Dude, I got a 3080 10GB for $300 recently for a build, and an RX 6800 for $270. I decided to test them both in my living room "console" build with a 5600X and 32GB of DDR4 3200. Blew me away that when they were both undervolted and overclocked the 6800 got within margin of error of 6800 XT numbers, had about 35% less power draw, accounting for RDNA 2 TBP, than the 3080 and performed so closely that I saw no reason to use the Nvidia card in the build. An RX 6800 level of performance per watt in that system is now what I would like the top end of RDNA 4 to offer so I can upgrade.

[@KevinEF]

the 6000 series is amazing at oc and undervolts. I undervolted my 6800xt and it consistently gets 22k+ on the graphics score of time spy, the base clock gets 19.4k. So I got a 13.4% increase and it uses less power! But that 3080 for $300 is a great price, I usually find the 3080 and 6800xt for $350+ used.

[@JosMyOpinion]

@KevinEF 100% agree with you there. Currently pulling just under 300W total system power, which is bonkers. I play with a controller on this system so I'm looking at upgrading the TV from a 55" to a larger 120hz panel. Enjoying improved visual smoothness and control responsiveness, and can turn on Frame Gen to hit 120 where necessary, at 300-ish watts? Absolutely count me in.

NON AMD user doesnt know that when amd launchs it is -5% performance when compared to nvidia but 1 to 2 years after it gets like +5% to + 10% more performance over the nvidia card. With ada lovelace i think that not all amd cars will get this because of the dlss 3 and frame gen. This saved. But ppl were dumb and bought nvidia ll way up to this gen. . The only generation i see that for a few cards nvidia was blantantly better was in this ada lovelace. (4000 series because of dlss+frame gen).

​@@Hardsky5123 I should've been more clear, my bad. I've been happy with the performance of the 3070. It's 8gb was REALLY starting to show its age for me at 1440p medium/high settings. So, I wanted to check out team red's higher vram options. As we all know with team green, any gpu with more than 8gb memory is too expensive these days for what it offers. I set my eyes on a 6750xt for a sale price of $320 (this sale has since expired and the price is back to $370). 12gb memory for basically the same raw performance as the 3070 for that price was a no brainer for me. There are caveats though. FSR 3 doesn't look quite as good as DLSS 2.0, but it still holds its own. Ray tracing is also understandably weaker on the 6750xt, but I don't use it enough to care too much.

I was midway through a full platform build when the GPU 'crisis' went into overdrive and I waited almost a full year to get an evga 3070. After running a 1070ti, I was thoroughly disappointed that the 3070 wasn't a stronger card, and the measly 8GB was already a limiting factor on the 10 series. Went to a 7900xt fairly recently and good god, it blows the 3070 out of the water in every available matrix by at least double. I primarily went for the 7900xt for both the boost in VRAM, but also because the AMD card was an absolute steal at $630 for a Good card (the 3070 I wasn't paying inflated prices and got it at ~$540 when mining prices disappeared). While I use it primarily for CAD/modeling and some simulation duty, gaming has been Beautiful being able to finally see amazing fps in Ultra settings. Even at 2k ultra native with No helper settings (no frame gen, etc), going from the high 60s to 180-240 fps makes you feel invincible for a bit, like holy sh!t, what else can I do?!

If I had known I'd only be looking at 5-8fps average gain, I would have sat on the 30 series or wandered back to team red sooner (my last experience from them was the appalling a 280x which was laughably bad). I was eyeballing a 6950, but at the time I was still chained to CUDA processes outside of gaming, as has been my lot for the last 14 years.

You need VRAM to game. not an overpriced paperweight . In terms of performance, i mean it maybe beat 2080 on some stuff but to simply enjoy tarkov in 1440p is not even nearly enough. now go and count unoptimised unity games from the past decade. yeah. many biger titles struggle wt amount of vram. 10 is bare minimum. 12 is 4 more than useles 8. 16 is surely the way to go if you want to have peace of mind for the next 2 or 3 years. all the games i play ended up unoptimised so having bare min of 8 is just not making you feel like youve spent your 600 wisely.

i undervolted my 3070 it uses 130-150W instead of stock 220W for the same performance, stable and no crashes, extremely efficient card

[@lucasrem]

why not that RTX 4070 ?

