Indeed, I have money slowly amounting for a 6900XT but by the time stock is available the next series will be out.

Sadly the global silicon shortage makes any GPU difficult to get. That said, they reckon the shortage will end in 6months. Not sure where i read it, or what its based on, but i hope its true.

Crytek have released a new patch for Crysis Remastered with an interesting "Ray Tracing Boost Mode"

General
Experimental RayTracing Boost mode has been added.

  • RT reflections have been enabled on nearly all surfaces in game.
  • Ray randomization has enabled for proper support of rough surfaces.
  • About 5% of specular reflectance has been added by default to all surfaces.
Developer Note:
During the development of Crysis Remastered, the team came up with the concept of adding a boost to RayTracing. This boost mode is more of a fun/experimental feature that we wanted to bring to all the RayTracing enthusiasts out there, to give more effects with minimal impact on performance. This option has been added to the in-game Graphic settings menu and can only be activated when Global Raytracing option is enabled.
