Why is a 6900 series competing against a 3080 series? It should be 3090 series, and since XT, it's the 3090 Ti

[@hoverbike]

weird choice. a 3080 non-ti would've performed within 2-5% of a 3080 ti, and would've been 500$ cheaper. the performance results would largely remain unchanged, while the 3080 would appear as a better deal.

@@pcmasterracetechgod5660 The problem is that the RX 6800 wasn't competent at 4K which means it can't be the best card of the generation. The RX 6900 XT is only 8% faster than the 6800 XT (which puts them in the same performance tier) but cost hundreds more. OTOH the RX 6900 XT is a full 22% faster than the RX 6800 which puts it two true tiers higher. There's also the fact that the RX 6800 XT was a BETTER VALUE than the RX 6800. Don't believe me? The RX 6800 XT was only 12% more expensive than the RX 6800 but was 14% faster. The MSRP of the RX 6800 XT was $649 while the RX 6800 was $579. Value doesn't normally increase with price, it decreases but the RX 6800 XT really bucked that trend.

The RX 6000 series was the most competitive AMD lineup since the R9 200s era. AMD could compete even at high end while offering more VRAM. Meanwhile, on the RX 8000 series, AMD wont even have a high end option...

[@Flyon86]

I think it's fine really as long as the 8000 series provide good value. If they lean into being the good value option for people on the low-mid end (which Nvidia basically doesn't care about anymore) then they can increase their market share.

[@ronchum5178]

@@NoThisIsntMyChannel At least the top end will be 64 CU's. Less than id prefer from a monolithic dye since the 6900xt had 80 CU's and was still monolithic, but better than stopping at 40 CU's like they did last time they skipped the high end.

If they make a gpu a bit stronger than a 4070 ti super for 500 or stronger than 4080 super for 600 then i'd say they got a shot as long as they release em this year

I think he's been giving Nvidia an upper hand in this serious, but the fix to that isn't giving AMD the upper hand. The 3080ti is 2 entire GPU's below the best, the 3090ti, while also having not the best AMD GPU the 6950xt. Based on a lot of reviews, and tomshardware GPU hierarchy, the 6950xt and 3090ti are basically tied at 1440p.

[@AvroBellow]

@@pcmasterracetechgod5660 Oh I don't agree with that assessment at all. I think that the RX 6800 XT would destroy the RX 6900 XT in this competition. The RX 6900 XT is about 8% faster than the 6800 XT but 54% more expensive. The RX 6800 XT is the card that he should have used. Incidentally, it would've been appropriate because there were two cards above the RX 6800 XT just like there were two cards above the RTX 3080 Ti. The RTX 3090 and RTX 4090 Ti were the top GeForce cards while the RX 6900 XT and RX 6950 XT were the top Radeons. In fact, I would go so far as to say that the RX 6800 XT is the ONLY card that is a worthy opponent for the GTX 1080 Ti. Its performance and value are just incredible.

I don't think he has a 4080 or a 7900xtx. I mean, he has a 7900xt, but I don't think that would be a fair comparison since the xtx started out 200$ cheaper at 1000$. Plus, the 4090 was more popular and performant than the 3090, so it's more arguable for that to be Nvidia's entry.

This is literally one of, if not the most disappointing video on this channel. Almost like it was for the thesis about radeon supremacy. In this segment it's not fair to skip rt performance. It's also not fair to skip upscaling topic, where geforce is much better. And last but not least, this is basically the 4070/4070s segment. It's still far from being obsolete. Your games choice should go until today and beyond.

[@thatzaliasguy]

After 2 founder 3080Tis failing on me, going through the RMA, Nvidia admitting manufacture defect with cheap MLC capacitors, and then only offering me a _partial refund,_ I ditched Nvidia and snagged a 6950XT in summer of 2022 and have been loving AMD since. Ray Tracing is entirely useless in gaming still, as it's still in its infancy, and will be for at least 5 more years. So RT performance disparity between Nvidia and AMD ignored, AMD is far greater cost-to-performance; and for those gamers switching en-mas to Linux, Driver support is still years ahead of Nvidia.

Anyone that's kept up with PC hardware over the past few years know that AMD is now competitive or even ahead in raster performance, while Nvidia goes and focuses more on other features. So in raw performance per dollar, AMD has been known to be ahead on that front, but the actual comparison now between the two is... blurred, if other factors are taken into account. It's less straightforward, really. Also, the argument of driver stability between the two, for whatever that might be worth.

When I had seen all the reviews about the 3080ti, I put it out of my mind and didn't think I'd get an Ampere series card at MSRP. As Cyberpunk, Metro Exodus and RE 3 Remake taxed my poor GTX 970, it was time for an upgrade. I visited Microcenter and ended up picking an EVGA 3080ti open box on extra sale for 3080 MSRP + tax. That was honestly the best decision and I don't regret it. There were 6900 XTs as well and as much as I would have enjoyed the extra VRAM, I think the DLSS benefit has been fantastic.

