To the best of my knowledge, there isn't  a shortage of GDDR 6 VRAM... That is one reason that AMD went with GDDR6.

12GB isn't going to cut it ... 16-24GB ... I don't get why this is such an issue with nVidia usless it's a problem with power targets from initial design philosophy/goals?

Cheers, Rob.

If that's true what would keep NV from producing a 3070 Super w/ 16Gb of GDDR6 to grab some of those AMD customers?  NV have loyal patrons and I'm sure it would compete w/ what AMD's lineup includes.  I'd jump just because I've been happy w/ NV for a very long time.

I think you are kidding, right?  Nedo are you anywhere near Füssen?

hehe yes an and no, but i doubt AMD's bigger card will top the 3090, we will see in a few hours.

Füssen is in Bavaria, i am in the state Baden-Württemberg. Füssen aprox 145miles from my place,

you have friends there?

Uh oh, will the BIGGER CARD fit on my mainboard?  I'm pretty sure the 3090 will. I may still buy a 3090 if and when they ever become available again.  Will they?  I had an Founder's Edition in my cart at Nvidia.com but it disappeared before I could complete the purchase!

No friends in Füssen we just stayed nearby in Reutte for 4 days or so near Füssen and visited Füssen several times to enjoy the town and culture.  Haha, like here:  

thanks rob.  this will be interesting to watch.  I wonder if/when nvidia gets the supply chain stable if they will cut 3090/80 prices?

good points.  i was waiting to get a non scalped 3090.  Now I guess I have more thinking to do

The 6800 XT looks like a pretty solid product as well. In the $600 ish range these are much easier to swallow, assuming they are available.

$649 6800 XT 16GB with auto OC and you get the performance equivalent of a $1500 nVidia 3090 24GB ... less 8GB VRAM.

All of the tech articles out there are matching up the 6800 XT with the 3080.

Agree, but the 3090 is only 10-15% improvement over a 3080.  6800XT out of the box is showing avg. (not all games) +7% faster than 3080 and claim lower latency (anti-lag).   

On the 6900XT front, only disappointment is it uses 16GB VRAM also ... was hoping for 24 or 32GB VRAM.

So odds on availability to retail outlets come Nov 18th and Dec 8th?  On the plus side, anyone looking to get a 3080 or 3090 might actually stand a chance of getting one before 2021.

Cheers, Rob.

 

Would you replace a 2080Ti by a 6900XT ?  I understood that Nvidia is better supported by flightsims ?  Maybe not true anymore..

Thank you.

Ya that cause they are coming out with something better than what AMD has, waiting till  intel comes out with pci 4 compatible CPU's  we will see 50GB vram 3000 series cards called XTi or something

Well none of us need 50gb of vram. But we need more than 10 in the 3080. Right now Nvidia is not well aligned with flight sim in their offerings. Neither is their price
