3080 vs 6800XT 2023 revisit

6800XT at 1440p is 2% slower than 3080 in Raster only
6800XT at 4k is 6% slower than 3080 in Raster only

But the key thing is that 3080s are not only getting hard to find, the ones that you can find are well above MSRP. While the 6800XTs can be found for $500 USD. So while 3080 is faster in Raster and faster in Ray Tracing and DLSS is leagues better than FSR, the price gap is hard to justify.

Besides the price gap, you also have the new, Nvidia invented negative, the fact that they've locked the latest DLSS/fake frames behind the 4000 series, meaning the 3000 series has one less DLSS, but still a high price to pay for one.

See this doesn't create a good look later on, when you invent slightly new tech that stems from already existing and in use tech, then leave the prev card out in the cold.

Imagine AMD making FSR, then by FSR 3.0, they leave their last gen card behind, it wouldn't be a good look.

Well I wouldn't count the chickens before they hatch just yet as AMD hasn't said whether or not FSR 3 will be coming to their previous gen gpus. They said they are trying to make it happen but hasn't actually said if it will or what issues it will have if it does. Plus considering DLSS 2 is better to significantly better than FSR 2 in every area and AMD doesn't have an alternative to Reflex to take the latency down without reducing image quality, even if FSR 3 is available on older GPUs, it could be something you may not want to use similar to how using FSR 2 at 1440p is horrid compared to using DLSS 2.

But yea, DLSS 3 not coming to Ampere/Turing is pretty lame but I think the reasoning behind it makes sense because while DLSS 3 does give you a framerate "boost," it comes at a big latency hit even on a 4090. So if Ampere/Turing isn't able to calculate the added frames fast enough or they don't look as good as they should, then it's basically pointless.
