Under 4K resolution, 6800XT wins over 3080/3070 in most games. 4K goes to 3080 but it hits 10GB VRAM limit quickly so not good for 4K either, but 20GB variant back in the rumor mill lately for January at $999. AMD runs cooler with less power across the board thanks to the better chip and process.

Ray tracing Nvidia has a lead since it's been out for 2 years, but in a few months time will be about the same once the consoles start using it and we see that optimization advantage.

6900XT on the 8th will have less stock than 6800 had so good luck, monster card though.

All in all? Huge win for AMD, and the stock has hit over $92/s again.

The replies in this thread now have me somewhat glad that I’m just buying Carson’s prebuilt with the 3800X and plugging my 1070 in until I can decide what to do on processor/gpu.

Let’s me wait to see how intel does on next gen and let the dust settle on the new cards because all I’ve been getting from this thread and reviews is that “reasonable minds could differ” on the winner

Testing I have seen on real world rigs show them trading wins at 1440p for the most part. VR wise the 3080 is winning most. This generation I would go green with DLSS and RTX, I don’t see the consoles gaining them much ground this gen. I’d give red another generation unless the difference in price matters a lot to you. Red definitely made up the ground, hopefully this makes green push their design more and compete price wise in the future. It’s a good year for new PCs if we had the stock to actually build them lol. Still waiting on that 5900x or 5950x for my 3090.
