HBM provides higher bandwidth and lower power consumption so that last part is its saving grace. If you want to point fingers at AMD it should be for launching an upper midrange performing gaming gpu(Vega-non frontier) and sticking HBM on it causing the price to be higher than desirable. Gotta love that Raja guy.

So HBM is pretty cool, the way they chose to use it was less so. To me, it makes sense to use HBM in enterprise/prosumer cards, not so much in consumer cards where the price is very important.

They chose HBM not because they wanted to get less margin from using expensive memory but because GCN architecture is heavily bottlenecked by memory bandwidth when you add extra streaming processors into the chip
 
:confused: all the images I have seen so far they only have 2 display ports, if an AIB doesnt bring one out with more think I will have to go back to my orig plan a 3080

I used one of these with my 2080ti via the USB-C port, which it appears to have on the AMD cards

Not sure if there's a DP1.4 version, but was ok for my needs on a 2560x1440 @ 165hz monitor. with gsync and zero problems with using it.

I didn't see one on OCUK, but apologise in advance if they do have similar products.
Edit, not much in the way of specs, but perhaps this is ok?: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk...dmi-display-port-and-dvi-white-cb-17k-ok.html

I thought we were going to be able to get directly from AMD which is what I was going to try but testing the site on older cards usually just redirects you to somewhere where there is stock. Is it solely the 6000 series where you can get from them?
 
They are only releasing the 6800's on 18th, with the 6900 in December. Any other flavour is likely into 2021. I dunno when the AIB cards can release their own custom cooler styles but hoping they can push AMD for asap releases, mainly to help with the stock issues too.
 
They said AMD only but it's not obvious what it means.

I'm half thinking its going to be "AMD" cards as in someone is making the 6900 reference cards for them but they'll be sold as AMD brand in retailers.

Maybe for stricter spec control for whatever reason.

Haven't seen any official announcement to that effect.. it might just be reference cards in AIB boxes. available after Dec 8.

Any RT benchies for the top card?

No RT benches available at all yet for any of the cards. There were some supposed leaks and compared to a 3070 it out performed it, but we don't know "which" RX6000 series it was, or if it was even a true leak or not.

Frank Azor said that that info would be officially available before launch though. So at some point in the next 2 weeks really.

Thanks
I won't cancel my strix 3090 yet :)
 
Has anyone seen what the full physical dimensions for any of the 6000 cards are? The AMD website lists all of them as 267mm long but the only other sizes noted are that the 6900XT and 6800XT are 2.5 slot cards and 6800 is 2 slot.

I'm trying to figure out whether I can squeeze one of these (or a 3080 for that matter, tho that looks unlikely) into my SilverStone RVZ01B case.
