Downsides are that you don't get the Nvidia suite of software. AMD's software has come a long way but it's still lacking. I updated my drivers about 2 months ago and it installed some random branch of their pro drivers like ??? Had to DDU my way back to the latest ones. FSR 4 fights me every game I want it enabled in like Cyberpunk, you're not able to use it unless you download 3rd party software.
These issues really don't bother me as someone who tinkers for fun, but the average user should look to team green imo.
Do you know when is the super cards is going to be out?
i suspect this is true, just feels like the market has been just soft enough (that's not to say soft) that nVidia would want to hold off until after the holiday season
CES is January 6-9, I bet they announce then.

Anywhere between mid October to early next year.
The super cards will have a lot more ram, so these won't cost as much.
My 3090 is only 35.6 TFLOPs and I am starting to feel it without upscaling tech. Definitely considering upgrading to something less power hungry with more performance.
I could tell this was coming when the scalpers on marketplace had cards listed that would not move for weeks.
Anyways for this price it's a good deal. I bought the 5070ti because I had 2 cards I bought at the same time. A 9070xt for $780 or a 5070ti for $829. The 5070ti was closer to its starting MSRP of $750. I didn't want to spend almost $200 more than MSRP for the AMD so $80 over for the Nvidia was not as bad.
Now if I had the chance to buy at this price I would have went AMD for sure. Each company make their cards on the same tier level to basically have the same performance. Some games work better with one some better with another. It's all a gimmick. That is why all the extra bells and whistles with the Nvidia give them an edge.
Past that I look to see which runs the coolest and has dual bios. For all the release drama for the RTX 5xxx cards, even the entry level reference cards are OC beasts. If the super cards are not scalped I might upgrade if the OC as well as these do.

Note also that you can get 90% of max performance at 200 watts instead of the full 304 watts.
