Most of all I really hope these cards have some nice headroom in them when undervolted and overclocked (which my 5700XT really responds well to), be nice to get some real gains by tweaking for a change! 
Ive got no chance, working and will get maybe one shot at the rainforest or something. Ahwell Sorry about the conference call

Us mere mortals don't really have a chance at 2pm anyhow, for me it's when they start to dribble out in the next week weeks to retailers that I'll get a chance.

I wouldn't mind so much if it was important. Or if I thought that it might lead to a Decision.
Almost tempted to say "I'm allowed to upgrade when I've completed morrowind and Oblivion". I've nearly finished Morrowind - the only game the craptop could play sanely.
I'm just trying to use the spectacle to avoid buying one myself just yet. I hope I will be entertainedIt'll be amusing to watch, less so next week when it's my turn to try for an AIB
Any leakers
Any moist benchmarks
Apparently a spanish youtuber was less than watertight and let a dribble out

Small sample suggests AMDs cards do a lot more at 1080p and towards 4k becomes more even with Nvidia.
Apply salt as desired
looks about right. No issue with this tbh, AMD is back in business and at the same time no Rtx3080 owner should feel slighted their cards are still good, they maybe just overpaid a little

Didn't you just get a reminder pop up in your calendar for that blood test you need to go for at 13:30?
The 6800 beasting a 3080 at 1080p in some titles is eye opening, shows how badly ampere performs at lower resolution.
Seems AMD finally shut up the "But meh 3000fps at 720p CSGo!) whiners.
I wonder what cpu that is on as well? Interesting times ahead for sure.
Soon itll be" But yeah Nvidia is superior at 4k with RTX and DLSS enabled" while checking their sigs to find 1080p screens
I wonder what proportion of people buy a RTX3080 or a 6800XT and then play at 1080p? How big is the esports wannabe crowd?
If it did overclock well would you consider going from 3080 to 6800xt for say 10%?
While I agree I personally think we are still a few years off this. Game development cycles are literally years and RT is still so young, I truly believe next gen cards are where RT will be meaningful.
Also the way consoles use checkboard vs any type of DLSS will make a major impact on development, AMD have a card to match Nvidia this time but AMD's software stack is a way behind and I think this is what we need to see develop before a definitive answer is found.
I just want to be able to drive my Valve index at smooth looking gfx and 90-144hz, I think either the 3080 or 6800xt are gonna struggle still.
You have a 3080 and want to upgrade? why ?
3080 is amazingly fast card and should enjoy it, 3090 is over priced and next best thing might be 6900xt for what might be 5-10% extra performance. Not worth the hassle.
unless 6900xt overclocks tp 2500-2600mhz then maybe.
Honestly keep the FE and be happy with it. I'm sure it hits the monitors max refresh and keeps 4k content at an acceptable level (especially with DLSS). I'd only upgrade on the next itteration of cards unless you can get more for the FE than a 6800XT is worth and get a cracking deal for yourself.
