How does it compare to a 3080ti?

Not much in it but the 6950XT does "beat it".
Definitely check the fan curves my GPU fans out the box were set to go 100% at 90c.
I will say it was nice and quiet then vs the noise machine it is now but I don't really hear it once I have my headset on.
Going to build one, decided now.

How important is ray tracing to you? The 6950XT is great, but not so good for ray traced visuals.
All I care about is warzone 😂

For the minority that fancy themselves as some kinda hot-shot gamer, I agree. Other than that, ray tracing is where it's at and where it's ultimately going. Just need the hardware and performance to ramp up a few levels!
I mean I'm not really that fussed about ray tracing itself but generally I'd prefer higher image quality. Is anyone really going to see the difference between 120 or 130fps but you might notice better quality image or ray tracing etc.
Got to say I jumped on Horizon 5 the other day and was amazed at how good it looked even compared to the XSX on my LG C1.

Image quality will improve over time as GPUs become more capable due to increased processing performance. The increased performance will mean that more aspects of ray tracing can be realised and used as opposed to just reflections, shadows and limited global illumination (as we currently have). Both nVidia and AMD are committed to it but it will take a little bit of time to get there. It will also make game development (at least on the graphics side) a bit easier as we can do away with a lot of the hacks, smoke and mirrors that current rasterised games use.

I would expect so, yes. My point is that ray tracing is the natural evolution of where GPUs are going. It won't be a discussion point in time as all GPUs will support it out-of-the-box and we'll see the benefits it can bring. Just a little while until we get there, though. It's also a bit of a paradigm shift in how GPUs are built and operate.
I completely agree in the long term. In some games that are slow paced where you can get away with lower frame rates it's looking great already. DLSS and FSR help but even the 3090 isn't man enough really at the moment.
For current gen cards FPS/£ is still king and at the moment the 6950XT is really where it's at.

Do you have 4x8gb now? I was considering it for a while although I feel the extra ram could be wasted on me but wasn't sure if it was best to just swap out the 2x8gb I have and get 2x16gb.

That's what I did. Still extra space then... 😆

Yes I have 4x8. Mainly for more rgb tbh

Reached a bit of a Steam achievement benchmark this week.... 
Decided 12700k and a 3080ti as a minim.
GDR5 ram will be a must also.
Any ideas on motherboard, cooling, case and power?

No one know of any good model/brands from above? Buying parts over next few days.
Err, my last two motherboards have been MSI ones, been fine. Cooling, Fractal fans are the tits but I have a Corsair all in one cooler for the CPU. Case, I can’t remember what ones but I know Gamer’s Nexus has approved of a few lately, and power supply, probably Corsair again tbh
Sure, for the 12700k go with Intel
Thanks bud. I’ll run that by your misses later.

So, I've been my mates all weekend for a mini LAN and took my PC with me. Just got home and set it back up again and it wouldn't boot, just kept turning itself off after like 8-10 seconds. I tried it about 10 times and was like, wtf. Anyway, the issue was during transport the power cable to the CPU cooler came unplugged and therefore the CPU was overheating and turning itself off. Reckon i've done any damage to the CPU by trying to turn it back on so often? Or do you reckon the auto shutdown has totally prevented any damage?

It's probably fine if it's been shutting itself down, is it showing any error codes on the motherboard when you try to boot up?
Nah mate, all good now. Just played a game of Dota and Valorant and all seams well. Like you said, it's probably prevented any issues but I did try a good 10 times
