[@AndrianHendrawan]

@Nicks not the same

[@krazyfrog]

I wonder if the difference in color was due to the dynamic range setting. NVIDIA GPU default to the limited dynamic range preset over HDMI because the assumption is you're connecting to a TV while AMD GPU output the full dynamic range by default even on HDMI. Perhaps the capture card couldn't switch automatically based on this input.

[@allansh828]

I tested this before. They just look different.

[@TheBlackIdentety]

It is. You need to set "Dynamic range Full 0-255" under "Video color settings Advanced tab" in the Nv control panel. I've been doing this for over 10 years at every driver instal. Even asked on the Nvidia forum to set it to full range by default. They refuse to do it for whatever reason. It has no performance impact.

[@-pcmr-108]

@@TheBlackIdentety That is for videos only. Videos use codec color settings. Anything else falls under your Color tab which is set to windows default (which will detect the range of your GPU) stop perpetuating this nonsense. Just read what it says on the Video tab.

[@TheBlackIdentety]

@@-pcmr-108 No it's not. TechYesCity showed it has a major impact on color quality in games. Get your facts straight instead of trying to correct people smarter than you!

[@-pcmr-108]

@@TheBlackIdentety I don't care what TechYesCity said, you can open up the control panel and read the description yourself. The Color settings are under a different tab and are set by windows unless you change it yourself. The exact text is as follows 'Adjusting the VIDEO color settings will allow you to fine tune the color settings for the VIDEO CONTENT on your display. For best results, play a VIDEO while you make adjustments to view the changes as they happen' These have NOTHING to do with the natural colors on your screen, your color range, or video games. Its for encoding that is passed to the codec that reads the file. Its limited by default because most video content is recorded at the limited rate because at the time they were primarily played on TVs, which as I'm sure you know as your are apparently smarter, operate on the limited range of 16-235. And even now, with current drivers and the last couple years this is set to let the video player pick the settings. Very simply to figure out if you simply open up your control panel, slow down, read and comprehend. This whole color thing is dumb and over perpetuated by dumbasses that wont test it themselves. There is no color difference between the two anymore outside of color profiles (not ranges) that AMD sets when you first install their drivers. For me, it auto set to vivid, which can be mimicked on the Nvidia side if you adjust your color sliders under 'Adjust desktop color settings' (not Video settings like you're implying) to their proper values. And plenty of people corrected TechYesCity on this as well.

This is the clearest review yet. Everyone else's opinions and interpretations of results aligned about where you'd expect (e.g. HUB for AMD, Linus for Nvidia). Your review is the clearest at demonstrating the facts that there are good reasons to go for either team.

[@FirmB1ade]

The only good reason to go for AMD is if you don't care about ray tracing and never will till you change the card.

[@robertp457]

This video was also for NVIDIA. $50 isn't cheap enough to consider the AMD card if and when both become available.

[@mr.almezeini647]

See i am not a big Ngreedia fan. But the dlss, ray tracing(marketing bullshit i know), cuda, and render/recording features are just too good imo. Until AMD comes up with their own compelling features. I don't like to say it but i think Ngreedia is better for now at least... hopefully AMD can make up the difference soon

[@rando843]

I sort of care about DLSS but ray tracing at this stage is just a gimmick. Like don't get me wrong it does look good but it's way too early for it to be worth the huge performance penalty imo (and sure DLSS helps with that but I find it dumb to get better lighting just to then turn around and make the whole image blurrier for it to be playable) And given that I care way more about Linux than RT, AMD is an easy win, given the absolute garbage Nvidia drivers on Linux

[@OrcCorp]

Thanks for the review! 👌🏽😉 As always, amazing work! So it seems I now got the best mix of both worlds, as a gaming content creator: An AMD 5800x CPU (which I just got yesterday) with an RTX 3080 (4k rendering in Premiere Pro with 3080 is super fast, although for some reason limited to 40Mbps). I was looking into AMDs new GPUs, as I've heard the benefit of having a new AMD CPU with a new AMD GPU is great, but after this review, I'm not giving up on my RTX 3080. I absolutely need that Nvidia Share recording (been using it ever since it was introduced in 2012 when I got my GTX 680), and I love the DLSS.