I can barely be bothered to play games any more but am a gear slut so here I am... Kingdom Come Deliverance, despite some jank, was well worth my very limited gaming time. A gem. Thanks for yet another solid video

[@1Grainer1]

Ghostwire Tokyo hiccups could have been Denuvo related, since it was added later, just before DLC, and we all know what Denuvo did to village before it was removed

[@Gamingandlorewithricky]

I love this series and because of it I bought a vega 56, I didn’t even know about it and now I love it.

[@facelessvaper]

I just got a used sapphire nitro+ OC RX6800 to replace the RX 5600 XT. It's all relative😶‍🌫✌

[@peptoyo]

I never got any slow downs in Odyssey on my GTX 1080 that were noticeable without some kind of monitoring.

[@IgoByaGo]

I had a Power Color Red Devil 6900XT I got for $1100 when it came out at Micro Center. I upgraded to a 4090, but that 6900 is still a beast. It is in my friend's PC.

[@Boba_Fett1980]

Anyone know which i should get ? Im saving up, the 6900 xt has worse ray tracing but i have a 1080p 165 hz monitor, and i assume on that it would acrually have good ray tracing peformance probably better than my 3060 ti, i plan to stay on 1080p for a few years

[@zhayward3190]

Considering heaps of people were comparing the 6900XT to the 3090 in other videos i was already expecting the 6900XT to beat the 3080ti

[@dirkjewitt5037]

This is why I still love my rx6950xt.

[@pokepokepoke64]

3080 ti owner here, I paid $550 (more than I would’ve liked) about a year and a half ago now but I got probably the single coolest model, the palit gamerock which is impossible to find in the USA

[@MoPaTography]

Any thoughts on the AMD RX 6950XT Vs 6900XT?

[@ooringe378]

The 6950XT is 5 to 10% faster and draws a bit more power, the 6900XT would also never match the 6950XT since the 6950XT has faster memory. If buying brand new or if not much more expensive go for the 7900GRE, I would also opt for a 7800XT over a 6900XT and possibly even a 6950XT if around similar price, you would always want to go for the latest generation even if a little slower because of extra features support and power characteristics, they will also be better geared for future games while being fast enough already for older games. If going used there is also the 6800XT, its not much slower than the 6900XT and can be had for cheaper, the 6800XT has fewer active cores with around 95% the performance of the 6900XT. Basically: 7900GRE > 6950XT > 7800XT = 6900XT > 6800XT

[@jayb2705]

The 6900XT was a welcome return to form after many years of not getting close to Nvidia's top cards. However, the real "goats" of that generation were the 6800XT and 3080, which gave you most of the performance of the top cards at a fraction of the price. If covid and crypto didn't disrupt prices, those two were probably the last time high end gaming was relatively affordable

[@Constantineopulos]

I bought the 7800xt a few months after it came out. Best GPU I've ever used.

[@KingLamink]

Bought a 6900xt over a 3080 back when they released, and it was an absolute monster. Probably mu favourite card I've ever owned

[@snapcount321]

What this video has shown me is that almost every game that I want to play is from before 2023 or a good port of a pre-2023 console release. Nvidia's biggest problem might be that fewer people want to play the latest AAA output (see especially the last two big Star Wars games)

[@juanme555]

The 2020's have certainly been an interesting decade thus far...

[@Sundayinthelife]

I just bought a 6900xt on eBay for $300 and am very happy about it

[@Nintenboy01]

IMO, DLSS is truly a major advantage for the Nvidia cards. Then the better RT performance and energy efficiency are the cherries on top

[@berydriver2574]

i have a rog 6900xt with water cooler should i change the 6900xt into 3080ti ? nvidia graphics are way more better than the amd graphics in renderimg almost 2 times in 3080ti and the 6900xt

[@rch5395]

Didn’t Nvidia make 90 class cards before titans?

[@interrobangings]

Sssorta, they were all dual-chip GPUs. The 3090 was the first single-chip GPU that was classed as a -90 tier.

[@rch5395]

​@DDRWakaLaka, oh, that explains why they stopped.

[@interrobangings]

​​​@@rch5395Yep. If I'm not mistaken, the GTX 690 was the last dual-chip -90 card. But there was also the Titan Z, which was the last dual-chip card Nvidia made. Hard to believe it was 10 years ago! EDIT: And the GeForce 9800 GX2 was the first! EDIT: Nevermind I'm big dumb

[@AliceC993]

@@interrobangings Not to be all _well ackshully_ but, the GeForce 7950 GX2 precedes the 9800 GX2 by nearly two years - June 2006 versus March 2008. Granted, that is a DX9 card, but nonetheless.

