    Looking for feedback: 6900xt vs 3080

    I don't play FPS games (or recent AAA games) only because my 980ti can't play them in ultra/max settings. I do play Total War Warhammer2 which can look ok/bearable in medium settings. but ultra settings and it'll be quite slow. I'm guessing Warhammer3 will make it even slower.
