Remember most of the 18games average 4k results or whatever are done without SAM. So it probably could match the 3080 or pass it in many games with it enabled...if you have the right system ofc.

Tbf I can't even fault mine running on an overclocked Intel system, it's all butter!

I'd say what you have is the ideal resolution for the card in terms of image quality vs framerate. Plenty left in the tank for the 6800xt there.

First thing I thought was like some terrible tuber benchmarks, maybe five years ago... not saying people dont play that res but plenty of mid and low tier cards can handle that res, the high end cards should be focusing on 1440p and up.
SAM is not limited to AMD though, and may even benefit Nvidia more as they use faster VRAM.
There's zero points available from a theoretical claim of a feature that doesn't exist for Nvidia users.
It doesn't matter how fast you VRAM is when PCIE speed is the bottleneck.
There's a lot more to transferring data than just the transfer.
I am specifically addressing your statement. If you know something about how a GPU with GDDR6x can transfer data to a CPU faster than a GPU with GDDR6 over PCIE 3/4 feel free to share it with the rest of us.
Well it's over PCIE 4 to start with and I said Nvidia may benefit more due to faster VRAM. Now I am assuming that it won't be all sent in one transfer and so not only does it require the initial request and all the handshaking that requires but many buffered batches, each having to interrupt to some extent what is going on with VRAM access on the GPU itself before the storage of data. Now if Nvidia can store that data faster due to having faster VRAM then the transfer is going to take less time. Hence Nvidia may benifit more from SAM than AMD.
Of course this is without any research at all into how SAM works, but simply based on past experience of coding data transfers between systems.
Maybe it's easier to think about the difference in copying a file from one location to another and compare that copy with the destination being a HD and another destination being a SSD. It's the same copy and the same hardware, just the storage is different.

So you entire argument hinges on GDDR6x being able to store that data faster during instances were there are heavy data request happening on the VRAM?

I thought that myself tbh, am max'ing a few of my current games out easily.
Of course.
Isn't that highly situational?
Also as percentage of the total time, how long is spent storing and retrieving data? (I'm assuming that work done will scale with larger data) More or less than 15%.
SAM is not only coming to Intel and Nvidia,but also to Zen2:

6800 XT from Powercolor looks impressive to be fair.
I don't like it. The Sapphire looks better overall - Sapphire Radeon RX 6800 XT Nitro+ Review | TechPowerUp
That power colour looks mighty fine. The clocks are a bit suacy aswell
