Perhaps not this year but the console and GPU cycle is over several years. Not sure if that was in response to me but surely a PC gamer who buys a console at launch this year may still end up upgrading their GPU next year depending on performance and the lure of shiny new toys?

^^Another cringeworthy video listening to Paul trying to chew his way through saliva whilst lazily mispronouncing most of the English language
This really made me chuckle

If you read the post literally, you will see the words in November which means shelling out in the same month not either product 'next year' following.
Ok, but my point still stands. Even if they aren't shelling out for both in November does it really matter if they will shell out for both eventually? It's not like a product with a 2+ year lifespan will succeed or fail in the first month.

No its highly likely people will accumulate tech - I got a PS4 a while back after picking up a vega. Now Im reading this statement Im not following what your angle is - I never said eventually? My post was directly after @Sargatanas2511 regarding NDA and consoles launching at the same time. My point being, the console mainstream buyers wont necessarily give a monkeys what the PC components are doing as they will be gaming flat out on their new toy. Its going to be a small portion of people that come November will buy both a PS5 AND a 3070 for example (that will be £1000+ spent). :S
It's exactly the same Interconnect as Vega nothing to do with Mcm i'm afraid.
Just wondering.
If RDNA2 is pretty much 3080 raster perf territory but worse than 2080ti raytracing perf, while also missing certain features like a DLSS equivalent but at 50-100 euros cheaper... will you guys still consider it a good option?

I don't consider DLSS(because it is not working with most games) or RT main features at this point, they are addons that could help sway my opinion if everything else was equal such as price and raster performance. So yes to your question if it puts RDNA 2 within my budget for a new GPU. By the time RT is big enough to care about (IMO) a new generation of graphics will either be on the doorstep or already here and the evaluation of best purchase will start all over again.

£100 cheaper, yes.

Always has been.
If it only matches a 3080 but suffered greatly with RT and doesn't have a dlss like solution then probably not a good option unless cheaper.
If it matches the 3080 and has RT performance that is the same as or better without having a dlss like solution for a little bit cheaper than it is an equally valid option

I'll buy one for 100 less if the VR performance is close and it has 16gb.
I currently have a 1070, and I'm fully open to switching back to AMD. Couldn't care less about them beating the 3090, or even the 3080 much. My budget is roughly 5-600USD, so a 3070 is on my radar currently, but I dislike the 8GB. So, for me, AMD "just" need to have more VRAM, similar rasterization performance, decent RT, good drivers, decent cooling - all for a similar price is fine, and then I'll likely have such an AMD card to go along with my 4700X. Failing that, I may just splurge for a 3080 and call it a day.

Depends how powerful the GPU is relative to the CPU and how CPU limited the game is in general. With a decent GPU, something like Civ6 is CPU limited at 4k for example.
Yes before, like it turns out a month or so - and why do you think is that? Maybe because two big buyers (Sony/Microsoft) who bankrolled RDNA did not want their consoles to be obsolete.
Just one console? Peasant

Or because it wasn't ready?

They are already obsolete.. think there will be another Xbox or playstation launch in early 2022.

It annoys me that they bring out refreshes of the consoles now. I'd have been super ****** off if I'd bought a regular ps4 when they released the pro.
