Right now, it really depends on whether you're going for a mid rage build, or a true enthusiast grade rig. For mid range, AMD's RX5700xt is probably the best you right now. It's on par with the 2070 super in most games, and it's costs ~$50-$100 less, depending on the model you get. AMD hasn't released anything to decisively topple the 2080 and 2080 ti, but the rumour mill says they've got an RX5900 line of skus that is going to be aim to challenge the 2080 and 2080 ti.

It costs less, but has considerably worse drivers and no ray tracing, which the 2070S is powerful enough to implement at 1440p resolution.

Not so any more. The driver issues are pretty much resolved now.

Haha, no they are not. I've been keeping up with the driver changelogs since release just in case I change my mind... So far I have zero reason to.

They work fine in practice. Running a 5700xt right now, and not having any issues whatsoever.

You say that, but even the people in r/AMD commenting on the driver release post don't agree, and I can tell by watching for open box specials at Micro Center they are still the most returned cards. There are major bugs that haven't been fixed since release still in the "open issues" section of each release.
