Gamers Nexus are currently running a Twitter Poll.

After reviews, which GPU would you purchase?

RTX 3080   = 50.9%
RX6800XT  = 23.7%
RTX3070    = 18.8%
RX6800      = 6.6%

The poll is still open so you can vote.

Easy, none of the above, nor would I recommend any of the above, they're way too expensive compared to what they should be.

The GTX 3060 Ti and RX 6700 are a different story...Still ungodly expensive at $400+ for ENTRY LEVEL CARDS, but at least they should be the first ones to drop into reasonable territory once nVidia switches to TSMC and AMD is made to pricematch down...

Still hoping Intel brings their A game and forces competition again instead of collusion...

Gamers Nexux do offer the option to comment if you believe none of the above is the choice and feedback you want to give.

The costs for all GPUs are high now.

I think AMD RX6800XT GPU has come leaps and bounds versus RX5700XT.
Use of Infinity cache is clever way to get good performance only using GDDR6.
Overall rasterization performance seems more rounded and better than RTX3080 overall at 1080p and 2K but still losing at 4K.

AIB cards should improve RX6800XT performance further, perhaps with use of better coolers and more power slider to the right, possibly up to +20%

If just for gaming and AMD keep working to improve drivers then RX6800XT seems a good choice.

However productivity and compute seems way behind.
Blender needs effort from AMD to get these RX6800XT performance improved. 
OpenCL Compute not working correctly on Luxmark.
Still behind on Ray Tracing.
No AI based features such as DLSS, and Nvidia GeForce Experience AI features.

Final Gamers Nexus Poll Result: 


RTX3080    = 49.8%
RX6800XT = 24.7%
RTX3070 = 18.9%
RX6800   = 6.5%

So even after all of the rasterised performance improvement in RX6800XT and 6800 
Gamers Nexus Po;ll says: 

68.7% of people would still buy Nvidia. 
vs
31.2% AMD. 

I close this question now.
