I think it's exactly what they need to do. Offer 2080 performance at 599 but witout RTRT features. Not that anyone expected them to create a new architecture designed for DXR specifically, they'd never do that at this point.It would take a large chunk of their budget and in an e-peen war they'd lose to nvidia. AMD does not need to respond to nvidia, let them do the test run for a generation. Bad news is,if the technology "breaks" with time, AMD will be even further on the back foot in the enthusiast segment than they are now.

Absolutely, this is what I was hoping for since the very moment some idiot called Huang shouted TEN GIGA RAYS from a stage.

AMD has a golden catch up opportunity here, and Nvidia knows this, and allows it, so they won't monopolize the market with all the drawbacks that has.

But, at 599? That still doesn't get us anywhere, that's barely any less than 1080ti has been. We're going to be 3-4 years down the road you know, when this supposed GPU launches... Make that 399 and we can talk...

You think they're gonna be selling their professionally oriented Vega cards on a 7nm node to gamers at 499 ?

Vega? What? Navi is the next consumer GPU. Vega is not a gaming GPU. Its not even mentioned in the article.

I don't think that's gonna happen ... nVidia guards against the catch-up by letting the Ti sit on the shelf till the catch up attempt. The fact that they didn't ... seems to imply that there's nothing in the pipeline to worry about.

Oh no, not in 2019 I know that, best bet for this catching up is the first Navi refresh...

Which should give you an idea of Nvidia's next move too. I'm getting the impression this 1080 will keep its value for quite some time.
