How are you deciding between 6800 and 6800XT?

THE 5700XT is a great card, i need to stop getting bogged down wanting new and shiny..
yeah i get that. ill be honest i mainly want it for cyberpunk. there is no doubt about it, with RT on, games look excellent.
6800 if your on a 580 or below imho
6800xt if your on a vega or above
6900XT if your on Radeon 7 and or mental lol
Im on 7 - Was thinking 6800xt but by this reasoning 6900xt sounds good.
Another vega 56 owner wondering the same thing - game at 1440p, and most of what I play isnt too bad but the extra FPS wouldnt go amiss.
Think its going to boil down to whatever is offering the best FPS/£ ratio (so likely 6800) - should be more than enough for 1440p.

Reviews depending, but assuming all goes well (stock situation aside) I think all three are viable options for me.
Probably the 6800XT... but that could change a number of times.
I may even consider the 6700XT as that's bound to still be considerably faster than a 980Ti. Time will tell.
My... look at the price jumps of cards like the 2070/80 Super!!!

If the silicon count is anything to go by the 6800XT will be about 20% faster than the 6800.

Have we got a confirmed UK price difference between the XT and non-XT?
According to Hardware Unboxed there will be very little stock of the reference cards. AIB's will be out the following week so we may have better luck then but at what price?
Patients is going to be good for the soul I think
Another ***** tease of a launch?

No, everything's under NDA. One of OcUK's competitors has said as much, though made sure to mention in their response that past launches have usually been at 2pm. So I'd wager that's when all will be revealed. Doesn't sound promising at all on the stock front though.

Will either of these cards run Triple screens for Sim racing?
My mate runs 3 1080p screens on a 2070 Super so you should be fine.

Honestly CBA with handing money over and not knowing what's going on I'm not playing that game

This figure differs from athlon's one so where are you plucking this info from?
I think you will find the 6800 has best £/frame value. 6800XT meant to be 50% more expensive but it is not 50% faster.

Especially if you overclock the 6800 which it should do comfortably going by 5700 series.

If you do have plans for 4k then I would go for the 6800xt.
But of course wait for benchmarks etc...
