3900 and the 6900 XT sitting on a platter

Supra_Hadouken · 3 Nov 2020 at 20:13

EDIT: Yes I mean the RTX 3090 oops

Which do you choose and why?

Dontrocktheboat · 3 Nov 2020 at 20:23

by 3900 you probably mean the 3090 rtx >

and it would be 3090 by a mile.

More memory, better drivers, more transistors, better RT, can be used in productivity.

It really is not a contest.

LtMatt · 3 Nov 2020 at 20:26

3090, which i would then sell and buy a 6900 XT which offers similar performance and keep the profit to upgrade other parts of my system.

Oops yeah

Obviously the 6900XT, because it's cheaper and faster.

I think games starting 2021 will be optimised better for AMD due to consoles being RDNA2.

What do you think?

RX 6900XT - because I might be able to get one before the turn of the century

What planet you live on? Obviously the new AMD cards are better....

added advantage of the 5-10% performance boost when using a ryzen 5000 cpu with an amd GPU is great.

I concur.

Don’t forget the AMD fine wine, and did anybody mention it’s 600 Quid cheaper

Darujhistan · 3 Nov 2020 at 23:20

Easy, 6900XT and £600 thanks.

Woodsta888 · 3 Nov 2020 at 23:23

6900XT unless you already bought a 3090...and feel a bit sick

More memory, unproven, doesn't matter, unproven maybe likely, is not a Titan so garbage.

Both are gaming cards and the jury is out but the big thing is ones way cheaper.

ill be cancelling my 3090 strix oc at 1700 notes, buying the 6900xt then using the money i saved to buy a 5800x/5900x and a x570 mobo.. ill probably still have a few quid left over

its total madness when you think of it like that

Yeah I feel like doing the same thing

It's cheaper till you add a new AMD cpu and motherboard.
No one knows if it's faster till the real reviews come out.
The RT will be lower on the AMD card.

Grim5 · 4 Nov 2020 at 07:14

3090 if it's the same price

6900xt if it's way cheaper

Ian Evey · 4 Nov 2020 at 07:42

None, both are way overpriced.

Welcome to the new norm.
