AMD's Big Navi Benchmarks: 4K and 1440p Numbers for Radeon RX 6800, 6800 XT, 6900 XT
The chipmaker conducted the tests on a Ryzen 9 5900X processor with 16GB of DDR4-3200 RAM on a X570 reference platform.
It should be noted that AMD enabled Smart Access Memory, a feature that unlocks higher performance on the Radeon RX 6000 when the graphics card is paired with a compatible Ryzen 5000 processor.
AMD should get props for making efforts to create synergy between its processors and best graphics cards.
At 4K, the Radeon RX 6900 XT and the GeForce RTX 3090 ended up in a tie with each graphics card pulling in five wins.
The Radeon RX 6800 XT had a much better showing by outpacing the GeForce RTX 3080 in six titles, while tying the Ampere-based graphics card in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. The Radeon RX 6800 XT isn't just faster than the GeForce RTX 3080, but at $649, it's almost $50 cheaper than its Nvidia rival.
More AMD published data. Cut and pasted because they note this is what you get if you are using a new Ryzen 5000 series CPU. We'll see what independent tests say.
Interestingly, depending on what R5000 CPU one buys, the cost of the AMD CPU plus AMD R6900XT can be about the same or even less than the Nvidia RTX3090 alone.
