AMD announces Radeon RX 6800XT & RX 6900XT, first gaming benchmarks

Agreed, everyone expected them to get clobbered or at best match a 2080 ti, and they have flatout won in rasterization against the entire RTX 3000 series, and priced competitively (although not as competitive as I wished they’d have been to really win over a large portion of marketshare).

NVIDIA still has great performance, solid prices, the inevitable RTX 3070ti and 3080ti which will give them more cards to directly compete with the 6800 and 6800XT, but they also have DLSS which AMD hasn’t addressed, and better Ray-Tracing (basically Ampere vs Turing-level Raytracing based on leaks).

Regardless this is the best AMD has competed with NVIDIA in a LONG time day and date, and I’m happy for them. This was a company that was literally a year away from bankruptcy and potentially going out of business, to destroying their main CPU competition in Intel (who needs to get off of 14nm ASAP), to also rivaling their biggest GPU competitor.

Praise to Ms./Mrs. Su and her team.
