Ryzen 5600X with AMD RX 6800 vs 6800XT vs 6900XT
14The RX 6800 is based on the silicon the PC enthusiast community for long fabled as "Big Navi," and as AMD's long overdue response to NVIDIA's high-end as it was first to the market with 7 nm GPUs and used the new node to great effect in bringing down Intel's near-monopoly. NVIDIA's decision to introduce real-time raytracing to the PC gaming segment with the GeForce RTX 20-series "Turing" caught AMD by surprise as it sat down to design RDNA2. By this point, the RX 5700 series "Navi" was taped out, and when it released in mid-2019, it did enough to disrupt NVIDIA's performance segment under $500, but couldn't take on the high-end. We watched AMD's late-October 2020 announcement stream with moderate expectations for RDNA2, but were shocked with what ensued as AMD claimed the RDNA2-powered RX 6800 series to compete against NVIDIA's recently launched RTX 3080 and RTX 2080 Ti (RTX 3070), and with full DirectX 12 Ultimate readiness, which means support for raytracing.
RX 6800 XT ($649) finds itself in the unenviable position of diving into shark-infested waters. With its sights set squarely on Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3080 Founders Edition, AMD has set the goal for itself of remaining competitive with all takers; Intel on the CPU side, and Nvidia on GPUs. While AMD's CPU division has pummeled Intel over the past year and a half, its graphics card arm still finds itself on defense versus Nvidia. And that narrative doesn't change much with the Radeon RX 6800 XT (dubbed during its development "Big Navi"). At times, it's the fastest GPU we've tested to date in its price range. At others, it returns inconsistent results across some modern AAA titles, legacy AAA games, and synthetic benchmarks.
AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT. A high-end enthusiast graphics card that existed solely in the hopes and dreams of enthusiasts for over a year—and in the Radeon Technology Group labs for surely much longer—the RX 6900 XT is the ultimate expression of the RDNA 2 architecture.
A known quantity since October, the RX 6900 XT will be a familiar sight for anyone that read our RX 6800 XT review. It features the same triple-fan cooler design, memory configuration, and even TGP and clock speeds as the RX 6800 XT. Hence why plenty of what I spoke about back in November regarding the impressive updates to the RDNA 2 architecture is still valid in regards to the more expensive $999 card.
