AMD Navi 21 XT Seemingly Confirmed to Run at ~2.3, 2.4 GHz Clock, 250 W+

Yes, I have nothing to complain about image quality (AMD/ATi usually are better on that).
I found the most stable drivers for me to be 20.4.2 (IIRC).
The black screen/freeze bug is very subtle: I can play the same game for weeks (literally) without any issue and then ... bang ! Three crashes in a row on the same day !
It is driving me crazy ...

The situation was terrible in december/march, when the freezes were quite frequent, but now it is much better (it happens mostly in Warzone, but not very often).
I'm afraid to upgrade to the latest 20.9.2: I read about big performance improvements but also about some crashes.

Thanks the 20.2.2 driver still gives me the best results so far therefore this is my final driver before purchacing the new Navi 6800XT or 6900XT.
Hope the new hardware just works like the RX580 and has no driver bugs please!

I predict that "Big Navi" is going to be a 20-30% smaller die than GA102 if these power and performance figures are accurate. I guess we'll only have to wait a little more than a week to find out.

RX 6800XT has better performance than the RTX 3080FE. Have a look at Igor's Lab he's usually well informed .

As always, you have to be careful with such benchmarks, even if the material I received yesterday seems quite plausible. Two sources, very different approaches or settings and yet in the end a certain…

Is AMD sacrifice quality of colors/contrast or something other in rdna2 to get a little more fps? And remove some options in settings (AMD fluid motion)?

Or it is just rumors?

No such evidence yet

Are you from land down under? Because it is the other way around...
