Well my Timespy result is exactly the same as my cooworker who just built a pc with ryzen 2600 and gtx 1060... so that's that

You should check the CPU score not total score I had 5820K @ 4,5Ghz which has same ipc as first gen Ryzen, no way 2500K will have any changes against 6 core / 12 thread ryzen, unless its some shit engine that uses only 4 threads.
Ryzen 5 2600 normal score with good ram is over 6K CPU score, while 2500K @ 4,5Ghz is something like 3K (ish) when overclocked 4.5Ghz, so totally the same score .
My CPU bottlenecking seems directly related to the amount of draw calls. Reshade has a Statistics tab that shows the draw calls while playing games.
Around 6000 draw calls it starts to drop from 75fps, then above ~8600 draw calls it gets bad and drops below 50fps.
Futuremark CPU Score is indeed very useless as an indicator for how well your CPU will fare in games.
Of course the 2500K (somehow I thought it was a 2600K in my post above) will have an extremely low score in that benchmark with only 4 threads.
It still has similar IPC to AMD 1x00 gen. if OCed to 4.5Ghz. I upgraded from a 3570K@4.5Ghz (which is quite similar to the 2500K) to a 1700X@3.9Ghz and noticed practically no improvement on single threads. Now there are other benefits of having this many and more efficient threads at your disposal, so it would still be a significant upgrade.

Not going to happen, nvidia is not that dumb to sell 2080ti without RTX features for lower price. This price hiking they are doing, next Ti costs like 2000 euros, seems that there is no ceiling for their pricing, people just pays what they ask. Would be hot seller tho if they would make one for the normal TI price what it was before, but then they would need cut RTX 2080 price, since that took 1080Ti pricing...
This crap with high prices seems to be a universal phenomenon, just look at smartphones, electric cars, high end gaming monitors, the housing market... I wonder what's the science behind it. There must be enough people in the world now that will pay these prices so the corporations or whatever can afford catering to the upper 20% or so and ignoring the rest.
Gamers Nexus is somehow the most watchable of all these channels.
I think its the hair.

With all the dominance NVIDIA is still in hopeless situation. The stocks are going down and regardless of their performances top RTX cards are not selling well. In addition to that no studio is gonna pay royalty licenses to Ray Tracing bullshit considering that less than 5% of Steam gamers can actually use it.
Not only most users can't use it, most users that DO have RTX won't use it due to the performance crippling result of using it.
I sometimes wonder who the hell leads these mega corporations for them to make such idiotic decisions? They must have felt that their position allowed them to strong-arm everyone, forcing them to swallow their crap. With the mining craze having left tons of gamers in the cold with no affordable option, they probably thought "hey, let's make use of this situation and sell expensive cards now that people grew accustomed to high prices anyway!". As if people suddenly can afford €1000 for a graphics card when the rest of a system doesn't even cost that much (or even half that if you go budget) combined.

Meh... The 1070 was on sale for below 300€ a few times these last weeks, at least in Germany. It was the better choice.

Yeah, not worth it as long as you can get an equally fast 1070 with 8gb VRAM in a sale for same price or cheaper. The 1660Ti will only become interesting when it's cheaper (<250€) and/or the 1070 reserves finally run out.
Let’s see if these clickbaiters .. uhh i mean reviewers will check the dlss update in metro exodus. According to most people its no longer blurry, offers almost same sharpness as native while better perf.
