How did it turn out in the end?

The msrp reference prices were not too bad this gen. Only issue was we couldn't buy them for that apart from the 50 people that got lucky against the bots!
If we slap anther £75 on that the 7800 non XT would be £625 which would be a handy price.

The 3090 beat the 6900 XT.
I quoted all the "RIP 3090" in the thread. Then when the 6900 XT reviews came out....they were all quiet

Depends on what game you played. Pretty sure in Valhalla for example the 6900XT clearly beats the 3090.

Did it? Last i looked they were basically on par or at least traded blows depending on the game, and that was a year ago or more, i'm sure any gap between them has narrowed due to driver updates.
And resolution. I think 1080 and 1440 was a win for the 6900xt

I don't know about you but I'm not buying a expensive GPU on release hoping it will improve with gaming performance against the competition 12 to 18 months later due to driver updates.
Having said that... nvidia did release a driver recently which improved their performance in dx 12
IIRC, has closed the gap considerably where amd gpus did have the large advantage i.e. assassins creed valhalla and forza 5

Similar with the 6700XT and 3070. People say the 6700XT is competitive with the 3060ti. But it isn't.
I've highlighted in green where the 6700XT is faster, and orange where it is pretty much a draw. Yet when you say the 6700XT trades blows with the 3070 people say it doesn't. Strange. As at 1440P it clearly does. It's a great 1440P card. Over 13 games it was just 2.9FPS slower. The horror!!
Here is a review from over a year ago of 13 games (so this is worse as it doesn't include the recent driver improvements).
GPU Face Off: GeForce RTX 3070 vs Radeon RX 6700 XT
We put the GeForce RTX 3070 into a cage with the Radeon RX 6700 XT to see which comes out on top.
Like people buying a GPU hoping that more games will use RT or fake frames?

I don't know about you but you should check the recent nvidia driver 522.25 lifting it few%...
526.47 is the better driver now and came out yesterday, it seems to have cured some of the strange things I saw on loading screen on SOTTR too and seems stable too.
Caporegime
The newest driver causes artifacts in Modern Warfare II (MW2) so rolled back to 522.25 which works fine in MW2.
Ohh .. I don't have that game so not sure. I was playing SOTTR benchmark to see what sort of uplifts these new drivers have on SLI/NVLINK, seems some people are saying also MSFS on 522.25 were seeing crashing to desktop or strange artifacts and had to roll back too. I don't really play games on that machine normally just MSFS and work really. HTPC is really the main games machine for pc gaming and not had a chance to update the drivers there to test out more games for issues, it's a 3090 in that pc too. Will have a play this weekend and see what they help or break for the games I have installed. This series of drivers for sure have a lot of changes in them compared to the 4xx.xx versions before I had installed on the work pc.

Great. So basically:
Got ya!

That was the 6900xt. The 6900xtxh is a whole lot better.The 3090 beat the 6900 XT.

Also, forgot to mention, all the ray tracing titles where the gap increases further..... and that's not even factoring in the more demanding ones where when RT is more complex, RDNA 2 buckles entirely.
For raster, it was win some, lose some, draw:
Then throw in the long wait time for a dlss competitor over the months/years, fsr 1 was not a competitor to dlss as per amds own words, fsr 2+ is and even now the uptake is still somewhat lacking....
3090 problem was its price though, for only an extra £750, you get a whopping 10-15% boost over a £650 3080
If you didn't care for RT or dlss, 6900xt was the better buy imo

Plenty of people buy such cards to play at 1080p (or even 1440p)
Plenty of people buy these cards without the right power supply or CPU, so yeah it sounds about rightPlenty of people buy such cards to play at 1080p (or even 1440p)
Gains in performance with driver updates happens with all gpu's, AMD just seem to be able to eek a bit more out of it as time goes on.
