Do you care about raytracing?

One of the green rats
well isnt that the question? lol Ive been looking at recent comparisons and the 6900 beats the 3080 in a lot of non RT games by a pretty good margin, but then there is ray tracing .. the thing i see with that is the 6900 is always about 20 fps behind in RT games but the games that tank it below 60 are usually run badly on the 3080 as well. only a few cases where the 3080 is right at 60 with the 6900 at 40.

I don't think actual implementation of raytracing is that meaningfull, so I'd go with a 6900 (especially for the vram), I'm pretty sure than when raytracing will be a real game changer our gpu will be uselesswell isnt that the question? lol Ive been looking at recent comparisons and the 6900 beats the 3080 in a lot of non RT games by a pretty good margin, but then there is ray tracing .. the thing i see with that is the 6900 is always about 20 fps behind in RT games but the games that tank it below 60 are usually run badly on the 3080 as well. only a few cases where the 3080 is right at 60 with the 6900 at 40.
for now it's really fancy reflection and nothing more, worth in maybe 1 or 2 games... naturally imho, other than that do you need nvenc?

3080 12 gb. 6900xt is a great fucking card but ray tracing is going to be pretty much standard in next Gen games when they do arrive. Ue5 matrix demo with ray tracing seem to be doing fine on AMD cards but we don’t know if Avatar and Star Wars fallen order 2 will behave the same way.
Then there is dlss which lets face it is something you will be using in every single game and benchmarks without dlss dont really show that.

that is a tough question these days. I convinced a friend of mine to buy the 3080 12GB(which he did) because it was on sale for $770. At that price, it is hard to justify a 6900xt. Even if the 6900xt does beat it in rasterization by quite a bit. Price per frame, the 3080 12GB I think is the hands down best value aside from maybe a 6600xt at the moment. That is of course if you are dead set on buying a card right now. If this was a few months ago? 6900xt since it was the first card to hit msrp and even go under for the most part. Rasterization is still king and the 6900 xt > 3080 12gb in that manner.
This is even when considering resolution and etc. DLSS and FSR are both meh to me. Still prefer native over these temporal solutions but I guess they are nice to have. Especially for the 4k gamers since these cards under 4k should not really need temporal assistance to get high framerate outside of some titles.
Raytracing? Also still not really at a place where IMO(important) matters. It is a nice thing to have the RT cores. Only game that made me care so far about ray tracing is Cyberpunk. Fortunately, devs are actually caring about ray tracing finally but it might still be a while before it truly becomes the staple that makes the ray tracing cores a more meaningful consideration. However, I guess this is where these temporal solutions like DLSS, XeSS, and FSR are going to matter the most and squeeze out that future performance.

Now there are rumors saying the 4070 will only have 10gb.
If true it's out of the question for me. I'm not going from 12gb vram to 10. Nvidia deserves to get rocked by amd if true.
Not gonna lie if there is no 12gb card from Nvidia on 4070/60/60 ti I am probably going to get a sapphire rdna3 gpu.

I'm of the opinion, grab the 6900 XT. It's the same money (or cheaper) than an RTX 3080 10/12 GB and better. Sure, Nvidia is winning the Raytracing race as of now, but the 6900 XT just straight brute forces and it appears FSR 2.0 can stand up to DLSS, so you'll have gains there. (Once more universal support, of course) You'll be in good hands if you get either card, but again, why not get the more powerful AND its usually cheaper?

I would also imagine more FSR 2.0's with RT in the future and you'll get roughly the same perf or better.

Planning on this if I’m underwhelmed with the RDNA3 cards.

Ok, since RDNA3 won't be out for a while anyway, I can just wait and see how my system does with the new CoD and that will probably give indication on how it would do with Warzone 2 as well.. to an extent. If I can't get 200+fps @ 1440p on the smaller MW2 maps, there is no way I'm getting 165 FPS in warzone 2. There is also VRR which helps a lot..
I agree... but if I want to run a specific game at high settings I might have to. We will see.
They've improved their drivers a lot. I used to get stutters in warzone but they fixed in a few months ago. Its true, there is no way RDNA3 comes out before MW22 but probably around the same time warzone 2 comes out..
No, the CoD engine is CPU limited, for me anyway..
Oh yeah, I know they are not, but at the time it was between the 6800xt and a 3070ti and the AMD card was much better so I got that. Things might change with RDNA3..
VRR helps a lot.
The 5600x is an awesome chip, its just that cod doesn't like it all that much.
CPU bound indeed, at least on that one game.
because call of duty ..

The x3D is great but since you already have a zen 3 chip, maybe not. It will be a big jump in many games but 5600x is still very good.
If you had an older Ryzen and hadn't already jumped to 5600x I would say for sure get the x3D. But just wait for the next Intel socket and for am5 to mature. I agree withKenpachii .
I upgraded from a 1600af to an x3D which is huuuuge.

I think RDNA3 will be the peak for that architecture, so if they don't deliver with that... I dunno

I have gotten some bad ghosting on dlss. Version 2.4.

