Our AMD RX 6800 XT reference video card tear-down will be posting later today, hopefully alongside the AMD RX 6800 (non-XT) review. As a reminder, the RX 6800 XT competes directly with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 cards (theoretically at $650 for the XT vs. $700 MSRP for the 3080). The RX 6800 non-XT competes with the RTX 3070 (with the 3070 running theoretically cheaper). Our review of the AMD RX 6800 XT looking at thermal design, cooling, noise levels, gaming performance, Smart Access Memory on vs. off performance, AMD Ryzen vs. Intel performance, ray tracing (RTX/DXR) benchmarks vs. NVIDIA, RDNA2 overclocking behaviors, and more. This is one of the densest-packed reviews we've published lately, and we barely finished it before embargo lift. More to come in short order. Our pressure testing and flatness testing will be pushed into a secondary piece focusing entirely on thermals, as this review ran long enough as is. PCIe 4 vs. PCIe 3 doesn't make much impact on performance, as we showed previously with the RTX 3080, and so any AMD vs. Intel CPU differences are primarily resultant of the higher performance of AMD (particularly at 1080p). Our benchmarks include 4K, 1440p (2560x1440), and 1080p for the RX 6800 XT vs. RTX 3080, et al. Smart Access Memory testing includes the requisite Ryzen 5000 (5900X) CPU, X570 board, and RX 6000 GPU. NVIDIA is working on its own competing feature, but they didn't launch it in time for this review.

Get some sleep you've earned it.
After that get some rest
man you are working hard, take care
Gamers Nexus: *WORKLOAD IS BOOMING*
Go sleep, sleep is important
Rage mode is enabled for people trying to buy the cards.
Lol for real
I"m pretty pissed. my 5800 cpu is on backorder but at least I got one of those.
i mean, i got one off amd direct a minute late
I don’t use Rage mode.
I use ATI Rage 128 Pro Fury MAXX mode.
@@Fast_Freddi3 when will it arrive? All the tech stuff coming ut this year I wont get til 2and quarter 2021 lol
Soon GN will release benchmarks for availability. “In this chart we see AMD leading by 0% stock available, compared to 0% by Nvidia. It’s within margins of error so take this with a grain of salt”
Haha! Nice!
Love how AMD leads Nvidia even at 0%, helps with my fanboy heart
We intentionally zoomed in to better show the difference between the two 0% figures.
@@schubidubap That is something that Steve will say
"keep in mind, our results are with a standard aggravation deviance, and anger normalized for a clearer illustration."
You know, the quality of the content you guys provide is actually kind of unprecedented. I can't think of a time in my life where somebody would spend this kind of time and be this meticulous to provide truthful information to the public, for free. Not on TV, not in books, not in a lab even. We live in some pretty amazing times and you guys are making that happen.
sylza
Steve puts most all other tech tubers to shame as most are just glorified corporate PR firms.
Amen
True that..
It's not 'for free' is it, are you really as naive as that?
This is historic for AMD, I can't remember the last time they had a gpu that held at least parity with Nvidia's finest. And beating Intel at the same time. Wow. They've obviously got smart people working there, so makes you wonder how, at the same time they can come up with something as useless as Rage Mode.
for everything that matters 6800xt is not on par its miles ahead
@@BlinkyBill_ What do you consider things that matter? Some people feel like Ray tracing is the biggest thing to happen to games visually in years. Not everyone can really tell a difference in gaming at 100 FPS versus 144Fps
I think they were ATI last time too.
@@Dinozero Ray tracing is still at gimmick at this point.
Last time I remember was 7970 vs 680, boy that was fierce

I love the smell of embargo lifts in the morning
What do... what do they smell like? Scared to ask.

it is afternoon for me :(

It’s absurd that a new product can launch and within 32 minutes I’ve got all the information I could possibly need, and more. Thanks Steve & GN for what you guys do. Much appreciated.
Now if we could only find one in real life to buy...

Also help why is my computer getting viruses
Steve's next downhill bike has been dubbed: "Rage Mode"
the AMD bike?
I live for the "RAGE MODE"s flying across the screen
same
All future videos that have the words "Rage Mode" must have it flying across the screen
Me too, 4 minutes in and I am loosing it
@@rambo64bit82 rage mode is the greatest thing ever!!!
When I was watching the announcement, i remember seeing "Rage Mode" for the first time and thinking how stupid and silly it sounded lmao, at least we won't forget it
No longer red team vs green team. Now we welcome the Stock Wars (since everything performs about the same but no one actually has cards)
I really wonder if manufacturers are even trying , or well they aren't but I can't 100% confirm just 99,99999999%.