[@elenfoiro78]

It's more the result of a node difference (8nm vs 7nm) and also a difference in the expectations of what next gen titles will require. NVIDIA focused on high bandwidth requirements and high number of rendering features, AMD bet is high poly count limited features. So if games scenes becomes more complex and RT more employed, the 3080 will increase it's lead.

[@coolvinay]

Perfect on the spot conclusion! 3080 overall is a well rounded card (apart from the vram issue). DLSS, RT, Better driver support, RTX voice and Compute is definitely worth considering if you are planning to stick with the same card for the next 3 years(yes you might have to redce the the textures slightly at 4k in future titles). AMD is on the early drivers for RT and if they can improve the RT performance some more and have a DLSS equivalent, then its a better choice. Whether you care for RT or not, future games will have RT and will definitely look better with it on.

[@coolvinay]

@Thomas B 25% of all games or 75% of famous games we play will have it. Most modern games worth playing will come with RT for sure now that RT is already baked into many game engines.

[@BuffaloWarrior7]

Thanks for covering so much in only 12 minutes. Also brining up the broken recording on AMD side is huge. I have an rx 480 8gb card and it's been an awesome value. But I've been missing out on CUDA and Shadowplay for almost a decade. So I'm going with an RTX 3070.

@ amd is working on a dlss alike this is the only technology worth it imo. But lets not forget amd is only on their first generation of RT and Dlss and seeing how they improve their technology each year nvidia better be careful because amd is really not that far

[@entropy7571]

I just don't see why one would want a 6800xt, unless you game exclusively at 1440p, and you also have a ryzen 5000 cpu. Even then, the SAM advantage will soon be gone, and you'd be stuck with a worse performing card for years, because more and more games will have RT, going forward. The 16gb vram advantage is questionable, given how the 6800xt is worse at 4k pretty much across the board, and especially in flight simulator, which was supposed to be pushing vram usage past 10 gb

[@johnramsey8712]

Both great cards with lots to offer. But when you consider the price to performance or price to features aspects, the RTX is the better option. If you can afford a GPU at this price point, you can afford the extra $50. I think AMD needs to lower the price to really steal the show. Unless you’re an AMD fanboy or you only play/use AMD optimized stuff, I don’t see anyone honestly saying “yeah I’d rather get the AMD card”. That’s just how I feel, I may be wrong tho.

[@Uncle_Troy]

I think AMD has won the graphics cards war by offering one of the greatest 1440p video cards ever seen when 1080p and 1440p are still considered to be the predominant resolution that gamers still play at. NVIDIA chose a poor time to try to get ahead of the curve and attempt to offer smooth 4K gameplay when high refresh rates and IPS panels are all the rage right now.

[@treefiddy727]

Yeah I don't get why everyone is talking about 4k performance now like 1440p suddenly fell out of favour especially when 1440p is the supposed 'sweet spot'. 4k high refresh still isn't there and a good 4k gaming monitor costs more than the GPU. But I would take either of these GPUs and be satisfied

[@paulpak1]

Another fantastic video. One thing I'll share after using my 6800xt for a few days is that you can solve the game clip recording issues (i.e. AMD Relive issues) by changing the "Video Encoding Type" option within the General Settings of the Radeon Software (just scroll down to the recordings section) from AVC (default) to HEVC. HEVC is a more modern codec which has better quality and half the size. I noticed zero performance hit when using this codec as the card supports this type of encoding in hardware. So why would AMD not enable this by default? Well, when you select HEVC, Windows 10 won't have it, so it asks you if you want to purchase the codec from the MS Store for $0.99 (99 cents USD). It's only a buck and totally worth it if you like recording HQ game clips. I'm sure there are other ways to implement the HEVC codec as well. You'll also probably want to bump up the recording resolution, fps, and bit rate in addition to the codec to capture really high quality video. It's all standard stuff that you'd do with Nvidia cards as well. Regardless, once enabled, I get gameplay capture performance equal to that of the NVENC on my 2070 Super that I upgraded from and all is well. Best of all, no more corrupted videos, at least in my case.

I turned off all of the Radeon Chill, antilag, Radeon boost, toggled freesync, Eyefinity features.

ALSO to add to this comment: DLSS is glitchy, images pop in RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY EYES. and everything else is blurry. Theres even halos around objects and shit with raytracing on. DLSS in BLOPS cold war is not horrible, but the entire game is sub-par for optimization. Your correct its bad.

