6800 XT/6800 reviews are out.
From what I can tell, based on the view you watch as it's dependent on the game.
1080p, 6800 XT > 3080
1440p, 6800 XT trades blows with 3080
4k, 3080 > 6800 XT
RT, 3070 = 6800 XT

I found it's more like this:

1080p, 6800 XT > 3090
1440p, 6800 XT > 3080
4k, 3080 > 6800 XT
RT, 3070 = 6800 XT

So, this makes it clear for me: My next card is gonna be a 6800XT. Since pretty much no game that interests me is using Raytracing anyway, that drawback becomes non-existant for myself. And since I'll play in 1440p, I'll have a more powerful card for a cheaper price with more VRAM, which could make the card last longer (I only upgrade every 3 years or so).

Every review I watched shows 6800 XT being within margin of 3080 at 1440p. Some show 3080 > 6800 XT at 1440p while some others have 6800 XT > 3080 but a lot of the reviews conclude it's within Margin.

But yea, if RT doesn't matter to you, you play at 1440p, you care about Vram capacity but not bandwidth even though 1440p won't be pushing 10GBs which makes the capacity irreverent and you don't care about DLSS and you have faith in AMD to deliver drivers, then yea, 6800 XT is the way to go for $50 less.

Always find that one funny.

For years, I had no problems at all with AMD GPUs. Then I changed to NVidia and all (Driver-)hell broke loose. Pascal was beyond broken for me, it took me 7 patches to get the GPU stable, and with older games which still use 4:3 resolution NVidia just doesn't want to play along to this day.

So yeah, I have way more faith in AMD drivers than in NVidia drivers considering how those trashed my system.
