Why RX5700/XT reviews when most people keep buying Polaris cards?
Crazy, right?
You are not paying much of attention.
The 980Ti was overtaken by 1070 11 months later for $379, the 780Ti was overtaken 9 months later by 970 for $330, etc ...
Do you think AMD is better? Look at the Radeon VII, a $700 GPU that in 5 months went EOL due to a $400 card ...
nVidia, nor any other company has much control over what retailers charge for their products. Or did you forget the mining craze the past two years and how much both nVidia AND AMD cards skyrocketed in price? It's called supply and demand. Seems they don't teach this in schools these days.
I think you are the one that not paying much of attention, those previous series are all different manufacturing process and also different tech implemented in them so it make sense with the price difference and performance difference. This super series are not... it is still same manufacturing process same implemented tech with the original RTX 2080 yet the price are cheaper. It means original RTX 2080 has a very huge margin profit in the price because there are no competition from AMD at that time. Looks what happen when RX 5700 XT came out and that GPU has a very competitive price, Nvidia are forced lower their GPU price and sold this Super series crap.

Nvidia brought more performance at same or less price, perfectly normal in a resfresh. It feels that nothing Nvidia does is okay, because if the cards are expensive, we complain because they´re expensive, if it's cheaper we complain because they´re cheaper ...
Regarding price adjustments, it is normal to have them, in all generations there are price adjustments throughout the product life cycle, it´s nothing new. AMD has already started this by dropping $50 on the RX5700/XT after seeing the performance and price of the RTX Super!
If you criticize Nvidia, you should also criticize AMD, because they were also preparing to charge $50 more if the RTX Super didn't come!

Why are there so many rtx reviews when most people keep buying gtx cards? Is guru3d bribed?

No it not's like this in the past, new series always have 1 year gap. Nvidia could sell their RTX card at Super series price from the beginning but since they don't have a competitor they getting their head big and sell it with higher price. Now AMD are catching them up in the performance and since ray tracing and DLSS are garbage they start using strategies like this Super series crap...
Next time I build my 2nd rig, I'll definitely goes to AMD card instead.
