The good news is, with the release of the RX 6800 XT, the RX 6800 's price is getting more discount. The RX 6800 is much more expensive than the RX 5700 as it costs a whopping $ 579. Compare this to the RX 5700, AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT, which came originally at a price of $ 349, $ 399. Meanwhile, the NVIDIA closest equivalent card is the RTX 3070 which costs $ 499.
Spec for spec, this RX 6800 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RX 5700, by boasting 75.2 % more fps. The RX 6800 has 16 GB RAM compared to the RX 5700 's 8 GB video memory.
Compared to its NVIDIA 's closest rival, RTX 3070, the RX 6800 was 10.4 % faster. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RX 6800 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RX 5700, AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT and it really justifies an upgrade.
For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play The Callisto Protocol, Remnant II, The Last of Us Part I, Halo Infinite, Forspoken at 64 fps to 82 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 72 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Atomic Heart, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Hogwarts Legacy, Dead Space, Halo Infinite at 61 fps to 74 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 68 fps.
For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Far Cry 6, Total War: Warhammer III, Guardians of the Galaxy, Battlefield 2042, Gears of War 5 at 61 fps to 65 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 63 fps.
The RTX 3070 might be the mid-range flagship of the latest Ampere set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most entry-level PC gamers. On the other hand, the RTX 3060 Ti is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 399. NVIDIA ’s xx60 cards have always been defined by entry-level prices with performance that knocks on the door of mid-range graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Ampere graphics card inside the RTX 3060 Ti, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.
Spec for spec, this RTX 3060 Ti leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RTX 2060 SUPER, by boasting 30.8 % more fps. In our synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 3060 Ti blows past the RTX 2060 SUPER and, amazingly, even the RTX 2070 as well.
Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, RX 5700 XT, the RTX 3060 Ti was 22.1 % faster. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 3060 Ti consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RTX 2060 SUPER and it really justifies an upgrade.
For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Forspoken, Halo Infinite, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Atomic Heart, Cyberpunk 2077 at 64 fps to 70 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 67 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Red Dead Redemption 2, A Plague Tale: Requiem, F1 22, Dying Light 2, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart at 60 fps to 61 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 61 fps.
