I don't understand the "enthusiast" award at all. I've always understood enthusiast to mean top of the line... Or very near top end. In what world is a 5700 non XT an enthusiast GPU? Are they saying that it can be "tuned" or OC'd well? If so, that still is not what most people consider enthusiast category. Comparing a 5700 and a 2080ti Kingpin for enthusiast category is just absurd imo. Newer PC builders would really be thrown off here....
@@pleasuretokill I think they define "enthusiast" as "people who like playing around with their hardware in ways many don't even consider possible, and most deem unsafe for the product."
@@phillgizmo8934 I realized my mistake after I posted. Since the CUTE PET is a (not) 580, which is from 2018, and Steve was only reviewing the actual silicon, then it would technically not be applicable for these awards.
My vote would be any of the new Intel HEDT CPUs plus *all* of the new 60's series GPUs. So a 1660, 1660 Super, 1660 TI, 2060, and 2060 Super. Not that any of those are exactly bad, but that line up is just a confusing mess.
The 1660 fit a really weird price point for me building a new rig. It was a solid upgrade compared to a struggling 650 ti, but it was a begrudgingly bitter purchase due to the terrible marketing numbering nonsense. The whole super thing still pisses me off they need to calm down with the marketing and be transparent about what you are buying
I took a year off from following hardware news around the RTX launch and after coming back I just don't know where to even begin. The GPU market is a complicated expensive nightmare.
True words... There isn't a worthwhile upgrade available from that GPU yet. A little manual overclock nets you 2080 Super level performance. Still rocking mine from when the card first launched.
Nihilim Obscuras I mean that’s how it works, and how it’s always worked. xx80 is always equal to the xx70 card of the next gen, don’t see why the same isn’t applicable to xx80 Ti cards either.
Money has nothing to do with it, all those cards are reviewer samples sent for free. You could do the same thing if you worked for a tech journalist, or even just a system integrater.
@@trapical Not all where samples some Steve had or chose to buy. Nonetheless, to run the channel requires substantial investment. That is why they have a patreon and sell merch.

ncis Im using a B450 Tomahawk Max, for a 6C CPU dont need more and it is has the best VRM B450 for the price and can still upgrade in the future Latest BZ video also recommends the Mortar, B450=Msi cant go wrong there

My black friday experience so far: I) I waited 1.5 months to renew my pc (and phone!) II) I saved a wishlist of 13 different parts to hopefully buy on this black friday on amazon. III) Amazon discounted none of them. IV) ryzen 5 3600 even went UP in price. V) The better 5700XT are already out of stock. Great fun.
@@loganbogan9 that's pretty incredible, they must have had huge margins if they can do that. Sadly in Europe tech is so much more expensive. And I still have not upgraded because of how sad I was about that. I've started looking back into it now because I want to play RE2 at a decent level, but in fact each day something else is going out of stock (GPU, CPU, m2 SSDs, even cases and the apparently only b450 motherboard with integrated wifi i.e. MSI gaming carbon) so I'll probably have to wait after christmas. And to top it all, amd's 2020 edition drivers are currently a disaster, to the point I'm wondering whether I should even buy the 5700 xt in the first place, even though it's price-to-performance on paper is miles ahead.

