The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

[RavenXXX2]

I think all this Nvidia is dead stuff is a huge overreaction

They got no stock, less ram and now AMD is on par or faster and cheaper. They dead.

 

[NZXT30]

Bring on the price wars now.

 

[NathG79]

Thank god the 3080 was hard to get otherwise I'd have ended up with one. At £999, it would be rude not to get a 6900XT

Exactly my thoughts.

6900XT here I come.

 

[egraphixstudios]

6800XT benches were with Smart memory access
6900XT benches were with Smart memory access AND Rage mode on. So that's CPU assist AND auto overclocking right?

Really don't think the 6900XT is as good as the benches made it look.

Yeah true. But the price definately makes big diff.

 

[jonneymendoza]

£1600 for a 3090 or £1000 for a 6900XT, no choice.

End game

I'm not all that surprised that the new cards come with more memory than Nvidia's, they usually do. Very exciting product line-up... I'm not sure which one I'll go for but one of those three high-end cards in the video, that's for sure.

 

[TNA]

Have i redeemed myself?

Erm....

Ya why not!

Still won't forget about it though

You drove that hype train well this time

 

[wilchy]

Price drop incoming from the scalpers now too. Hope they loose out!!

 

[Dnyeee]

I know it depends on what CPUs the GPUs are paired with, but for instance the Modern Warefare framerates don't seem to be accurate for the RTX 3080? I've seen much higher FPS on various CPUs paired with it. I know these graphs are meant to show the best results from AMD, but I feel like a few of these are off.

 

[shadowbane]

I mean gonna have to wait for proper reviews to see what numbers they used and how good compared in RT but looks great, especially clever tying them into the CPU's

 

[Supernova]

Wished she would have mentioned the driver dept.
That's the only downside now.

Drivers driver drivers. They’re not an issue!

 

[Locky]

NVIDIA knew this was coming so they botch a release to try and get ahead but nothing was ready. It's all backfired now.

 

[subbytna]

I missed this! Damn... Where do they stack up alongside the Nvidia cards then? I have never owned an AMD card but I would consider it.

6900XT @ £999 versus 3090 at £1500 - same performance

 

[Satchfanuk]

What were the dates for the 6800 and 6800XT?

18th Nov for the 6800/xt

8th Dec for 6900xt



Edit: Fixed dates, got too excited

 

[JediFragger]

So pick, RTX horse power or 6GB of VRAM?

I chose and am glad to receive an FE tomorrow

 

[no_1_dave]

Glad to see AMD back in the game but remember 2 things:

1) No answer to DLSS
2) AMD have always over exaggerated performance numbers, wait for reviews.

I do believe Nvidia need to drop the price of the 3090 though lol

 

[Killer7xx]

I'm no AMD or NVidia fanboy, but those 6900XT charts are with Rage mode (so overclocked) compared with stock 3090

Even stock I think a saving of £500 would be worth the small gap in performance. There is 10-15% difference between a 3080 and 3090, 6900XT is likely only 5-10% away from a 3090 at worst.

 

[Smokey26]

So the 6800 is the 3080 competitor? Wonder what the UK price will be? Ill be buying one probably. IUve got a 2070S and only had it since March but id like a new card.

 

[Scrutinize]

With the console market too, it was clear from the presentation AMD will significantly benefit from the cross platform optimisations.

True to form, driver improvements over the coming months, coupled with the shared platform optimisations, will no doubt ensure a great long term gaming experience per £ and per W.

 

[phatboy]

I think whether overall they do end up faster / better than the NV offerings. The fact the AMD has finally stirred everything up so much is just great for the market.
