We need to have a good laugh, you guys got sandbagged by amd :)

Overall I'm slightly surprised about the 6900 performance but I'm waiting for independant benchmarks to confirm. Their wording sounded a bit iffy when they talked about "best API".

What I really want to see is 3080 benchmarks on Ryzen.

I hope AMD wasn't stupid enough to use an Intel/Nvidia setup against an AMD/Radeon setup in their slides.

From first glance I'd probably get a 6800 XT over a 3080 and definitley a 6900 XT over a 3090.

3070 vs the 6800 I'm not as sure.

AMD are certainly looking competitive it's just a question of ray tracing performance and tech like DLSS that leaves a question mark for me. They said they had a DLSS type feature in the works but who knows how good it'll be or how long it'll take to release and get support.

I'll wait until final reviews are out before saying that definitively as they showed stuff like this with Vega 7. Also if they had the RT performance you were claiming, they would have shown Ray Tracing games or given us a hint for their RT performance.

For pure Raster though... That you do!

The RX 6800 (non XT) is a bit too expensive compared to the 3070. But I guess the availability is king right now, and it beats the 3070 by a fair bit.

^^ I think that's the main point, they could charge even higher for these cards since the 3000 series is MoA during the holidays. So why not cash it in I guess.

Truth be told, I did expect the "maybe they aren't comparing the 3080 to their flagship" to be nothing more than optimistic banter (although I suspected it could be feasible when the boost clock rumors appeared), but here we are.

My prediction was pretty much on point. I was talking about the 6800XT and not the XTX which turned out to be the 6900XT.

But I'll give you that I was way off with the price. Much less competitive than I thought.

I notice the 6900xt chart mention RAGE and smart access so I wonder how the charts will look if you not running it on a Ryzen 5000 series cpu. The 6800 don't mention that so not sure if those was enabled on that.

Either way if independent benchmarks matches those charts I am impressed. This generation I probably sticking to NVidia still but it bold well for me getting a amd gpu sometime in the future. It does look like soon you can build a AMD cpu and gpu high end gaming computer and for it to actually be a good build assuming the independent benchmark confirm what we see today.

Yep, we need to w8 for some games. Watch dogs legion, the new call of duty and maybe spiderman: remastered at performance mode will give us an clue of the RTX performance. I have PS5 15-20% rtx performance above Geforce 2080 ti.
