Can't wait to get my hands on these cards in two years.
2 years? I'm waiting for these cards to show up at the refurbished market.
I cant wait to get it in 10 years
Yup
Same
Looks at this optimistic guy.
At this point I don’t even care if it’s a nvidia or Radeon card I just want to be able to buy a freaking new card...
ffs honestly it’s so annoying i went to micro center at 4:30am and found out they only had 12 GPUs at the minnesota one
for real tho
@@MikeyZ_ And how many people in line?
Same, I literally don't care which one I end up with, just gonna buy whichever one I can find.
@2BuckGeo uh... shut up?
Even if it's not as good as Nvidia overall, the fact that AMD pretty much caught up in gaming performance (without ray-tracing) is promising for their future GPUs
Not for us because they will raise the prices to the same level as Nvidia and so we will have a fight of performances such as Apple and Samsung are doing T.T AMD will lose their charm and become a performer industry instead of becoming a gamer-broke-friendly company
@@Jok3rzZ117 You do realise that the only reason Nvidia's cards such as the 3080 are so cheap relative to the 2080 ti which sold for 1100 or so MSRP and often far above in reality is because of AMD right? If it wasn't for AMD, Nvidia would be charging 1000 plus for the 3080 most likely. Competition is good as it drives DOWN prices, not raises them up and if AMD beats Nvidia at some stage outright and puts up their prices, then you can just go to Nvidia for cheaper. And there will always be cheaper cards released as well. Whereas if Nvidia or AMD are outright winning for far too long, they'll up prices to ridiculous levels.
@@Jhakaro So you're saying people should stop buying nvidia to put them in their place and get the rtx5000 series for next to nothing?
@@Jhakaro i feel like this would be true but in the current availability situation i dont think it really fucking matters.
Seems like the same story for the past decade with them. Zero reasons to ever buy their GPUs.

Thank you for adding more discussion on the professional workloads and benchmarks. This adds a lot of real world value to your (already great) videos.
Title: AMD did not disappoint me
literally the whole video: telling how RTX 30-series is better than the new Radeon.
😅🤦♂️
No he’s talking about what they delivered, 30 series won on modes that not much people use atm, come on now do you use ray tracing?
He is doing just correct review on AMD vs NVIDIA. That thing he is not disappointed makes sense, because AMD delivered everything what was promised.
@@younghentaii1772 Because all the other bullshit reviews floating about on the net are not reviewing the whole package, Would you purchase a TV based on just it's sound quality without seeing the image quality? Literally pretty much all other reviewers stopped at rasterisation instead of comparing the products correctly.
@@younghentaii1772 yeah atm cuz they don’t got the new cards but for the once that do get them they probably will otherwise why pay for all that power and not use it
Bad time to be a gamer. No GPUs in stock,no new CPUs stock and no new consoles in stock. Nice
@@fffUUUUUU 😂
only bad if you dont have one in place
And barely any games came out in 2020

haha yup i was ready to shell out for both new consoles and a new gpu this month, but i've now decided to wait on all of them until probably this time next year, or beyond. snooze you lose amd/sony/microsoft/nvidia
The fact that these charts aren't in order from highest framerates to lowest really grinds my gears.
This
ikr, they need to know how to make easy to read graphs
thanks!!! I was like.... SO HARD TO READ
Yeah its annoying, unless you pause the video on each graph you cant really tell what's going on
Convenient for me though because I don't care about the dlss benchmarks

