a 3080 on the 17th, ordered 14:18pm and queue position was ridiculous. Cancelled my order over a week ago and have decided to wait for AMD announcements and 3070 availability.
According to Moore's Law Is Dead, there should be an absurd amount of stock for the 3070... we'll see on that? After this fiasco, I'll wait and see what's on offer from both camps at the end of this month.
Also putting a budget down of £550 max.

You ordered 18 mins after release and your que position was ridiculous? I ordered at 17.45pm and I was 121 when que numbers were given and that's on one of the more popular cards... My chances of getting any other card that's close to an equivalent, before 121 units of my card is shipped, I would've thought are next to non existent, unless I'm willing to pay a silly price. So I find that hard to believe, what's "ridiculous" to you?
If your budget is £550 max then fair enough, that's a reason to cancel, I just can't imagine you had a bad que number ordering at 14:18pm...

My queue position was 400+... so common sense kicked in and decided to wait it out for both teams to release. I believe £550 will be fine for what AMD will have to offer soon.
After 18 mins your que position was 400+? Jesus, I don't blame you... I must've got really lucky then. Best of luck with the AMD or 3070 release anyway.

Not sure how it works but I had an order confirmation at 14:18, but my account didn't reflect payment received until late evening. So perhaps that affected the overall position I had. But I think we all need luck with all these cards now and soon.
Consumers shouldn't be needing luck to obtain a product, it's really quite ludicrous that they have manufactured this rarity.
I think that there will be a sudden influx of cards right before AMD cards are either announced or released that will seemingly appear from thin air.

And who among the consumers will take offense? Nobody. That is the 'get of out jail' card consumers hand on to nvidia for free.
Well I think that quite a few people are offended by it, but they also neeeed to have the gpu so they won't do anything about it but bemoan the situation whilst sitting in the queue salivating with anticipation.
