Yeah the 6800 with 12 or 16GB RAM would be more appealing, to me anyway.

Performance wise, this card is good, basically the same as the 2080ti but the price is too high. A 70 series cards should be around 350€, 400€ max, more than 500€ for this is simply too much. Nvidia is pricing some of the GPUs too much, i just hope AMD can deliver with big Navi at reasonable prices.
Also i´m glad Hilbert is advising people against scalpers but i wish he also critized hardware companies when they are pushing prices too high, like Nvidia has been doing in the last generations.
Anyway, great review as always!

Very good review. Obviously the card is very energy efficient. But its using well over 200Watts and for me that's a deal breaker. I am somewhat dumfounded that it does not draw 150/170 watts like the 1070. As crazy as it sounds I wonder what how much energy could be saved with a small underclock.

I wonder why the Witcher is such a powerful title for the 2080 Ti compared to every other title in the line up. Strange
Well performing card - hope to see it actually in sales and at a close price to the MSRP.
Witcher 3 is a most likely a driver issue on ampere, the 3080 should pull clear ahead of the 2080ti but its quite impaired, considering its not a cpu limitation based on the 3090 also being slightly faster I'd say a architecture specific optimization might be required.
TPU bench is where I expect performance to be, so this looks unique to the Guru3D benchmark machine.
could be the installed windows CU?

Very nice for $500, but I have a feeling this one will be wrecked by the competition's offerings.
In performance per price, the year-old 5700XT is already breathing into 3070's neck, and can be found today for about $400 (25% cheaper), while only being 30-35% slower (and same RAM size).
Soooo... I'm not sure Nvidia did -enough- with this card, as it is probably not very hard for AMD to catch up to with with a new gaming-focused architecture (Hint Hint: Consoles)