2:26
I'm actually seeing so many people on forums telling others to choose AMD over Nvidia, bringing up the fact that AMD will also have a DLSS-like feature so there's nothing else keeping them from buying a Radeon right ? Smh
@@takk1 2:25
Let's just thank AMD for somewhat getting back into competition in gaming GPUs and making nvidia a bit more worried, which will likely lead to appearance of even better GPUs in future (Like it was with super series)
The last video card I bought was a GTX 570. Good god has everything improved so much since then. Might hold out on a new build for another year or two.
Real talk though, Linus has not only aged well, but looks a million times better with his beard. Good on you man!
Having not watched him for a couple years completely agreeee
Genuinely, he's gone from nerd to sexy, I'm questioning my sexuality...
Homie needs a trim tho. Has the geek look to it
@@davkdavk he is a geek 🤦♂️
Shame his videos went all downhill
So we're back to the days of "Which is better?" "It depends a lot."
It never left
That's great tho, competition is good for consumers
Which is better is whoever can get some F*cking stock first.
Nah it's still the same amd is for value and Rtx is for ppl with money
@@WahotsW Based on what I'm seeing on Twitter right now, AMD might get stomped on availability. It's looking worse than Nvidia's launch early on.
Just upgraded to a 6800 from my old R9 290 from 7 years ago. So cool to see you talk about it right at the start, cause I remember watching your old video about it from way back then
I'm still rocking that 7970 Ghz edition, but I'd like to upgrade soon. One experience I've had that I think will work out in AMD's favor for their new cards is that the performance and features just kept getting better for years. Software features can be added with driver updates, and if you look at old 7970 vs. GTX 670 reviews, they were neck in neck at release, but 2 years later the 7970 had a 15% performance lead. Also, just like the new cards, it had twice as much VRAM which made way better in the long run.
Linus logic:
-Negative Title and dissapointed face for a positive review
-Positive Title and satisfied face for a negative review.
All warfare is based on deception.
- Sun Tzu
Not really... you didnt even watch, you pathetic kids just copy top comment and ruin fact bringers.. youtube needs to have a useless wrong information vote button to make you kids sink
People don't realize how true this is. Just watch his RTX 3070 review. Negative title and face, but praises it for 90% of the video and talks about the supply issues for like 30 seconds. Here, positive title and face, then proceeds to talk about how much Radeon is missing and how it's not worth buying, but talks about the cards having good gaming performance for like 30 second...
@@4mash this isnt true, the conclusion is the title and his conclusion for these cards is that amd didnt disappoint. watch the whole video
@@dertythegrower Dang, someones salty. If he was really simply a "fact bringer," then he wouldn't of click-baited the video. Not hating on Linus for doing such as that is what every other CZcamsr does to get more clicks, but take that into account. People come thinking that AMD crushed nvidia, as that's basically what linus's first video on these cards was, because he uses a title suggesting that the cards lived up to his expectations. If anyone needs to sink, its you. If you were capable of critical thinking, maybe you would of noticed the stark contrast between the title and the video.
no guys, you are not all first.....
who is first is our sponsor Glasswire
hehe
I found the funny
funny im dying of laughter
@Vecopotryx nice
haha i actually loled a little, good one
Disappointing stock levels are a must for every new computer part this year.
Just buckle in it is probably going to be like that for a few years.
3 years later, 6800 price is now below 3070 price, and 3070 frame rate with rt on is so poor that players do not activate it, so this is no more an advantage over rx6900.
Title: AMD did NOT disappoint me
Video: AMD did disappoint him
Well, yes and no..
I had a 2080, hoping to snag a 3080. Never used ray tracing or dlss. 6800xt looking good for alot less 👁👄👁
Literally 50$ less for roughly same performance and 1/4 of the features. Oh and Radeon drivers.
Yes but actually no
Gaming performance, didn’t dissapoint
Features outside of gaming but still relevant to gamers... dissappointing.
Linus: "AMD did not disappoint"
Proceeds with 10 minutes of disappointments.
nah, those "disappointments" are expected. did you seriously expect AMD to go toe to toe with nVidia immediately? their drivers are always trash, it's their first gen Ray Tracing architecture and they don't have nearly the development budget for flashy features like nVidia has, most of which most people won't use.
yeah, i dont get that either
I expect more form rx 6800xt.
Also the small community at linux gang would prefer amd GPU anyway
@@TheObsesedAnimeFreaks pretty sure linus gets some form of kickback from amd that he doesn't reveal. pretty much all amd videos have pro amd titles but never provide reasons to buy amd over intel or nvidia.
So it's finally almost as good? Progress, I'm supporting the cause and going AMD this time.

@@SpedRockt it gained a 120 fps on the benchmarks
@@bevercage6673 120 fps compared to 40 around 😂 ( i forgot how much amd performed in minecraft rtx ).
Frankly, anyone expecting Nvidia to be embarrassed by AMD was batshit insane.
Not 6 months ago Nvidia cracked the market by releasing cards that were more than twice as powerful as the previous gen and for half the price.
AMD also spent its last years slaying the Intel beast more and more. And you expected them to both humiliate Intel, catch up to years of delay to Nvidia, and destroy Nvidia when it has the best gen in years?
AMD managed to go from being the backwater company to catching up to Nvidia and beating them in the classic department. Winning in Raytracing in their first RT gen when Nvidia already has one behind was never going to happen. AMD deserves a pat on the back and a kiss for what they've done already, that's an excellent growth.
Also, people don't mention this enough, but AMD relies on Vulkan and DX12 to power up a good part of its RT, as I understand it. Will that make them beat Nvidia? Almost definitely not, but it means the gap will shorten.
Shorthand of this gen's war is that if you want solid, powerful, classic graphics, and Linux gameplay or have a FreeSync screen, AMD is the better choice. If you want 4K/GSync and full RT power, Nvidia is the choice. If you care for none of those points, 6800 XT vs 3080 is pretty much a tie and either card will greatly satisfy you. Great job AMD for actually managing this.
All good points.
2 things though. 1) Tons of Freesync monitors work with Nvidia GPUs, just double check before you buy - no reason to pay the Gsync premium. 2) Is 6 months ago a typo? Cause 30 series released 2 months ago... in any event these companies know what their competition is bringing. And did Nvidia just cut the price in half out of the goodness of their heart? I don't think so. I think they knew what big Navi had in store - they could guess from extrapolating the new console specs if nothing else - and lowered their price. If the 6800xt had come out with performance around a 2080 Ti, I promise you the rtx3080 would cost $1000 MSRP.
It's what I've been trying to preach to people, dont be team red or team green, be team COMPETITION. When they're neck and neck WE win. :)
More than twice as powerful for half the pruce? Were you high when you wrote this? Did you lie on purpose or is this just malicious misrepresentation?

