The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

Awesome I hope that 3080s are nice and cheap come next year.

My 5700xt will hit 2075 to 2100 in game, with a mild under clock.

Hoping these will easily hold 2200 approaching 2300.

Some early AIB leaks have them averaging 2300.

Stock is a major factor obviously, but for me what we've seen today means we now have two very competitive choices. Its not a no brainer to cancel the 3080 orders assuming the stock is coming, but its great that they trade blows with each other and you can now pick what brand/features you prefer without any real compromises.

Did you take into account that the 6800 benches uses the Smart Access Memory (4-13% uplift on the 6800XT) and the 6900XT benches use both that & Rage mode?

w/o SCM






With SCM




SCM was used in the 6900xt tests results which had a caption saying it was used along with Rage.

Ok so who was closest on pricing?

And who can guess the # cancelled 3080 queues now?

Ahem... I do believe I said the top sku 1k. - Don't make me go find the post

 

[RavenXXX2]

wow AMD beating out Nvidia in its poster child Doom.

 

[SDK^]

Okay, so do I go for a 3070 tomorrow or wait for the 6800 to launch?

Sorry you have to get all three within $10 to win.

Humbug has been correct for a year in that thread it’s just that no one was listening.

Sounds perfectly sensible to not take guesswork seriously. Internet points for being right but no one was going to put money on it.

Who makes these rules? I shall not accept.

Assuming you can live without the money, go for the 3070 to secure a spot and then cancel it if you change your mind in the following weeks

By the sounds of it, you need a 5000 CPU, to get the best out of them, so that makes the 6800XT, starting at nigh on £900, assuming you already have an AMD board, you can just drop the CPU straight into, if not, then as well as the CPU, you'll need the mobo etc... as well, pushing it even higher.

lol

Looking forward seeing the 6800xt partner cards boost clocks

RAGE mode on!

Not sure you can make that argument just yet. Not until you see how they perform head to head with nv on an intel system.

Lol.
The flip side of course is he's spent the last 5 years being wrong about AMD's GPU's lol.

This is the first time the hype has been close to accurate for an AMD GPU launch (As frankly, while it's clear AMD are on to a winner as far as performance goes, it's not the "smackdown" people are hyping it to be, or by that token we'd seen Nvidia's 2070 Super was smacking down the 5700XT etc etc)

 

[Doobedoo]

You must not be married.

No I’m not. Even so we both earn our own money and are free to spend it as we choose.... As long as she approves .

 

[chrcoluk]

Buildzoid admitted he will get the 6900XT for that 3% performance gain , but fair play to him he said its a bad buy vs the 6800XT, like the 3090.

I am glad AMD is looking competitive again in the GPU front, but these prices will be gouged as well sadly
