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.
3090 is easy to getHow's about you pick whichever one is in stock when you buy it?
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 ?

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