@@tilburg8683 trying to survive covid for sure.
@@tilburg8683 they are. Making a gpu isn’t easy like making a cpu. A gpu is bigger, has more details and components which are made in different factories. The shipping is more expensive and everything is more expensive.
Demand for gpus is crazy at the moment. I wouldn't expect to get any current gen gpu for at least a month after launch.
@@MelchiahTheObscene yeah I'm not even going to look until the new year since I want something I like not just whatever I can get I'm not hurting that much for an upgrade
6800 xt can now be found for $499, plus Smart Access Memory bumps the frames up a few more percentage points, plus FSR,plus 16GB, definitely aged well! @GamersNexus you should do a re-review to see how well it aged ;)
400 now
I literally just ordered the PowerColor Red Dragon RX 6800XT to go with my 5800X since my RX 6600 is just rough in newer games like Starfield. Excited to get it tomorrow (09/10/2023)
@@kingmaniactech I picked up a used PowerColor Liquid Devil 6800 XT last week for $416 ($459 after shipping/tax). It absolutely rips in Starfield versus my prior 5700 XT, it's 60-70% faster and the game looks MUCH better. You made a good choice, you'll love the card.
@@kingmaniactech howz it?
This is such a weird feeling. For the first time in so SO many years I am actually having to compare AMD vs NVIDIA again for high end gaming. I almost forgot how having a choice of two equally good products feels. First Ryzen, now RDNA 2. I remember a few years ago a friend said "AMD will probably never catch up to Intel. Intel has three R&D teams working on current, next and the next after gen of CPUs, AMD can't afford that." Look where we are now.. what a time for PC enthusiasts.
10 years ago people joking about Minecraft as a test bench.
2020: Can your high end card run Minecraft RTX with playable framerate?
Well how the Turn tables..
Id say it would be "can your high end card run minecraft RTX without running DLSS" Im not intersted in upscaling gimicks.
@@djmccullough9233 It's not a gimmick? It drastically improves framerates without losing much visual quality.
Is it known when final (non-beta) version is released?
I am playing only IN 4K. And i am looking fw ray tracing. So i will keep my 4 years old CPU and jist buy 3080Ti IN January
Me: squinting to read the charts
RAGE MODE: * helecopters across the chart *
"Sides are deceased as of now"
I am laughing at flying rage mode😂😂😂
I was squinting until I realized my quality was on auto and playing the video at 240p.... seriously, youtube?
Switching to 720p made me feel like I had just put my glasses on.
(On my phone, btw)
Me squinting at the charts whilst he talks too fast as usual. Prefer hardware unboxed.
@@paullasky6865 0.75 speed is the way :)
These 3rd party testing + benchmarking are so important. Can't thank you guys enough for doing these.
Not much to do specifically to this video, but you are basically my 1st choice for reliable and quality computer info on the web. Hats off to you guys!
So rage mode is only useful in wasting Steve's time benchmarking it.
Depending upon games. He only benched a few games. I think FPS games will benefit the most
Whoa whoa whoaa it's highly useful for the entertainment of GN watchers. Those animations are hilarious! 😉
And the editor's time, except it's worth because of the edits
@@MrTrustdesa this is different, rage mode is about adjusting power sliders. Games don't need to implement rage mode for us to see anything.
And more importantly depending on cpu on a 10700k cpu the rage mode cannot communicate so it's basically a glorified scanner duh!
New drinking game: every time Steve says "rage mode" take a drink. Seriously don't you'll probably die. On a serious note, outstanding reportage as always!
This will be so nice to know that one day 4 years from now I can find this card used up from a crypto miner and look at this review before I puchase it.
I just grabbed a rx 6800xt from Xfx for 750€. For the current prices i made one heck of a deal and couldnt be happier. This will be paired with a r9 5900x which i got for 399€. I am very pleased with the prices i got these parts
I'm thinking about buying a 6800xt from XFX as well, I see that your comment was made a year ago. Did the card cause you any trouble after a year of use? Does it still work as intended?
I came here to see more “rage mode” flying across the screen
Actually he said it around 4:30 and rage mode didn't fly. 0/10.
*Flying RAGE MODE on FIRE*
Well, glad to report that the fly-ins are persistent. :D
Some burn, and some even explode!
Unfortunately SAM doesnt work yet :(
We need to consider that there are many other mainstream games that haven't been tested, like Esport games, where AMD should shine,because u don't care about rtx effect there but raw fps, or just many other games, also they will probably improve performance,add new things with new drivers,software with time if i might guess.
