NVIDIA also announces RTX 2080 Super: available from July 23
You might have just read our GeForce RTX 2060 Super and RTX 2070 Super review, however, Nvidia also announces a third Super video card. The RTX 2080 Super is launching the 23rd of July 2019, the GeForce RTX 2080 Super has 3072 activated shader processors for the Super version.
With 64 ROP units and 192 texture units, it will not be a slouch. It has an 1815 MHz boost clock for the founders version. This card has also been fitted with even faster 15.5 Gbps GDDR6 memory, 8GB of it. This card will get a 250 Watt TDP. This product (founders edition) will be priced at 699 USD.
Really, GeForce RTX 2080 Super might be the smallest upgrade of all: with 3072 Shader cores, it has a fully enabled TU104 GPU. That is only 4% more than with the regular RTX 2080, however, the higher memory bandwidth on the 8GB graphics memory and a boost clock speed of 1815 MHz might do the trick.

To be fair saying the opposite would be just as delusional. We may get an idea of what Navi is capable in a few days but I want to see RDNA not running in “GCN compatibility mode”.
Again, you present
assumptions as reality.

With AMD GPUs it's always about the "next big thing", but unfortunately, that "next big thing" never arrives and Nvidia is taking advantage to increase its market share more and more.
AMD has not even released Navi yet, and people are already saying, "the next one will be great", "next time AMD will do this or that". It´s always about "the next time"...
People keep telling this for years and here we are.
I was thinking exactly this when reading @angelgraves13 's comment. Not that he might not be right, but at this point I wouldn't even think that far ahead...
I also wouldn't have expected such a long gap between GPU releases with Nvidia, then RTX suddenly popping up, or that AMD would rebrand their Tahiti cards three times etc. etc. so I was rather hesitant to voice what you said.

I am not saying opposite. I consider possibility. There are things on architecture level which we can evaluate and make educated guess. But none of us knows.
I doubt that people in AMD and nVidia know enough about upcoming changes in GPUs of other company to make such statements without sounding ridiculous.

Some of you defending one brand over another without thinking that competition is always good for us customers,radeon weakening is the sole cause nvidia can pull off US$1200 in the first place for the flagship 2080Ti.
Like some of you who defended Intel no matter what,ended with you getting fed with mainstream 4 cores for 10 years+ and still praising Intel.
Brainwashing at its finest.

I don't think Nvidia will be riding the performance crown for much longer. Once "big" Navi comes next year with RDNA2, Nvidia will launch Ampere. I expect them both to be competitive if Navi 20 and RDNA2 can deliver either 100 to 128 CUs.
Nvidia will counter with Ampere on 7nm EUV from Samsung. 5136 cores is where I'd but the RTX 3080 Ti. 16GBs 14-16Gbit memory. Ampere will likely have true hardware async compute and scheduling. Expect another 30-45% performance increase. 30% if they sandbag us like they did with the RTX series, later releasing the Super. I expect a 2.5X increase in RT cores to get RTX playable at 4K. I hope it doesn't cost $1200 again, but it likely will.
Next year will be interesting though for sure...AMD will be going the Zen route with Radeon, so expect yearly releases of GPUs from now now. It'll likely take another generation for AMD to beat Nvidia, so not big Navi, but the next-gen architecture RDNA3, will be the one to keep an eye on. They'll not only catch up to Nvidia next year, but they'll pass them in 2021. It's going to get very competitive in 2020+. Also Intel might have something...but for now they're no threat.
