GPU World Record Set by Der8auer on PowerColor RX 6900 XT Liquid Devil Ultimate - 3.225 GHz
Overclocker extraordinnaire Roman "der8auer" Hartung has achieved a new world record for GPU clockspeed with the help of exotic cooling and PowerColor's RX 6900 XT Liquid Devil Ultimate. The PowerColor Red Devil Ultimate features the latest and greatest bin of any RX 6900 XT chip, featuring AMD's Navi 21 XTXH silicon (device ID 0x73AF), with improved clockspeed potential and lower leakage than the usual XT cadre of chips. Using LN2 cooling which dropped the operating temperatures of the card down to a finger-killing -87 °C, the overclocker managed to reach a 3,225 MHz clock - as reported by our very own GPU-Z, which continues to be the diagnostics tool of choice for graphics cards. Look after the break for the full video leading up to this overclocking feat.

Others teach.
There is no sane dev going to invest big into it, and if they don't, all RT will do is impact FPS for a minimal change, which is an impossible sell. Its becoming very easy to just develop on tried and tested technology with the added knowledge that your entire target audience can use it. On consoles, there simply isn't enough power to do anything much more than a few god rays.
When Huang said 10 Gigarays I knew this and I've only seen more confirmation of it daily ever since. Too early, too little, and economically it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Its a very simple thing of commerce, create demand where there is none, and you have yourself a market to dominate. Even if its not really a market - if people believe in it, they make it one. Nvidias timing gave that strategy away. If it was an industry effort, a big push to RT as it should be for something so substantial, then the timing would have been different and the whole affair much more directed and convincing. badum tss
Raster based shadows look good enough and run on a potato. I'll just stick with my vega 64 for another generation and wait for prices to come back to earth. AMD does what Nvidon't
FTFY.
Remember how they said pre-RDNA that they would only deliver it if they could touch the midrange convincingly with it.
Take note of how Nvidia is already heavily marketing DLSS 2.0 over RTX ON. They have to keep those extra cores at work and its likely AMD turns to a similar ball game, with an overall more versatile architecture/die. Take note of how the consoles have not implemented heavy marketing of RT content.
Insurance policies.
ANYWAY... 3225 Mhz. My apologies for OT
They show they have some of these exact GPUs for sale....only cost you $2500!
Get one and some LN and you're all set.