"Rage mode increases the aggression of the fan curve". I see what you did there.
Great stuff, thanks for all the work!
AMD launches new GPU:
Retailers: "aaand its gone."
It was never there to begin with.
@@Src4mblerr Always Has Been 👩🚀 🔫 👩🚀
Honestly, I didn't even see it appear for sale, and I kept refreshing the pages. The moment it was out, bam, "Out of Stock."
Also Horibbly overpriced.
I can with luck snatch a 3070 at msrp. ( did already 1 time but i need a 2nd ) but the 6800 NON XT i saw was like 740€
yeah less availability than Nvidia, this is going crazy. This is the future, releases that you must wait for 3 months to get your hands on it. Can't they hire more Asian kids or what.
I'm gonna have to become a tech reviewer just to get a gpu in the next year
:))))))
Im very appreciative of what guys like Steve do, but i've been thinking that myself. As I watch the 15th build that Jay or Linus do for a video, that they are giving away or building for someone or whatever, and they happen to always have a 3080 or 3090 (or two 3090's) FE editions. Meanwhile, a couple months in, I still have not seen a site say anything other than "Out of stock". Im not blaming the youtubers, but man its frustrating.
@@MP-ij8wo let's say you have 20,000 units available world wide let's say we divide that number by the top 40 countries 1000 units for each of those top 10 so 1,000 cards then 500 units for the next top ten then 250 for the last 20, while it is a launch it's not one that realistic (the actual card limit is probably up on the 100,000 or more units) demand is just unheard of say 2-10 million waiting or somthing
@@MP-ij8wo The worse part is that us buyers are paying for their cards as well.
@@sagerdood OH SO YOU ARE THE PROBLEM/jk
You sir, are very lucky.
Why do I believe “rage mode” is going to be added to a year end Tshirt?
Why wait? I'll buy one now if they make them large enough in tall sizes. I'll buy several.
Holy shit someone make this now
And nvidia should have a shirt that says you ragin bro?
Bro, do you even rage?
Amazing work. Thanks!
I really like how unbiased and true all of your great technical videos are, thank you so much for your hard work and honesty
1 Second in the GPU is already disassembled. 😂 This is why I love GN videos
If it got screws - Screw them... great mentality for an hardware enthusiast to live by!
Thats love to its viewers. Jay doesnt do the same because he thinks first on his personal build then on his viewers.
Was on AMD website about a minute before release date, hit refresh immediately said sold out. Still had about 20sec till the actual release time. Good times
same man
I actually got one. It went smooth as butter for me. After getting shafted on the 3080 and ryzen 5000 I was SHOCKED I got through
"We suggest sellers to implement methods to protect from bots, such as capcha"
It's good when AMD listen to their own advice.
feelsbadman
i made it all the way to purchase button and site crashed. The when i tried again, gpu still in cart and hit purchase again it took me to sold out page.
Brilliant review! Really glad I didn't wait and got the RTX 3080 when it was released.
3080ti in January says hello
@@ccrawford7164 naaa I doubt I'd actually need it for any reason. Upgraded from a GTX1070 so I'll wait for the same performance difference before upgrading again.
I like how you recommend to watch reviews from others as well at the end. Others, more popular (based on views) and in my opinion worse reviewers would never do that. Respect.
Your reviews are so refreshing because you respect us - your viewers - enough that you're confident that you can present the benchmarks, provide a summary of the pros and cons, give an overall assessment, and leave the final decision-making to us without condescension. Not to mention you have the strictest benchmarking methodologies of all the major tech tubers.
Is it just me or does Steve look like he has a bit more pep in his step in this review. Not reading into that. It’s just interesting.
That was the "try to look like you don't feel like you're dying inside" final push a few hours before embargo lift! Glad that there is some appearance of energy. I always worry about showing any tiredness because people will think it's a reflection of the product, even though it's nothing to do with it. Thanks for not reading into it! Glad it looked that way!
@@GamersNexus We love your work buddy. Good work.
@@GamersNexus You're a fountain of wisdom for us all man, the amount of work you put in you deserve a little slack especially with such a busy few months.
Thanks for everything you do dude.
Mania maybe, masquerading as pep, lol.
@@GamersNexus Did you enable RAGE MODE just before the cameras rolled? And by rage mode I mean chugging an entire can of your caffienated soft drink of choice just so you can keep your eyes open
Thanks Steve, great review!
