AMD announces Radeon RX 6800XT & RX 6900XT - tech|
| (hx) 12:25 AM CET - Oct,29 2020 | AMD started off October with a bang, announcing the new Ryzen 5000 series CPUs and now to close out the month, we’ve got official details on three new Radeon RDNA 2 GPUs – RX 6900 XT, RX 6800 XT and RX 6800.
All three GPUs are based on AMD’s new RDNA 2 architecture, delivering up to 65% more performance per watt compared to the original RDNA 1 architecture while using the same 7nm process. AMD has also been able to squeeze out an additional 30 percent in average clock speeds.
Another interesting feature is Infinity Cache, which allows for more bandwidth while keeping power consumption down. This is a particularly big benefit for 4K gaming, where large amounts of data needs to move through the GPU memory.
The AMD Radeon RX 6800XT features 72 compute units, 2015Mhz game clock, 2250Mhz boost clock, and 128MB Infinity Cache. It also comes with 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM, and requires 300W total power. This GPU will be priced at $649, and will be available on November 18th.
The AMD Radeon RX 6800 features 60 compute units, 1815Mhz game clock, 2105Mhz boost clock, and 128MB Infinity Cache. It also comes with 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM, and requires 250W total power. This GPU will be priced at $579, and will be more powerful than the RTX2080Ti.
AMD also revealed its highest RDNA 2 model, the AMD Radeon RX 6900XT. AMD Radeon RX 6900XT will be available on December 8th and will cost $999. This GPU will challenge the RTX3090, a GPU that costs way more than it. The AMD Radeon RX 6900XT features 80 compute units, 2015Mhz game clock, 2250Mhz boost clock, and 128MB Infinity Cache. It also comes with 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM, and requires 300W total power.

| Csimbi | (10:42 AM CET - Oct,29 2020 ) | Yep, I had high expectation and they delivered - hats off.
I have to say it's pretty impressive with just 80 units.
Do you know how many units there are on an NVidia 3090?
The price tag is also looking far better than on the NGreedia. |

| gx-x | (11:51 AM CET - Oct,29 2020 ) | | nvidia has decent pricing this time around, but they cant meet the demand. Thing about AMD is, a lot of us didn't expect their old "new" RDNA2 to be faster than 2080Ti by much, but, according to AMD, they are much faster at the top end. We shall see when the reviews come out. One thing is certain, if AMD can meet the demand while nVidia is playing dumb, well... :D |

| Tom | (02:26 PM CET - Oct,30 2020 ) | Whatever. Their drivers suck. They didn't even get stable fucking drivers for the 5700XT and they got the fucking nerve to release new cards.. many people continue to have problems with multi-monitor setups, reboots/hangs playing games. Nvidia may not be fastest (right now) but they got one thing AMD clearly can NEVER get RIGHT.
DRIVERS!
I been on Nvidia for fuck knows how many years. Literally never having a single problem. Switch to AMD.. fucking crashes, drivers stopping causing system instability etc. Fuck AMD for video cards. I rather pay a little more and get a card with decent fucking drivers than sit around and feel good about myself because I got 5-10fps more. Then turn around and lie to people that I don't have problems.
Only thing I see AMD in my future is a CPU and only because Intel is a piece of shit, more so than AMD. |

| gx-x | (02:34 PM CET - Oct,30 2020 ) | | same thing. But asking price for 3070 in my country and surrounding countries is 600+ euro. AMD drivers are terrible, but I would be, for the first time on desktop, willing to tolerate their infotainment GUI, with ads, if I can get performance similar to 3070 for under or around 400 euro (on the actual market) which I can get if I buy a used 2080 or even 2070s under 300 works fine for me... |

I don't think you know how many times you will get "AMD graphics driver has stopped working and will restart". Followed by a system hang if you try and play another game without rebooting. See how happy you will be. I've used nVidia since I left 3DFx.. I originally tried ATI when I left 3Dfx.. and it was the same thing back then. Then I switched to nVidia and the rest was history.. never problems! I got suckered by my son to try AMD and I've paid the price. My computer would run straight for weeks without reboot now I reboot nearly daily. And I consider myself a wizard when it comes to windows, troublshooting and stability. You can't do shit about a video card that stops working because of shoddy drivers. You think that's worth saving a hundred bucks.. go for it. nVidia charges what they charge for a reason, all around you get solid, consistent performance and stability when gaming. To me that's worth paying for.
How these fuckers can even put out a new card when they haven't even put out a stable driver consistently for their old line of cards, just incredible and disgusting. |

| gx-x | (04:50 PM CET - Nov,02 2020 ) | | I had mining rigs, and still have one, and I didn't get any driver problems. Once i Put a card into my PC, to bridge changing my main card, sort the BIOS and all that, I get used to AMD driver randomly reloading even without an error :D I can't even be bothered to get into latest Control panel. It's kind of, set it and forget it kind of thing, that's why I think I would be able to step down to AMD GPU drivers quality, until prices calm dawn since it's going to be a Console year anyway. It's getting closer to "I am not paying for this, I am getting a console" situation... |
