I'm a bit meh on the XTX. I expected a definitive 10-15% lead but instead, it's a low single digits advantage over the 4080. For the same power consumption, they'll probably be about the same. Their performance per price is also the same if we're talking about RT on average. So it boils down to someone being willing or not to spend $200 more for an extra 16-26% RT performance.
While there are bugs to be fixed on the voltage curve that might improve power consumption, I doubt that will allow for much higher clocks without a refresh. The saving grace here is the chiplet design allowing the Navi 31 chip to be cheaper to manufacture than AD103, so at least RTG can compete in a price war.
