The thread which sometimes talks about RDNA2

[XeNoNF50]

So why is Forza Horizon 4 so much faster than the 3080 on that slide compared to the normal one

And whay does the 6800 slides clearly include the footnote.

RIP to the guy who spent RX 6800 money on a 2080ti today in the MM.

Yeah the NV cult are holding up the DLSS and RTX fig leaves as a last line of defence.

Yep, this was super predictable behaviour from people with their head buried under Jensen's warm leather jacket, their snozz lovingly pressed up against the armpit wet patch of his shirt.

 

[KentMan]

I never said they'd be locked out, I simply said AMD have an eco system of their own, and NV sell you a card. That's just the facts.

Yeah sorry was in reference to muon who you was quoting

 

[thenewoc]

So I guess the question now is how close can an OC'd 6800 XT get to a 6900 XT since there only seems to be a difference of 8 CU's.

 

[Dnyeee]

I would 100% get an AMD GPU if 3D Renderers like Octane and Redshift worked with them....

 

[Tiny_D]

The best part is that this isn't even max performance. While Ampere is maxed out straight from the factory we know these can do 2.4 Ghz & more depending on the cooling. In reality the AIB vs AIB fight will be a BLOODBATH in AMD's favor!

Might actually watercool for the first time.

+1

I was thinking the same these things should overclock, unlike Ampere, BUT WAIT the Ampere has DLSS in 14 games sortta and if you enable RT you almost get 45f-60ps!! hahah

Dont you almost got me aroused ;-P (jk!!) but you did make me laugh.

 

[Darujhistan]

Thank you.
People act as if historically NVIDIA haven't done this before.


Similarly with DLSS and RTX, they're just proprietry NVIDIA features which will at some point find an adopted open standard and then NVIDIA slowly let them go.
PhysX, Gsync.. This is their DNA.

Yeah I have been tracking VRAM for the last 4-5 years just out of interest, AMD always matches or beats the competing card in this area.


Absolutely, I worry/care very little for the proprietary "fluff" either side comes up, and as you say they become standard in the end.

I haven't seen the full event

I understand the list of it but did amd hint anything about ray tracing or dlss competitors?

So I guess the question now is how close can an OC's 6800 XT get to a 6900 XT since there only seems to be a difference of 8 CU's.

Also the 6900XT will be some special binned units so there might not be much of an O/C left in them

 

[Teaf]

Guessing this was a typo from the stream? 6900 XT vs. RTX 3080?

 

[$ilent]

Im slightly confused about the pricing. AMD state $650 for 6800XT but techradar say this equates to around £500, now that might be the case if the conversion rate is true, however Ive never known the prices to work like that. Its always ended up being $500 in USA = £500 in UK. Can anyone shed any light on this? Have things changed recently?

About as close as overclocking the 6900XT that has the best quality binned parts so prob a better OC? O-o

 

[Woodsta888]

I find it odd that these 2 very seperate companies, manage to create cards, most generations that are near as makes no difference, identical in performance across eachothers stacks. Must be some spies in eachothers company that pass performance data or maybe they just are in cahoots!

AMD's availability on release will be an eye opener if good and maybe point to NVIDIA's jumping the gun on releasing but couldn't deliver enough to capitalize. They must've known what Big Navi could do. Nvidia fluffed it.

 

[Safetytrousers]

DLSS in what? 10 games?

14 currently and 25 games that have been confirmed including Cyberpunk 2077, Watchdog Legion and Vampire Masquerade.

 

[thenewoc]

That's what I mean, maybe with an 6800 XT overclocked the gap to a 6900 XT would be closed a fair bit.

Also probably wondering why they paid £1500 for a breeze block while AMD come in 50% cheaper with a 2.5 slot card that doesn't look like it came off a building site.

 

[SeeNoWeevil]

AMD have such an advantage going second and cherrypicking those games.

Gpu pricing has pretty much been $=£ for a while now, $649 will equate to about £630 over here. It's bs but just how it is.
