lol, looks like they have some interesting tricks implemented to compete with Ampere. I would like to see 3rd party test.

Looks to be a paper launch, I'm not aware of anyone receiving cards to review yet, unless there's some super strong NDA where they can't even say they've got the card.

THANK YOU, EVGA!!!

Gratz! Enjoy the card!!!

Thanks you guys!!  Here's hoping everyone in the queue after me have a very short wait until they get their cards!!

I wouldn't be surprised if the entire EVGA staff is watching the AMD presentation right now.  I would expect it to be delayed into the 10 or even 11 am PT hour.  Good luck everybody!

I'm not very technical and knowledgeable on the subject but how does their new card compares so far to a 3080?

The 6900XT will be competitive at a $999 price point.  Delaying the launch into December is likely due to wanting to avoid the "paper launch" claims that NVIDIA suffered.  The 6800XT is likely the sweet spot for AMD and will generate a lot of interest.  It comes Nov 18.  All of this at lower power consumption.  The remaining issue will be the AMD drivers and whether they have been optimized and polished (i.e., materially bug free). 
 
I think all three of the GPUs AMD offered will sell out and there will be supply issues.  
 
Final thought: the AMD cpu + AMD gpu combination and purported increase in performance seemed to be more marketing spin than anything. They were very nuanced in how they discussed it.  "Rage Mode" (instant OC mode) provides performance increase but they did not specify a specific percentage increase when you pair the AMD 5XXX CPU and AMD 6X00XT GPU together.  Not that I expected specifics on that front, but it remains an open question. 
 
TLDR; the battle has been joined.  And at lower power consumption.  Launch is is late Nov and early Dec.  Let's see what third party benchmarks come in.

AMD announced a gpu that is basically even with the 3090 for 999, lol. RIP 3090. And some weird CPU to GPU performance boost thing.
Well, I'm pretty sure a ton of people will shift to AMD cards now, and the date is ~3 weeks away, so things should seriously improve in November. Fingers crossed the queue clears morning of the 17th before then... I'd like the GPU for the new Yakuza game, lol.

That top tier card isn't out until early December. I believe it is 16GB memory, and not quite a 3090 beater, but looks more like it will compete directly with whatever 3080 Super/Ti card that NVidia may have in the works..


 

exactly... if the benchmarks hold up and you can get 3090 performance for 3080 +200ish pricing... that is going to be rough to pass up

For me, if the benchmarks hold up, it's going to come down to whomever can put a card in my hands first.  I want a 3080 FTW3 Ultra but I'm already looking at paying just over $800 for that.  I'd be willing to spend a couple hundred more for better performance and the ability to actually buy a card.

I was not part of the tracking spreadsheet

Woohoo! Thanks for that - I'm really close on the list, very happy to see some movement again today. Gratz and enjoy the card!



 

I wasn't on the spreadsheet but 10G-P5-3885-KR 9/16/2020 3:14:41 PM PT Yes. Email received at 10/28 11:12am. Should be here tomorrow. 
Thanks for all the hard work! Sad that people have a need to destroy it.
 

So how much of a difference does 10GB GDDR6X vs 16GB GDDR6 make?

For current games...very few require more than 10GB (assuming you are not streaming your game, etc.).  A few games (Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 being one) do better with more than 10GB GPU memory.

For me, if there is stock available 8 December for the 6900XT, and I still dont have a 3080 in my machine, I am going to probably have to jump.  I dont think the 6800XT is going to be worth it to me, but real world specs might influence that...
