Our Verdict: With some tuning, the RTX 3080 makes the most sense for gamers with 4K monitors and it is better than RX 6700 XT by a margin. Though serious gamers hardly play at 4k. For everyone else, especially those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RX 6700 XT could be the better value choice in the short term. The RTX 3080 is faster by 42% for 1440p gaming. However, RX 6700 XT is still capable of producing more than 60 frames per second. For 1080p games, upgrading from RX 6700 XT to RTX 3080 is not worth it if targeting 60 frames per second.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080

The RTX 3090 might be the extreme flagship of the latest Ampere set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most high-end PC gamers. On the other hand, the RTX 3080 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 699. The good news is, with the release of the RTX 3080 Ti, the RTX 3080 's price is getting more discount.

Spec for spec, this RTX 3080 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RTX 2080, by boasting 69.4 % more fps. The RTX 3080 has 10 GB RAM compared to the RTX 2080 's 8 GB video memory.

Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 3080 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RTX 2080, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and it really justifies an upgrade. Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, RX 6800 XT, the RTX 3080 was -1.6 % slower.

AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT

AMD ’s xx00 cards have always been defined by mid-range prices with performance that knocks on the door of high-end graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the RDNA 2.0 graphics card inside the RX 6700 XT, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend. The RX 6700 XT is much more expensive than the RX 5700 as it costs a whopping $ 479. 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 6700 XT leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RX 5700, by boasting 44.8 % more fps. The RX 6700 XT has 12 GB RAM compared to the RX 5700 's 8 GB video memory.

Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RX 6700 XT consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RX 5700, AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT and it really justifies an upgrade. Compared to its NVIDIA 's closest rival, RTX 3070, the RX 6700 XT was -8.7 % slower.
