Again, you completely miss the point being made. Or you just choose to selectively ignore posts. Its not about bashing AMD here, its about realizing the sacrifices required for RT/Tensor on a die, as opposed to not doing so, and how die size translates into performance. Price is artificial, the market decides. Larger die size however directly increases cost, reduces yields, and therefore eats into margins. In that respect, RX Vega has a major problem, and so does Turing with RT/Tensor included. They are big dies that perform less good than one would expect given the size (and risk!) involved into making one.
Cause and effect -> Nvidia's large dies cause major price hikes, and AMDs large dies eat straight into their margins because performance was lacking.
Also, saying a Vega 64 is 'hands down' better than a 1080... I'm not sure what you've been smoking lately, but ehhhh... Its louder and it has less performance at a higher TDP in virtually every single situation you can put it in. Vega 64 with all tweaks it can have will still not surpass a 1080 that runs at 1900 mhz. And the 1080's can go higher still.