Driver updates
arent AMD drivers known to be kind of trash?
@@Longshotsz amd has this thing, where the drivers are the one that tends to hold back the gpus, so as time goes on, the drivers gets updated, making the gpus run faster than when they released.

@@superblitz2274 You ok there? I can smell the Nvidia fanboyism lol
I think these MSRP comparisons are really only applicable in the US, provided you got one of the reference cards. In my country ( România) the 3070 starts at roughly 850 US dollars. I'm hoping I can get an rx 6800 tomorrow which is about 800 dollars here. Between the two, I like the 16gb vram on the RX 6800 and I don't care all that much about the other features.
THANK YOU! for saying the word analogous! I was trying to use it last night in a text and it was driving me nuts that I couldn't remember the word! I just knew it's definition and how to use it. I kept thinking of the word allegory. Ugh, I could kiss your script writer right now lol.

And all the other REVIEWERS, but set the rage mode on to the customers...🙄
I'm really getting tired of Linus giving new products positive reviews to save face on his initial impression reviews. Fact is, AMD dropped the ball with raytracing on this card.
@@Zaneris RT is not the problem of the card - it is, as since first RX series 4 years ago - MEMORY STARVED - go watch Gamer Meld's video. RX 6800 XT Overclocks like there is no tomorrow (up to 2675 Mhz stable) but for literally no performance gain in 99% of the titles. This card should have been with HBM
AMD proceeds to disappoint........#denial
Wait isn't that a pun
When he says Amd did NOT disappoint me .
i thought the NOT bold in titles meant it was good but nvidia is still a better option...
Linus: “It doesn’t disappoint me!”
Also Linus: it sucks so bad
ikr lmao, it does suck imo
@Nec Ro who?
Bruh
it might suck but amd is very different to nvidia. amd has still room for improvements regarding rtx, because amd hasnt considered that yet. and also those cards are meant for productivity and is not very suitable for high res gaming.
What percentage of people are streaming? If you game at 1080p or 1440p without Ray Tracing...(90%+ of PC gamers?) The choice seems pretty easy to me. If Ray tracing, streaming and the software/productivity features are a must... Then get an RTX 3080 if you can find one retail.
Awesome review as always. Really enjoy your content! Question though: what are your thoughts on the vram difference? Im gaming at 4k and want to upgrade soon.
That intro is one hell of a sign to upgrade, considering I am running that exact r9 290 screamer/blower whatever you want to call this banshee howling cooler while watching this video. That said, at 1080p, this card STILL holds up. Thanks for the drivers, AMD.
I like how i always see prices which are never seen in an actual shop.
69th like nice
Exactly. A 3080 for $699?
That is almost never the price that consumers pay. FE cards are basically non-existent and the AIB cards carry markups of between $100-300 USD
RDNA 2 supply is expected to continue rolling in over the coming weeks and months but demand is insanely high for GPUs in general so gamers will have to be sharp and stand by the F5 key in order to snag a card at MSRP.
I.e. in Aus - 3070 for $1150 vs 6800 for $950... seems semi no-brainer at those rates... and a 6800xt at $1050
So comparing 6800XT to 3070, no brainer?
Not that it matters, there's no stock of any.
In Germany the Asus rog strix 3080 from an actual computer shop goes to almost 1000 EUR....
ROG Strix 3080 is $1049 in the US from my distributor (D&H)... Whenever it returns to being available. I've seen it in stock twice since Sept 1st
Honestly this is a absolute joke at this point. Bots and scalpers take everything within seconds because there’re about 7 cards stocked.
i know right, scalpers pushed rtx 3070 prices up to 750$ in my area,
just why?
I still don't understand why they haven't placed a captcha system to prevent at least the bots from buying
@@Armetron CAPTCHA can be bypassed easily though, they should really just implement 1 per address or card type limits or make queues that allow for one unique entry only. But then again they are still making money so why bother
@@JimRussels If these cards are getting grabbed, it means nvidia underpriced them. They could've priced 3070 at 250$ more and reduced price 6 months later
They do it because it works people are dumb enough to buy, and its the same people that bought all the medical supplys when the pandemic started to sell them at a significant markup, i think robbing or doing worse to them is absolutely okay at this point, i mean nobody needs those people anyway.
These cards are even faster now with AMD's newer drives. Considerably faster in fact. 6800 beats a 3070 almost always now.
It actually reaches around the 3080. Around only 10% slower.
as it should, 6800 competed with 3080 not 3070, its not price that determines level, its bus width and tier or card, nvidia charge extra for ai and cuda and other stuff linus mentioned in this video, while rx 6900 direct rival was 3090, later rx 6950 xt vs 3090 ti. 3070 rival was and still is 6700 xt
For me the feature to save the last minute as a video clip in shadow play on Nvidias side, is really the feature I can't get out of my mind anymore and amd doesn't have such a good ingame overlay and recording software, so I did also go for team green at this point with an rtx 3070

