Radeon RX 6800M vs Radeon RX 6850M XT benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Radeon RX 6850M XT beats the Radeon RX 6800M in gaming performance.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 6850M XT has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that they both have the same amount of memory at 12 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 6800M has a slightly lower TDP at 145 W when compared to the Radeon RX 6850M XT at 165 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon RX 6850M XT is faster than the Radeon RX 6800M.
