No space left in my team I'm afraid. I just run the IT department and run all tech related projects. Work "owe" me a few track days because of some recent stuff I did for them way beyond what was reasonable or expected. I'm converting that into GPU. I'm also certain ill get some release day stock as one of europes biggest distis has all but promised me they will be able to get me one or some.

I personally wouldn't bother. There's often a price increase for a tiny little bit of extra performance the AIBs can tack onto their premium model, and I just don't see much of a cost/performance benefit. Usually you're paying for a better, quieter cooler, but even the standard models seem to be better and have moved away from that single centrifugal fan that exits out the back of the case. That design was always noisier and less good at cooling, but now everyone seems to have adopted a more standard 2/3 fans on a big finned heatsink design that works well and quietly.

Yeah sorry, it was the cooler I was talking about... I don't care about any pre-OC.

After having one of the AMD blower cards a few years back, I've only ever gone AIB in order to get a better, quieter cooler. Now even the standard AMD 6xxx series cards seem to have good coolers on them, so I don't know what more of value the AIBs can add to the cooler designs.

Having failed miserably to pick up a 30 series GPU my attention has now switched to AMD. Looking at 6900xt but I'm unsure if it will be a good match for my LG 65 CX screen. I have a lounge PC setup and screen was bought to run a PS5 and PC. Having sold my 2080ti in early August its been a long wait! I know the screen has both Gsync and Freesync Premium (after latest update) but i have no experience of team red in recent years. Any suggestions?

thats also a point I have a gsync monitor, and also I am probably going to play cyberpunk on my new LG tv which is also g sync not sure they support Freesync as well ?

As long as you have HDMI 2.1 on your TV you’ll get VRR which should be as good as Freesync.

well considering the 6800 (non XT) is better than a 2080Ti, any will do you

AMD might not tick all of the boxes immediately, but given that consoles are running the same architecture, I expect more game support in the future.

i think over long term, AMD has far more leverage than NVidia. the future games will be adopting AMD's approach on RT and scaling far more than Nvidia. which developer will be crazy enough to adapt 2 game engines just to get HW raytracing on Nvidia. Cyberpunk might be the big title coming out wiht nvidia supported RT but that will be minority of games in the future.

AMD will just get better at RT and scaling down the line. everyone talks about RT being the game changer as well. i dont see it being the case this gen. it will be the next gen GPU and the wider adoption of RT (AMD way) that will make RT mainstream. by then AMD will have HW RT worked out and scaling like DLSS.
 
Anyone seen the new Demon Souls gameplay footage? It looks fantastic (with RT as well) and thats running a cut down version of RDN2 and also in 4k 60fps

Impressive.

LG CX (2020) has 4 x HDMI 2.1 with Gsync out the box. Firmware update brought freesync premium but I've yet to test it.

I've got a C9 and found myself playing more games on this recently rather than my monitor (HDR is great).

im not sure how a 6800 would perform with it as it doesnt look like the freesync is available on it
 
The 6800 is too expensive.. 575 MSRP is too much and after gouging, it will properly be 600 straight or worse. The only redeeming factor would be if you can unlock it as some Vega 56' did to Vega 64'.

Thanks. LG decided not to roll out freesync on last years models which is no surprise as both TV's are very similar and they needed a good selling point for this years sets. Having used gsync on the CX it worked seamlessly and my old predator ultrawide became redundant. I'm hoping freesync will be just as smoothe.
