Seems this is the way to go if you care about the best 1080p performance. I'm a bit surprised the compute performance was so lacking, since that's usually what AMD was pretty good at in the past.
Raytracing performance isn't all that great but I guess it could've been worse.

Price is higher than I'm willing to pay.

Great card, with couple of niggling issues. Performance seems to drop off with higher resolutions. And RTX performance is mediocre.

If the price is right and there's availability, then I'll have to say well done AMD.

Kind of what was expected.

Nice that leaked info/rumours appeared right for once, not so nice this is another paper launch.
0 available in my country. shops didnt get any at all, and they do not have a clue when they do will have stock.

Guess i will still stick to my 1070.

Haven't finished reading but im curious how the RT compatibility is? Do all previous RT enabled games (including early ones like BF5) also run on this?

Edit: Looking at other sites, I see at least Metro/Control work fine. Seems like RDNA with RT on falls way behind though.
