The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

[Freddie1980]

I'd feel pretty miffed if I was soft enough to have even bought a 3090 at the asking price

Do you remember that guy who posted a thread just after the RTX 3080 was announced and thought Nvidia should have offered cash back to 2080 Ti buyers!!

The 6900XT is the one im getting but ill be maxing that out at 3440x1440. Just need the water block for it now.

Very nice, I'm jealous, in a good way

What does £400 get you?

A good night out?

 

[Martini1991]

50$ less than 3080

Lol.

Still expensive.
If they're offering better price/performance then great, at least AMD are supplying spit rather than going in dry.

the issue is now Nvidia release a 3070 Ti beating the 6800 and falling just a bit behind the 6800XT by 10% or so priced at £550 and most people will buy Nvidia because... well Nvidia.

And if those benchmarks of the 6900xt are with the card in some sort of OC mode, then I expect a 3080 Ti 12gb to match it and all Nvidia have to do is price it the same as previous Titan cards.. then that'll sell more no doubt..

Most of @Richdog's mutterings are uselss crap

I fully agree with that, but that is Rich coming from you!

 

[Grandmaster Fap!]

Really glad i waited for this reveal, wanted to get a new 5k AMD cpu and now the 6800XT is perfect. Been a LONG time since i was all AMD!

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Consumer still looks like they lose.

What does £400 get you?

Nothing ATM!!

Looking at the pricing,I suspect the RX6700XT will be over £400,and it will be the RX6700.

However,it does seem Nvidia will have the RTX3060TI and RTX3060 out by the end of next month.

I did remember seeing that. God bless him!

ooohhh of course it is, my bad

One thing got me interested

If You are not on PCIE4.0 wont performance get BIG HIT with amd's new design ??

Wonder what CPU there benching the GPU with.

Looks like the benches were done on a 5900X

I know it depends on what CPUs the GPUs are paired with, but for instance the Modern Warefare framerates don't seem to be accurate for the RTX 3080? I've seen much higher FPS on various CPUs paired with it. I know these graphs are meant to show the best results from AMD, but I feel like a few of these are off.

test system for all graphs was Ryzen 5900X with 16GB DDR4-3200 memory. Not peak performance memory wise, but not any slower than Intel.

RX 6900XT vs RTX3090 graph I liked the least. Basically Rage mode means its no longer 300W + needing smart memory bonus means its strictly slower than 3090. And there is not much room between 3090 and 3080.

 

[fizzelopeguss]

Lol, get ****** Jensen.

 

[Lightnix]

Good Point, is there rumors of a 6700?

Yeah, 6700 XT is supposed to be a 40 CU part, 12GB memory, 192 bit bus according to rumours. Big step down from the 6800.

 

[Martini1991]

Did the 6900XT best the 3090?

If so it's spectacular AMD have the best card

 

[Orcvader]

It's been a long time I've been this excited about GPUs, if AMD's claims are true then Nvidia finally has some competition. Hopefully UK prices aren't too high, I'm on the fence between the 3070 and 6800 depending on performance and pricing.

 

[cliffy]

What was that about? Missed this

After the CPU launch i suggested that maybe the GPU demo was not using the top card. He basically belittled me stating Newegg as the source saying it would be their top card and there could not be anything faster based on specs. I dont really mind but his attitude was so poor i had to take the opportunity to remind him

Ampere has the same - both are using a version of MS Directstorage.

 

[Tiny_D]

Amusing how the tables have turned, Nvidia announce the 3 series and people **** a brick. AMD reveal their plans and all we see is "ZOMG AMD WHY ARE YOU WAITING SO LONG WTF". Fast forward a few weeks, the 30 series launch was a disaster of Biblical proportions, zero stock, scalpers everywhere and scarce availability details. Looks to me like AMD planned their launch well whereas Nvidia just sharted out a few cards after maybe 3 weeks of production in an obvious panic as they knew what was coming.

+1 100% agree.

Glad i am not the only one thinking this. Everyone allowed an opinion but the way he puts others down sucks
