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.
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.

All depends on what you want to do.
6800XT is more powerful than the 3080 and overclocks have set a new standard in PC gaming with 2.6GHz+ OC averages on air, with the 6900XT about to break the record all over again next week. All of this on a better chip and a better process doing so more efficiently at less power.
So it just depends really. I love to tinker, I take apart my CPU's and GPU's and repaste before I even install them. I want to OC and squeeze every little ounce out of it and benchmark the shite out of it.
Since the 30xx basically can't OC/has little to no headroom, and once OC vs OC is taken into account the AMD cards win in just about every game in the 30 game test and even beats the 3090 as well, I'll get it. Gonna try for 6900XT but 0.1% chance I can get one.
I'm fine with chilling into January though until I can get one at MSRP which is cheaper than the less performing for me, 3080 offering.
DLSS is great, no doubt. It will be replaced by AMD's offering that is open source and heading to consoles, but that is still months away.
