Don’t like the reviews that use SAM either. Shouldn’t publish performance based on a feature that requires you to buy a whole new CPU. Let’s go by performance regardless of what CPU you are running.
Please remember that any mention of competitors, hinting at competitors or offering to provide details of competitors will result in an account suspension. The full rules can be found under the 'Terms and Rules' link in the bottom right corner of your screen. Just don't mention competitors in any way, shape or form and you'll be OK.
so basically
Vr: the broken on amd
Dlss: non existent on amd
Ray tracing: bad performance on amd
Rendering: bad performance on amd
Ray Traced rendering: broken on amd and bad performance
These things all add up

I haven’t seen them all. I know PH is only showing SAM results though.Surely most reviews - at least the ones I've looked at - show both on and off?
For the raster rendering stuff, check Linus Tech Tips review, the 6900xt only performs like a RTX3060ti.
And if you enable ray traced rendering, the 6900xt like all RDNA 2 cards produces a very noisy image that can't then be used for any commercial purposes - any ray traced rendering looks like it's got the worst film grain known to man.
if you don't like Linus, you can also check out OptimumTech's channel as he also benches rendering because it's something he uses to make his youtube content and he flat out said he would not recommend the 6900xt/6800xt for rendering.

Where as last week I thought a rtx3080ti would be pointless, it's looking much more appealing as a viable product this week. Even if it's say 5% slower than the 3090, it would still be faster than the 6900xt and if priced right it would pretty much kill of any sales for the 6900xt that was already killed by how its performance can be matched by aib 3080/6800xt - I suspect most orders for the 6900xt is people just looking for a card, any card and hoping this new card might arrive faster than their order for an existing card
So where are these guys now then? When the RX6900XT was first announced saying?!?!?!
"WHOOOAAA!!!! THE RX6900XT IS AN RTX3090 KILLLER AND CHEAPER!!!!!! NVIDIA IS FINISHED!!!!!!FINNNNNIIISSSHHHEDDD!!!!!!"
They seem quiet now?
If you can get your hands on one that is. If NVIDIA launches this end of January, don't expect to get your hands on one till March/April at the very leastComplete agree. Very interesting times ahead. I imagine the rtx3080ti will cause a lot of buyers remorse who purchased this.
Not really. SAM comes with the RX 6000 series but needs a 5000 CPU to use it. DLSS doesn't have any such hardware requirements.SAM is a feature just like DLSS and raytracing? Remember it took nvidia nearly a year to get DLSS into any usable condition.
If anything, I thought it rather made the 3080 Ti pointless at £999. At these prices, you can expect users to be having 4k 120hz monitors and its barely 2% faster than a STOCK 3080 and lacks ray tracing and DLSS performance. I think NVIDIA will charge nothing short of £1100-£1200 for the Ti as MSRP now.Where as last week I thought a rtx3080ti would be pointless, it's looking much more appealing as a viable product this week.
