16 GB version is now available at retail here in Denmark. $348 USD for the XFX 16 GB OC edition.
Making it probably the best value per fps card on th market now.

PS:
Be careful not to get the 8GB card by mistake. It’s not always marked very clearly by retailers.
Allegedly the 16 GB is way better already for current games.

I’m gonna guess that means despite two generations the 6900XT is still faster than the new mids at the same vram of 16GB

That is actually somewhat usual, isn’t it? Just compared previous gens high end with entry to mid on nvidia like 1080 vs 3060 and 2080 vs 4060. They paint the same picture.

We are far away from the times where every single generation, marks a significant performance increase. For CPU or GPU performance.

I disagree on the CPU front, halving my CPU cores from AMD 5000 to 9000 series resulted in only gains or equivalence

Can you specify which CPUs you are talking about? Also we are not talking about cores. “Halving cores” means basically nothing when you compare across different architectures.
