Gears 5
A game where we always mentally add “of War” to the title, the most recent addition to the Gears franchise saw The Coalition stick rigidly to the formula that has made this title a success on the Xbox. It’s more of a ‘best of’ than a new title, but still brings all the graphical glory to your screen as befits a game aimed at the console market. With everything turned up to ten the graphics can bring even beefy systems to their knees. The second graph is cranked up to 8K just to see how far we can push things.

Other people have said in their review that they think something is wrong on the driver and/or firmware side, A card with a fair chunk more under the hood should perform better, Not match a lower tier card or just slightly edge it out in certain titles, Unless RDNA2 really doesn't scale well like AMD said in the past and there are diminishing returns beyond a certain CU count.Quote
Great review Tom !

There's diminishing returns for overclocks as well. Hitting 2.8Ghz is nice, but it only introduces a little extra performance.

Overclocking works well providing you keep the thing cool, failing that it is a case of diminishing returns because of throttling.Quote
When the Asus Strix 6900 XT LC turns up it will be a beast because of the AIO unit it comes with.

Lets just hope the pump on it doent make a horrible whining noise like all the EVGA AIO cards..Quote
They look like pro cards, no bells, whistles or blinky LEDs. Its been a while since I really liked an AMD reference card design.Quote
