I’m thinking of picking up a pre-built PC since this one even with a new SSD is still slow and parts are so hard to find right now or are being price gouged. I can get the same setup prebuilt for almost the same price as building it myself.

I can go with one company that only uses the Nvidia RTX 3080/3090

Or a different one that’s uses the AMD RX 6800 XT/6900

I’ve read both the 3090 and 6900 are more work station cards so I’m not going to spend the extra on those and the 6800 is at most 10% slower then the 6900 and in some tests the 6800 beats it.

I’m leaning towards the 6800, does anyone have real life experience with it instead of just review sites or experience with the 3080?

Thanks.

I have used a 3080 regularly and have a friend with a 6800xt. After comparing the two, its really up to... do you EVER want to use RTX? and do you ever plan to use the features nvidia provides (like rtx voice, nvenc encoding, etc). They are quite similar in power when it comes to non-rtx loads. Personally, I prefer the 3080 because of the extra features and the very small price difference isnt enough to make a difference.

Though, there is a rumored 3080ti coming early next year, and since there is no nvidia card between $700 and $1500 you can be sure they will fill the price bracket. I would wait if you can afford a card a bit more expensive than the 3080.

So only the 6900 or 3090 or wait for a refresh?