Another NVIDIA hater , did you speak about games tech compatibility ? At least NVIDIA try new things,they take risks, AMD dont bother, they are in Reaction, not in ACTION, so , if you want the lead, take NVIDIA , if you want the cheap, go with AMD
@@offlinegamer6756 Not a NVIDIA hater at all. I have both AMD and NVIDIA cards across both my systems. I hope you weren't addressing me in that statement. Don't be so quick to to pull that hate trigger mate. You have to admit, they have gone crazy with the naming and releasing of oddly disjointed cards this year.
@@dumitrumitu did you not get Stutters, resolution issues, overheating, game crashes? I couldn't stand all the issues I had with that fucking card. I returned it and got a 2070 Super. Worked like a charm straight out of the box (after driver installation lol).
Juan Correa yea the new update fixed a lot of the issues lol but you are right the 2070 super had better drivers from day one but as of right now the 5700 xt is running great 👍 I might just get a 2080 super honestly future proof and is 4-9% stronger than the 1080 ti
As someone who does production work the Radeon VII was well worth the money. What’s disappointing is that they let it end so soon as we’ve been thinking of getting more for future projects as we scale. They’re so hard to find new.
I am currently using the rx 5700 xt and I am very pleased with it. While running GTAV at 1080p max graphics, it runs smoothly and peaks at 70~80 degrees Celsius.
It was disappointing but now that I have it, it's doing it's job very well and I am still thinking about putting a liquid cooler on it, because I managed 2GHZ on the chip with just the normal cooler. At these speeds it is still a good card if you need more than 5700XT performance but would never buy green :D
@@Freakarmy BRUH. Put it on water. It never got a fair fighting chance to perform out the gate due to driver issues. Now it's a mothafucking beast. 33k on FS 1080p with OLC!
Best GPU 2019 is a used 1080ti you got for 400$ when RTX just came out and people were rushing to upgrade before they relized what an overpriced golden turd with nothing to offer it actually is
Now's a good time to buy one. Saw one for sale for 320 dollars yesterday. Sure beats just about everything else for half the cost if you're okay with buying used and don't care about ray tracing which you shouldn't.
at least you bought the gigabyte one. I bought the AMD blower cooler one and its just as loud as everyone said it was.I returned it and ended up buying a 2070 super.Granted it cost me 100 dollars more but the noise reduction was well worth it. the stock 5700xt sounds like a jet engine
@@kyles8524 Why did you buy a stock 5700xt? Lmfao... I thought everyone with a brain waited for the after market coolers. AMD blower styles have been shit for YEARS.
I've had mine since close to launch and haven't had a single problem. I set a custom fan curve and OC memory to 930 and get very good performance in everything I've played so far
This will be my second year of watching & after the first couple of months I haven't missed a video, except for the live streams, bit late for me in the UK but I always catch them later. I have yet to find another tech channel that gives the same level of info. I would just like to say Thank You Steve & the rest of the team we rarely see, for all your hard work.
Nah the hotter it is the better it runs. This is why when testing benchmarks it's a good idea to quickly make a ride directly into the sun to get the advantage.
I just built my wife an AMD system in preparation for another hellish winter here in Montana. If it is anything like last year, the fireplace will need help keeping the place warm. Reaching -40F in March and getting four feet of snow in September, I am only half joking.
1660 super is a great card for 1080p gaming. I had a xfx rx570 8gb but it just struggled to hit 100fps unless on medium settings. So now im on ultra settings at 100plus. I love it
For some people is hard to get the first pc. In my case, I'm aware enough about PC parts to not purchase a pre built, but not rich enough to buy a dream pc. Real life priorities and stuff... You know the drill...
@@ijustsawthat Hmm..... why didn't you consider 2400G/3400G then? Vega 11 is pretty capable, comparable with GT1030 when coupled with faster ram and a decent overclock.
Enjoyable video, and I am DEEPLY relieved that I didn't buy a disappointment last night (when replacing my 2012 rig with a 2013 gpu...). Just a nitpick - manually set your focus for doing those long traversing shots across a range of products (eg. 4:25) so that the camera autofocus doesn't snap to each product suddenly (jarringly) during the smooth movement. I dunno if I used the right words tbh, I'm not a videographer and I'm barely able to hold a dSLR and know what the settings mean, but it was just something that popped out at me while watching.
Too many people complain about driver problems just based off of videos where specific reviewers had problems, I never had a problem since the day it came out (bought it that day too). The only problem I had was a random freezing of my system in Modern Warfare and computer crashes with specifically Continuum 2.0 shaders in Minecraft, all of which were resolved in the latest drivers. No I haven't had overheating, it's not loud, and it's the blower-style reference card with the sick dent. Sorry for the rant, I just don't like people hating this card for few problems that few people had.
