It is more costly than needed. If 2080S was around 650eur and 2080ti around 875eur, they would be smart buy. Better bang for buck than any AMD's offerings.

I don't know if RTX was a huge flop or has nVidia sold enough of them. Buying 20XX now is insanity though so this thing is too late to the party.
This year i will finally be able to build my dream PC as i came into some money. Problem is the waiting game, should i wait for AMD 4950X and nVidia Ampere that's the question.

@Reddoguk ... If you would like to go on AMD route ... what is on the table now is pretty good ... But I would advice you to wait for 4*** , maybe you can get a nice discount or buy something better then . I will either keep this processor or I will excange mine if with 4900x if the leap in performance is justified.
As for Nvidia ... Ya ... definitely wait... what you can get right now is two years old tech ... wait for something better and newer . In my opinion AMD has better colors and latency response ..... with that in mind I still favor nvidia. I only owned 3 - 4 AMD graphic cards.
So , overall .. wait 6 - 8 more moths ... you wan't be sorry

With an Ampere nearing no one should be spending 800euro for a 2080.
Its fast though.
