It's speculative at this point.
I'd refrain from jumping to conclusions until actual measurements start coming out. Even after initial benchmarks, drivers and mining software could be better-optimized.
I'm not expecting a giant leap in mining performance either (certainly not enough to gamble on a pre-order), but I'm curious to see actual results.
yeah idk what the rush is, same with the ppl who all felt the need to jump on the fpga bandwagon early I'd refrain from jumping to conclusions until actual measurements start coming out. Even after initial benchmarks, drivers and mining software could be better-optimized.

instead of waiting till products were actually shipping.
I guess we never learn in this space lol
To be fair, pre-ordering a gpu with a relatively reliable resale and a warranty is a bit different than plonking down 3-5x the amount on a permanently custom modded, community supported piece of tech. Not saying there are no pros to the latter, of course, but pre-ordering something from Newegg is totally comfortable for me, whereas giving $4k to a stranger in untraceable currency is...well, riskier.
Prices in the USA are disproportionally cheap. Not fair...
Medical bills are insane in the USA IT EVENS OUT.
Haha you caught a cold and need to stay a night at the hospital?
Sorry bro, that's going to cost you dozens of RTX 2080 graphics cards.
