Sure, I was struggling with the choice here myself. First off, perf is the same. I think the XFX is the better-looking product (albeit that is subjective), it is a notch more silent. But my biggest gripe and the decisive factor is pricing. The XFX sells at 749 USD whereas the Sapphire card will sell at 769 USD. That's 799 EUR. And remember this is a card series that sells at 649 USD for the reference model. I understand a 50~75 USD extra for the premium model, but 769 USD is very steep.
But if everybody disagrees with me on this, I'll happily make it a top pick award, this one was difficult to call..
I agree with you, these prices are so high - I doubt there are going to be price drops on either side because NV will position their price for RT performance and AMD will position their price for raster and vram.
This trend of ever increasing GPU prices seems like it will always continue - we've still yet to have any increase in performance at the £200 as well, 480/580/5500..... It's getting absurd.

If this is not a paper launch then I don't know what a paper launch is.....

Far Cry benchmarks mention the 3090 instead of the 6800xt, the incorrect name in the highlighted graph position on 4k results
Sure.

Perceptive, thanks, and fixed.

Quite possibly the model I'm going to get. Sapphire never let me down.
