I am looking forward to reviews to see if AMD's slides match independent reviewers. I am begging this to be so and not often I get excited over an AMD release but this time I am :D
 
Really hoping to snag one. A 6800XT.

Gotta be honest, it's been great watching the two separate hype trains over the last few weeks.

Bit silly gigabyte didn't compare to a 3080, only a 5700XT.
 
Is all that is for sale today just reference cards with the same coolers and clock epeeds, just different brand stickers?

Yes blind, essentially blind except we've all seen one, know the specs, know the performance AMD claim and unless we believe AMD bodged the benchmarks by like 30% we know that the performance is extremely likely to be very close to what they stated. So blind apart from general performance and most of the details? We just don't have endlessly repetitive benchmarks and multiple people repeating the same things. Do you genuinely believe reviews will paint a completely and utterly different picture to the launch or do you think it will be pretty much what they said.

Same reason I'd suggest people do the same with any product release, we've been shown marketing material, not independent test data. I'm sure AMD won't have lied, but they'll have put their best foot forward. If the cards are great (and the marketing suggests as much), then give us a day to see independent reviews, find a review that matches our system and gives us the information needed for an informed decision. I mean I'd be annoyed if I bought an RX6900XT to discover that my processor bottlenecks it in my preferred games such that I might have just bought a RX6800X, or maybe if I realised too late I needed the RX6900XT to get enough horsepower for certain games at 4k, but I've already bought an RX6800X.