I'm very happy to see some budget GPUs being optimized for 1080p settings at even High graphics. Especially with energy efficiency. I appreciate smaller builds now, with much smaller energy footprints. It saves power for other things, and I don't have to worry about random circuit breaker issues in winter (heaters cost a lot of energy). In this way I can get better quality monitors/TVs and play games clear with higher Hertz and still have clear image quality. I've been using a 1660 Ti (which isn't budget per se, but very energy efficient for the power) recently and it's nice being able to take my PC to a friend's house or otherwise with no fuss. I can even transfer it between rooms with little effort. I'm very excited for the mini-console style PC builds that might be possible in the future, so long as they still let me mod my build, we cool.
I'm actually impressed and pleased with my Radeon VII. The driver did take long enough to stabilize, but it works great. Good FPS and I plan to pair it with a Ryzen 3950X. I will say the Radeon VII does like power !! That GPU is not for a small PSU or a budget build.
Still love my Radeon VII. Nothing in its price touched/touches it in scientific compute workloads. 16GB of HBM2, for number crunching it is the best "consumer" card you could have bought in 2019. I understand this is "Gamers" Nexus but not all computers are "gaming" computers. There is a reason the new Mac Pro has basically the Radeon VII in it. It is a BEAST of a card for the price.
Yup, I have no clue what card to buy, there are so many similar gpus... not to mention the regional price weirdness where I live. I guess I'll stick with my (pretty heavily) OCd 1070 TI until an affordable 4k capable card shows up! The 1070 TI is holding the line pretty well tbh ^^
I was choosing between 5700xt and 2070s, while I really wanted to pick up the 5700xt, cause on paper it's amazing value, so many people around that got one run into issues with the drivers. I eventually payed extra and grabbed the 2070s from EVGA. Once AMD sort their driver issues out and maybe make some 2080TI alternative I'll look into their products again.
Yeah at the start the 5700xt had really bad drivers but now it's actually really good, I got one like a month from launch and was pretty disappointed but now I'm happy with my purchase
@@corndog2369 I still bought AMD CPU last year so my part is done in supporting them for now. :) Glad to hear it! If I had tight budget I would still pick 5700xt as a no brainer, basically there is no alternative price wise.
@@TheEtherea oh yeah absolutely, the 2070s is an amazing card, the main reason I didn't go 2070 super was how bad Australias pricing was at the time It was like $640 vs $960
UV Yeah, the 2070 Super is your better and only choice for great visual quality streaming at the 400 to 500 dollars price point without compromising performance. AMD sucks hard for streaming
I agree with the whole video except maybe best budget card. at 130$ I think the RX570 is still a smart buy. The 1650 Super definitely beats out the rx580 by both price by a very minor margin, and performance/watt. However RX570s price and performance is still very tempting. I guess maybe there should be two budget segments. Maybe something like rx570 for "entry level" segment and 1650 super for the "budget" segment. I cannot fully deny the 1650 supers award, but the RX570 is still so relevant.
Interestingly the only issue I have with my 5700XT is that the fans react slowly to decreasing fan speed in the control panel. The sensor data has been correct since... 19.10.1?
I bought mine new 18+ months ago and am still in love with it. Someone please tell me how a 2080 Super could perform the same in games using 9.5GB+ of VRAM. I laugh at 2080 Super in 1080Ti!
Yeah, kind of. For a good price and with a decent amount of warranty: Yes, But judging by average prices on ebay (sold listings), it's more expensive than a 5700XT and comes with the few risks of buying used besides having less (or no) warranty. The 1080ti is better than the 5700XT, but not so much that I would just give out a general advice to buy the 1080ti over the 5700XT. I've bought my old 980ti Hybrid, all of my RAM in the last 10 years and a 4790K, R7 1700, (plus mobos) and countless of hardware for family/friends used in recent years, but right now it's a weird time for used GPUs to be honest. Especially the 5700 series offers such great price/performance, that it's not easy to find good used deals for the older generations in that price and/or performance range. For the
Hopefully there's a manufacturer awards video. I'm thinking MSI needs an award for "Most Positive Response to Criticism" award. They may not have retooled the offending GPU to achieve the better performance you were able to squeeze out of it... but they deserve some credit for their relatively quick attempt to fix the issues you pointed out, as well as flying some of their team over to actually listen to your criticisms in detail.
I went with a used Sapphire Nitro RX 580 8GB for 119.00. As much as I wanted to get a 5700, monitor restrictions (144hz doesn't have display port or HDMI 2) and a price point that just can't be argued with pushed me to get this card.
I wish you gave AMD a little more smack for putting artificial limitations on the non-XT card. Factually speaking yes that does make the 5700 a cute project card, but AMD deserves a little slap there.
