RX 6800 series launches...

... And honestly I'm not impressed. Sure they keep up and even beat nVidia, but what's the point if the 3070 is beaten by the 6800 if the 3070 costs $500 and the 6800 $580? Techspot doesn't have the 6800 on their chart yet, but other reviews show it is slightly better than the 3070, but significantly more expensive. Plus heck, if you're already paying $650 for a 6800XT, what's the incentive for the >75% of the userbase which is nVidia to switch to AMD, especially when you figure lower ray tracing performance, no DLSS or other nVidia exclusive feature support, and, especially, the driver track record?

Looks like another year or two where AMD's and nVidia's bank books win, and we all lose...
