based on all reviews

the RX 6800 is still very good
Radeon RX 6800 provides an excellent level of performance
RX 6800 performs admirably in all tests save Port Royal

The way AMD specs out frequency on its graphics cards is a tad confusing
lack of features
especially those around upscaling

AMD Radeon RX 6800 - Pros & Cons

the RX 6800 is still very good
Radeon RX 6800 provides an excellent level of performance
RX 6800 performs admirably in all tests save Port Royal
Connectivity options are also on par with the competition
also clear their respective Game Clocks and Boost Clocks
helps optimize memory access latency and improve the effective bandwidth
in-depth reviews and helpful tips
it delivers incredible value versus the competition
RX 6800 sits perfectly stable above 100 frames per second
RX 6800 s performance was impressive
The two cards are performance-wise
virtually identical
big improvements in load times and smoother performance
RX 6800 is a lot more attractive
definitely a note-worthy upgrade

The way AMD specs out frequency on its graphics cards is a tad confusing
lack of features
especially those around upscaling
difference widens significantly in DirectX 11 games
it's a bit of a pain to enable
missed the most
OC headroom is very limited
margins start to open up a bit
Nvidia still have the edge when it comes to ray tracing
its ray tracing capabilities continue to be rather lacklustre
too different from its Nvidia rival
GPU stock shortage situation dies down a little
ray tracing speeds saw that number get chopped in half
lags behind the RTX 3070 in some key areas
Benchmark numbers will be mostly the same across models
no USB-C on this third-party card
lacking the ability to deliver an excellent gaming experience
not a clean sweep - AMD comes out on top in Borderlands 3
transient power spikes that can go a bit higher as well
4MB L2 cache and a whopping 128MB L3 cache
older GPUs are included mostly as a point of reference
The quality is obviously suffering
GPUs and CPUs
of a lopsided demand for either memory bandwidth or GPU speed and capability
only marginally more slight in standing
Deep Learning Super Sampling feature renders games at a lower resolution
game defaults to DX12
Radeon takes the edge more often than not
6800 XT was pumping out several hundred frames per second
up disappointingly late and disappointingly underpowered
some of those frame rates seem a bit too low to play
Feel terrible for players who lived in those worlds
it s not likely to solve the problems with Windows on Arm
Alameda took huge losses when Luna went down
and sloppy accounting
the best gear is very hard to find
The more expensive card is slower than the less expensive option
This site uses Akismet to reduce spam
no one watching AMD
does not support RDNA GPUs
high-bandwidth chunk of cache
minor stutters were rather minimal
the RX 6800 is often slightly ahead again
it s not included in any of these charts
s lack of RTX capabilities does put it at a disadvantage
significantly higher memory bandwidth than AMD s cards
annoying single-fan blowers
AMD lags behind when it comes to ray tracing
noisy cards
ridiculously overpriced card
four games is a little too less to get the full picture
but a teensy bit higher than the direct forex conversion
6800's performance leaves a lot to be desired
service does not include all providers or all products available in the market
Wallet Pty Ltd is not a bank and does not offer banking services
RTX 3070 only needs a single 8-pin power connector
a supersized cache would cost a significant amount of die area
high-performance graphics card market
magnetic lid in favor of a basic hard paper sleeve
MSRP is pretty irrelevant at this point
Sony TV Wi-Fi No Internet Access Issue
only paints one side of the picture

The Radeon RX 6800 is the world's most power-efficient graphics card, better than anything NVIDIA Ampere has to offer. The smaller brother to the RX 6800 XT comes with a smaller heatsink, at more affordable pricing, but retains the lavish 16 GB VRAM memory buffer.

While AMD's Radeon RX 6800 posts some impressive results in certain benchmarks, its uneven performance in others makes it a difficult Day One graphics-card recommendation versus Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3070.
