This new machine with the 6900xt is going to be the dedicated sim rig.
I may swap cards around, depending on performance and how much each gets used but I think it makes the most sense this way around.

Yeah, that's the only thing making me doubt my choice.
It'll come down to how it performs on ACC and how much I need to tweak to get the same level of performance. With the 3090 I'd tweaked settings to get 100fps without any real noticable losses in fidelity.

Well, the combination of SMP and high res performance has left me using the 3090 for the Sim Rig initially.
Which gave me the opportunity to put the 3090 and 6900xt head to head. I was pleasantly surprised to see the 6900xt so close to the 3090.
Both tests are with the cards auto-overclocked with power limit maxed. Nvidia run has a CPU overclock, AMD is PBO.

The 3090 has done higher scores, but with a benchmark-only overclock that's only stable in Timespy.

Nice. Will be interesting to see how RDNA2 matures too.
I was very interested in either a 6800XT or 6900XT this time round but couldn't get one- hopefully next gen AMD both not only compete well but also have availability, I'd like to give them a go - I think my last AMD GPU was back in the 2000's!
It'll be interesting to see how they compare next generation, you'd expect them to close the gap if they continue their current form.
Managed to finish the sim rig PC today. RGB fans are wasted in this windowless case, but it's all I had.
