  Why do that when others do it for them?

  And Vega was Fiji recycled with a smaller node and somewhat upgraded VRAM. As I recall, the IPC of both was basically identical.

  So, no competitor for Gforce 1660 then?

  These cards are dead on arrival at these prices. AMD just doesn't have the kind of brand recognition that nvidia does these days. These cards aren't cheap enough that anyone is going to go with AMD again.

  and how cheap should they be ?? my guess.. they would never be cheap enough... so far.. a know a few people that are interested in these cards.. and are waiting till next month to see how they perform.. why ?? cause nvidia priced them out of the market...

  Nvidia RTX were overpriced due to lack of competition at the time of their launch. Performance per dollar no better than the 3 year old GTX 1000s. AMD finally release their new gen and their prices do not significantly undercut Nvidia RTX, especially considering the lack of hardware ray tracing. This is disappointing to see as a consumer. We expected to see AMD drive the GPU performance per dollar upwards in the ways they have done to CPU.

  Hixbot, and what if amd did have ray tracing, was just as slow as turing, had the same features, but was priced less then what nvidia charges ?? then what? would those that are harping on amd now, still be harping on them ?? of course.. but now they would be complaining that amd had a year more development time for ray tracing, and the performance is still the same ?? lets face it.. ray tracing isnt really viable performance wise unless you are using a 2080 or higher.. the hit is just to great to make it usable... most of the people i know.. dont care about ray tracing right now.. its adds to much to the cost, and is barely used... none of them even asked if navi had ray tracing... again.. cause with nvidia's pricing, they are priced out of the ray tracing market
