Yea Nvidia GPUs are certainly not price competitive but that is also reflected in the used market from what I have seen. I was going to sell my Strix 3080 which I bought for $1250 CAD during launch, now it's selling for $850-$900 in the used market. AIB 6800XTs are selling for around $700-$750 in comparison, sometimes less. If you don't care about Nvidia goodies like RT/DLSS/Reflex, then it's pretty easy to recommend going with Radeon.

Even of you care about those, it still makes more sense recommending the AMD GPUs over the similarly-priced NVidia variants right now.

Due to the performance disparity, the gap in Raytracing is very narrow at that price tag, and DLSS has FSR as an AMD counterpart that has catched up enough to make both virtually indistinguishable from each other in movement. Which just leaves Reflex as an advantage that NVidia GPUs still have at those price tags, but that one's not big enough to fill the gap in raw performance.

Yea like I said, Nvidia GPUs are certainly not price competitive currently. It's more so if you managed to buy a Nvidia GPU during launch, your GPU would have retained a higher value when it comes to selling it. But if you are buying a new GPU now, Radeon does win in the value argument by quite a lot.

Apparently, we're going to have some sweet new prices for the Ryzen 5000s.

Ryzen 9 5950X: $799 → $549 ($250 discount)
Ryzen 9 5900X: $549 → $349 ($200 discount)
Ryzen 7 5800X3D: $449 → $329 ($120 discount)
Ryzen 7 5800X: $449 → $249 ($200 discount)
Ryzen 5 5600X: $299 → $159 ($140 discount)

Very juicy prices. Makes spending extra money to buy zen 4 pretty pointless with that 5800X3D price. And if you haven't bought Alder Lake, not much reason to invest into getting Raptor Lake either.
