That's the cost of innovation. If things start moving quickly, it doesn't take long for new hardware to become obsolete.

I'm not saying that your RX 5700 will become a bad graphics card anytime soon. It's just that if AMD actually starts to properly compete with Nvidia, the price/performance ratio of new cards will start to get a lot better.

For reference, consider AMD's 4-core i7-7700K and Intel's 6-core i7-8700K. Released within a year of each other, and the i7-8700k released at basically the same price with higher clock and 50% more cores.

I want AMD to start pushing Nvidia Ryzen style, but that will force more frequent GPU upgrades.

RT AMD cards will not cost as little as a 5700, Expect easily double.

Same here! But i dont mind really..It will be long until we start seeing (if any)heavy price drops(bear in mind that graphics ram prices are going to be higher in 2020 - https://www.dramexchange.com/WeeklyR...st/2/9493.html )
And also if you keep waiting for the next best model...there will always be a new model coming out...and another one...
