AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT - Pros & Cons

Feels good to see them fighting back hard
helps optimize memory access latency and improve the effective bandwidth
in-depth reviews and helpful tips
also clear their respective Game Clocks and Boost Clocks
faster and more efficiently
excellent pricing for Spain
very
very good
it delivers incredible value versus the competition
AMD has managed to narrow this gap is impressive
it does so comfortably
solid performance at a compelling price
The reference design cards are slick and unobtrusive
Radeon Software utility now supports automatic as well as fully manual overclocking
lower performance in both titles is easy enough to overlook
RX 6800 performs admirably in all tests save Port Royal
Temperatures remained relatively cool as well
quieter and more efficient at dissipating heat
The detailed benchmark tool is a nice test
these days that support and features are very comprehensive

noisy cards
4MB L2 cache and a whopping 128MB L3 cache
older GPUs are included mostly as a point of reference
transient power spikes that can go a bit higher as well
not a clean sweep - AMD comes out on top in Borderlands 3
The quality is obviously suffering
significantly higher memory bandwidth than AMD s cards
annoying single-fan blowers
AMD lags behind when it comes to ray tracing
high-bandwidth chunk of cache
high-performance graphics card market
a supersized cache would cost a significant amount of die area
neither changed average power or temperature results
Ray Accelerator for either benchmark
The Infinity Cache is still a sizeable chunk of the Navi 21 die
PC system requirements are here
it s not likely to solve the problems with Windows on Arm
s no fancy cooling or a clunky power adaptor
Alameda took huge losses when Luna went down
and sloppy accounting
AMD s card draws up to 300 watts
Feel terrible for players who lived in those worlds
horrid availability for this initial wave of reference models
improve performance in all games and margins will vary from title to tile
performance hit is massive
resizable bar feature is not unique to AMD
just a graphical anomaly to shrug off
problems with inconsistent frame rates
The card slipped slightly in the 1080p Extreme run of Superposition
it returns inconsistent results across some modern AAA titles
Ray tracing performance is a little disappointing
6800's ray tracing performance is sort of lacklustre
Smart Access does not offer a boost in Metro Exodus
None of the black screen present with Nvidia s RTX 3080 and RTX 3070 cards
Deep Learning Super Sampling feature renders games at a lower resolution
up disappointingly late and disappointingly underpowered
Radeon takes the edge more often than not
6800 XT was pumping out several hundred frames per second
game defaults to DX12
NVIDIA 3000 series cards
NVIDIA kicks ass here
Metro Exodus in 4K sees NVIDIA pulling more away from AMD
hardest graphics cards to find right now
Nvidia is simply way ahead of AMD
Intel Unveils Xeon CPU Max And Data
bumped up the expected base and boost clocks
DLSS games actually available right now is still quite small overall
missing DLSS competitor
card feeling a little underwhelming
the performance gap is a lot narrower at 2560x1440
6800 have two 8-pin connectors facing upwards at the rear
no way to raise the frame rate
triple-monitor setup
have infinitely stretchable budgets
availability in India has been rather constrained
service does not include all providers or all products available in the market
clock speeds can be misleading
only fell short by a few frames per second
RTX 3080 comparison is a little more complicated
the list of supported games is pretty short
an AMD parallel right now
able to challenge Nvidia at the high-end
Ray tracing performance lags behind
There isn t really a science here
AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT video card
it s simply software locked
RX 6800 XT is limited at the moment in what software programs support overclocking
MSI Afterburner will not work
lacking the ability to deliver an excellent gaming experience
no USB-C on this third-party card
Benchmark numbers will be mostly the same across models
lags behind the RTX 3070 in some key areas

AMD's Radeon RX 6800 XT impresses in spots with record-breaking results in specific benchmarks, but inconsistent frame rates on several games, and driver-stability issues, keep it from toppling the best of Nvidia's GeForce RTX.
