I'm pretty stoked about what is happening on the CPU front, so if I upgrade in the next year or so, there is a pretty good chance I'll switch over to AMD. But what about GPUs, are these new models going to be competitive with Nvidia on both price and performance?
Perhaps just pure speculation at this point, but from an article I read yesterday, it was claimed/guesstimated that Navi 3080 (they thought they'd try a 3000 naming scheme, in line with the CPUs) would aim to compete with GTX 2070.
The above post is a little deflating on this point, but do you guys reckon these toys will be reasonably affordable? Normally I wouldn't want to spend more than roughly the equivalent of 250-300 USD for a GPU (and prices in Norway are presumably higher than the same products in the US and UK). Currently I have a GTX 770. It's still fine really, but obviously a bit dated if I were to run the newest games.

That's what AMD claims, and we'll need to wait until later in June or actual July to see public benchmarks. I hope AMD will live up to expectations, we need stronger competitive options.
I suppose they'll give different price options from regular mid range, to higher end, varying them by performance. I doubt they'll go over Nvidia's prices since they want to remain attractive for those who would prefer them over GTX 2070.
I'd start with evaluating what resolution and framerate you are aiming at, and decide what GPU to buy based on that (because those are the primary factors), considering also how demanding are the games you are playing.
For example, I got Sapphire Pulse Vega 56 to run The Witcher 3 at ≥ 60 fps with 1920x1200 in Wine+dxvk. Vega 56 handles that, while for example Polaris cards already are too underpowered for the task. Going to something higher like 2560x1440 and ≥ 80 fps already requires something more powerful, so Navi can come handy, since I want to get a better monitor (with Freesync support).
In my case I decided that since I am not upgrading my monitor any time soon, I went for a nitro rx570, because here taxes are really high and monitors can be twice expensive than in the US, other things that are smaller I can purchase them on ebay or amazon, but monitors no, they charge ridiculously high shipping and handling + customs taxes.
I'm satisfied with it, it's ok for 1080p, some games I don't mind playing on medium settings. (it can do 60fps stable on Witcher 3 at medium settings) It can beat most of other brands rx480 and some rx580, shappire really shines on AMD.

What's this is all about is who has the fastest card in the world, for a very short period polaris was the fastest, but Nvidia quickly counterattacked . Navi gen 2 could become the fastest, I have hopes that this time NVIDIA will not respond that timely.
