      We need to consider that there are many other mainstream games that haven't been tested, like Esport games, where AMD should shine,because u don't care about rtx effect there but raw fps, or just many other games, also they will probably improve performance,add new things with new drivers,software with time if i might guess.

    This is historic for AMD, I can't remember the last time they had a gpu that held at least parity with Nvidia's finest. And beating Intel at the same time. Wow. They've obviously got smart people working there, so makes you wonder how, at the same time they can come up with something as useless as Rage Mode.

Intel has three R&D teams working on current, next and the next after gen of CPUs, AMD can't afford that." Look where we are now.. what a time for PC enthusiasts.

However, when it comes to these newer titles at 4K....I don’t mind turning down settings in order to maintain 60fps but when I have to start dialing down my resolution scaling, on top of turning down graphics, then it’s time for me to upgrade. I was hellbent on getting a RTX 3080 too but it’s VRAM was a big concern for me. 11GB is barley getting me by as is *(In certain titles).* So thank you AMD for bringing an alternative. But if Nvidia does officially announce a 20GB 3080, I may just have to jump back on-board with the green team....depending on the price!

      After about a week playing on this 6800xt. Overclocking memory and undervolting is key to stability on this particular design. Rumor is it’s the same VRAM modules as 5700xt that are 1800mhz, these are already at 2000. I tried over clocking and it created stuttering. I left it at 2000, 1010mv, 2600 max - 2500 min Core clock. VRM set to fast timing and well all I can say is. She is a absolute under rated video card. This card makes my 2080s EVGA Black Gaming edition that is still water blocked look like a total POS. At this point in time for VR and all my Flat screen gaming. This card is a absolute dream… I run this on a OC’ed 10900k that is Mono-Blocked at 5.1ghz all core 1.34v LLC5 and crucial Ballistix 3600mhz CL16 32gig. Idk what I throw at this card that doesn’t stay locked at 144 fps 🤷‍♂️. My capture computer has a 5950x so when times is needed I’ll buy another Ryzen chip and throw the 6800xt in that. NOT SURE who AMD hired for their drivers and such but I LOVE THEM, last two months they been just blowing away numbers, reading forums and everything. Nvidia is sleeping and AMD on to something…

    People need to understand that just because they sell out instantly it doesn't mean its a paper launch.......
    the demand for GPUs now is HUGE, and FAR bigger than the demand has ever been in the history of GPUs.
    The 3000 series demand was 10x higher than 2000 series.
    No matter what you do, you can't make enough to meet the demand in time, the stock situation with the 6800xt will be around the same as it is with the 3000 series...
    Also people thought they would actually get one for RRP is also stupid

    Very glad to see AMD with a competitive GPU again! Very exciting stuff. I really wasn't expecting much, considering their GPU performance over the last eight or nine years. Hope to see them continue on this trajectory. If we can see the same iterative performance uplifts we've seen with Ryzen, AMD GPUs are on track to become VERY formidable.

      @@superblitz2274 I wouldn't say it's "terrible" value. It straight up matches the 3080 FE in some games and at worst it is only 10-15% less FPS vs 3080. If you want RTX, then yes, that value does diminish quite a bit, but what are your RT capable alternatives besides 3080? A $1500 3090 or a 3070/2080 Ti, which perform worse. In my opinion, based on the preliminary benchmarks I've seen, the 6800 (non XT) is going to be the best performance/value GPU for the time being.

      @@enrique6335 I mean, it is better now. Nvidia has had way more time in the oven when it came to software support and extra features. Which means they are going to find themselves more favorable in most titles even from just a driver standpoint. Kinda what happens when almost the entirety of the GPU market is just NVIDIA for multiple generations back-to-back. So for AMD to come in and offer equal to better raw performance against NVIDIA's high end gpu's means that they've made some serious improvements to their architecture.
      I've never been one to praise AMD's graphics department, but the 6800xt is absolutely solid competition to NVIDIA, and when almost every PC title doesn't support Ray-Tracing+DLSS, a lot of people are going to find that few hundred dollars in savings in their wallets a compelling option.
      Even right now, as GPU supply has started to ease up, the lowest a 3080 goes for is $850 compared to the 6800xt's $700. For a lot of gamers right now that need to get a system upgrade and don't want to wait for next gen to most likely be out of stock yet again, AMD is a great option for graphics cards. And I couldn't imagine myself saying that before RDNA 2. They did it with their CPU department. I never thought my 2020 build would feature an AMD processor and yet they continue to push competition forward. Which even if you don't like their products, there is no denying their competition has benefited performances across all CPU and GPU brands.
      I for one am very excited for AMD. I'm not a fanboy, and will absolutely criticize them just as I do for other brands, but they are really coming back in this market with their new leadership and that is very nice. I hope this progress for them continues as RDNA 3 launches between now and early next year.
