Hmm, so RT performance kinda lower than Ampere as expected. I'm curious about power consumption and price

I mean quite a few locals here thought they will have a hard time beating Turing (2080Ti) in raster let alone RT.
Yes they have another higher end model. We need to wait but this is looking pretty good from a performance point of view. Maybe there will be a little bit of performance gain with final driver.
Decent RT performance and what looks like blockbuster raster. Looking pretty good.

Also Zen3/Ryzen 5000 - Oct 8 - Nov 5 retail, presumably reviews on that date or somewhat before
Yes, looks like these results could be more than just rumours and close to final performance, but for RX 6800 XT? Honestly, i didn´t expect this kind of performance for 6800 or 6800 XT, so we can expect a 15-20% extra for 6900 XT? Maybe they made it and will take RTX 3090s rasterization performance crown after all? Remember not just 4K but 1080p and 1440p will be interesting too.
Its impressive what AMD achieved and a very wellcome back at highend gaming graphics cards indeed.
RDNA2 won´t dominate everything though, its fair to expect Ampere will still lead in some aspects or games, RT in general for example, although it could vary depending on implementation, but it will be a close race in rasterization and competitive in RT. Sweet spot for video memory too with 16GB. Lets see prices, power/temp/noise, and drivers, AA...I´m more interested in RX 6700, should be close to RTX 3070/2080 Ti and enough for 1440p and high fps for a good price/power.

So what you're saying is you're happy spending many hundreds of dollars on a GPU, but not 100 on a more powerful psu?
If someone have told me AMD can beat Turing in RT, I would have laugh. I am a console gamer(PS5) and I am happy PS5 and XSX will be good because of AMD progress in CPU and GPU architecture. And the result is more competition is equal to better price for PC gamers, a 3080 at 699 dollars is great or great price for 3070.
It looks good so far but Port Royale uses RT lightly. Control will be real stress test. I don't know of any upcoming games that use RT as heavily. I think Call of Duty is just shadows and Legion is just reflections.
Minecraft and Quake 2 with pure pathtracing will be interesting benchmark too.

If RX 6700 XT is close to 2080 Ti performance at 1440p and less than 200W, thats my sweet spot too. But as long as RDNA2 top cards manage a 15% lead in perf/watt over ampere which could be more or less expected from node advantage 7 vs 8, its good too beeing on par or slighty ahead. Not that ampere is bad at perf/watt at all, its better than turing and anything previously released so far. I´m more concerned in heat dissipation though. RTX 30s temps are fine, but not every chip is easy cooled even if it has less power. Ryzen 3000 for example, its power efficient but tends to be a bit hot, not easy to cool 7nM example...
Yeah, I mentioned that before in this thread and opened a can of worms. Be careful lol.
I am sure they will have one. I heard at least one of the two console platform holder recently introduce some deep learning reconstruction algorithm in is SDK.
Im innocent! Im not gonna discuss the merits of DLSS, we have the other thread for it. But its fairly obvious AMD will present something similar on the 28th. I was just excited about it
Thanks for posting those dates, I added the industry events tied to them.
I totally forgot that they were usually tied to industry events even though I know I watched most of those listed.
At risk of beeing offtopic, in my case DLSS-like or some other AA implementation would be wellcome too but not essential, just an extra. Its just AA method after all, one with great perft/quality if you want. I usually play at 4K native with no AA at all or 1440p high refresh for some games. If graphics card performance is up to it, i may enable AA in the form of MSAA or good old high quality filters but avoid using temporal AA and its terrible IQ in a lot of games...
