Denial:

3090 has 8 more GB of VRAM.
Yet it doesnt walk off into the sunset with the title

AMD TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just finished watching it, I am literally blown away, I hope it really does live up to it's expectations after the "real" performance reviews.

So, no word on RT performance. That's not a coincidence. A 6800XT with much worse RT performance than a 3080 for 50$ less isn't that appealing to be honest. As expected, we'll have to wait for more charts, from independent reviewers. The 6900XT is another story. Even with half the RT performance compared to a 3090, we're talking 500$ here.

Why please explain they have a card that equals and beats the 3090 with less power for hundreds less and its too expensive, you must be either a fanboi or delusional
I mean he may also argue the 3090 is overpriced too.

Compared to RTX 3090? What if you crank 6900XT to power limit of 3090?
Then you sir gain a free heater 😀

$999 is perfect price. Trades blows with a 3090 which costs $1500!! COMPETITION IS BACK BABY!!!!

Undying:

I was hoping for 500$ rx 6800 that would be amazing.
That will be 6700 (XT?) @ 449 probably, still beating 3070, with presumably 12 GB memory.

Nvidia seems to have done us all a favor with such garbage availability. I'll be grabbing a 6800XT or 6900XT. Will wait for reviews. Thank you to Nvidia, scalpers, horrible lack of bot prevention and eBay.

Soooo pricing on these are... Weird? Definitely lower than Nvidia but I still think these are a little high. These are cool but I'm more interested in seeing mainstream rdna2 products.
I think prices are fine. If those are high, Nvidia are higher? We still need to see what the 6700XT will be priced. For now you have a 570 option that is better than the 500 option of the 3070, by a good margin ( in theory ). If the 6700XT is priced at 440 at is like the 3070, is a win/win

Now I have an issue.... I can get a 6900XT but then I need to spend money on a freesync monitor which I also don't want to do yet as i'm waiting for good hdmi 2.1 to come out

6800XT at £600 is fine, hopefully the reference card is decent, not looking for marked up AIB cards. The 6900XT isn't worth the extra $$$ imo.

Also do not forget that Radeon prices usually keep steady, while nvidia for some reason blown up.

NO DLSS alternative, no RT performance graphs ... kinda sad :-(

Had hoped 6800 was 100USD cheaper but I guess it's not possible with 16GB VRAM. So, upgrade happens next year.

Rip NVidia. Rip Intel. Now the final touch could be improved drivers w/more features. AMD has won.

Gonna need some serious third party benchmarks with those charts all being done : " + rage mode + smart access memory " Otherwise looking great, hyped for all those new GPU !

Yep, no way I'm looking to save £50 and buy a 6800xt. DLSS 2.0 is just way too good. Still, good to see AMD at least putting up a fight.

The hype before was , that with performance it blows Nvidia away. I have not seen that. It closely matched them. Sure price is cheaper , but i dont mean that argument right now.
