The 1440p numbers are a little high in AMD’s charts, though 4K performance is around what we’d expect. In Battlefield V, the card reached 97 fps at 4K with Ultra settings and 147 fps at 1440p. Image used with permission by copyright holderīased on our testing of the RTX 3080, we know AMD’s competing numbers are at least close. It is fair to say that Nvidia has retained the performance crown but very few of us will be able to detect those differences in frame rates by eye, so the fairest summary is that AMD RX 6800 XT and Nvidia RTX 3080 are competing on level terms. In Borderlands 3 the tables are turned with AMD beating Nvidia by the same margins. If you look at benchmarks in a game such as The Division 2 you will see at 1080p Nvidia has an advantage of 5 fps that stretches to 10 fps at 1440p and 4K. Its new Infinity Cache accelerates memory bandwidth by a huge margin, delivering a potential memory bandwidth over twice that of the RTX 3080 in some scenarios.ĪMD promised us their RX 6800 XT would match the RTX 3080 at 4K in a number of games and now the reviews are in we can see that AMD’s latest card is within a few frames per second of the RTX 3080. The 6800 XT has 16GB to the 3080’s 10GB, though Nvidia’s card uses newer, faster GDDR6X memory and has a wider memory bus, which gives the RTX 3080 a greater standard memory bandwidth.ĪMD has a trick up its sleeve, though. We can see some stark differences between the 6800 XT and RTX 3080 in terms of memory. That said, there are some aspects that are more comparable. It’s hard to directly compare AMD and Nvidia GPUs purely based on specs, and that’s not changing with AMD’s new RX 6000 cards. Specs and performance Image used with permission by copyright holder The RX 6800 XT is already cheaper than RTX 3080 but the big news is that AMD’s performance claims have been verified and the RX 6800 XT matches the performance of the RTX 3080 in most games. Especially moving into the holiday season, AMD could steal back some significant market share from Nvidia if it can keep cards on shelves. Historically, TSMC - the foundry behind the 7nm node in the RX 6800 XT - has been able to meet demand with high-volume manufacturing. We feel optimistic AMD will overcome its supply problems in a reasonable timeframe and predict you are more likely to find stocks of AMD RX 6800 XT than Nvidia RTX 3080 by early 2021. AMD’s RX 6800 XT has only just gone on sale and as we would expect it has immediately sold out, however we have heard reports that AMD has increased production of its Big Navi graphics chips at TSMC. The RTX 3080 is sold out everywhere right now, and it’ll likely stay that way well into 2021. Nvidia has struggled to get a handle on its 30-series launch, following reports of poor yields of the Samsung 8nm node powering Nvidia’s new cards. At only $70 less than the RTX 3080, the 6800 XT probably won’t win over many users purely based on price, though it’s at least staying competitive, especially compared to 3080 board partner cards.Īt the end of October 2020, however, the RTX 3080 isn’t in stock anywhere. Pricing and availability Image used with permission by copyright holderĪMD’s new RX 68 XT launched on November 18 for $579 and $649, respectively.