I got the Red Dragon XT model and while the 1st card i got was defective, the 2nd one Amazon sent me has been kicking ass and taking names! I know most you would've went with the Red Devil but, I'm very happy to not have excessive RGB in my rig. Thanks Steve great roundup video!
I agree man. I bought two RX590's for $180 each on Black Friday. Your deal was better haha. But for what I play, I see no reason to go out and spend a crazy amount of money on a GPU.
If you buy used hardware, you could get even better deals. Especially when people upgrade from older enthusiast builds during Black Friday or Boxing Day... I picked up a used GTX 1070Ti for $200 USD. Performs like a ~$400 RTX 2060 AND has more Vram.
I bought the not-so-great XFX 5700 non-XT with the THICC2 Cooler, and after modding the cooler and flashing the bios, I have a super kick-ass card for $329.99 on Amazon. Extremely happy with my purchase, and I will hybrid mod it in the future for better temps.
Same here, no issues other than my pc randomly crashed under certain loads which was fixed and no longer occurs (seemed to be more of a motherboard update fix actually)
BilliusPillius yeah but only retards would buy the 590 you can get a good sapphire nitro + 580 for cheap that oc around same performance for way cheaper.
The rx 570 despite being years old is still the best budget gpu. The 1650s is 33% more expensive on average but only 25% more powerful and theres really not much reason to upgrade to anything between the rx 570 and 1660 ti because it takes until then to practically max 1080p60 and below that the rx 570 does perfectly well for the best price.
Correction, power input matters as much at the low end, or maybe even more. It's rather bizarre to say that budget buyers "don't care about a couple of watts". Budget gamers who also have to pay for their electricity SHOULD be worried about a 75 watt power difference. If you game for an average of 3 hours per day, thats roughly 10-30 euro difference in power cost per YEAR (depending on your electricity cost at 10~30 cent per kWh). If you plan on using the card for 2-3 years that can ramp up to quite a difference for a "budget user"
I don't have one yet but it's the most compelling card to buy in 2019. The 2070 regular might have been expensive at its launch but the 2070s is the same price as it was launched at and has significantly better performance.
@@albino_gringo1912 *£40, and it is worth it for ray tracing in Metro Exodus alone, as I said. Buyer's remorse is generally wasted emotion. I am happy with my purchase.
Thanks for the summary Steve! Too many products this year; I am normally a well informed consumer and do alot of product research but this year has been hell keeping up and trying to recommend good products to people, this video really helps narrow things down and makes things simple enough that I'm confident in my recommendations and how these people are better served by a certain product and explaining why certain cards are pointless. Thanks thanks thanks!!!!
This video is perfect for someone like me. Also I bought an rx 5700, flashed the bios to an XT, and now am in the middle of installing an Arctic Accelero Extreme V4 on it. All because of you. It was supposed to just be a gpu upgrade but I just cant stop now :'(
While I agree that the 2080S was a disappointing refresh of the 2080 compared to the 2070S in particular, it was a pleasant arrival for me as I did my 3900X build this summer. I paid 2080 prices for a (moderately) faster card (2080 prices only started to consistently drop around here a few months later) and OCed it further (that new VRAM is underclocked in stock configuration and has tons of headroom to go further). It's in a nice sweetspot of performance for ultrawide 1440p monitors like my new one. Enough grunt to keep up with the monitor but without the 2080Ti's price.
Tat's what I stopped on, but there's literally only two places you can buy them in my country so I hope I can snatch one in a couple of months when I am ready to go with the build. I can tell my rig is struggling when even playing Fallen Jedi. Need more ram and a better processor, but the motherboard gotta be right first!
@@Bruno_AFK This is a problem I can't see being fixed until they earn some more money. NVIDIA can afford to hire many more people to develop their drivers - games are often shipped near-or-outright-broken in the graphics department and rely on GPU vendors to fix their shit. This is easier to do with more and better people, which costs money. It's really unfortunate but a basic consequence of their relative sizes I'm afraid. It's already incredible that AMD can successfully take on Intel, a company many times their size - but it is really stretching credibility that they could do the same with NVIDIA at the same time. One or the other, but not both I think. This will change once they start earning more income from their Ryzen and EPYC (especially this, the server market segment - big and reliable money therein).
Hey I love my Radeon VII. Best drunk eBay purchase I made this year. It would totally win the folding@home and simultaneously heating your room category
@@DeadNoob451 Absolutely, I joke but I am genuinely happy with the card. I did get a good deal on price 2nd hand + a discount code from Ebay so I understand some people might be less happy. And yeah the VRAM is overkill for gaming, more to these things than just FPS/$.

