The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT witnesses Team Red’s return to the best graphics cards out there. For years, AMD had focused mostly on the budget to mid-range part of the graphics card market. And, though AMD faces some very stiff competition from the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080, it now has a viable alternative on its hands to Nvidia’s heavy hitter.
Compared to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080’s $699 (£649, about AU$960) price tag, the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT has a slightly more attractive price tag of $649 (likely to be £649, AU$960). As similarly priced products, the two GPUs are evenly matched, with each performing better in some games while doing worse in others. Choosing the best graphics card for 4K gaming hasn’t been this hard since 4K gaming first came onto the scene.
As the next step in AMD Radeon’s return to glory, the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT provides a look at what we can expect over the next couple generations of GPUs. Features like ray tracing will become even more widely accepted, as games like Cyberpunk 2077 adopt it to take the look of their games to the next level.
