Anyone planning to buy the RX 6900 XT, rather than RTX 3080?

Lets hope someone does a bios mod to drop those 2.8 and 3ghz locks, also the memory could go higher on the 6800 and 6900 as its artificially locked down as well is it not?

Is that due to error correction or something else? Wonder if the supposed XTX varient will have GDDR6x in addition to gobs more core frequency to deal with the 3080ti when Nvidia eventually makes 5 of them :p

Yes you get the error correction around 2150 so your performance will decrease. But i think a 6900xt with 3x8 pins will beat the 3080ti anyway.

The RTX3080 has reached 0.47% market share in the December 2020 survey.

Based on the number of steam users, this puts the RTX3080 at over 500k steam users

So what your getting at is nvidia's pathetic launch was a bit better than amd's pathetic launch. Well, good to know that little bullet point has been checked off, waxing your carrot to that fact doesn't make getting either for msrp any easier.

If i'm not mistaken navi 21 will get a bios flash tool soon. For now on testing by igor's lab forum members. Which means better 3dmark scores on the way for both 6900xt,6800xt&6800.

Even in the designed for AMD neon noir bench that use software based rayvtracing running on compute units has a big advantage on RTX3000 due to its massive amount of cores
