Very interesting, I'm actually disappointed at the prices of a card that can't actually do ray tracing. Even if it's enabled through drivers, they should be able to produce port royal numbers but I'm not seeing that. It does look like they are going to pull in a lot of new customers just because their product will actually be available, so that will be great for the users that are using AMD. However, numbers and charts between NVIDIA and AMD have been deceptive. The RX 5700XT cards I ran all had about the same performance as my RTX 2080 in many games if you only look at FPS numbers. However, the overall experience was way worse and the lag effect I experienced on AMD was hard to explain because the frame rates were higher but weird things like rubber-banding effects would happen in first person shooters. I spent far too much time reimaging my hard drives to get a clean install of windows so I could troubleshoot the issues, things that you would think are related to other hardware were becoming problems only when I installed an AMD card... I'll be skipping them this go around, I just hope this series gets enough people for them to iron out a lot of those problems.

Oh yeah, NGreedia totally changed things with RT performance with the 30 series! RTX 3080 is a whopping 10% faster than overclocked 2080 Ti (11.5k vs 10.3k Port Royal). And look at that 3080 absolutely scream in newer games, look at this performance!

Dude RT is ready for prime time! Meanwhile HDR costs next-to-nothing and absolutely annihilates ray tracing. 
 
So glad I'm out of NGreedia's crummy ecosystem with price-gouging nonsense. $1500 for the 80 Ti card on garbage tier node (Samsung 8nm EUV is actually 10nm) , no thanks. And yes, it's the 80 Ti card, not the Titan card.
