That's true.
Nah I'm not seeing how that backs up what you said. Some site selling suspect keys is not AMD. In fact that's a long way from what AMD would like to be associated with.

Ok, I will preface this by saying that this review by Coretek is very articulate and accurate reporting. Yes, I'm surprised.
-He explains why disparity of performance between AMD vs Nvidia sponsored titles.
-He explains how to enable SAM in the bios for x570 board
-He explains that Dirt 5 RT is optimized for RX 6000 and shows you what to expect from other ported games that use RT for the Uarch
-He admits that RT is still a gimmick overall.
Most important:
-He uses a AMD PC Build as his test bed. Something I'm finding hard to see in these other reviews
Yes, it is impressive. Most importantly it wasn't hamstrung on a Intel PC. At a cursory glance even the 5000 series benefit from using a complete AMD PC Build which is, IMO, incentive enough to go AMD. Specially if you are looking to play future next gen consoled ported titles.
A fair observation. However, it does appear that Nvidia sponsored titles do better on Nvidia hardware.
I'm not sure if it's fair to call next gen pc ported games AMD sponsored since it's AMD's hardware in the consoles to begin with. However, it's becoming an outlier for nvidia none the less.
Exactly!
Tell me what % of the games market consoles account for (including XBox One and PS4), and what % 3080/3090 owners on PC make up
Devs are going to target PC owners with 3080s and 3090s are they? Yeah, no.
Just coining a phrase I see often on here
Why is it too earlyI certainly would not be going back to lower resolutions as a 3080 paired with an OLED at 4K with Gsync is glorious.

True everyone's situation is different I prefer playing on desk with monitor which is 1440p 240hz so feel like I'll get more bang for buck with 6800xt,
Feel like the next gen cards will start seeing 140+ FPS at 4k

If you look at the development video for the spiderman game for consoles, you would understand how they tweak the game so that they get the fps they want. You would understand right away how these tweak can then be relaxed for better hardware. You're argument is basically, "ignorance is bliss".
This video covers the problem.

you make it sound like 30% difference.
it beats the 3080 in few titles max 5%
bang for your buck?
what is it £50-70 extra?
I suspect come release day for Cyberpunk 2077 there will be a few tears in here and much back peddling of the "I don't care about RT/DLSS" squad.
Quite some hyperbole to suggest a graphics setting is worth playing a game for
I'm not saying they can't do it, I'm saying they mostly won't bother tweaking their game for the 0.0005% of gamers to push their £1500 GPUs to the limit
Most titles will be designed from the ground up for consoles. In 12-18 months time they'll be built for next-gen (AMD) consoles. For the little while longer they'll be build for current gen (AMD) consoles.
Devs aren't going to spend time putting in features that current- or next-gen consoles can't handle, and only 3080 or 3090 owners can make use of. Because, time is money

Anyone else just received an email from Overclockers stating they are refunding there order because they didn't make the limited quantity of the product for sale?

I intended to play Cyberpunk 2077 way before RT/DLSS support was announced, but feel free to assume as much as you want!:

Again your arguement makes sense if you are ignorant of the way it works.
This video covers the tweaks they make. Note that they can relax the tweaks or remove them if they don't need to be there on faster hardware for good performance. Thus the game can look far better on the RTX 3080/3090 with little of no changes.

Shhh, they are still watching black and white TVs with a coat hanger sticking out the back.
Never heard of it but fair enough.
Also that's not how this works. You don't get to claim there are lots of them and then name 1 game.

Yup, just got the you're ****** email too.
Also sounds like as others have been implying, this isn't low stock of the reference card as much as it's straight up limited edition. They said refund in process and no indication of any list. they get what they got and there are no more reference cards.
This isn't surprising. Usually you have crap reference cards and a month or two till customs and there isn't much competition as no one wants reference except for watercooling. This time reference is great and custom are only a week later so this is just to have some stock on the full launch but real stock is with the customs a week later.
6800xt reference is more like 5700xt 50th anniversary edition and with so few around that's why places only got 10-50 cards and some countries got none at all. Not because early stock is definitely bad but because there simply won't ever be many of these cards.
Believe what you want. We have literally decades of experience of consoles being the lead platform, and what that means for PC gamers
I'm sure all of that will change because you watched 1 YT video about Spiderman.
The whole nvidia youtube channel has more than two. Why don't you go there yourself and fix your own ignorance. Or maybe google search and go to the long list on nvidia website.
