AMD teases new Big Navi Graphis card and Ryzen 9 5900X combo
You probably have not missed it but in its presentation today AMD also gave away a sneak preview of Big Navi, the GPU importing the next generation Raytracing capable graphics cards from AMD.
The sneak peek was just that though, showing the card and some game performance. In Borderlands 3 with the Ryzen 9 5900X and a 'Radeon 6000 Series' card reached over 60 frames per second at 4K (which is RTX 3080 territory). In addition, the combo manages to achieve a frame rate of 88 fps at the same 3840 x 2160 resolution in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare with the quality settings on Ultra. Gears of War 5 achieves 73 fps at Ultra. That again is RTX 3080 territory. The real problem, however, is that it is unclear how exactly AMD tested the games. Be it with an integrated benchmark, if available, or with a real game scene. AMD doesn't go into that exactly.
AMD specifies the Badass preset from Borderlands 3, the Ultra preset from Gears 5 and "Ultra" from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Modern Warfare has no presets at all, presumably it is simply the maximum graphic details, but probably without ray tracing. Borderlands 3 would run in the highest possible level of detail, while Gears 5 has two higher levels of detail. In addition, DirectX 12 is used as the API.
The official presentation of the Radeon RX 6000 series based on RDNA 2 will take place on October 28th . Availability and first tests can be expected in the following weeks, probably in mid-November.

I feel it would kill the RDNA2 announcement if they've already shown us the performance of their top tier card. I think they would want to surprise us here. Maybe? Price though. Need a price.

Guru3d review showed 3080 gears 5 at 76fps not 81fps.

the benchmarks they presented showed its 10% slower than RTX 3080 (which means its probably less).... I dont know if they got any RT acceleration but since it could be their first card with it its probably much much behind the current RTX cards....
Bottom line - over hyped and nothing impressive here....
Do you really expect them to show their hand in a preview, how about this that was the lowest tier card, how would that work in your world?

The being 10% slower than 3080 is what disappoints me a bit too, I was hoping for at least matching performance on the 6900(XT?). Ofcourse it may not be the 6900, but since the 6700 is supposedly matching 2080Ti speeds, I'm guessing it's not that one either.
I'm actually quite impressed by 10% behind 3080
... considering that their last card is 44% behind 3080
That's quite a jump Y2Y !
At least the showed card is nearly twice as fast as the 5700XT/Radeon VII, in 4K, so not all hope is yet lost, but since AMD apparently wasn't impressed by the 3090's performance, I kind of expected more...
But of course, price will decide if it's worth it. And I have a strong feeling it will (even if just slightly)... And the 16GB will probably give it longer lifetime inside the computer.
I'll probably get one anyway. ESPECIALLY if it's (much) cheaper (and better obtainable) than the 3080. Because it's more than twice as fast as my Vega 64.
