Hey guys,
I've had a Nvidia gpu for as long as I can remember but this time I think I'm going to get an AMD gpu. Specifically the 6800XT.
I don't really see a reason to wait for reviews because I'm pretty sure the performance is going to be about the same as the RTX 3080. Might be worse in cases, might be better but overall I guess there probably won't be much of a difference in raw performance.
If I'm being completely honest, the main reason I want to switch over to AMD is the fact that AMD's 6800XT comes with 16gb of gddr6 while the RTX 3080 comes with 10gb gddr6x. I really believe the 3080's memory capacity is going to hold it back at some point in the future. Maybe it will even happen next year. There are already a few examples of games using a lot of vram like Watch Dogs Legion and Microsoft Flight Simulator.
That said, there are a few things holding me back from switching to AMD like bad drives - I've heard of people running into a lot of issues with AMD's drivers with 5700XT. I also had a laptop with an AMD gpu and installing amd drivers on that thing was a nightmare.
I also fear I might miss out on some new and old Nvidia features like RTX, HBAO+, TXAA, DSR etc.
So.. what do you guys think? Have you run into any troubles with AMD drivers? Have you switched to AMD from Nvidia and missed the features?
I know there arent any reviews for the amd gpus yet but I would like your opinion based on what we've seen so far
