Nvidia Gets SALTY

The Vega VII is an absolutely stunning card to look at, considering that it's a reference design.
Honestly, I think it's a better looking card than the reference RTX 2080.

Now the Vega VII will probably beat the RTX 2080 in a few tasks, given that it has so much bandwidth, and isn't based on the Turing architecture (so there is just going to be some differences).
It admirable to see AMD stick to HBM for this card, as that's a really cool technology.

The RTX 2080 may very well beat AMD Radeon's card in gaming, especially so if Nvidia's able to support their gaming line like usual.
In terms of modern titles running rasterisation, at high framerates DLSS on the RTX line will stomp AMD.
No amount of brute force from the Vega VII can compete with that.
Luckily for AMD, DLSS isn't something that can be just enabled for a game, as it has to be done on a game by game basis.
So on older titles, and modern titles, that don't have DLSS support, the Vega VII may be able to compete.

Turing has other technology that hasn't been leveraged fully yet, like mesh shading, and VRS.
So who knows what the future holds, and what card will actually be a better buy.
Honestly though, Nvidia has to come out with a 7nm card eventually (though, they don't have to), and AMD have Navi coming.
So for the vast majority of consumers, both cards aren't at all worth it.

Jensen isn't being salty, he's just being rude.
