Agreed with that but the detail is they specifically stated they want 165 Hz ultra quality, and barely the 6900 XT is going to do that unless you're going to play CS:GO all day.
If you're passionate then you're going to look it up and find that BAR is just a way to map memory and that an optimized graphics driver shouldn't require it to provide stable performance. 20% averages is something that should not be ever happening. Fortunately we are on a reputable tech forum where members look beyond brand (or should), and W1zzard has written a review:
AMD's Smart Access Memory feature is highly interesting. It promises a performance boost when the new Radeon RX 6800 Series cards are paired with an AMD Ryzen Zen 3 processor. We extensively test this in a whole article with 22 games at three resolutions, at up to 4K Ultra HD.

It's never 20%.
We are in 2023 not 2020, we have an ever growing catalogue of games, the review is objective but subject to the time it was done.
The video I linked was just a response to you thinking SAM does basically nothing... you missed the boat...
I already know what it does, that's not the argument and you know it is not too.
Also the 6900 XT was delivering 100 FPS or more in every game I played almost at 1440P with my system and just a 5800X non 3D, only Hogwarts Legacy on ultra at 1440P was doing 80-90 FPS no RT.
Last game I played on 6900 XT held 165hz no matter what but this is on the 3D cache version.
Though to be fair this is at 120hz this is due to me not wanting the 6900 XT maxed out, the whole reason I replaced the card was due to how loud it was.
