The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

Sorry not really interested in 6800xt vs 3080. I haven't bought an NV GPU since Geforce3 ti500 if you ignore a gt1030 I bought at some point for a media pc then never used it. I was more interested in cpu scaling between similar performing cpu's of differing core counts but where overall performance is roughly the same.

fwiw I will probably buy the 6900xt in the new year and if they don't fix some of the workstation type performance issues ill be using it alongside my radeon 7.

CPU scaling on the 3080

It will eat the 3080.

Come on Humbug.... You are better than that. Plus how can you be saying stuff like that when you went a bought a 5700XT to then sell it to buy a 2070S?

Things are never just as black and white as that. Everyone has individual needs, there is no right and wrong card. Silly thing to say imo.

Come on you being giving Humbug some stick, all fair in love and war.

Honestly you can stop showing me benchmarks

I'm not going to plot my own graphs to prove the point I made, it really isn't necessary

The lads here knew exactly what I was saying. I also own the majority of cpu's I spoke about so know exactly how they scale in terms of overall performance.

Plus as good as the NV cards are I have 0 interest in owning one. That sir is why i'm posting in the Big Navi thread and not the NV one

Yea but look at it. It's hideous.

Your right, i also wont be seen with an Nvidia card - i will be getting a new RDNA2 card at somepoint when this 1080ti..... i mean Radeon fury 1080ti is on its last legs....

cough.

LOL at least I live my lies... Radeon 7 and all

Takes man with large balls to admit that.

What time with the custom cards be launching on the 25th?

Probably 14:00

All 12 of them will drop between 14:00 and 14:01

Lol yeah,

So realistically should I go for the 6800xt or wait out for an Nvidia card however long it will be as I want something that will be solid and not have any issues got no time for that

Go for the RX 6800 XT or if you wait, wait an additional year for the RX 7800 XT.

Yes, and bots will have hoovered them all up by 14:00:59. :rolleyes:

I'll see if I get one on Wednesday if not will have to wait

This is a GDDR6 issue/feature. Above a certain speed it begins to perform erro corrections.

I thought error correction was a new feature for GDDR6x only? Turing used GDDR6 like Big Navi and it didn't have error correction, unstable VRAM OC would just cause crashes.

I actually wish they didn't add error correction cause now its harder to tell if your OC is stable or unstable, you have to keep monitoring to see if you lose performance because your games don't crash, just run worse.

We are talking about a first class manufacturer here, on AMD video cards, error correction will give you lower fps. For a second class manufacturer like Nvidia, the crashes are ok. It happens on GDDR6x too.

Error correction has been on pretty much every amd card in some way since I can remember.

error correction sucks, you won't even realize 6 months later that your OC is degrading. AMD has historically had higher RMA rates than Nvidia, so I'm not surprised AMD would ask for error correction to reduce the number of RMA's coming in
