AMD announces the Radeon RX 6800 XT gaming GPU and claims a win against Nvidia's RTX 3080

[Redaktion]

Seems like AMD is winning in so many markets now. Desktop CPUs, server CPUs, AI soon (with the Xilinx acquisition?) and now it finally reclaims the GPU crown with the announcement of the RX 6000 series. The RX 6800 XT model is beating the RTX 3080 in raster performance, gets 6 more GB VRAM, and costs $50 less, but we are hearing the ray tracing performance is not quite there yet.

The real contest will be availability. The manufacturer that can fullfill orders will do best.

Imagine even caring about ray tracing, it's a joke anyways until more support.. which won't come for ages.

Er, no? With consoles now supporting it, every AAA game from 2021 onward is expected to feature raytracing.