Saw that rumor yesterday. I imagine it is just a rumor despite coming from a trusted leaker. Especially since 10GB isn't enough for even a handful of titles. Which is 1 too many titles for such a premium card. Far Cry 6 being an example of this with HD textures and max graphics set up. The regular 3080 chugs along. Agree, I would rather go with RDNA 3 over Lovelace(I think that is what it is called) if that were to be true.
If they are the same price as each other and you don't care about ray tracing(most people realistically don't, I am one of those) then the 6900 XT would make more sense than the 3080 12GB.

I would like to think Nvidia aren't THAT stupid to make a 10gb 4070 but, hey. They did make an 8gb 3070 :/

they might do that to milk people for more vram high end models.
Although it's not a problem yet with 3080. I had 1 crash with resi2 remake rt when changing settings too much

This time I think it's going to bite them. Rdna3 rumors are looking strong.
Crypto is going down again so they won't be able to sell anything instantly no matter how much of a turd it is.
If it weren't for crypto/shortages they never would have released 3000 series with so little vram.

RDNA, as powerful and nice as it is, does not have DLSS and few other nvidia features.
Sadly, the amd counterpart is very bad looking in motion

i got a 6650 xt. I would have gotten a regular 6600 xt but they were at the same price so i figured why not.
i wonder if 8gb is enough for games in the future at 1440p though

Dlss is overrated in my experience. I do need to fiddle with the different versions between 2.3 and 4 though. If I can't get rid of the ghosting I will start shitting on dlss all the time here lol.
Esp. if you want the most crisp image, you don't want dlss. Or taa. Example native 4k with msaa/smaa 1x is what you want for a most sharp image.

I can't do native IQ anymore. I must have something. TAA is usually pretty good but it can weirdly shimmer.
For example, Death stranding on pc does this bad foliage TAA shimmer. YOu rotate camera and the bushes go crazy... and it does not happen on ps5.
But DLSS is amazing for most part. Especially when you put in the right version

We are exact opposites here as well. I always prefer sharpness over lack of jaggies.
Native 4k at the distance I sit (I know you sit closer based on your set up pics) with msaa/smaa 1x has extremely minimal aliasing. I only use taa if it's forced i.e. metro Exodus. Otherwise I inject smaa or use in game msaa if it works.

I have tried DLSS and FSR. I really don't like how either Temporal solution. There is always something off about it. Native is the only way I can play games. MAYBE this experience changes at 4k but I doubt it. Either way, using powerful GPUs like 6800xt/3080 should not really require these solutions. They are better suited to the less powerful GPUs but surely can be used to push frames if you so wish of course.

TBH for a 3060 i think 1080 144hz would make more sense
1440p 144hz would only work if you had a strong card like 3070ti or above
i still think you should get a 1440p monitor since it's far better looking than 1080

I've not tried THAT many dlss games but Death Stranding is the best looking I've seen.
4k with quality DLSS looks better than native. except for lack of motion vectors on flying bugs but this is fixable
manfestival

think of getting better specs on a monitor as a form of future proofing yourself. That monitor will likely be fine but the industry is trying really hard to move towards 4k. It is struggling with the consoles lacking the power. Which of course means squeezing more life out of 1080p but you will likely get more value out of a 1440p 144hz monitor especially when upgrading down the road. Plus 1440p looks much better than 1080p imo

For me personally, DLSS Quality is amazing in 1440p on Warzone. It looks better than native to me due to the superior AA. The extra 10-15 FPS is a bonus. i don’t use it for the FPS gains, I genuinely think it looks better, as I am over 200 most of the time anyway.
I can’t stand the jaggies and shimmering on anything less than 2x AA and 2x and Fimic make things too blurry for me. DLSS Quality is perfect balance

Makes sense. Crypto is on life support and the 3080 Ti dropped to 1K. Nobody (Unless uninformed) would buy the 12GB when the 3080 Ti is the same price or cheaper.

When can we expect some kind of Nvidia presentation of new cards? I'm hyped for 4000 series. I think I will look for a new power supply later today just to get my rig ready.
At this rate 5000 series will most likely come with its own external power supply and wall plug.

Nice, can't wait. Turns out I have 850W which should be sufficient for 4080.

AMD to Reveal Ryzen 5 5600X3D and Ryzen 9 5900X3D with up to 200MB of Cache (128MB 3D Stacked) Next Month? | Hardware Times
A while back, it was reported that AMD might launch additional Zen 3 SKUs leveraging the 3D V-Cache technology. It would seem that that rumor is indeed true. Well-reputed tipster @Greymon55 has stated that there will be “several new products” headed to the Zen 3D family next month. There’s no...
www.hardwaretimes.com
Because yes, please! I personally still want the 5800X3D, but man, that would be a nice little addition to the AM4 platform. Would also line up with what AMD was saying about AM4 continuing to live a fruitful life. Love to see it. If true, of course.

Sorry to hear your 2080 died. Please don't spend over a thousand on a GPU that will be superseded in like 3 months. Wait for that 4090 and if you need a right now GPU, grab one of those hold me overs.

I intended to replace the paste and pads on my 2080 Ti yesterday, went to open it and noticed all the screws are badly stripped. Guess that's what I get for buying it second hand. It runs crazy hot temps at stock, like 90C with 110C hotspot with the fans at 2500RPM... I have the power limit at 71% and the voltage capped off at like 750mV to keep the hotspot under 90.
I'll have to figure something out. I want to sell it eventually but I can't do that if it's going to melt.
Condolences, I live in fear of this.
