I don't agree. I think $80 is a pretty substantial price difference, especially when it doesn't gain you much if any performance. You could make the same argument about the 6800 vs 6800xt. Actually it's an even better argument as the gap between the 6800 & 6800xt seems quite a bit larger than the gap between the 3070 & 6800.
The 3070 is already running into problem with it 8 GBs of GDDR6 VRAM. I'm not saying that $80 is not a lot of money, I'm saying that if you're going for the 3070 - a $500 card - only to then play at 1080p, you are wasting you're money anway, since that is the only scenario + 1440p where the 3070 beats the 6800. I do agree that the 6800 should be slightly cheaper to make this an even stronger argument, I honestly just don't see why anyone would go for a 3070 unless they really care about some nice reflections (sorry, but that's all we're currently getting in terms of RT :( )
Damn, that's great.
RDNA2 actually seems to run faster on an undervolt, due to lower temps, which allows the core to therefore clock higher.
Here the 6800X was undervolted from 1.15V to 1.025V.

Isn't perf/W still more important? At stock, a 6080XT still pulls nearly 30W less than a 3080 does.
It consumes about as much as a 3080 FE lmao

Maybe, but I can assure you that Ampere in general is pushed too far. My 3080 loses almost no performance and is "only" 260w.Isn't perf/W still more important? At stock, a 6080XT still pulls nearly 30W less than a 3080 does.

Yup, that's the consensus. Ampere is already operating at its highest possible peak, which is why it's terrible for OC but also kinda good because you don't have to worry about that nonsense.
Wait, really? Excellent news! Do we know when it's being released?
what resolution and Hz is your display? Gsync doesn't really matter if your FPS are blowing so far past it that it never has to kick in. lol
If you consider $399 in that range the 3060 Ti is expected to retail at that price
Which games are already hitting a wall at 8 gigs that aren't already compute limited at those settings?
OK, well I'll be crossing my fingers that it ends up happening and fairly quickly, it's always nice when everyone gets access to new performance techniques.
According to CB, the 3070 is struggling to keep its FPS steady at 4K with the highest texture settings
howdy, you've seen a bunch of benchmarks already, but here's my review published earlier this morning:
AMD Radeon RX 6800, 6800XT review: The 1440p GPU beasts you’ve been craving
Equivalent Nvidia GPUs beaten in significant cases—but not in ray tracing.
looks like it's quite better. some outlets show the performance per dollar better at 1440p than 4k
oh in that case I'd stick with Nvidia unless you also plan on replacing your monitor with one that supports FreeSync.
Computerbase I think. Pretty good site BTW but only german I think?
They haven't said when but it will just be a software update. They have specified it will work on PCIe 3.0 systems and not be limited to new 4.0 systems and CPUs. They have it done in house already so I would expect it early 2021
FWIW, the only tests that had a meaningful difference @4k there for the 3070 vs 2080ti were COD:MW and Gears tactics. And the former actually had the 3070 do better than the 2080ti when RT was turned on
