AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT LC with Navi 21 XTXH GPU has been tested

The performance increase compared to a 6900XT is impressive and the main thing that increases is the memory bandwidth. If the 6900XT had a similar bandwidth to a 3090, I am sure RDNA 2 would have taken that crown, least in Raster. But for now, if you got money to spend, Nvidia continues to give you the most amount of features.

We don't know the price of this as I believe it's OEM only for now. But we know it's going to be more expensive than a standard 6900XT and at that point... May as well get a 3090!

That bolded part is either pretty dishonest or not well enough researched.

Bandwidth rose by 15%, that's true... but the game clock also rose by 12%, though in practice the difference is lower in the benchmarks as the boost clock didn't rise as much (only 5%) and the power limit for the GPU itself rose by 11% while the TDP of the entire card went from 300W to 350W. Performance in general went up by 5-10% depending on the game.

So pinning it all on the bandwidth feels pretty shady, as if you wanted to find a proof that AMD would  have been better had they chosen GDDR6X like NVidia. It did have an effect, but much smaller than you insinuated.

I said the main thing and didn't say the only thing... You should re-read the sentences before you reply to them. You also need to chill on your accusations.
