New AMD VIIIIIIIIIIII
 

You see this is why I want Navi to be good, and in a way thanks to this i am glad its delayed so that AMD can put more into it to make it undercut Nvidia.
To me Ray tracing does not interest me, maybe in a few years when its perfected and more games support it but not now.
I just want AMD to have a ryzen for GPU's already, they came close with Vega but not close enough.

There's no reason why anyone would want either of these companies to fail unless they enjoy being gouged by monopolies. In any competitive arena there will be someone/something that performs better in some way and fanfare rhetoric will reflect brand loyalty despite any irrelevance or insignificance, particularly when a new feature is added. I, like most gamers, have no use for DXR and will more than likely never find interest in it, but it may be present in my future upgrades due to standard integration. 
 
I have seen people brag about upgrading from a 970 to a 980 Ti, to a 1080 Ti, to a Titan Xp, to a 2080 Ti and finally to a Titan RTX. SAME GUY. Why??? Same reason morons wait in a line in increment weather for a $1000 iphone.
 
At these prices it makes little sense to upgrade with the current technology, regardless of vendor. Assembling from scratch allows flexibility given the amount of Pascal stock still available.
 
Vega is not a bad performing card, this comment based on experience. What essentially did seal it's fate was AMD raising prices of their Vega GPU, which was further compounded by unavailability. I saw some cards selling for $1500 USD as a result. Ridiculous given gaming AND compute performance. The ONLY 2 reasons why I bought one was because my daughter wanted an AMD card (it was her build) and I got the best deal ever. I would have otherwise waited for prices to drop.
 
 

Vega2 is just what its named, Vega.
AMD made vega (with little changes and a shrink) as fast as a 2080. This is big deal for AMD to take an old tech and to catch up with nvidia in terms of FPS (all that matters in mybook).
So Navi (coming this year) should be pretty cool.

I think Jensen may have seen it this way. Im sure he's upset with the fall in his company’s share prices, opening up to Freesync, and his only competitor playing catch up with a stinky old Vega getting a 7nm refresh.