Thank you for the exemplary review.
Please never stop spamming the RAGE MODE graphic as long as the meme lives. My sides are deceased lmao
I miss OUT OF THE BOX THERMALS
Yes.
It gave me a chuckle.
Im just hoping nvidia makes something as stupid and fun to go against it.
Rage achieved

Couldn't even make it to a product listing, much less add to cart.
I could refresh my page but the cards never showed up :( I was refreshing every 3 seconds and they showed up 10 minutes later all out of stock. Feels bad man
@@GeneralPetey same my guy. sadfaces all around.
Best Buy JUST added them, I got a 3080 FE from them and I am not a Bot lol. Try best buy once they drop them
It was instantly sold out as soon as listed... waste of time.
The 3070 auros master is in stock for me so I'm just gonna get that
Quality content as always 👍
wonderful work!!!!
Immediately sold out on AMD site, never appeared in stock on any other site.
He said they were only available via AMD
yep. I was refreshing their store. Saw it pop up, hit add to cart. Sold out.
I managed to place an order
it appeared...but the add to cart and cart buttons were not responding.
Had a sapphire in my cart at newegg then it dissapeared
Just a friendly reminder for my nerds here in Australia, the 6800xt is priced even better than most 3070's
@kim Jong-unsub true, but the 6800XT is literally $300-400 cheaper than the 3080 in Australia. I originally wanted to buy the 3080 for DLSS and RT, but that's quite a large price difference.
I managed to get in on preorder for gigabyte 6800xt (1049aud)at Mwave..havent even seen the reference cards on sale from amd anywhere...Niw after seing all of the reviews having second thoughts...
@kim Jong-unsub What exactly did they exaggerate? Everything seem in line with what have been shown.
@kim Jong-unsub I'm not sure if you're American, but the fps/$ is significantly different for Australians. No, not every game supports DLSS and RT, but the games I am personally interested in playing do. I'm basing my purchase off the games I am going to be playing, not just general benchmarks of games I'm never going to play anyway.
Here hoping that the same would also applied to Indonesia. The cheapest 3080 is $1015. Hopefully 6800XT would priced $750-850
Comprehensive! Thanks for a great review.
When you watch a video card review and the first shot is an already dismantled card you know it is Gamer Nexus. 😂👍👍👍
I'm in no rush. My current GPU is good enough until stocks wanna act right.
I love the edits on this one
Bless the editor for including the rage mode animations! Never though I could laugh so much during a review. And, of course, thank you for the hard work in reviewing these!
"Dropping Quake because it doesn't work right now"
AMD: _grimace_
Cyrix: "First time?"
Fun fact: some parts of Cyrix's designs were acquired by AMD, so you could say after 20 plus years, the game still hates Cyrix.
@@jellybr3ak But boy do the One Armed Bandits love em!
Quake II RTX uses Nvidia Vulkan propietary extensions, which AMD doesn't implement. The new Vulkan Khronos RT extension (that is developed by 12 companies, including Intel, AMD and Nvidia) is almost ready, and the code for Quake II RTX is already prepared to use it as soon as the extension is finalized and shows up in the drivers (soon, maybe month or two from now). AMD could also implement to support the Nvidia extension, but considering very few titles use it, it is unlikely they will bother doing that.
@@movax20h Wrong. Quake II RTX uses Nvidia's proposed Vulkan RT extensions which got accepted and are now in Vulkan RT Draft (released March this year). Once the draft gets ratified (currently no changes are expected) it will be the official spec. Once it becomes official spec AMD will obviously support it.
@@andersjjensen Nvidias Vulkan extension is very similar to the VulkanRT draft, but it is not identical. There are a few subtle differences, that would ruin your day if you simply renamed your function calls.
I’m trying to shell out more money than a teenage boy getting into his first strip club and I still can’t get a PS5, XBX, 3080 or 6800XT. This is getting ridiculous.
Well, it's covid, so all those teenage boys go and buy PS5, XBOX, 3080 and 6800 XTs instead of going to strip clubs. It's understandable that competition would be fierce.
You and me both .
X570 tomahawk mobo ... out
12 core cpu in stock .
6800xt , out
Series x for the kids , out .
