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.

And of course the NVidia stingy VRAM™ negative, which hampered the GPU already in some raytracing titles where the cache flew over so much that the Radeon was comfortably ahead (well, as comfortable as you can be with sub-30 FPS) and soon AAA titles will overfill that with raster alone. So unless it's only used as a stopgap I'd rather choose the Radeon.
