NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 vs AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT

GeForce RTX 3080 vs Radeon RX 6900 XT comparison

For gaming, the Radeon RX 6900 XT graphics card is better than the GeForce RTX 3080 in our tests.

Our database shows that the Radeon RX 6900 XT has a slightly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. In addition, the Radeon RX 6900 XT also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Radeon RX 6900 XT has significantly more memory with 16 GiB of memory compared to 10 GiB. If you're planning at playing games at high resolutions with high-quality textures, you will need a lot of memory.

In addition, the Radeon RX 6900 XT has a slightly lower TDP at 300 W when compared to the GeForce RTX 3080 at 320 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

In conclusion, all specs and GPU benchmarks considered, will recommend the Radeon RX 6900 XT over the GeForce RTX 3080.