COVID made me appreciate my hardware more than I already do and I actually have decent specs (R7 3700X, 32GB RAM @3.2GHz, GTX 1080 Ti, and a 28” 4K 60Hz monitor). However, when it comes to these newer titles at 4K....I don’t mind turning down settings in order to maintain 60fps but when I have to start dialing down my resolution scaling, on top of turning down graphics, then it’s time for me to upgrade. I was hellbent on getting a RTX 3080 too but it’s VRAM was a big concern for me. 11GB is barley getting me by as is *(In certain titles).* So thank you AMD for bringing an alternative. But if Nvidia does officially announce a 20GB 3080, I may just have to jump back on-board with the green team....depending on the price!
I feel your pain. Trying to give companies money and they laughing at everyone.
The saddest part - you can not even go strip club safely these days either.
Steve, you say it took you a couple hours to tune those clocks for games testing. Any chance that could be a video someday? The sort of processes you go through to make sure you get the best out of your clocks?
Awesome review as always! Lots of useful details. Could you please add benchmarks for content creation? Provided that raytracing performance was not great I would not expect much, but still would love to see this data.
RAGE Mode: a new addition to the Disappointment 2020 Tour shirt.
rage mode is fine for normies. No enthusiast would use automatic overclocking anyway, so its not a dissapointment, its a feature not intended for us.
Hell getting any new hardware can be added to that shirt.
@@djmccullough9233 u clearly dont get the joke
2020 should be added to the century disappointment tour as a whole 😥
It actually IS a dissappointment since in some occasions it literally performs worse lol
That feeling when AMD gave Steve more of their new GPUs than they gave to your entire city :(
Thanks for all the hard work on these reviews and other GPU videos, as someone building a new PC atm they've been incredible!
Editing was on point.
I got my card! WooT WooT!! SOOOOOOOO HAPPY! Thanks for your goood reviews, and helping me decide on grabbing this over the 3080 in months lol
I like that RAGE MODE is about as useful as actually raging while playing a game, doesn't really do anything most of the time, and kinda just makes you a bit worse sometimes.
It's there to teach a lesson
You've never played genji in overwatch in overtime...
Exactly, even calling it a gimmick is an overstatement. It's literally just a meme.
I like your profile picture too!
Couldn't watch this with a straight face cause of the RAGE MODE effects LOL
Best effects ever kkkk
I'm guessing it only helps in the stability of the clock speeds because setting a higher clock speed (basically OC'ing) will need higher voltage thus higher wattage to have better stability. In short, it's just like maxing out the power % slider in MSI Afterburner lol.
The review we been waiting for.
Mentioning Mantle brought me back to a very different time that feels like a decade ago.
A time when I wouldn't be caught dead with AMD parts in my gaming rig.
@@G.W._Cook I mean I had them in mine. But mainly cuz they had to dump the prices through the floor to encourage sales in mid range.
The nostalgia!
Next time, you need voice over with growly voice for RAGE MODE.
Something like unreal tournament announcer
Should also be accompanied by death metal!
brutalzoid is a good voice actor for this
"... was certainly enough to change the order in the charts." The most important thing for a feature to do :P
This head to head battle really cleared up with no holds barred by GN! Thank you Steve! 🤘
Finally you are the first channel I see, who put Total War Three Kingdoms in to the test review for new GPU. I was missing this information for a long time as a Total War series player. Big thumbs up. THANKS for great content.
Rage mode: what noise sensitive users will encounter when enabling the feature
The Jedi have been saying it for millennia, for anyone actually willing to listen!!! Rage Mode is not the true path to the force. :|
*GeForce hurhurhur
Rage mode is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be....undesirable.
*Loud fan noises spinning in the background*
Very nice Video!
Can't wait for the breakdown
Isnt it amazing that the 6800 XT is 85% faster than the 5700 XT while only having 14% more memory bandwidth? That was an amazing engineering feat.
Wouldn’t it have more bandwith due to infinity cache.
Steve went rage mode when he tied his hair back and smoked jay in that linus pc tech challenege a few months back
I look forward to your reviews; I know they're going to be truthful, fair, and unbiased.
Tech Jesus scores another great review. This is the reason why I wait for his reviews as it's thorough than others! great job GN
just glad that reviews and the "launch" are at the same exact time. at least we have plenty of time till we can actually buy them to make sure we want to!
I hope the Rage Mode gimmick stays forever.
Awesome stuff! New subscriber here!
I love how Steve puts Rage Mode everywhere. Amazing editing xD
This is why I come to this channel ! For the completely non bias reviews ! Stay True GN!
unbiased! shite..!
As a Nvidia guy Amd is looking really impressive especially with the tighter frequency while gaming. I have the Asus Strix 2080Ti OC card now and will probably build a all AMD rig when parts actually become available. Hats off to AMD welcome back to the GPU/CPU Wars.
