With the RX 6000 graphic card lineup, AMD has officially closed the gap between it and xnxubd 2020 Nvidia, the world’s top card maker. So with a new option available, the question now is which one you should choose, AMD RX 6000 or Nvidia RTX 3000 Series.
RX 6000 vs. RTX 3000 Series: Performance
Before we talk about the benchmark scores of the two cards, it’s worth pointing out that the AMD card used a bench test that used a Ryzen 9 5900X. It features the Smart Access Memory of AMD that allows the CPU access to the VRAM for an increase of 11% in maximum performance. Xnxubd 2020 Nvidia doesn’t have support for this feature.
When it comes to 4K gaming with a test involving 10 games, Radeon RX 6900XT finished ahead of GeForce RTX 3090 while RTX 3080 lost to RX 6800XT. RX 6800 beat 2019’s RTX 2080Ti by a large margin.
4K gaming requires a lot from VRAM, so titles like The Division 2 and Wolfenstein Youngblood will see a great performance boost with GDDR6x VRAM of xnxubd 2020 Nvidia.
With the other games that are less VRAM-intensive, Nvidia’s advantage is gone and it lost to AMD cards with the RTX 3090 finished behind the RX 6800XT.
With WQHD gaming with another set of ten games, RX 6800XT and RX 6900XT showed a better performance than the Nvidia cards, while RX 6800 finished pretty close to the RTX 3080.
Xnxubd 2020 Nvidia with its faster VRAM held no advantage in WQHD gaming as it doesn’t require much VRAM. This explains why the two AMD cards could beat or show equal performance to the xnxubd RTX 3090.
Please bear in mind that these results aren’t final since we used an Intel platform that gives xnxubn 2020 Nvidia new cards a clear advantage.
With WQHD gaming, the RX 6000 series is the clear champion as it offers better value for money. By pairing the Ryzen 5000 series chipset with a motherboard of the 500 series, you are in for a serious boost in performance.
RX 6000 vs. RTX 3000 Series: Power And Efficiency
In tests with 1440p games, the 6800 with 250W power draw managed to finish ahead of the xnxubd 2019 Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti. With 4K gaming, it maintained an advantage in the majority of titles.
RTX 3070, with 220W total power consumption, got really close to the performance of the RTX 2080 Ti in 1440p gaming and finished ahead in many 4K titles. However, despite the test results, the 2080 Ti is still a better GPU.
Further tests are required to have a credible conclusion of the performance of the 6800 and 3070, especially regarding 4K games. At this point, the best we can say is that the 6800 excels in 1440p gaming, even works better than the xnxubd 2020 Nvidia RTX 3090 with titles such as Forza Horizon 4, so it’s an ideal choice for gaming with these settings.
The 300W TDP of the RX 6800 XT helped it keep up with RX 6800 XT, which features 320W TDP with 4K titles and even lent it an advantage in 1440p gaming.
The same performance can be said for the 300W TDP of the RX 6900XT that ranked ahead of the RTX 3090 with a 350W in all of the WQHD games and various 4K ones. The efficiency here is quite significant as it used 50W less but still performed better.
RX 6000 vs. RTX 3000 Series: Pricing
AMD | Price | Nvidia | Price |
RX 6900XT | $1000 | RTX 3090 | $1500 |
RX 6800XT | $650 | RTX 3080 | $700 |
RX 6800 | $580 | RTX 3070 | $500 |
Final Thoughts
With the support for DirectX Ray Tracing, AMD GPUs are now on par with xnxubd 2020 Nvidia options.
Based on AMD-provided results, Radeon GPUs hold efficiency and performance advantage over xnxubd 2020 Nvidia, meaning they prove to be a better choice for gamers who want higher framerate with the 1440p resolution.
If 4k gaming is what you desire, the RX 6900XT is the best choice in our opinion, with both price and efficiency benefits.
With Nvidia maintains a small number of cards, if AMD can supply a larger number, they would surely secure a bigger market share.
