Radeon RX 7900 series, (opens in new tab) AMD’s Radeon RX 6800 already on sale (opens in new tab) Continues to be one of the best graphics cards (opens in new tab) in the retail market. AMD Gaming Senior Director of Marketing Sasa Marinkovic wants to make sure consumers don’t forget that. share the chart (opens in new tab) Demonstrate Radeon RX 6800 superiority over GeForce RTX 3070 (opens in new tab).
Both the Radeon RX 6800 and GeForce RTX 3070 are last generation products dating back to late 2020. At the time, because of his MSRP, the two cards belonged to different tiers, so it didn’t make much sense to compare the two cards. The Radeon RX 6800 hit the market with an MSRP of $579 while the GeForce RTX 3070 launched with an MSRP of $499. Of course, neither graphics card sells at their respective MSRPs between 2020 and 2022.

(opens in new tab) Arrive by the end of the month.
A better comparison would be between the upcoming Radeon RX 7700 (XT) and the GeForce RTX 4060 Ti, or a GPU that AMD hopes to ship at a price on par with the RTX 4070. But for now, let’s proceed with the AMD comparison.
The charts claim that the Radeon RX 6800 will offer faster ray tracing (RT) and rasterization performance, but Marinkovic later clarified this to be false. The performance numbers above apply only to rasterization performance. husband.
In Marinkovic’s 32-game comparison, the Radeon RX 6800 was 13.4% faster than the GeForce RTX 3070 on average. The performance difference varies between -2% and +31%. GeForce RTX 3070 beats Radeon RX 6800 Metro Exodus, grand theft auto vand Dota 2, Although the performance difference was basically a draw. The tweeted image also highlights that the Radeon RX 6800 offers twice as much onboard memory as his GeForce RTX 3070. This is a selling point that AMD is very vocal about. (opens in new tab).
AMD has tested two graphics cards at native 1440p (2560×1440) resolution. However, the chip maker did not disclose the graphics settings used for testing. This is important data. Nevertheless, AMD’s claims are generally in line with our own results, so it doesn’t look like crazy business being done.
Test suite across 9 games (data from updated GPU benchmark hierarchy) (opens in new tab), using 13900K), the Radeon RX 6800 delivered 14.3% better rasterization performance than the GeForce RTX 3070 at 1440p on Ultra settings. However, when it comes to ray tracing performance, the GeForce RTX 3070 is better. That’s probably why AMD omitted that comparison. Across six demanding ray-traced games, the GeForce RTX 3070 delivered 17.2% and 14.9% higher ray tracing performance in our 1080p and 1440p tests, respectively.
Neither AMD’s numbers nor AMD’s own test results include upscaling technologies such as DLSS. (opens in new tab) and FSR2 (opens in new tab), which can further muddy the water.Perhaps more importantly, AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su said a week earlier that his Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards in AMD’s mainstream (opens in new tab) Start before July.She didn’t explicitly state which lineup, so by then she has no guarantees we’ll see an RX 7800 or 7700, but the Radeon RX 7600 is (opens in new tab) It is scheduled to arrive within the next month.
If you’re primarily concerned with rasterization performance, yes the Radeon RX 6800 can beat the RTX 3070. The RTX 4070 can also outperform the 3070 by about 30% in rasterization performance. So it can also outperform the RX 6800 by about 13. %. Considering ray tracing and DLSS, the gap only widens. But the truth is, with replacements on the horizon, no one is going to buy a last-gen graphics card for $480.
