6900 XT.What do you think?
I'm torn between the two.
My inherent herd instinct says go for a 3080. Brain says go for a 6900 XT.
Price of available 6900XT is lower than 3080 .
Mainly for VR racing sims.
Very little else.
6900 XT.
Depends on what you are going to play.

If they include iracing avoid the 6700XT. There is a thread on their members forum where AMD owners are complaining they cannot get acceptable performance from the 6000 series AMD cards.
My reason for being here now is my old 980ti which I used for VR on iracing died. Because of the issues with 6000 series cards the replacement is I am afraid going to have to be a Nvidia card - which obviously is tricky at the moment!
iracing? Nah. I'm not good enough to join that. I bumble around the tracks and crash in to more walls than Elvis sold records.![]()
You don't need to be any good to be on that. I am very very slow myself. So many people online that even an old past it never was never could be like me can be put into a race with people of about the same pace. Plus in VR (assuming you have the right card :it is great.
To be honest in this market any of the 3080 / 6800XT / 6900XT would work well.
I guess keep an eye out for 3080 FE cards![]()
I hadn't considered the 6800 previously. But I am now.
Your post prompted me to do a quick (very quick) youtube comparison of 6800 vs 3080. Not much difference in results but a big difference in price. I hadn't considered the 6800 previously. But I am now. Thanks.
I'm just popping over to youtube to compare 6900xt vs 6800xt.
Yep, 10-12% based on my testing of 6800 XT vs 6900 XT, at the same clock speeds, voltage and fan speed. Tested using MBA GPUs. 6900 XT is just slightly better silicon with extra CUs.We'll save you the hassle, about 11% faster![]()
