Nvidia’s card leads 21.6% in Metro Exodus and a massive 46.2% in Cyberpunk 2077. Upscaling techniques help improve RT performance on both cards, but that’s another major area where they differ.

You can see that in action in Cyberpunk 2077 and Metro Exodus above (two of the best PC games with ray tracing). The result is much lower ray tracing performance on AMD’s RX 6000 graphics cards. The RTX 3080 Ti comes with dedicated ray tracing cores, while the RX 6900 XT packs a “ray accelerator” into each compute unit. Ray tracing is where AMD and Nvidia cards show the biggest differences. If you play a lot of different games and use an Intel processor instead of an AMD one, however, Nvidia’s card is the better option. As typical of AMD versus Nvidia, performance comes down to if you want a large advantage in some games or a small advantage in most other games.Īssuming you’ll play at 4K, the RTX 3080 Ti and RX 6900 XT are nearly identical at rasterized performance. The biggest lead came in Rainbow Six Siege - I ran it with Vulkan instead of DirectX - where the RTX 3080 Ti shows a 10% lead. The RTX 3080 Ti leads in the other four games I tested, but the advantages aren’t as stark. These games usually favor AMD graphics cards, and their performance is bolstered even further by SAM. There are two titles where the RX 6900 XT has a dominating lead: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and Forza Horizon 5, where the RX 6900 XT shows a 19% and 28.9% lead, respectively.

Even the best gaming processors will limit your GPU at lower resolutions, so I recommend shopping our list of the best 1080p graphics cards if you don’t plan on playing at 4K.Īlthough it looks like a clear win for the RX 6900 XT, the devil’s in the details. AMD’s card was 8.7% faster at 1440p and 13.7% faster at 1080p, which mainly shows the power of SAM. The RX 6900 XT has a small 1.8% lead, which is barely notable. These are both 4K graphics cards, but there’s very little difference at that resolution. All of my tests were run with a Ryzen 9 5950X and ReBAR or Smart Access Memory (SAM) enabled. I tested the RTX 3080 Ti and RX 6900 XT across a slew of titles in 1080p, 1440p, and 4K. Even if you find a deal on the RTX 3080 Ti, you’ll spend more for it than you will the RX 6900 XT on average. No matter if you look at list price or current prices, about $200 separates the RTX 3080 Ti and RX 6900 XT. This model is a little faster and comes with a slightly higher price - around $1,100 for most models. You can save about $100 on the secondhand market, but you’ll need to scour for a deal.Ī big reason why the RX 6900 XT is so much cheaper is that AMD recently released the RX 6950 XT. The MSI RX 6900 XT Gaming X Trio - the model I tested for this comparison - is available for around $900, for example. The card released for $1,000, but the vast majority of models are available for less than that. The RX 6900 XT is older, launching in late 2020, so it sells for less. On the secondhand market, you can find models for around $1,000, saving you a couple of hundred dollars if you don’t mind a pre-owned card. Still, there are multiple models available at or below list price. Some overclocked RTX 3080 Ti models scale up to around $1,350, and if you want a top-end model, you could spend close to $1,500. The Gigabyte RTX 3080 Ti Gaming OC, for example, is around $1,100. It exploded in price due to the GPU shortage, but you can find it below list price now. The RTX 3080 Ti launched in mid-2021 for a list price of $1,200. GPU prices are dropping every day, meaning we can finally have a fair comparison between the RTX 3080 Ti and RX 6900 XT.
