AMD Radeon 6000 - Big Navi

[93Flareside]

There really doesn't seem to be much different at least in real world use. Sure, in synthetic testing, but its single frames for the most part.

With the 3070 I’d constantly be anxious about how soon (when, not if) those 8gb of RAM turn into a bottleneck.
Apart from that, I guess it’s down to your usage profile. Is raytracing or dlss of importance to you or in the titles you play? If so: Nvidia.
Edit: for me, currently, I’d get a 6800 in a heartbeat, if it were available and maybe just a tiny bit cheaper

How's about you pick whichever one is in stock when you buy it?

 

[eizbaer]

That seems as good advice as any really

3090 is easy to get

Considering I just came from having 2gigs of vram, if 8 suddenly becomes a liability, I'm gonna be pissed.

Ti and Super supposed addre

Just got a order for a 3070, so I hope not.

The old radeon I have has 1Gb, so I hope its an improvement.

The old card has crashed a few times since I got a 1440p / 165Mhz monitor. Black screen, system still on! Apparently some folks encounter same problem on 5000 series cards!

huh, don't quite know what to make of that... early board partner bios seems to suggest (much) higher clock rates for 6700 xt series cards compared to the 6800 in order to make up for the much smaller chip.

Well, that was earlier than expected... but who cares, nobody's going to be able to buy the cards anyway, right? Especially with cryptomania once again screwing over the entire market.

Yes, crypto currencies are essentially the most energy intensive pyramid scheme ever. It would be incredibly sweet if/when that bubble bursts.

 

[eizbaer]

I'd love me a 6700XT - and since I already profited off the bubble and sold my rx580 for twice what i paid, I'd be perfectly fine with that whole thing crashing right about now

Amusingly, even the "purposefully de-optimized for mining" RTX 3060 can still earn, like, $7 a day, as long as it's not Ethereum.

So just for shits and giggles, I just looked at what my current card is going for on ebay and holy shit. https://www.ebay.com/itm/MSI-Radeon...086526&hash=item3db759d656:g:AfIAAOSwMz1gObmd

That's well over twice what I got mine for, brand new, back in the summer. If I had another card in my possession, it'd be really hard to justify not flipping it.

Welp, that was fun... I decided to have a live look at the crash just now at launch of sales. Went sort of as expected. I did get one into the cart at least and then got stuck in the payment / shipping process because 95% of the time I was presented with the expected 503 error. At some point I just got kicked out of my cart entirely when, after all of three minutes, all of AMDs own stock was sold out

Does this mean people will be distracted from buying up all the Nvidia cards now?