[@lsnexus2080]

@@lucasremnot a good card either. Unless you are buying 4070 Ti Super with 16gb card. The best nvidia card release as of the date for both price and performance, Vram, and capable of running full RT in 1440p with high FPS on demanding games like wukong.

[@yr6sport418]

​@@s4yto Yes, the 3070 has more room to reduce power with undervoltage using the MSI afterburner. My 3070TI draws about 280-300 watts in stock, and with undervoltage it can reduce to 200-220 watts, but at the same time I can apply a little bit of overclock to the VRAM and GPU to make the card perform better than stock. My RX6800XT will draw around 260 watts in stock, but the power draw has a limit to be reduced to only 5%, or a maximum 6%, to around 235-245 watts.

So now we’re calling it a chip shortage, I see.

[@domoncar6782]

It was always a chip shortage and was called that then as well. It's just that in the PC building circle it affected GPUs the most. Outside of that, the chip shortage is still affecting many markets. It caused the car prices to soar and has made spare parts difficult to procure. Airlines were hit and so were many many industries. Entire designs had to be redone to handle the chip shortage.

I'm Team Green because they're cheaper when used. Team Red has cheaper MSRP. Probably because of VRAM amounts. Works for me.

[@AKMcF]

Hmmm, I don't think the 6800 is capable of anything new. The 3070 was always a 1080p RT card regardless of how it was marketed, that's where it's strength lies. I'm gussing there's a few frustrated 1440p 3070 owners out there now.

[@XFXGX]

6800 literally runs any game, what are you talking about. 70 tier have always been 1440p, it was last gen’s flagship but cheaper

[@balthorpayne]

1080p RT with DLSS sounds like a pretty mediocre time.

You can literally google for nvidia marketing and check that it was marketed as a 1440p card. You are delusional.

[@helldog3105]

This is an interesting video. I am curious though. I recall when the RX 6800 card came out that the performance was more in favor of the RTX 3070 card in most games. Is this improvement in performance in games simply down to the games being benchmarked, or is there a significant performance increase provided by the drivers being used? Don't get me wrong, I love my 7900 XT card that I have and the 5700 XT I had before it was a great card for me. But the original reviews I thought showed the 3070 being the more performant card?

Vram has proven to be more important than IA Tec for gaming , and if you are like me and don't care for ray traicing (I can't even tell the difference between RT on vs off most of times) then AMD is for you.

[@robertbrainard5651]

i've been comparing the 2080 ti or 3070 or 6800 for months and bought the 6800 2 days ago on ebay because of the 16gb vram. I thought about buying the 2080 ti but because nvidia might be ending its driver updates sooner, that's why i choose the 6800. I wanted the 6800 over the XT version due to power usage. the 6800 i can still use my 550 watt as long as i keep it at stock and i also got a 5700x that has a 65 watt tdp. Also since i got a 5700x, i want to utilize the SAM for the 6800. Also another reason i picked the 6800 was price, its currently around the same price or cheaper used than the 3070 on ebay. Also i don't have to use some weird connector that could potentially fail or cause a fire that Nvidia had done. Also with the way games are going, 16gb is just future proofing so later down the line, the 6800 will still be a value card over the 3070 which might not be around much longer due to the 8 gb vram.

[@lawfulsoup8335]

My 6800xt is amazing at 4K with the extra vram. it actually is comparable in a lot of games that I run on my 3090 system. Only difference is that you make sure ray tracing (Shiny textures and depending on the game mirror reflections on glass) is completely off for that. But even games like Throne and liberty and halo infinite run basically identical for FPS. also to note is the 3090 has a AMD 5950x cpu and only 32gb of 3200MHZ ram while the 6800xt has an AMD 5700x3D and 32GB of ram at 3600mhz. Not sure if the 3D cache helps this case with the 5700x3d vs the 5950x.

[@Aggrosk8]

My 3070 can struggle at 1440p medium settings when playing Diablo 4. That game uses almost all the v-ram. If I’m trying to stream the game, OBS constantly gets encoder overload even when lowering the preset. I hope to eventually get a new gpu with higher v-ram

[@Yan1nc]

The only reason my Titan Xp has been able to keep up some how is because of the 12gb of vram and that i don't play crazy hard to run games, some OC'ing helped at 1440p, G sync is amazing for anything around 60 FPS
