*** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

[Feared_Punto]

You know what? I think I'm cancelling and waiting for the 6800XT.

 

[the pokemon kid]

Right folks, everyone in the Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC queue can go ahead and cancel and switch to AMD 6800XT. Yup, go on you know you want to!

Seriously, just DO IT!

You mean swap to a 6900xt... $1k works out to be £770. So say £850

 

[ChemicalWorld]

Well that big navi hype wasn't really as good as a lot of the moaners on here were hyping about.

Shuuuush!

 

[chizzy201]

AMD taking a swing.

 

[Zeed]

Well im sticking to 3080

 

[Sedds]

My watch is over, managed to order a 3090 from a competitor for delivery tomorrow. Cancelled my Strix non-OC, was sitting at 20 in the queue.

 

[Rymix]

$649

Watching it back and I still didn't spot this price

 

[Nigel Franklin]

looks like the 6900xt for me then

 

[Valyn]

$1k for the 6900xt which is on par with the 3090 looooool

Is it though? It seems to be performing marginally better than a 3090 (non-third party benchmarks mind you) and it's got 8GB less VRAM (also GDDR6 not GDDR6X), which is a huge buzzkill for a $1000 GPU.

Ok so I'm not really sure what to do now since it's my first time building, should I stay with the stix 3080 oc or get the 6800xt?

 

[Cecco]

I'm sticking with my rtx 3080 pre-order.

Yeah but it aint available till the 18th

 

[u2coop]

Honestly I expected a good bit lower price point, its only 50 less than the Nvidia competition and with previous massive mess-ups in drivers, Ill pass

Thought they might have gone in a bit more aggressively. 6900XT could be competitive, though I expect a TI to be announced at that price point soon

 

[peds]

Impresive AMD presentation.... how many will keep preorders now I wonder...

 

[BurnieJNR]

Well, ASUS and Nvidia have until the 18th November to sort their **** out, otherwise AMDs customer base will rise considerably.

See you all on the 19th November in the AMD chat for the same discussions

 

[Zeed]

@Simon burgess id consider that bet lost cause 80cu is better than i expected so pop me paypal details on PM still rather have 3080 myself than 6800xt but

 

[Benjins]

Gonna see if I can land a 3070 FE tomorrow to tide me over until the 6950 comes out and is stable. I think the FE cards hold their value so should be ok to resell after I reckon

Stability with nvidia or take a punt at amd never know there drivers may work this time

I can see the 6800 XT starting at over £800 here, and precious little mention of raytracing performance. Seems like a bad deal tbh

I'm sticking with my rtx 3080 pre-order.

I will be keeping mine, good presentation though.
