In this review, we look at the two new graphics cards released by AMD, the Radeon 5700 and 5700 XT. Both cards are based on the new NAVI GPU, fabricated at a 7nm node and capable of battling with NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 2060 and 2070. Join us in an in-depth review of these new 8GB GDDR6 based graphics cards.

Customers aren't doing that though. Those buying a 2080 Ti aren't doing it for its exclusive features (RTX), there is simply no other alternative at this point in terms of absolute performance. RTX (or lack thereof) is hardly a factor in purchasing decisions - nobody cares about a feature that will nearly halve their FPS (no matter how shiny the reflections are).
If AMD came out with a 2080 Ti competitor for much cheaper (say, $700) but it did not have DXR, I doubt a single person would care about the lack of ray-tracing. Similarly, if Nvidia released a GTX 1680 Ti that was just as fast as a RTX 2080 Ti for $700, it would sell like hotcakes (directly at the expense of the 2080 Ti).
Many get their panties twisted when Nvidia has an exclusive feature, dunno why. To me, any new tech is welcome. Let the consumer decide what they want from their graphics card and base their purchase on that.

I said let the consumer decide what they want from their purchase. Be it RTX, be it great performance to dollar at $300, be it budget gpu. People are free to do whatever they want.

Then assume cause of thermal issue for me. What else do you really think is secondary cause?
Let's not assume this issue only applies to badly assembled coolers.

Umm because the point I was making wasn't how much more we pay vs US but how much more the NV card is charged here relative to the AMD cards if using the US RRP as basis? You might want to read my comment again.
why are you comparing AUS pricing to US pricing when average person in AUS has twice the income of average person in US?

So here in Australia prices for the NV cards continues to be a joke. The cheapest 2070 Super card that I can see here so far cost AUD939 which is ~USD659 whereas the 5700XT is a much more reasonable AUD679 which is ~USD475; so basically tax plus a little bit on top which is perfectly acceptable.
Next year pending on how Cyberpunk runs as well whether or not prices settle and if any new cards get released I might seriously consider getting my first ever Radeon card.
