AMD’s upcoming flagship GPUs should be 3x faster than RX 6900XT
If the rumors can be believed, GPU performance will triple sometime next year.

Why? They said 6800xt was supposed to be on par with 3080 and it is (other than ray tracing bullshit). This is a move down to 5nm from 7nm so it should be huge, basically from the article, doubling the shaders and Cus.
I hope they do kick Nvidias ass. The prices on both will reflect that. Competition is a good thing.

Since it'll all still be impossible to get, MSRP is irrelevant, the secondary market pricing will be just as awful.

The EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 Series are colossally powerful in every way, giving you a whole new tier of performance. It's powered by the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, which doubles down on ray tracing and AI performance with enhanced RT Cores, Tensor Cores, and new streaming multiprocessors...

Dude you literally just posted a video with Linus talking about how impressive Ray Tracing tech actually is, and how it's most definitely going to be the future choice for devs even if it isn't immediate obvious to consumers. RT isn't bullshit.

I sort of believe it? Last gen was a die shrink and this gen should be the architectural improvements.

They might have to pay more for employees , I don't get why companies with crappy jobs for crappy wages wonder why no one wants to work for them

there doesn't seem to be a way to actually buy the card, the button you would hit to have them email you is missing

Too many people bagging easy UE benefits instead of working. I know more than a few people who can't find people to work.
Then these lazy assholes will turn around and whine when their UE benefits dry up and they find those jobs have moved overseas.

you have to be evga elite to get in the preorder wait list for the king, it'll open up to all plebs after 24 hours. expect months long queue wait times for the privilege of paying MSRP lol

The elephant in the room here are the consoles: The tech leaders (Sony and Microsoft) are in the AMD camp, the latest generation just released, and most AAA titles have to either support consoles, or are primarily targeted at console players.
This isn't to say that RT tech in itself is a hindsight, it is just that AMD's tech is probably the first/generic implementation. What Nvidia has done for years after losing the console war, is to literally throw money and their own developers at the studios. This is why you get "optimized for newest AAA title" drivers at launch. The drivers are a 600 MB download because of all the bloat and special code paths for all those AAA games, so they can claim "the way it's meant to be played."
AMD on the other hand moved some CPU engineers to the GPU division to share their secret chiplet sauce. If AMD can get 20% performance from optimizing their GPU cores, 20% from the 5nm shrink and 75% from moving to chiplets (plus IO die) and flat out doubling cores, all while reducing production costs because of less defects (smaller die = less chance of a manufacturing error), they may have a winner.
And that is probably where the 2.5 times performance comes from. 1.2 * 1.2 * 1.75 = 2.52.
performance per dollar is getting worse by the day as prices go to the moon, no way do I believe they are going to release a next gen with 3x performance over current gen at similar price points to current gen. Sure we might see something 3x as powerful as a 6900xt but it will cost 3x as much too, so not really what most people have in mind when they hear the next gen is bringing huge performance increases.

That's really only true in the midrange cards. The 3080 FE @ MSRP is an insane value in terms of performance per dollar vs the previous generation. The partner cards were a much better value before the tariffs hit the prices.

Well anyway however great it might be, its all up to the consoles that detirmine the future 5-8 yrs of games and how they roll, which both PS5 and new Xbone both use AMD tech, so im assuming the majority of games coming out in the future will not have any RT or very little of. Maybe some PC titles will, but whatevs.
Oh shit

Even the 3070 is like as powerful as last gens 2080ti for less than 1/2 price. Probabaly more like 1/3. Only talking MSRP though, you add the shortage plus bots times dunchebaggery you get about the same price, lol.
