Not really surprising - luckily I only want the raster performance myself.
Not really impressed by the performance of 6800 XT if this test result is indicative of the overall performance discrepancy to RTX 3070 / RTX 3080.

Doesn't bode well for the new consoles. We're never gonna see 60fps+RT on series X or PS5
It's not, Control (besides stuff like Minecraft RTX) is basically a worst case scenario w.r.t. Raytracing -- OTOH, it's also one of the few titles which actually extensively use Raytracing for more than a few reflections here and there. But overall, the 6800 XT is definitely quite a bit worse at Raytracing than the 3080, while being more or less on par (1440p, 1080p) or slightly ahead (4K) otherwise.
This launch seems to be going about as well as the Nvidia cards did...
As a 3080 owner I feel better with my choice. Was willing to wait for the 6000 lineup but didn't want to after I got one available.
Nice to see AMD at least competitive again. Means Nvidia can't just sit back and relax

AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT Review - NVIDIA is in Trouble
The Radeon RX 6800 XT is a worthy opponent to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080. It offers similar performance at better power efficiency and lower noise levels. In our Radeon RX 6800 XT review, we also take a closer look at raytracing and "Rage Mode", a new 1-click method for overclocking.
It's definitely worst than 3070RTX in control.
In any case, and I am a RTX owner, in general the performance is pretty great on these AMD Cards, and RT is s niche.
Also that NICHE will probably keep growing because consoles are capable, but ey, consoles are AMD based, so probably optimization for that platform will be pretty good.
Tbh, only interesting RT game on PC right now is Control imo, and it still looks great without it.
Such a confusing graph. Should've just skipped the RT AUS part of the graph. You can always make another graph to showcase how much each card loses.

You were expecting 60fps path-tracing on the consoles?
People really have wild expectations for these things, even though we knew a month or so out that RT performance would roughly lag one generation behind nVidia.
Scan and Overclockers are completely dead. Currys don't even have any listings.
Going well so far.......
Going well so far.......
It feels reminiscent of Ryzen first gen. Generally ahead in certain regards, but with decided tradeoffs for other kinds of performance, and dramatically so. Very much requires someone to consider their use cases
At sub 1080p in Minecraft....kinda. These results are disappointing to say the least, I mean we're getting below 2060 performance in some cases (without the inclusion of DLSS). that card has been available almost 2 years.
Rasterization performance is seriously great. Quite disappointing to see that RT is significantly behind cards that are over 2 years old. Hopefully with AMD having RT in the new consoles this will improve in new games and with driver updates.
This may have been worse than Nvidia's launch. See y'all in Spring 2021 when you can actually order anything anywhere without bots involved.
For just 50$ under 3080 MSRP, why would I even wanna buy a 6800XT when its worse in everything and 6800xt prices are already rising....
And fearing about AMD drivers.
OTOH The 6800XT is faster than the 2080 Super FE, and the 2060 doesn't even make the chart in the computerbase Control /w RT benchmark above.
I just can't see that as disappointing. You all do you.
The 6800 XT's performance is facinating, outside of RTX and DLSS enabled games it is a competitive performer! However, in games that feature DLSS and Ray tracing the 6800 XT really struggles to compete.
Honestly, DLSS is such an incredible feature!

Are they though? I would have thought the 6800 XT would have been around 2080 Ti RT performance.
So, the thing AMD really needed to bring to the table to really take a bite out of Nvidia was availability.
That does not seem to be the case right now. Guess we'll see how things shake out over the next couple months, but it seems like it's going to be a scramble for these cards regardless of where they show up.

Doesn't inspire me to want to purchase one of these cards, but I'm glad the AMD tech is at least competitive (Outside of RT, which I'm sure will improve with their next gen). Nvidia needs the competition to keep their prices at semi-reasonable levels.
I am not sure RT will perform well on AMD card and implementation seems to be different according to this Nvidia Omniverse employee who heard things from people he knows in the game industry about PS5 raytracing implementation. The other guy is a Naughty Dog guy. If it real it means two times more work to optimize RT on RTX card and AMD card.
it is impressive for sure, but its competing with ampere gpus , is it not? While context matters always , the end result is the deciding factor for making purchasing decision
What at shitshow of a launch again. Some of the newegg product pages wouldnt even load until 24 minutes after launch for me and of course sold out. The ones that did load the add to cart button didnt work. AMD's site also had a busted add to cart and when it finally worked same story.
Any idea on when the best buy cards drop?

The Cyberpunk RT benchmarks are going to be a bloodbath for AMD. Just as well they released these cards beforehand.
Yes it was documented in their press driver known issues that it's broken in Legion.So RT in Watch Dogs Legion is straight up broken on AMD, huh?
So this might be worse than the 3000 series. I actually saw those in stock but sold out once you added it into the cart. This loaded with just an out of stock when the cards went up.
Yep should have been 80-100 under, games like Cyberpunk will sell the 3080/3070 for the RT performance and $50 just isn't enough to give that up.
Yeah, it was fun to see people lose their shit thinking this thing was going to clown the 3080 in RT and 4K. It was never feasible.
