AMD's rather old Radeon VII can really smash a 2080 Ti if you're doing relatively simple streaming computation, like say video processing. That 1TB/s HBM is no joke, and there's 16GB of it, at ~half the price of the 2080 Ti with 11GB.

Nvidia's memory compression is very impressive and allows them to do better with a narrower memory bus in many situations (such as games), however if your data is not so compressible (often the case in GPGPU) this advantage disappears.

Really all I care about is a good OpenCL driver implementation, especially OpenCL 2.2 support would be extremely attractive.
