3080 vs 6800XT Considering- Ray Tracing and DLSS

[ricka47 611]

When/if I can find one, I'm in a quandary over these two cards. The biggest advantage from what I can see to the 6800XT is the extra 6 GB of VRAM.

The other features such as better ray tracing and DLSS would favor nVidia. I'm getting a new PC with either a 5900XT or an 11900K. I use it for both play and work. I've vacillated back and forth between the two cards and wonder what others might think?

I've had two Radeon GPUs over the past 20 years.  Both drove me insane - only with simulators  -  fine for all else.  Not going back.  Not being tribal about chipset brands.  Just based on personal experience.

I had only one or two Radeon (I think) over the years and that goes way back. nVidia has done the job for me for a long time so that is something to consider.

Recommend taking a look at Hardware Unboxed video on YouTube about Nvidia driver overhead.  Seems to slot right into the topic of CPU bottlenecked titles.