the best GPU of 2019 was released in 2017, the GTX 1080 ti
Hear, hear
True words...
There isn't a worthwhile upgrade available from that GPU yet.
A little manual overclock nets you 2080 Super level performance. Still rocking mine from when the card first launched.
Nihilim Obscuras I mean that’s how it works, and how it’s always worked. xx80 is always equal to the xx70 card of the next gen, don’t see why the same isn’t applicable to xx80 Ti cards either.
Was hoping Id see this comment. Nvidia will NEVER make a card like this again at that price.
They are going for $300-$400 around here

@@loganbogan9 that's pretty incredible, they must have had huge margins if they can do that. Sadly in Europe tech is so much more expensive.

As someone who does production work the Radeon VII was well worth the money. What’s disappointing is that they let it end so soon as we’ve been thinking of getting more for future projects as we scale. They’re so hard to find new.
I am currently using the rx 5700 xt and I am very pleased with it. While running GTAV at 1080p max graphics, it runs smoothly and peaks at 70~80 degrees Celsius.
It’s nice to see a mostly even sprinkle of AMD and NVIDIA in there. Good competition.
Thank you for not ignoring the Radeon VII and their handful of users

It was disappointing but now that I have it, it's doing it's job very well and I am still thinking about putting a liquid cooler on it, because I managed 2GHZ on the chip with just the normal cooler.

Watching this early 2021, this advise aged well. So glad I grabbed my card in a month before this video went out.
Enjoyable video, and I am DEEPLY relieved that I didn't buy a disappointment last night (when replacing my 2012 rig with a 2013 gpu...). Just a nitpick - manually set your focus for doing those long traversing shots across a range of products (eg. 4:25) so that the camera autofocus doesn't snap to each product suddenly (jarringly) during the smooth movement. I dunno if I used the right words tbh, I'm not a videographer and I'm barely able to hold a dSLR and know what the settings mean, but it was just something that popped out at me while watching.
3:27 Is when the list starts
5700 XT should've gotten an award for worst drivers
nah radeon vii
Truth. AMD needs a buttkick
Too many people complain about driver problems just based off of videos where specific reviewers had problems, I never had a problem since the day it came out (bought it that day too). The only problem I had was a random freezing of my system in Modern Warfare and computer crashes with specifically Continuum 2.0 shaders in Minecraft, all of which were resolved in the latest drivers. No I haven't had overheating, it's not loud, and it's the blower-style reference card with the sick dent. Sorry for the rant, I just don't like people hating this card for few problems that few people had.
I'm very happy to see some budget GPUs being optimized for 1080p settings at even High graphics. Especially with energy efficiency. I appreciate smaller builds now, with much smaller energy footprints. It saves power for other things, and I don't have to worry about random circuit breaker issues in winter (heaters cost a lot of energy). In this way I can get better quality monitors/TVs and play games clear with higher Hertz and still have clear image quality. I've been using a 1660 Ti (which isn't budget per se, but very energy efficient for the power) recently and it's nice being able to take my PC to a friend's house or otherwise with no fuss. I can even transfer it between rooms with little effort. I'm very excited for the mini-console style PC builds that might be possible in the future, so long as they still let me mod my build, we cool.
I'm actually impressed and pleased with my Radeon VII. The driver did take long enough to stabilize, but it works great. Good FPS and I plan to pair it with a Ryzen 3950X. I will say the Radeon VII does like power !! That GPU is not for a small PSU or a budget build.
Still love my Radeon VII. Nothing in its price touched/touches it in scientific compute workloads. 16GB of HBM2, for number crunching it is the best "consumer" card you could have bought in 2019. I understand this is "Gamers" Nexus but not all computers are "gaming" computers. There is a reason the new Mac Pro has basically the Radeon VII in it. It is a BEAST of a card for the price.
I mean they did a whole video reviewing workstation gpus and said the same thing but ok dude.
AMD won both best overall in CPU and GPU? 2019 was a crazy year.
I haven't had a desktop PC in nearly two decades. I'm glad I put together a Ryzen / RX 5700 XT build. Excellent performance at a great price point.

