AMD Radeon RX 6800
AMD's high-end RDNA 2 card from November 2020: 60 compute units, 16GB of GDDR6 across a 256-bit bus and 128MB of Infinity Cache for 1440p and 4K gaming. At $579 it was the entry point to AMD's 'Big Navi' family, trading blows with Nvidia's RTX 3070 in raster performance.
Pros
- 16GB of GDDR6 gives more headroom than rival cards at the same price point
- 60 compute units and 128MB of Infinity Cache keep 1440p and 4K frame rates competitive
- 250W reference TDP needs just two 8-pin power connectors
- DirectX 12 Ultimate support with hardware ray accelerators for real-time ray tracing
Cons
- Ray tracing throughput trails Nvidia's competing RTX 30-series cards
- No dedicated AI/tensor cores, so AMD upscaling relies purely on shader-based FSR
- 650W minimum PSU recommendation is higher than the efficiency-focused cards that followed
Below average
