I've checked the prices and it seems a XFX branded Radeon VII with 16GB RAM can be had for similar price as Nvidia RTX 2070 super with 8GB. This is very interesting.
I hope someone publishes benchmarks comparing those cards in training most frequently used network architectures. I would be heading to buy one of those Radeon cards myself if not for their lack of performance with conv networks.
Also, current version of Nvidia RTX cards with tensorflow supports automatic mixed precision training which can significantly speed up training of some networks.
I think we're still quite far from having a serious competitor to nvidia in general purpose machine learning.

I just did a haphazard, not very scientific, but ballpark-useful comparison: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21666411 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21666411
