OcUK RX6900XT review thread

Looks pretty clear to me that Nvidia still have AMD pretty much covered in the graphics arena. Maybe driver updates will change that but I doubt it. You'd have to be a a big AMD fan to opt for this over a 3080 IMO.
 
Latest timespy scores from Jayz2cents channel. This seems to include some up to date adjustments to the other cards as well.

6900XT disappointing indeed. Interesting that it follows the same profile as Ampere though.

Well Fortnite must extremely poorly optimised because a game like Control at 4K with Raytracing on gets far more FPS than 13 so you're using a poor example, also who would play a competitive shooter with Raytracing on when FPS means everything.

You need to realize that control is a corridor type of game while fortnite is open world/sandbox. With rt set to max. Like I said before they will need to tone it down.

To further compound the situation a 3090 will not get you 4k60 in cb2077 either with max non rt setting. Lets see what day one patch brings for both cards but I won't hold my breath.

Control is the go to game for Nvidia fanboys though. It's constantly referred to because the coding is so one sided. AMD does not perform well even without RT which means the devs are using other 'tech' that favours Nvidia. The days of Gameworks and Physx are still not over sadly.

Very true.
Both fortnite and control have Nvidia hands in it though. The problem is when the developer uses raw, unoptimized ray tracing and the game that is not specifically optimize this is the results you get. Which is very ironic because that is what they're doing with AMD cards on the video specific titles. AMD is ReliOn simply raw performance instead of optimized code which helps improve performance.

In reality marketing fell in the ditch they dug for amd.

CDPR asked Tomshardware to take down that article as it’s not representative of final performance.

Then lets use AMD's RT showcase to compare Ampere and RDNA2?

Isn’t that the same thing with AMD fanboys though? Unoptimised games like AC Valhalla and Godfall are touted to proclaim AMD superiority over NVIDIA.
 
At least amd are back to a competitive level enough for people to argue which games to include or not to skew benchmarks with amd or Nvidia optimised games

I notice j2c left out ACv conveniently lol
 
Everyone is different but...

so basically

Vr: the broken on amd don't care
Dlss: non existent on amd don't care
Ray tracing: bad performance on amd not buying for RT
Rendering: bad performance on amd - not seen any proof of this
Ray Traced rendering: broken on amd and bad performance not interested in RT

These things all add up

For the raster rendering stuff, check Linus Tech Tips review, the 6900xt only performs like a RTX3060ti.

And if you enable ray traced rendering, the 6900xt like all RDNA 2 cards produces a very noisy image that can't then be used for any commercial purposes - any ray traced rendering looks like it's got the worst film grain known to man.

if you don't like Linus, you can also check out OptimumTech's channel as he also benches rendering because it's something he uses to make his youtube content and he flat out said he would not recommend the 6900xt/6800xt for rendering.

Recovering mindshare, one customer at the time.:D

Here's a top tip for you AMD.:cool:

Make a decent website for a start if you want to sell items.
Or pass it to a actual retailer that can do the job, because you bloody well cant.

...

Didn't Nvidia complely **** up the sales of their Founders edition cards and start selling them through 3rd parties?

That was a comparison of pro render vs Blender cycles. Noise can be removed by cranking up the number of samples or using the denoising node in blenders compositor. I'm pretty certain i told you this when you brought this up with the 6800.

There is a known issue with AMDs OpenCL compiler that increases the render time for AMD GPUs. If AMD can get this sorted it would drop their render times.
The speed of AMD GPUs in Cycles render engine does seem to be scene dependent, so your statement about the 6900xt only being as fast as a 3060ti is false.

Some comparrisons do make me laugh, I don't plan on buying either as i'm bottlenecked by my CPU atm. But so many of the comparrions are a bit silly.

It's like saying a Bugatti Veyron is only as fast as a Peugeot 107 because they are are both limited to 30mph on certain roads.
