Our Verdict: Upgrading from RTX 3080 to RX 6900 XT is not recommended as it is less than 30% of improvement in performance. In general, a reasonable upgrade is between 30% and 50% or more to justify the purchase of new hardware. The price/performance ratio is much better for RTX 3080 .

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 6900 XT

The RX 6900 XT is much more expensive than the RX 5700 XT as it costs a whopping $ 999. Compare this to the RX 5700 XT, which came originally at a price of $ 399. Meanwhile, the NVIDIA closest equivalent card is the RTX 3090 which costs $ 1499. Spec for spec, this RX 6900 XT leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RX 5700 XT, by boasting 103.7 % more fps.

The RX 6900 XT has 16 GB RAM compared to the RX 5700 XT 's 8 GB video memory. Compared to its NVIDIA 's closest rival, RTX 3090, the RX 6900 XT was 1.5 % faster.

Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RX 6900 XT consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RX 5700 XT and it really justifies an upgrade.
