Which Launch Was Worse: Radeon 6800XT or RTX 3080? - Probing Paul #55 In the latest episode of "Probing Paul," YouTuber Paul discusses a hot topic among PC gamers: comparing the launches of AMD's Radeon 6800XT and NVIDIA's RTX 3080. This debate centers on the user experiences, supply issues, and hype surrounding both graphics cards.

Key Highlights:​

• Launch Experiences: Paul categorized the launches as disappointing primarily due to the inadequate supplies of both graphics cards. Despite the strong anticipation and performance reviews, gamers found themselves frustrated as both products sold out almost instantly.
• NVIDIA vs. AMD: NVIDIA's launch was heavily marketed, creating significant hype but leading to disappointment when potential buyers were unable to obtain the GPUs. Many consumers felt misled by the vigorous promotional campaign, which did not appropriately prepare them for the stock shortages. Conversely, while AMD also faced supply issues, there was a greater acceptance from potential buyers about possible challenges following the lessons learned from the NVIDIA launch.
• Comparative Analysis: The overall sentiment indicated that while both launches faced criticism, NVIDIA's marketing strategy might have led to a heightened sense of betrayal among buyers. Paul's conclusion leaned towards NVIDIA's launch being marginally worse, primarily due to the stark contrast between expectations and reality.
