All gonna compete to order that shit. I personally won't be ordering from Nvidia directly as the first batch of their 2000 series had some serious hardware issues that needed to be RMA'd. Gonna hope that I can get on board with the second batch.

I'm def waiting till next year. Prices might be slightly cheaper by then as production ramps up.

I dunno why some here are thinking Big Navi will be better or the same as the 3080. It's got to do the same as the 3080 and cost less if they really want to beat that card. There's virtually no sense in going for the card if it costs less, but is dogshit with RT, because that should honestly be the main focus here, RT is moving forward with it's second gen, and it sounds batshit silly to go for Big navi, because it's cheaper, when the whole point is meant to be for RT. The whole 4k chase isn't what this platform is about (especially when we look at Steam stats and general forum talk), the 4k chase is marketed and boasted by consoles for the past few years. 

The funny thing is, this isn't even Nvidia's primary goal. Rasterization performance is obviously a main thing and so is Ray Tracing. But Nvidia's main goal is DLSS and Ai Reconstruction. At this rate as huge leaps slow down and shitz get more expensive, there is going to be a land of diminishing returns and Nvidia's investment into DLSS and Ai is gonna pay off massively.

Like that Geforce Broadcaster thing they did was insane. They took a room that had no green screen and still managed to change it while keeping the human intact. Now idk how well that will work in practice but we know how good Nvidia's Ai is.

AMD meanwhile is struggling on Rasterization, hasn't even started Ray Tracing until November and "Machine Learning" performance of the Series X is worse than 2060.

Now obviously, AMD has something cooking cause Nvidia wouldn't price these the way they have unless they had a good reason to. So I think AMD will be competitive in Rasterization and to some extent, Ray Tracing. But the feature set that Nvidia is offering is like, yea sure, you have a GPU that might be able to keep up with a 3080 (Doubt it) in Rasterization. Most likely worse Ray Tracing performance but lets say for the sake of argument, same ray tracing performance. And that's it...

Meanwhile, Nvidia users not enjoy those benefits but also enjoy huge jumps in performance in those games that support DLSS + All the additional features that Nvidia GPU has to offer. Not to mention, the Driver nonsense that always plagues AMD GPU launches. But don't worry, it will be $50 cheaper.

But hey, it could change. I could also be a billionaire tomorrow. You don't know.