[@interrobangings]

​@@AliceC993Oh, thbbp, I forgot about 7 series 😮‍💨😰

[@the.wanginator]

Using old drivers for these comparisons doesn't make sense. If someone were to buy either of these cards on the used market, they'd use the latest. As it stands, you're just rehashing the numbers from the year of release with a stronger CPU.

[@IcebergTech]

The purpose of The GOAT Project is to pit the best GPUs from each generation against each other in order to decide which is the greatest of all time. If you're looking for more practical buying advice, I've already reviewed the RTX 3080 Ti and RX 6900 XT in 2023 and 2024 games, using the latest drivers at the time those videos were made. I'll update the description to include links to those videos.

[@Nizzle89]

Ya, he's making videos for that time of the gpu release....

[@ax_a-ix6275]

The Champion is here, get RX 6900 XT for 220$ from RTX 2060 Super, and It was such an upgrade for this money! Now I can play 4K/60 solid lock, thanks AMD.

[@teslates-j3y]

Got a college Admission test in two days but sorry I can't miss an iceberg video on release

[@LukeTheJoker]

I thought the Radeon might win on cost per frame, did not expect it to win the majority of the benchmarks too. (admittedly on the older games.)

[@araylaurence6220]

why not the 6950xt and 3090?

[@IcebergTech]

1) I have owned the 6900 XT for a while, and the idea of selling it to buy a 6950 XT just for a small memory overclock didn't seem worth it. 2) I took a poll asking which GPU was the successor to the 2080 Ti. The 3080 Ti won.

[@evisluE]

I got my 6959xt for like 470. Really good card for gaming. Everything else though not so much.

[@mrmc101]

i bought the 6900s little brother the 6700 xt and its one of the best purchases ive ever made. 300 dollars for an absolute beast of a card

[@Bargate]

This is actually very surprising I do wonder why AMD has a lead from 2018 to 2021 then as soon as it hits 2022 the 3080 ti takes over. Very interesting I wonder if this applies to 2023 and 2024 as well and how they both react to unreal 5 games.

[@gabber_]

Got myself a 3080Ti a couple of weeks ago used for 400 Euros. Sold my 3070 for 270. It was an excellent upgrade until something more serious arrives. I had to upgrade the VRAM, 8GB is really not enough anymore for 1440p.

[@roys.1889]

This video is making me question whether or not I should wait until the RX 8000 series GPUs come out or to take my chances in a 6000 series GPU. I'm working with a budget of roughly $320-370.

[@AakashKale27]

Forget about RT. I have a 3070, and I have never used RT in any game while I can, but DLSS is a game-changer. FSR is much worse, so you can't compare both in the same line. I have a 2060S from 2020 and I still use it with my tv as my second rig and just because of dlss I get 4k or 1440p on almost all games except Wukong

[@tanzeelahmed4937]

throw intel in the mix and make it a three-way battle now please

[@BaconEater666]

Period accurate drivers are gonna curbstomp it, but i wanna see it nonetheless

[@kookill1319]

I got the 6900 xt new at 471$ outside the US, so im fairly happy with what i have

[@lflyr6287]

Iceberg Tech : the true competitor to the RX 6900 XT was the RTX 3090 24GB....whereas the RX 6950 XT was faster (due to its 18 GBPs memory) and it had to be compared to the RTX 3090 Ti 24GB. I personally have the RX 6900 XT 16GB and a 5 Manli RTX 3080 Ti 12GB cards....have been playing on both of them for the past 2 years....and the RTX 3080 Ti 12GB is no match for AMD in any rasterized game at any resolution....it's simply not in the same league. The 3080 Ti 12GB is in practice around 30-40 % slower. Your benchmarks show to little of a difference compared to the real world difference.

[@Nucleosynthese]

Lovely video but I would prefer tests with everything maxed out including RT. Who buys a $1500+ card to play atmospheric single player games at these preset settings (or 1080p)

[@EBMproductions1]

*rewatching this real quick as in my country both these cards are within 1% of pricing meaning you don't lose when going for either unless the latest and greatest titles are what you are focused on which need more VRAM however at 1080p 12gigs is still fine so i feel whichever card i can get for a better deal is the key and not which benched the best here*

[@segakn98]

My daily driver, RX 6900XT is a beast! Can run almost anything at ultra settings. With some workarounds and overclock i can play even Cyberpunk 2077 with pathtracing.

[@mrdinosaurproductions9507]

Got my 3080 ti the other day for just 450 bucks (FE) I think I’ll be very happy with it

@@ae5668 The idea is that infinity cache is to compensate for the bit bus, however They needed more cache to actually do that. soo faster memory and more bandwidth is the a better solution.

[@justinhubiak7441]

I think another good point of comparison would be power consumption. I have an AMD and Nvidia card from this generation. (RX6800 and RTX3090) And the AMD card draws much less power at same resolution(1440p) with a capped framerate.
