nice cards, but i don't even see the need to upgrade right now with how the gaming industry is. everything is trash tier. i'm not excited for a single release that's been announced. looking at steam store is like looking at a car accident in slow motion. when the industry wakes up and realizes it's almost 2021 and produces some games worthy of being excited about.. then i'll upgrade lol. not even mad about supply, mostly laughing at the ppl who are crying about wanting these cards and 3000 series just to play among us and phasmaphobia lmao.

Great video. 4K is still a bit of a Unicorn IMO but I guess there are some owners out there. I wonder how Raytacing on future DX12 will fare. There was no AMD RT Cores available to devs to test I imagine given that it takes years to make a game. They would have only had nVidia RT available to implement and test with? Can't wait for the 6700XT vs 3060 battle. Please be under 400. This 600+ card BS really is getting old IMO. I feel like I am watching comparisons between McClaren vs Farrari at these price points TBH.

This is the first time I think HUB Steve has missed the mark a bit. RTX and DLSS are becoming vastly more relevant tech, and NVIDIA's encoding/streaming/recording features are miles above AMD, not to mention the AI stuff. The 6800XT being class leading isn't very compelling at its price point IMO. Still an excellent card, but since you're spending that much, the little extra to reach the 3080 is very much worth the insane bump in features and RT performance, no matter how niche the use case is.

ah yes competition you love to see it. thanks for the thorough work again GN very much appreciated I am kinda gutted the ray tracing performance isn't better if they could've been a slight shade behind Nvidia there it could've been a very spicy competition still well done team red never thought after last gen they would've improved so much look forward to big d ck Navi in December under a pot could it have a potential top spot in the HOF?? exciting times lol

I have a 4k monitor and a 144hz monitor as well. I would surely get the 6800xt even over the 3090 since I love playing high FPS games at 1080P At 4k even 60FPS will do just fine since i'm not looking for high FPS but rather a fun time with a good game.
In anotherwords 6800xt really won for me big time and it's also much better at smoother fps

Well best of luck for anyone trying to get one of these today. As always, thank you Gamers Nexus for your unbiased review. As a 4K gamer who is interested in ray-tracing, I'll continue to wait for a 3080. I also am curious how these new AMD cards will perform in VR vs nVidia. You can bet your butts I'm gonna snag a 5900x when I can, though!

So to sum this up, AMD is targeting below 4k with this card. I'm OK with that. Those are impressive numbers and with an OC going beyond a 3090 at those lower resolutions is damn impressive for a single generation leap. I do like the lower power consumption being lower though. Thats always in the back of my mind.

So for rasterization performance we now have a choice... at least if GPUs from AMD or nVIDIA were available for reasonable prices at all. Based on nVIDIAs behavior last generation it's probably the best solution to wait for the super cards with more video memory before getting a new GPU.

2 cards unobtainable through normal means makes me very salty at wondering whats the point of benchmarks if you cannot even get them by next year i will just forget about it also may as well go nvidia since their engineering has proven to be way more reliable than amd if i got to wait

I am getting a RX 6800XT next year when more cards come out and better drivers are out. I am using a GT 1070Ti at this time. I like on the AMD card it has got 16Gb ram this will give longer life. The RTX 3080 with only 10Gb ram for that cost is bad.
