To be fair, Radeon VII was never meant to compete against 2080ti, which costs nearly double of the VII. If you've got the money, go for the ti, otherwise, make a decision on what's most important to you, not what an Nvidia or AMD fan tells you to buy.Korguz - Tuesday, June 11, 2019 - link
keep in mind... and as i mentioned in a previous post... there very well could be a rx 5800/5900 series, and a rx 5600 series still to come...nils_ - Tuesday, June 11, 2019 - link
Money really isn't the object here. It probably makes more sense to go full AMD just to not further support NVidia and their Linux asinine driver policy. I presume one could use two of these in Crossfire mode.Xyler94 - Tuesday, June 18, 2019 - link
Do keep in mind that the VII has 16GB of 1TB/s HBM2 memory on-board, which will be a huge boon in certain workloads if you're targeting professional workloads. The 2080ti tops out at 11GB of GDDR6 memory, which is half the bandwidth... I think.BenSkywalker - Tuesday, June 11, 2019 - link
Latest Ubuntu build has the nVidia binary drivers included, pretty easy to use(although they don't install by default). Also, nVidia binary drivers, at least for gaming, are significantly faster then their AMD counterparts.nils_ - Tuesday, June 11, 2019 - link
I run a vanilla kernel, usually the most current stable version, that always causes troubles with out of tree drivers. I don't play games under Linux.dr.denton - Wednesday, June 12, 2019 - link
Navi 10 is a relatively small mid-range chip, it was never intended to take on 2080/ti. That will come in 2020 with the next iteration of Navi.eva02langley - Thursday, June 13, 2019 - link
ROFL... mid-range... almost matching high-end competition... blind fanboyism at its best.yhselp - Tuesday, June 11, 2019 - link
