The good thing is that I don't have to wait. Even if Big Navi is performing better on pure rasterization than a 3080 it's still better to go Nvidia thanks to their quite advanced RT and Tensor cores. I know absolutely nothing about AMD's RT capabilities, but I already know it won't be as good. Even if we pretend that AMD can go toe to toe on RT I very much doubt they will sacrifice as much real estate on their chips for it as Nvidia has. And on the AI side of things AMD is basically dead. I assume they will show some stuff, but I doubt they will have many specialized cores to do it.
So not only will Nvidia have the performance crown but their cards will also age better with more and more games adopting RT and DLSS. So for me there is absolutely no point in waiting for AMD. The only thing I'm waiting on right now is PCIe benchmarks and then I'll pull the trigger on my new build. The way Nvidia talked about PCIe advantages actually makes me think it's a substantial difference and they're only trying to downplay it for their best buddy Intel.
If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.
