If there isn't any Crypto-bubble to blow the doors off the prices of these, then Nvidia is going to have to show value for these. Particularly when AMD is right around the corner with another potential giant-killer product that they might not take the performance crown with but might be willing to make a serious value play with. Maybe they don't get an all out win they are doing with Intel this time but perhaps they get close for 75% of the price. If I can, I am going to wait this time to see what BigNavi holds. Whatever they are going to call RDNA3.0 is where all bets are off as to who get the top spot.
As to people saying "burr like AMD is ever any good" has it really been that long since ATI was smoking nVidia, who went through a current-Intel-like doldrums of their own? 6xxx and 7970 was the bomb and their mid-range 4590? card was awesome too. AMD bought them and they then suffered their own period of tough times but its hard to be on top forever.
AMD drivers have been total garbage for a LONG time. They aren't going to compete with Nvidia in any meaningful way until they fix it. Which they never will.