I guess I'll stick with my (pretty heavily) OCd 1070 TI until an affordable 4k capable card shows up! The 1070 TI is holding the line pretty well tbh ^^
I was choosing between 5700xt and 2070s, while I really wanted to pick up the 5700xt, cause on paper it's amazing value, so many people around that got one run into issues with the drivers. I eventually payed extra and grabbed the 2070s from EVGA. Once AMD sort their driver issues out and maybe make some 2080TI alternative I'll look into their products again.

@@corndog2369 I still bought AMD CPU last year so my part is done in supporting them for now. :) Glad to hear it! If I had tight budget I would still pick 5700xt as a no brainer, basically there is no alternative price wise.
@@TheEtherea oh yeah absolutely, the 2070s is an amazing card, the main reason I didn't go 2070 super was how bad Australias pricing was at the time

@@corndog2369 Ugh, that is ridiculous pricing. Shocking to say the least.
UV Yeah, the 2070 Super is your better and only choice for great visual quality streaming at the 400 to 500 dollars price point without compromising performance. AMD sucks hard for streaming
I just started calling the Supers either the GTS or the RTS
With how AMD gave Intel a firm wakeup call, it'd be interesting to see if they can pull off the same when it comes to Nvidia as well.
I agree with the whole video except maybe best budget card.
at 130$ I think the RX570 is still a smart buy.
The 1650 Super definitely beats out the rx580 by both price by a very minor margin, and performance/watt. However RX570s price and performance is still very tempting.
I guess maybe there should be two budget segments.
Maybe something like rx570 for "entry level" segment and 1650 super for the "budget" segment.
I cannot fully deny the 1650 supers award, but the RX570 is still so relevant.

I like the oscilloscope effects in the background. The content too.
Used 1080ti still wins in my heart.
I bought mine new 18+ months ago and am still in love with it. Someone please tell me how a 2080 Super could perform the same in games using 9.5GB+ of VRAM. I laugh at 2080 Super in 1080Ti!
Yeah, kind of. For a good price and with a decent amount of warranty: Yes, But judging by average prices on ebay (sold listings), it's more expensive than a 5700XT and comes with the few risks of buying used besides having less (or no) warranty. The 1080ti is better than the 5700XT, but not so much that I would just give out a general advice to buy the 1080ti over the 5700XT.
I've bought my old 980ti Hybrid, all of my RAM in the last 10 years and a 4790K, R7 1700, (plus mobos) and countless of hardware for family/friends used in recent years, but right now it's a weird time for used GPUs to be honest. Especially the 5700 series offers such great price/performance, that it's not easy to find good used deals for the older generations in that price and/or performance range.
For the
used,?
is funny how NOBODY of you big youtuber don't talk about the 1000 problems with drivers on navi, expecially if you want play old games.
I'd rather deal with Vega than Navi drivers.
I don't have any problems
Hopefully there's a manufacturer awards video. I'm thinking MSI needs an award for "Most Positive Response to Criticism" award.
They may not have retooled the offending GPU to achieve the better performance you were able to squeeze out of it... but they deserve some credit for their relatively quick attempt to fix the issues you pointed out, as well as flying some of their team over to actually listen to your criticisms in detail.
I went with a used Sapphire Nitro RX 580 8GB for 119.00. As much as I wanted to get a 5700, monitor restrictions (144hz doesn't have display port or HDMI 2) and a price point that just can't be argued with pushed me to get this card.
I wish you gave AMD a little more smack for putting artificial limitations on the non-XT card. Factually speaking yes that does make the 5700 a cute project card, but AMD deserves a little slap there.
Legend says Steve is still trying to get his breath back.

