[Transient spikes aside]Meanwhile, over in RTX 3090Ti vbios... 450w or more power limits...
AMD's newest halo card has a vbios power limit in the range of the RTX 3070Ti - 3080.
But who cares how it's done as long as Ampere dominates Navi 21? Unfortunately, it doesn't.
Rather embarrassing, IMO.

5ghz is crazy right? I thought they stayed around 2 3ghz

Wow, this might be a beast before their new architecture drops.

AMD RX 7000 is going to be a proper competition to Nvidia's long standing reign, and much more efficient overall compared to what are going to be factory overclocked, higher cuda cored, even more power hungry versions of the RTX 3xxx series.

I am here for it.

My 3080 pulls 425w in full draw, will gladly upgrade to use less power and get another 20FPS or so in the games I play. Will be the first time not owning an nvidia card since the radeon 8500. Feels a little dirty...

But why pay full price for this when you can grab the 6900xt toxic at newegg for $1100. It has the same gpu and overclocks past 2.6 Ghz. This one may beat it at 4k with the faster memory but probably not.

So you come here telling me to buy an older card for less performance that doesn't clock as high and to you it's the same thing? Did you read the article or even know that benchmarks are already in the wild showing a 10-25% increase over the 6900xt. So sick of the people who tell you this is good enough for you, when it's barely an upgrade over what I have.