A very unbiased review,
a review I could always trust!!! Thanks nexus.
I love that you recommend for people to watch other reviewers covering content that you haven't thoroughly covered like ray tracing. Just shows how open you are to the fact that it's possible that someone else could have done it better. Unless we're talking about rip jay, then all bets are 📴
This video was really helpful. 6800 XT's were in stock at a more reasonable price than the 3080s in my country when I did my new build a couple weeks ago, and on the basis of this comparison I ended up getting one. I'm just glad I don't care about raytracing because it seems functionally useless on AMD's first stab at it (maybe next time).
Came for the "RAGE MODE", and I'm not disappointed.
Very glad to see AMD with a competitive GPU again! Very exciting stuff. I really wasn't expecting much, considering their GPU performance over the last eight or nine years. Hope to see them continue on this trajectory. If we can see the same iterative performance uplifts we've seen with Ryzen, AMD GPUs are on track to become VERY formidable.
Great review as always. I hope you're gonna do a refresh video on the "High-End 3950X PC Build for Video Editing"... It will help me decide what's the best for my next build !
"check out other reviews just to get the full scope..."
GN: 35 minute review
Others: 9 minutes...
That's why you don't just rely on RUclipsrs. Sites like Anandtech and Tomshardware exist too.
Though personally I really dislike Tweaktown. They produced some kind of false looking EVGA 3080 FTW3 OC results compared to other sites and Steve's own notion of "they are basically the same performance". Not to mention their very annoying ads.
@@SuperSSSSooonniicccc tomshardware has their fair share of questionable moves too tho. Remember "just buy it" from the rtx 20xx's?
Hardware unboxed has in depth reviews too especially game benchmarks
@@SuperSSSSooonniicccc THG, really? That is about as legit as user benchmarks. Just buy it. ;-)
Igor's Labs review is 45 minutes ... and that's just the video, while the text version has even more content. And a lot more details than GN.
Hardware Unboxed is 26 Minutes still. etc ;-)
I'll never get tired of the RAGE MODE edits
this earned a subscribe
Thats lots of work .👍👍👏👏
Big thank you to your editor for the flying "Rage Mode" still makes me laugh. Flaming "Rage Mode" was the best.
Missed one at 4:25
18:39 You missed one "RAGE MODE" flying banner there.
Hahaha, that rage mode totally got me while drinking coffee. Loving it
Its actually a really interesting value prop in Australia. Listed at 1049 AUD vs 1400-1600 for a 3080 depending on the model.
"...It's enraged counterpart..." Hahaha
Every other review I've watched so far: This cooler is soo much better!
Steve: It's mediocre.
Oh well, wasn't ever going to buy a reference card anyway :D
Because Steve does noise-normalized thermal testing, which means he doesn't just crank up the fan to 100% and let it rip.
It's because of the Tjunction temperature behaviour with the overlock. The card doesn't handle it well since the Tjunction is already close to the max. I guess this is because of the use of the graphite pad combined with not good cold plate evenness. The average temps are ok but it's more complex than that.
wht do u expect? amd gpu is notorious for its heat
@@yapweehow that's not how it works. The 30 series cards actually produce more heat with their higher power consumption. It's all about what cooling solution is chosen for each scenario.
Beware of fast talkers and overly complicated reviews with wording that is nothing more than bias using aftermarket cards! I would advise everyone to watch Hardware Unboxed Review.

I don't know how I never smashed subscribe before this. But it's mental seeing the channel hit 1.2 mil when they celebrated one mil like a month ago
Idk if you'll see this Steve, but thanks for all the work and testing you do for us consumers 😁
Lets go bois, the time to binge AMD GPU reviews has come.
Crazy that the shortage is finally over, was able to snag a 6800XT at my microcenter for $579, absolutely love the thing
@@PocketDelicious I love it so far, I'm getting just over 75FPS in Control with max settings and medium ray tracing at 1440p. With max settings and ray tracing off I get about 105. If you can get it for $579 I say go for it, it's a 1440p powerhouse. just make sure you have a good enough power supply!
Yep. I just grabbed a 6800xt Tuf for $599.
SAM and upscaling solutions like DLSS... both still super early technologies but i'm loving this glimpse into the future!
That camera zoom in at the beginning was simulating my eyes :P
So far, it seems to me that if ray tracing is not a consideration then the 6800 XT and the RTX 3080 seem to be on par with each other. Getting your hands on either card would appear to be a win for the consumer. Also, love the increasingly entertaining Rage Mode graphics!
