Our Verdict: With some tuning, the RTX 4080 makes the most sense for gamers with 4K monitors and it is better than RX 6800 XT by a margin. Though serious gamers hardly play at 4k. For everyone else, especially those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RX 6800 XT could be the better value choice in the short term. The RTX 4080 is faster by 34% for 1440p gaming. However, RX 6800 XT is still capable of producing more than 60 frames per second. For 1080p games, upgrading from RX 6800 XT to RTX 4080 is not worth it if targeting 60 frames per second. The price/performance ratio is much better for RX 6800 XT .

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080

Spec for spec, this RTX 4080 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RTX 3080, by boasting 32.8 % more fps. The RTX 4080 has 16 GB RAM compared to the RTX 3080 's 10 GB video memory.

In our synthetic benchmarks, the RTX 4080 blows past the RTX 3080, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and, amazingly, even the RTX 3090 as well. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 4080 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RTX 3080, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and it really justifies an upgrade.

For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Starfield, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Immortals of Aveum, The Callisto Protocol, Remnant II at 69 fps to 104 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 92 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Starfield, Immortals of Aveum, Remnant II, The Callisto Protocol, Microsoft Flight Simulator at 63 fps to 80 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 70 fps.

For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Atomic Heart, Microsoft Flight Simulator, Marvel's Avengers, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, Borderlands 3 at 63 fps to 80 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 68 fps.

AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT

The RX 6900 XT might be the extreme flagship of the latest RDNA 2.0 set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most high-end PC gamers. On the other hand, the RX 6800 XT is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 649. The RX 6800 XT is much more expensive than the RX 5700 XT as it costs a whopping $ 649. Compare this to the RX 5700 XT, which came originally at a price of $ 399. Meanwhile, the NVIDIA closest equivalent card is the RTX 3080 which costs $ 699.

Spec for spec, this RX 6800 XT leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RX 5700 XT, by boasting 92.3 % more fps. The RX 6800 XT has 16 GB RAM compared to the RX 5700 XT 's 8 GB video memory.

Compared to its NVIDIA 's closest rival, RTX 3080, the RX 6800 XT was 1.6 % faster. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RX 6800 XT consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RX 5700 XT and it really justifies an upgrade.

For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Microsoft Flight Simulator, Immortals of Aveum, The Callisto Protocol, Remnant II, The Last of Us Part I at 68 fps to 85 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 75 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play The Last of Us Part I, Forspoken, Atomic Heart, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Hogwarts Legacy at 65 fps to 85 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 73 fps.

For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Metro Exodus, GreedFall, Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, Godfall at 60 fps to 61 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 60 fps.

RTX 4080 vs RX 6800 XT with Ryzen 9 5950X vs Core i9-10900K at 4K and ultra vs ultra settings

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 / Ryzen 9 5950X

In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of RTX 4080 is simply ridiculous. For those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RTX 4080 is very expensive and there are better value choices in the short term. It is worth noting that the RTX 4080 is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. In terms of memory, the RTX 4080 's 16384 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. 4K gaming is joyous on this RTX 4080 , and with a little tweaking to your AA settings, it'd be hard to imagine a title not capable of 60 fps on average.

AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT / Core i9-10900K

It is worth noting that the RX 6800 XT is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. In terms of memory, the RX 6800 XT 's 16384 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. Deciding whether to invest so much money in a high-end GPU like RX 6800 XT requires careful thought. 4K gaming is joyous on this RX 6800 XT , and with a little tweaking to your AA settings, it'd be hard to imagine a title not capable of 60 fps on average.
