AMD Radeon "Big Navi" GPU Benchmarked in Firestrike Ultra
AMD's "Big Navi" GPU is nearing the launch on October 28th, just a few days from now. This means that benchmarks of the card are already appearing across the internet, and we get to see how the card performs. Being divided into two different versions, Big Navi comes in Navi 21 XT and Navi 21 XTX silicon. While the former is available to AMD's AIBs, the latter is rumored to be exclusive to AMD and its reference design, meaning that at least in the beginning, you can only get Navi 21 XTX GPU if you purchase one from AMD directly.
Today, thanks to the Twitter account of CapFrameX, a frame time capturing tool, we have benchmark results of the Big Navi GPU in Firestrike Ultra. According to the people behind this account, the card scores about 11500 points in the benchmark. Compared to NVIDIA's offerings like GeForce RTX 3080, which scores about 10600, the AMD card is 8.5% faster. It is not known whatever this is Navi 21 XT or Navi 21 XTX silicon, however, we can assume that it is the former, and AMD is keeping the XTX revision to themselves for now. This result could be a leak from some of the AIBs, so it could not be the final Big Navi performance. All of this information should be taken with a grain of salt.

Edit:. My bad. Diff GPU.
Please man. There are not and my comment stands. Its the internet, if you have to search for it, you will find it, but that goes for everything you could possibly want. I could ask for Cyberpunk 2078 and find it probably. With release 'estimations'...Really? Leak? God almighty.
Are y'all that stupid or am I this smart? Surely its not the latter...
What is is and what will be will be.

If I can get 2080ti perf for $499 or less I don't care from which camp it comes from.
I watched a bunch of these MSI Gaming 1080 ti's sell on Ebay and they all sold for around $650-$700 AUS dollars, so I was very happy to get it for $450. Hell people are still selling 1070 TI's for $450 here in AUS
Also, performance almost never raises up over the years as drivers mature, w1zzard has done testing on that in the past - googling i cant seem to find the article, but i know its here somewhere on TPU.
RTX is an Nvidia exclusive, while RT is generic. RT is about to explode due to the new consoles using AMD hardware, which will cause RTX to become somewhat less relevant.
It'll be interesting in a way because
1. Both major consoles have AMD RDNA2 GPU's, so logically you can assume all console ports will support RT
2. Nvidia have the greater market share for GPU's, so you can assume PC exclusives will be targeted for DLSS/RTX.
Me personally? I dont want RT or RTX, but i see some appeal to DLSS and high refresh displays... as long as it works in all games, and not exclusive to certain titles.
Actual RT is done via MS DXR. Same with AMD's implementation. Now you have both AMD and NV with the former in both the PC and console space. Adding to this, at least some new RDNA2 GPUs have RT hardware. If anything these things make RT gain momentum and the whole RT concept more relevant.
