Selling my RTX 3080 and upgrading to 6900XT for Forza 5????

[Jay85]

Wouldn't be free for me as it's an Asus tuff 3080 oc just looked they're not going for as much £830... Blimey if they were offering me FE edition prices I would rip their arm off and have my 6900xt on order already lol

Same tbh, i would sacrifice RT for more raster performance any day. It's a no brainer!

I had to format windows so i plan on downloading it again overnight, i can do this tomorrow for you. Im stuck on 25mb internet so its an overnight job !

Yeah that would be awesome if you could.
Much appreciated

If you can a profit on the change then go ahead. However, if you have to spend money to make the change, then no, it's not worth it for one game. I doubt you would notice the difference in game unless you were looking at an FPS counter.

Forza 5 everything maxed out to its highest setting @1440p I'm getting 90fps, so I can definitely notice fps if they are a nice bit higher.

Get a 3090, best of both worlds

Much bigger expense though, also I thought the 6900xt was faster in Forza4 so assumed it was in Forza 5 as well.

I was kinda joking, i think selling the 3080 for a 6900XT is a very good plan (specially in the long run with all the VRAM concerns)

Couldn't give up the RT performance and DLSS myself.

Another bench showing the 6900 clearly faster in gameplay.

Forza Horizon 5 does feature a built-in benchmark and initially I was looking at using this for my testing today. However, while the benchmark delivers performance that is broadly representative of what you’ll see in game while using an Nvidia GPU, I found AMD GPUs performed much worse using the benchmark compared to what I saw when actually playing the game.

Take a look at the above chart for instance, for the RTX 3080, the delta in performance between the built-in benchmark and actually gameplay is pretty close, especially at 1440p and 4K. Taking 1440p as an example, the RTX 3080 performs just 10% worse in the built-in benchmark compared to my own test sequence. The RX 6900 XT however, performs 31% worse in the benchmark vs actual gameplay, making it a fair bit slower than the RTX 3080 – which just doesn’t match up with the actual gameplay experience.

It's a good thing there's no bench thread, because you know which GPU would be topping it, the 6900 XT.

Nvidia looks faster to me at all resolutions in this review.

I wish people would stop posting GameGPU "benchmarks". They're literally made up. Digital Foundry already showed that the 6800 XT is faster than the 3080 in this game, let alone the 6900 XT.

(Skip to 15:50 for a comparison between the two.)

I believe the 6900XT wins @2k and the 3090 wins @4k

Made up? kitguru just confirmed their results using built in bench.

Until you use anything other than the general settings.

Great gif usage.

There's no point since it will just get derailed like the last one and the moderators do nothing to stop so can't be bothered.

If someone else does it though I'll contribute.

There is no in game RT, so no bickering.

It's close, but I would back the 6900 XT to win an overclocking war as it seems to be slightly faster at 4K with both cards overclocked.

The cars have RT, don't they? It's a basic implementation but I'm pretty sure the cars have RT on FH5.

 

[Jay85]

Why are you guys always bickering

I think there is RT, at least in some part of the game as there's an option for it in the menu.

Yes I think it's in there.

All friendly here atm. It won't be if I start a bench thread though.