[@elenfoiro78]

DLSS 2 on control in quality mode gives you nearly identical image quality. You may have tried performance settings to see any difference. You should watch the digital foundry's video dedicated to DLSS on Control that totally contradicts your opinion.

Nice review mate, great channel u got here. Also shocked that recording thingy is still bugged on my 2x 290 it was a mess and its still a mess lol

Definitely agreed on it being worth the extra $50. The issue is finding any 3080s at $699, most are in the high 700s to mid 800s these days. Seems very few available at MSRP.

[@_sqrrl3299]

No dlss, no recording games, poor ray tracing performance and especially the less vibrant colours really killed the card imo!

[@BAdventures]

Thanks for testing with DaVinci Resolve. Great review 👍

[@Numeriwar]

NVidia has won again

[@AmirlanTV]

As always, good quality content! Keep up your style. Truly love it!

[@iDTecKt]

Why does the AMD card look so washed out?

[@Techno4more]

This is a big concern of mine. Might be a game breaker for me

[@PHOBIAx57x]

It’s usually the other way around.

[@sebleaf8433]

Wdym?

[@LiveType]

My answer: some settings probably weren't enabled. It could be that by default AMD now washes out colors for slightly increased bandwidth compared to Nvidia that seems to have done away with that by default as the gpu now has plenty of bandwidth compared to pascal/maxwell. But again, more likely it's a settings thing as Nvidia cards used to get this reputation because people couldn't be bothered to change a setting. From my own experience, AMD cards usually have a punchier image by default unless you go in and fiddle with Nvidia settings. Sort of hilarious if it's now reversed.

[@VelcroSnake93]

I've seen some people in the comments saying this is something that can be adjusted in the Radeon software.

[@baltimoreace]

Your my go to now for the DaVinci comparison. Thanks again

[@AmpedUpTech]

RTX3080 has more features. 🤷

[@alwanammarzaki535]

bruh buy what you need.If nvidia feature actually usefull for you that good. Fature ain't mean nothing if you not even using it.

[@AmpedUpTech]

@HeartXFrost For Streamers the NVENC encoder really comes in handy and Adobe has recently added GPU acceleration (which takes advantage of NVENC encoder) in Premiere Pro which literally rivals the software encoding when it comes to video quality at a slight quality loss where as AMD's VCE encoder is literally trash not to mention how fast you can export videos if you have RTX3070/3080/3090.

[@AmpedUpTech]

@@alwanammarzaki535 I agree. 6800XT is not a bad GPU if you would be only gaming but if you are getting more features for just $50 more with equal or slightly better performance in games, going with RTX3080 is a no-brainer. It all boils down to which GPU you can find online to purchase after all as both GPUs would be gone before you blink. 😅

[@RicoKen2000]

So many of the AIB cards 3080 3070 6800xt 6800 are looking like: 11 inch plus, triple fan cards. My itx case was designed for the previous, 2 fan - 275mm/10.8 inch cards. ie: evga 2080ti sc2 Both 3070 FE & Release 6800xt products are under 270mm but produced for limited time ...when card supply eventually evens out, only AIB cards will be shipping :(

[@ProMace]

"AMD RX 6800 XT Review - The RTX 3080 Killer?" No.

[@ThreeWrap]

Great video as always man, your video editing is second to none

[@OTGSCOOTGAMES]

Fantastic review 👍🏻💯🔥Would love to get an AMD card but shadow play is a must + cuda for my usage. To buy list for me will be RTX 3080.

[@unchartedrocks1]

Found this channel & i have say these vids are informative & well edited.

[@Hermanbey]

When you look at the total power consumption: 6:52 it seems like you can run a 3090 with a good 650 watt psu right? like the nzxt h1 case which has the 650 psu?

[@hokopl]

Yes, You can but it better be minimum gold certified, plus PSU efficiency and lifespan is the best at 50% load, so You should be aiming for much higher wattage and something really good, like Seasonic

[@mdrumt]

Awesome intro! Thank you for the review, New subscriber here 🙏

[@shanetapp]

Very cool video, thanks for putting this together. One thing that would be interesting to see is the same tests on a bench running one of the new AMD 5000 series chips and taking advantage of the Smart Access Memory.

[@jimstirling7223]

Excellent review much appreciated

[@PeakyClimber]

Great work, keep it up! Highly professional tech channel.
