An RX 6800 is a powerful card, simple. While it's not the top card I try and remember it's about 10% faster than a 2080 Ti.

You're not going to run CP2077 even at medium settings and reach 4K 60 with a 6800 (more like low 40ish fps at best). And the things you say to turn down for performance gains barely cost any in the first place (chromatic aberration et all, all post-processing cheap effects which will be in the <=1 fps range of perf hit).
Again, you are wrong. I have an RX 6800 , and in the games i play at max or near max settings i play at 4k/60 . Quoting a review doesnt hold water , especially since the results vary so much on all of them. RT is also a gimmick and i leave it off. Do you actually own the latest generation of gpu ?
I'm telling you right now that I did run it at 4K in CP2077 with 40ish FPS lows and more like 55FPS average with turning most of those effects off and shadows medium. The 3080 runs it barely much faster unless you enable DLSS. Mainstream reviews would tell me I should get 47 fps minimus at ultra 4K on my 3080FE in WDL, yet my own experience in very demanding scenes IS mid 30 FPS minimums. I can see and feel it dropping out of my Freesync range with ultra and that is well below the 47 reviews claim. Reviewers play a short stint or even run a canned benchmark and post some results that more often than not fail to match reality. It is why you sometimes see drastically different results on the same game from different reviews.
waffle and graph
Reading comprehension is a problem for you i see. As i said , for the third time, i game at 4k/60 IN THE GAMES I PLAY. I care nothing for your BS. Also i dont believe you have a 6800 given the level of bitching you are doing.
You can't discount demanding games for counting under 4K gaming then go ahead and say "yeah, it's 4K card". Let's talk numbers and specific games (see below).
You're not disagreeing with me, you're disagreeing with reality. This is the performance of the card:
(1%/Avg)
Godfall: No. (42/51)| WDL: No (37/42)| ACV: No. (38/48)| Dirt 5: Yes. (62/69)| Death Stranding: Yes. (85/93)| MSFS2020: Heck No. (27/29)| Gears 5: Yes. (52/63)| HZD: Yes-ish (51/60)| ACOd: Yes-ish (43/63)| Anno 1800: No. (41/44)| Black Mesa: No. (43/48)| BL3: No. (43/46)| Control: No. (33/37)| Detroit BH: No. (52/58)| GR:BP: No. (29/33)
Disagree! RT in Control and CP2077 at 4K looks bloody brilliant. Thats why I got an ampere not a navi
This shows the 6800 is still very capable at 4k:
Thank you for posting and showing the reality for potential 6800 buyers. The problem I see is those proclaiming it a poor 4K card, are focusing on CP2077 as if it is the ultimate goal for all GPUs. Even CP2077 is playable at 4K with mostly high settings (no RT of course) but the focus seems to be "if it isn't maxed out 60FPS it's a fail". Even the RTX 3080 or RTX 3090 cannot run CP2077 maxed out at 4K with DLSS and RT off.
Well they release some really decent 4k / 144hz / ips panels a lot now.
I have a 32" 4K 60Hz Freesync monitor and a 1080p 144Hz Freesync and I prefer the 4K hands down. Though as you say it's all down to personal preference.
The problem is nothing can run modern "AAA" games at that refresh, and the issue with 4K is that nothing ever will. As soon as a card comes out that allows max settings 4k60 locked in 6 months that card can't do it anymore. 4K 144hz is a pipe dream in the latest releases. Devs are pushing graphics tech faster than AMD/Nvidia can release cards. MCM may be the answer but I feel that 4k60 will always be that dream people are chasing and never quite getting there as Devs just find another power hogging technique or setting they can add or turn up.
I suppose that's why we are enthusiasts though.
