High end cards have NEVER been a good value. The price per performance ratio drops like a rock. Its been that way for 20 years. Unlikely to change now.Not very good value compared to RX 6800 XT. 3090 has more RAM so it at least has that advantage over 3080 and Radeons. Performance wise they are all so close in rasterisation that it doesn't matter. Pretty much the one which is cheapest is the best buy (and offers the features you want).
3090 has 2.4x more RAM compare to 3080 and according to Nvidia it can play 8k games. It is in a different league.A 3090 is only 5% faster than a 3080 in some situations. And it cost $1500.
Does having 2.4x more RAM suddenly make a GPU "different league"? What about all of these low-end GPUs with 2x more RAM than expected that never will be utilized, are these also better than their counterparts? 3090 is 10-20% faster at most, not enough for 2x the price to be justified.3090 has 2.4x more RAM compare to 3080 and according to Nvidia it can play 8k games.

And suddenly a similar AMD gpu is just "enhanced", because it doesn't have a lot more RAM?6900XT is enhanced 6800XT. So no wonder 6800XT is slightly slower than 3080 while 6900XT is slightly faster than 3080.
I agree 3090 is a rip off. It is for those to show off and brag. I am just a little disappointed with 8900XT, it is more like 3080 than 3090.

This all assumes being able to buy these GPUs at MSRP which is a fairly tale of course![]()
was i asleep for 5 yrs that amd has a 8900XT?8900XT
lol i think i am one of the most hated person on this forum because of this:Still trying to get my hands on an RX 6800XT or RTX 3080. Can't find
The 3090 is a ripoff
After writing that, I went and got one myself. We're all suckers around here.i completely agree but getting a 3090 is i feel a bit easier then a 3080 or 3070 and the original price vs markup is also the lowest amongst the other cards.
The 6900XT seems to pop up reasonably often even outside the AMD.com drops, at least here in Canada. There were a couple Merc 319's at my local shop today. The 3060 Ti and 3080 are the truly unobtainable cards here.After writing that, I went and got one myself. We're all suckers around here.It would have been a ripoff compared to the 3080ti, but since there is no way that card is going to be easily available for $1000 and have 20GB memory like the inital leaks, it's actually a decent deal now.
The 6900XT seems like the rarest of all the new cards. The 3090 shows up every now and then but I hardly ever see the 6900XT.
I've got a few 10% off coupons that will apply to select GPU's and Ryzen 5xxx series CPU"s, but I've never been able to catch them in stock yet. I don't need either anyways, but ;figured I could sell them off at MSRP locally and make a few extra bucks....Maybe another $20 on top for the troubles.park yourselves on the Best Buy website
Your rig looks to be underperforming for some reason or another. Memory out of sync? Your GPU clocks are jumping all around during Graphic test #1 which is kind of puzzling. If it was your resolution it would say Custom....I did a run with your resolution.This is what I get stock settings no OC at 3440x1440. My gtx 1080 only scored 7731 so this is 216.5% of that.![]()
His score is right in line with what I scored at full stock on the 6900xt reference card I briefly had. The power limit is just too low and the card gets real hot even at stock since they tuned the fan profile for silence.I've got a few 10% off coupons that will apply to select GPU's and Ryzen 5xxx series CPU"s, but I've never been able to catch them in stock yet.

Here's a run I made on my rig after doing a fresh install. The CPU, GPU, and the memory are running at the default MB's clocks....Memory is defaulted to 2133MHz to boot. Setting my memory to 3600 CL14 gains me another 1100pts.

That run was with the out of the box default settings for cpu, gpu, and the memory defaulted to 2133MHz. SAM was not enabled.You know what im shocked about.
How my old 7920X pulled a higher cpu score then your 5900X
Is 3dmark still favored by intel processors?
I know intel used to cheat in 3dmark, but i honestly thought you would pull higher on that 5900X with same core count.
In real honesty i thought id even lose to Puff's 3900X.
But anyhow here is a direct comparison to the all mighty 3090.

Overall i think the 6900XT is a excellent card.
It was considerably cheaper, looking at 3090 FTW Ultra 1799.99 vs my 6900XT Nitro+ @ 1268.99
Did you have SAM on when you did those benchmarks?
yeah that's what i was expecting....Normally the 5900x scores around the 15k mark.
It seems to be especially good at lower resolutions, and is sometimes faster there. Maybe the best card for those 1440p 165hz monitors. The 3090 only pulls away at 4K or VR resolutions.Overall i think the 6900XT is a excellent card.

I just need a 5900X to pair up the 6900XT i have.It seems to be especially good at lower resolutions, and is sometimes faster there. Maybe the best card for those 1440p 165hz monitors. The 3090 only pulls away at 4K or VR resolutions.
Your clocks look like you're running your card at stock settings. The above tests show memory and core overclocking.Well I just can't seem to get mine up that high.

You know I never checked the gpu bios switch to see where it was set. SAM doesn't work with the 3 series on my mb although I've seen some tests where it does with others.Your clocks look like you're running your card at stock settings. The above tests show memory and core overclocking.
Are you trying to overclock or just running stock? 18,500 is what I would see on my 6900xt reference card at stock, even paired with a 5950x with SAM enabled.
