That's the thing, i honestly don't see this card actually beating the 2080. It's going to use more power, put more heat into your case (and subsequently into your room) and give 5-10% less performance in most games. Barring the few outliers where GCN has historically done really well in, obviously. 16GB is nice to have but not an absolute deal breaker on the 2080 only having 8. Oh and the 2080 also gives you RTX.
I am being harsh on the VII but I honestly don't see the value. I am almost certain they will sell out with just this few cards, because there's AT LEAST that many enthusiasts who only need it to be the fastest Radeon on the planet to have an excuse to buy it (Like me, if i wasn't broke xD)
Actually, since i swapped out my FX 8320 @ 4.8Ghz for a Ryzen 7 2700x i need to have something to heat up my working room again. It's getting pretty cold now lol when playing games here.
