Best GPU year coming???

I wouldn't be worried about anything coming out that will change the gpu landscape drastically. Nvidia are not even releasing the mid and low range 20 series cards until Q2. So I wouldn't expect 30 series until late 2020, unless pushed by competition....
.... But well really just see price reductions.
AMD unless they are being un AMD like, and have something up there sleeve to drop.... That no one has heard about
, unlikely. So we'll be looking 2020 for them and I would expect 2080 performance at Turings end of life cycle. Hope I'm wrong.
Now Intel. Don't anyone be surprised if intel upcoming GPUs are based on amd architectures, possibly a graphics partnership. I Think this is the wild card to watch out for.
honestly the intel upcoming gpu is probably going to be meh... it will be focused not on AMD tech (they couldn't due to patent issues... it has to be done from ground up) ... the only part where I see intel able to do anything is if they can get a license for adreno from qualcomm (not sure what the court order was...)
intel will most likely come out with something from larrabee idea (it did graphics radically different than either nvidia,AMD, forgot the company that does Apple gpu's, and adreno) and the focus will most likely be the data center
graphics... to be honest I think we might be stuck - I see ps5 or new xbox for the first time in a long while the consoles will be ahead of consumer graphics in terms of fidelity (for AAA games.. sorry but that is how it looks to be unless you count 2080 ti maybe.. and not raytracing.. sorry but raytracing is a gimmick for another 5 years unless nvidia redesigns their entire framework of CUDA cores which can't do raytracing natively)
with the consoles coming out and GloFo leaving the race to the bottom of the node it leaves basically tsmc... (maybe samsung? but their focus is lpp which is really only good for mobile devices....)
will tsmc be able to handle 7nm for phones, consoles, gpus, cpus all at the same time??
yea, for the desktop side of things IDK if we will have truly gamer cards and they may be iteratives of either console but larger (which I think navi is going to be..) or we will see iteratives of production cards (quadros, firepro (vega is basically firepro))
for now... with only 1 fab player I will put out if the consoles come out this fall or early spring we won't see any new graphics cards (honestly nvidia i think is launching RTX which is just volta to consumers bcuz they spent all their R&D on it and don't have anything else at moment like AMD did with VEGA - polaris was supposed to be competitive for 900 series and be considered mid range against pascal but they lost any traction due to mining craze)
also for anyone concerned about koduri leaving being the end for AMD.... Koduri wasn't around for the 7000 series which is probably the last gaming cards to come out other than polaris for high range... if AMD gets enough server orders we may see something in the future

.... But well really just see price reductions.
