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.

Indeed. Take it all with a pinch of salt and wait for real reviews.
Looks promising still, though.

I want to see RT benchmarks before I cancel my 3080 order.

Same. These look like great cards for legacy games, but at the cost of next gen RT.

Doesn't need to be at $999 tbf.

And all 3 have 16GB VRAM? damn son

Makes sense as all next gen consoles with RDNA2 have 16GB vram, and the fact a Ryzen 5000 has direct access to GPU memory removes one of the largest barriers in pc gaming hardware currently.

They won't.

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

Rage mode and smart access memory on.....no RT.

Cherry picked results.

Is this your first gpu launch or something? Obviously the results are going to be "cherry picked". Even at that the results they showed they're not ahead in all of them.

Matty8787 · 28 Oct 2020 at 16:33

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.

isnt the 3070 a little slower than the 6800?

It is indeed. Quite a bit slower in some games. Hence why the rumours of Nvidia about to dump a 3070ti out there might be true,

Killer7xx · 28 Oct 2020 at 16:33

AMD just crapped on the 3090. £500 less for 8GB less VRAM, 50W less TDP and only a handful of FPS behind.

Those with 3090 pre-orders should probably think about cancelling, they might not even receive them by Nov 18th anyway.

yes. and mostly on console ported games.

Stick some RT and then we can judge it.

3080 still on order here.

Dec 8 for 6900XT you are kidding right lol

I made this for a laugh last year...looks like it's even more accurate now

When's your next train arriving @humbug ?

Troezar · 28 Oct 2020 at 16:33

Curious to see how they work with the 5000 series CPUs.

FxUK · 28 Oct 2020 at 16:33

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

Price ofc, is a different story. Good to see some competition on both GPU/CPU fronts.

A good reveal all told, people doubted they could get to this level of performance. I expect a big sale of humble pie over the next day or so

Yeah, only gonna compete with 3070 or only 15% faster than 2080ti

That turned out to be absolute ******

2Thumbs · 28 Oct 2020 at 16:33

This has certainly put the cat among the pigeons! :cool:

Now people know why the 3080 was priced at £650 and not £1k.

LOL no, £650 minimum, with "stock shortages" and "exchange rate difficulties" factored in

I did say msrp rather than "modified due to exchange rate, brexit, Gibbo's magic 8 ball adjusted" price.....

opethdisciple · 28 Oct 2020 at 16:33

So 16GB across the line up then?

The 6800XT looks good. But I have a Gysnc monitor. :/

not minded to cancel my rtx3080 yet - will take RTX over the extra 6gb of memory

but very impressed with the big navi pricing

Same situation here mate

Freddie1980 · 28 Oct 2020 at 16:33

There was a lot of information in that presentation and I'm not sure where to start. AMD certainly managed to keep a tight lid on the SAM technology which looks very interesting, it will certainly encourage people to buy an all AMD system but it makes me worry that AMD will not be so shy when it comes to anti competitive practices going fowards.