I thought you weren’t disappointed ... this sounds kinda disappointing
You can’t be disappointed if you were already expecting this
well it's the closest they got vs nvidia in years, also they delivered on what they advertised, still not better than Nvidia but that was the case with first gen ryzen vs Intel wasn't it? It's a promising result to say the least. But for these prices are not an option really.
@@inadover you're a genius

its a big jump from AMD cards literally being unusable to trading blows with NVIDIA. It should not be disappointing to have some competition in this market.
Can’t believe that they are aiming at ANOTHER 50% Perf Per Watt in ONLY 1 yr.

Feedback: Actually the review was a bit confusing. I can see how AMD fell short in RT. But I really did not get a clear indicator of just overall performance across a wide array of games.
I get it is weaker in RT and lacks features compared to 3XXX, but I lack any real info on performance for the games I play or value comparison.
I would prefer if you guys had another go at it, with another video showing some standard benchmarks, across more games and maybe a few synthetics.
It will probably be the same conclusion. But I do not feel like I was brought along for the ride of what lead to that logic.
Watch hardwarecanucks vid.
Or Hardware Unboxed
+1 for Hardware Unboxed. Their video is more in depth and covers 18 games at different resolutions. I watched it before the LTT video and came away with a far clearer understanding of the relative performance of each card. Spoiler alert, they found the 6800XT to be superior at 1440p while the 3080 does better at 4k. They also didn't see such a huge disparity with RT in the games they tested (although terrible performance in Minecraft RTX seems pretty certain).
Basically there is no meaningful difference between them in real world rasterised gaming but once you turn RT on AMD fall behind a lot and then in games that have both RT and DLSS 2.0 support the 6800 series is getting bested by even a 2060 super. Ouch.
yeah basically none of the games i play have ray tracing, nor do i have a 4k monitor, nor do i do rendering or video editing. i’d like to see some other comparisons.
Lovely. Hopefully these can be found on the shelves soon and maybe I can get a used 2070 or something for cheap.

I literally just guessed the sponsor, but first, here's this amazingly smooth Segway into our sponsor, glass wire
Why wasn't the large VRAM difference mentioned in the review? I always had a hunch this was gonna cause issues much sooner than people realized and I was right. Very happy I went with the 6800XT over a 3080. The 16GB VRAM allows the Radeon GPUs to max out textures for another couple of years, literally giving you a better looking game without tanking FPS. Ray Tracing requires extra VRAM so that's out of the equation.
Most gamers upgrade their GPU every 4-5 years or so. Taking this into account, **unless you're the kind of enthusiast who upgrades every 2 years to get top gear**, the AMD cards were and still are a MUCH better buy and in my opinion this should have been obvious for tech experts.
Keep in mind a lot of people make their purchasing decisions based off reviews and advice from channels like LTT. I personally know a lot of 8-10GB RTX3000 owners that now wish they went with AMD's 12-16GB cards. There is a mismatch between GPU power and VRAM for Nvidia cards, which is a serious issue that AMD cards don't have. The 4070Ti and 4080 will also choke on VRAM long before the GPUs become "slow", which is unacceptable considering their ridiculous price tags, making the 7900 cards or even a 6950XT automatically a better buy for most gamers. Some new games already require over 14GB VRAM.
This should be adressed by LTT imo. Other channels have already made videos about it. I'm just wondering why you didn't see this coming and didn't even acknowledge the VRAM difference at all in your reviews.
"AMD is gonna move a lot of these seeing as how you can't actually buy an RTX card"