BilliusPillius yeah but only retards would buy the 590 you can get a good sapphire nitro + 580 for cheap that oc around same performance for way cheaper.
The rx 570 despite being years old is still the best budget gpu. The 1650s is 33% more expensive on average but only 25% more powerful and theres really not much reason to upgrade to anything between the rx 570 and 1660 ti because it takes until then to practically max 1080p60 and below that the rx 570 does perfectly well for the best price.
AFAIK Radeon VII's target group was not gamers but cNN programmers that could use its HUGE memory.
i bought the 5700 xt at launch and i love it so much :0 though it was mad buggy at launch
Obviously the best GPU should have been the Yeston rx 5700 xt waifu edition.
Correction, power input matters as much at the low end, or maybe even more. It's rather bizarre to say that budget buyers "don't care about a couple of watts". Budget gamers who also have to pay for their electricity SHOULD be worried about a 75 watt power difference. If you game for an average of 3 hours per day, thats roughly 10-30 euro difference in power cost per YEAR (depending on your electricity cost at 10~30 cent per kWh). If you plan on using the card for 2-3 years that can ramp up to quite a difference for a "budget user"
Yeah i think if 1-3€ per month is too much then maybe gaming should not be a priority and un-fucking your life would be more productive.

2080 Super and RTX Titan are also a disappointment, considering their prices and similarity to the cards below them (2070 Super and 2080Ti).
While I agree that the 2080S was a disappointing refresh of the 2080 compared to the 2070S in particular, it was a pleasant arrival for me as I did my 3900X build this summer. I paid 2080 prices for a (moderately) faster card (2080 prices only started to consistently drop around here a few months later) and OCed it further (that new VRAM is underclocked in stock configuration and has tons of headroom to go further). It's in a nice sweetspot of performance for ultrawide 1440p monitors like my new one. Enough grunt to keep up with the monitor but without the 2080Ti's price.

I really hope AMD drop a bomb to NVIDIA like what they did to Intel recently.
I hope they will repair the drivers after 4 years of the same problem
@@Bruno_AFK This is a problem I can't see being fixed until they earn some more money. NVIDIA can afford to hire many more people to develop their drivers - games are often shipped near-or-outright-broken in the graphics department and rely on GPU vendors to fix their shit. This is easier to do with more and better people, which costs money.
It's really unfortunate but a basic consequence of their relative sizes I'm afraid.
It's already incredible that AMD can successfully take on Intel, a company many times their size - but it is really stretching credibility that they could do the same with NVIDIA at the same time. One or the other, but not both I think.
This will change once they start earning more income from their Ryzen and EPYC (especially this, the server market segment - big and reliable money therein).
Why?

Shoutouts to the RTX 2080! Solid card so far for me.
Hey I love my Radeon VII. Best drunk eBay purchase I made this year. It would totally win the folding@home and simultaneously heating your room category
Well at least you got one of the best Vram setups available right now. Ultra texture settings for the next few years is not that bad.
@@DeadNoob451 Absolutely, I joke but I am genuinely happy with the card. I did get a good deal on price 2nd hand + a discount code from Ebay so I understand some people might be less happy. And yeah the VRAM is overkill for gaming, more to these things than just FPS/$.
"AMD will launch some Navi cards, at some point in... Well, at some point in the future"
HAJAHAHAHA
