I originally heard that it had 2080TI level of RT performance. At the time i thought it was acceptable. But now we are seeing greater than that performance. So it's starting to look like these cards are far more competitive in RT and absolutely explosive for raster. I can't wait for reviews. I want to see the power draw.
DLSS is a nice feature. But I can live without it, for the last year before DLSS 2.0 came out I was perfectly fine running games where I needed more performance at 1800p with TAA and Sharpening on my 4K display. Yes DLSS 2.0 is fantastic, but by the time it is widely adopted the games will be supporting AMDs variation as well I'm sure.
That and if their benchmarks hold true. If they are all AMD has to do is have one for me to buy.
Well...AMD did explicitly state that their availability would not begin until November 18th.
No one knows till they came out. As for blocks odds are anything from a major block maker will be so close in temps not to matter you buy the one you can get/ or like the look of. That said hk has never let me down ek is good but not the best Optimus had been making some good blocks form what I heard. Corsair stuff is nice if you want an ecosystem
At launch? No.
Yep, and people will cry because AMD doesn't have enough product. You can't fault AMD's planning because nvidia had a poor showing.
I think from AMD's wheelhouse there won't be any more "surprise" cards. They'll obviously introduce a mid-range line-up for the RX 6000 series but I doubt anything beyond that.
That maybe better if AIBs do that and AMD not having to take care of another high end skew. Now that is maybe the next bigger snow ball -> AIB cards.
Yep
Seems pretty likely for the AMD skews, not sure about AIBs.
6800 if benchmarks are to be believed will do 4k 70+ fps on max settings. But the difference in price is only $70 so I would almost always go 6800XT where as the 6800XT approaches 100fps+ in most games. Value wise the 6800XT is almost unbeatable especially if rumors about AIBs getting 2.3-2.4 GHZ overclocks out of them where it will almost match a 6900XT.
I'd go with the 6800XT for 4K for sure. Even if that's overkill for 4K60 max settings now, in a couple years it won't be. Whereas a vanilla 6800 that does 70fps @ 4K now might struggle to hit your vsync with next-gen games.
I am pretty sure this is going to happen for ref cards.
I believe that they do... but doesn't Sapphire produce the reference AMD cards anyways? So theoretically you can just get the same card purchasing from Sapphire... Hopefully these cards aren't sold out instantly on launch though...
Who ever has them, AMD, BestBuy, Newegg (only Newegg), Microcenter, Amazon (only Amazon).
But as I understand that these new announced on both sides are very capable with 4K, then why would I not want to run the game at 4K, but instead use DLSS on NVIDIA, or some equivalent on AMD sides
On some title if you want to run with all the options on at "4K" and still run close to 60 fps or if you want to run "4K" 120 fps on less demanding title, that is supposing that DSSL look better than native 1440p (or other available choice with the same performance) on your screen.
For an other example:
