I think we all deserved a fair price considering how long we have waited. I'm holding for 2-4 more weeks
As for me I'm waiting until Nvidia's 40 series release because at this point why wouldn't you?
Here are more:

I'm thinking perhaps the DLSS is more of a gamer changer for longevity.

That said, with ray tracing off I believe 6800 xt will trade blows with a 3080 TI. If want to use ray tracing however Nvidia is just about the only viable option for most games at the moment.

a) This could be just a repeat of FreeSync (open) vs GSync (closed)
b) My understanding is that FSR 2.0 is inferior to DLSS
The idea that it will be more implemented due to console hasn't shown to be true several times. We saw this with 8-core CPU for instance. We thought we would get better optimized games for AMD GPUs due to consoles, but that hasn't borne out either.
I wish it was true, because I do want to support the underdog. However, I'm just not seeing it.
I'm old enough to remember Atari dumping thousands of brand-new ET cartridges in a landfill in Utah because they didn't want to devalue the product by selling them for pennies on the dollar (yes, the game was historically crappy, but the sole reason for dumping the games was economic, not market perception).
AMD/Nvidia would sooner write off the cards as a loss and dump them somewhere before they'll sell them for pennies on the dollar. Especially in the U.S., the "normal" structure of supply and demand will be manipulated to ensure that, somehow, corporations come out the other side fairly unscathed.
In the specific case of the $650 MSRP 6800 XT, I think $100 under MSRP is going to be the sweet spot ($549). It might even very briefly go $50 lower than that ($499). It might not. But I think people expecting true "fire sales" on this generation of cards may not be old enough/experienced enough to understand just how many tax/accounting safeguards are in place to protect corporations, over consumers.
To me, $10 off or even $50 off will be no skin of their noses. You'd think Intel would want to release their ARC cards now to take advantage of no real 'low-cost / decent' GPUs in the market now.
After years of potentially paying over MSRP, you want me to buy? Make me a REALLY GOOD deal! I want all them to feel the pain the individual consumers had to endure these past few years...
