At 4K. I'd be interested to see 8K performance.
3090 isn't really built for 4K gaming. It's mostly a workstation card that they're marketing for 8k gaming because it has so much VRAM
nah i think the 3080 is just fine
3090 on the other hand is literally a waste for the gaming market
It makes sense when everything gets sold out anyway.
You either give Nvidia or AMD an arm and a leg or you get their stone-age tech.
How many of the games in AMD's graphs actually support DLSS? Some people act like every game has that.
Pretty much in line with my predictions. Expected the 6800 to be $499 though. called $1k on the 6900xt.
Probably picking up a 6800xt.

Very interested in the 6800xt. If it beats the 3070 and has twice as much vram...yeah it's exciting.
Need to hear about RT performance though

Yeah. I think I'll still try to get a 3070. The price in Canada will probably be stupid high too. :(
Nothing too surprising stuff overall. Good prices and performance. Lack of Ray Tracing performance was a bit disappointing, but they are clearly not up on Nvidia levels. Rumors and leaks so far suggest above 2080 Ti performance. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Presentation was no more than solid imo.

No it doesn't, this the same kind of concern trolling rife around here.
Half the PSU required? What? The 3070 has a TDP of 225 watts and the 6800 has board power of 250. It's actually more power hungry than the 3070. I'm of course excluding overclocks, because both cards are going to be batshit if you push to the edge.
Did they say anything else about RT other than "it supports it"? The liveblog I'm following makes it seem like they did not.
No word on Ray Tracing and that 6900 XT vs 3090 comparison had a +RAGE Mode +Smart Performance asterisk, but I'm glad Nvidia has competition again.
They showed no RT performance figures and they're missing DLSS.
To be fair, the 3090's performance is almost the same of the 3080 and the 6800XT as well.
Outside of the 6900 potentially making the 3090 null and void, that sure was a nothingburger. Will wait for benchmarks on these cards before issuing a purchasing decision, but I suspect I'm going to be sticking with team Green for my graphics.
Yeah, if anything this has strenghtened my belief that I should wait for 3080s to become available. If the 6800 was 500€, that would have been interesting.
Wow, really happy I never got a hold of an 3080 now. All that at that wattage as well... I think I am going back to AMD for the first time since three cards back
Yeah. I am not sure I will risk potential driver issues and whatever their dlss implementation for a higher priced card. The extra ram is a nice touch, though.
Nvidia made the 3090 far more expensive than it reasonably should be.
I have to see Canada prices once (if) they are available to see the comparisons. Also of course non-hand picked benchmarks, but it is nice to see in theory some competition.
It's 8 more CUs. The 3090 is a fucking joke in comparison at $1500 so I'm not sure what your point is
If RT performance is adequate and they can get stock out there, then I think AMD has a winner on their hands.
Well, that 6900 price certainly makes the 3090 look even more stupid expensive. Not that I'm in the market for anything that high regardless.
Hot damn, in for the 6900XT assuming I can get one at launch. 3090 performance for $500 cheaper is incredible.
Disappointed. All cards costing over $500 doesn't sound like "having something for all budgets" to me. Looks like getting a console is the only way to experience next-gen for those on a tight budget.
The term "concern trolling" is losing all meaning, when any valid concern is called that regardless of context. How is it trolling? You know what trolling is, right?
6800 XT looks the best of the stack but I'm still worried after the 5700 XT launch which was a month of driver bugs, game crashes and OS lockups before I finally gave up and sold it for a 2070. I know they eventually fixed up the drivers a couple months in but I don't wanna go thru that again.
I'm gonna wait it out and see how the driver situation is before I even think about buying.

Yup. Benchmarks will look great until DLSS is switched on. But, in games that don't support RT or DLSS, AMD looks compelling.
