Well of course. Vanilla 6800 Btw is not looking as the good bangs for the buck with the actual pricing, too. We know it is because of the 16 Gig of VRAM but it definitely would have looked better with a 40-50$ lower price.
Yea 16 vs 8 gigs of ram , performance would be close .
Wonder why they choose these prices with ray tracing being bad
