Yeah yeah, nothing can beat Nvidia, this hype train will crash as usu…

…

Wait… Same performance as 3080, it’s available in droves, AND it’s $50 bucks cheaper?

AND their 6900 XT beats the $1500 model at a much lower cost?

… Maybe I should upgrade this year after all… :thinking:

Its looking promising :star_struck:

I’m exited for the reviews

Let’s be conservative and say it doesn’t beat it, but damn, same performance for about 1/3 less…

Can’t wait to see 6500 and 6600… Sad, but that’s my price bracket…

If this has no major linux bugs, it’s a slam dunk

I am cautiously optimistic.

If AMDs numbers are true and the 6800 XT is similar in performance to the RTX 3080 for $50 less that would be great for many people. Aside from CUDA processes the 6800 XT would be a no brainer in that case.

But I also want to know how well the 6800 (non-XT) overclocks, because if that can get close in core clock to the 6800 XT that could make for a card that is nearly RTX 3080 levels of performance for $130 less.

Chungus navi looking good so far

It’ll probably be crappy for a few months if the past is to be repeated :slightly_frowning_face:

Oh, if this have no Windows bugs and at least decent functional drivers…
I know people here love Linux but Linux itself is not a big market…

:crossed_fingers:

No major Linux bugs. No major Linux bugs. No major Linux bugs.

I think silence and heat might also be a concern…

And support resets for VM pass through users…

Maybe, but since it’s only drawing 300W, probably not as much as you might think. Looking forward to the AIB versions and hoping for an ITX 6800 XT finally.

Linux Support Expectations For The AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series

Written by Michael Larabel in [Graphics Cards](https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=category&item=Graphics Cards) on 28 October 2020. Page 1 of 1 . 6 Comments

Lisa Su is about to begin the presentation unveiling the much anticipated Radeon RX 6000 “Big Navi” (RDNA 2) graphics cards. This article will be updated live as the event progresses but first up let’s recap the current Linux open-source driver state for these forthcoming graphics cards.

Under the codename Sienna Cichlid, the Linux support for the next-generation Navi graphics cards have been underway going back to the middle of the year. There is initial support for the next-gen hardware within the recent released Linux 5.9 kernel and Mesa 20.2. This still puts it just out-of-reach for seeing out-of-the-box support in the likes of Ubuntu 20.10 given the 5.8 kernel so the user must manually move to the newer kernel. At least with the likes of Fedora Workstation 33 there will be Linux 5.9 as a stable release update. Also important to the driver equation is needing to be using LLVM 11.0+ for the GFX10.3 back-end target and also ensuring to have the latest linux-firmware for the binary microcode files needed for GPU initialization.