The GPU market is an absolute shitshow man. Unacceptable, except we have no choice but to bend the knee.
"AMD did NOT disappoint me"
Complains about the card the entire video.
AMD is objectively worse than NVIDIA with some exceptions, and even those exceptions are minimal.
Also I'm not a fanboy to any brand.
He pointed out things that are true. Do you prefer that all reviewers just gush over the thing that they're reviewing, without pointing any weaknesses or issues?
RX 6k is not a disappointment by any means.
RX 4/500 was a disappointment.
If AMD had priced it $50 less than NVIDIA instead of $50 above, they would be in a very compelling spot given the issues with their card are marginal. But for $50 more you get equal performance on most titles at full resolution, worse performance compared to DLSS, worse productivity, and no AI enhancements.
@@detenator1 the 6800xt is 50 cheaper than the 3080, though the 6800 is 80 more than the 3070
@@Sheltada Now that you mention it I do remember that from their previous video. Honestly I don't care about DLSS or AI much so I'd probably go AMD if I was buying one right now.
Something that no one mentions is that AMD released 4 major products this year. That is crazy hard, and I am without a doubt certain that a LOT of people will still not be happy with what AMD has done. Nvidia had to release only one product line and they blew it.
Nice to see some high-end competition finally come back

Here we are in the future in September 2023 on the eve of the release of the RX 7800 and STARFIELD, and I just ordered a new 6800 for just £349. I also ordered a new Asrock Intel Arc A770 for £190.
Yes, folks in November 2020, Intel actually did it. They made some GPUs, and even got some partners on board (Asrock, Acer and Sparkle). And they ain't half-bad, though it's taken almost a year of driver updates to get them mostly stable and performing quite well.
They don't run STARFIELD though. But then hardly anything does, not above 60 FPS, even at 1080p - not without upscaling.
Anyway, I already have a new RTX 4070 in my main rig thanks to some interest-free credit, but I've got addicted to buying and messing about with alternative GPUs now that they are not ridiculously priced... apart from the ultra high-end stuff.
The RTX 4090 is a beast but its MSRP is £1599... Nvidia became the scalpers, folks!
Oh, anyone in the past want to buy a used RTX 3070? It's 2023 and 8Gb just doesn't cut it any more.
I just brought mine for £440😭
Get the RX 6800 XT, i'm maxing out all my shit at 1440p with over 140 fps no stutters.

Just a nice way of saying AMD lost again but it's still decent lol
@@NuthinButRespect I see it more as a first gen radeon moment. At this point nvidia can either get it in gear and buckle down with their engineering, or they can go the way of intel by next generation. By next generation unless nvidia makes another significant jump, AMD will be on top, just like how Ryzen is now on top of Intel's offerings.
@@mtnentertainment3454 nividia has proved that there not gonna stay idle like Intel, they are pushing out more cards for January.
Yup 6800xt for just 50 cheaper doesn't make a lot of sense,and the stock situation isn't any better(some say it's worse than Nvidia)
6:32 12 year old me LMAO!!!!
This is a great point about productivity. 10% gain or loss in rendering or compute isn't a deal breaker for me. But lacking software and driver support is.
Another "not a paper launch" where retailers get like 15 cards to sell and ebay slingers are the big winners.
That's why they should launch entry-level and low-end to mid-range GPUs first. Like the sub-mid range rx5700xt or low-end rx 480/580 back in 2016 and 2019.
These die sizes are way too big for big volume.
@@badass6300 But those also meet waaayyy more demand, and make a worse impression on the customer (first impression of high end vs first impression of low end/mid range)
I dont get the issue. Let the first early adapters fight between themselves, and when the manufacturer fixes glitches, problems and the price is a tad lower, then buy one. Early buyers are nothing more than test benches for the manufacturer.
ebay slingers are only winners if people buy them at their ridiculous prices... which no one should do. Just wait for more stock.
@@christoph6055 except that you get about 6-8x times more cards and you also need less PCB components, less VRAM, so yeah.
Also, 95%+ of people buy GPUs under 400$ according to AMD and Nvidia's financial reports literally every year.

I don't think Blender has added yet the modifications to fully take advantage of these cards' ray tracing. I'd wait a few weeks to see what the RT price/performance looks like in that DCC app.
My choice of new-gen GPU is what I can get on the market without buying from scalpers.
