AMD Radeon RDNA2 Navi (RX 6500, 6600, 6700, 6800, 6900 XT)
Updated first post with models, prices, dates, and the great pics from the presentation that @Man from Atlantis posted throughout the thread.

Regular
6900XT used both rage mode and direct access
6800XT graphs used none of those
6800 graph used only direct access
About ray tracing we already knew, and it would have not been anyway a fair comparison because no game out there has optimizations for RDNA2 and they are all RTX sauce
1) I believe they clearly marked the benchmarks using the OC and other features and then clearly show how much the other featuers are adding to it
2) one of the youtubers who got the majority of this right said its faster than the 2xx0 series but not as fast as the 30x0 series. Whatever it is it will run much faster than the consoles which is what the majority of devs will target
3) Adjusting the ram speed is most likely enough to change the performance , the cache speed also changes with clocks of the chip i'd wager
I've fallen in love with the 6800. Btw.....and comes with 16GB VRAM,
i'd prefer 6800 over 3070 easily
Possibly an endless loop of NDAs.
AMD being the chip design, Sony/MS being the console/dev, then the actual games themselves.

they have RT, they mentioned it in the presentation several times, as part of Fidelity FX features
I thought I remembered reading about one of the consoles having a fixed function unit to handle something similar.
I may have got it mixed up with something else since there was a lot of talk about fixed function units increasing performance for small increases of die space.
The open question is in rt performance. It's heavy and dips framerate on nvidia cards. If it was faster on amd that would be great, if it's much slower it might not be at all usable. Many gamers in rt titles prefer using dlss to get the performance back to excellent levels.
But we don't entirely know that on PS5 since it's clocking scheme is different. Nor do we know the amount of time the RX GPUs spend at the various clocks. Both offer more dynamic clocking than what we're used to.
Looks like they made marketing deals so we might find out more on the days of the videos

so perhaps performance will be shared then.
Precisely. I don't mind using DLSS to achieve "playable" performance at high resolution + high quality settings + RT. If AMD's RT performance isn't up to par then that makes this a less compelling offering.
So we expect consoles at about half the performance to run 4k RT at 30-60fps but these new cards are unable to?
