AMD Radeon RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT Review
3DMARK: Port Royal

3DMARK: Port Royal
One of the first Ray Tracing benchmarks to appear, the value of Port Royal cannot be overstated. Games always take a while to adopt new technologies but benchmark/demos can get on board much faster and show off where your hard-earned is going. With the next generation of consoles supporting Ray Tracing too it’s only a matter of time before it becomes a bigger part of our lives. Especially as now AMD are on board with the Ray Tracing world and the latest generation of consoles is equipped with that hardware. The time to adopt is now.

Welcome back to the world of competition AMD. Seriously well done on this product. Feels good to see them fighting back hard.
Look foward to the 6900/XTQuote

Good performance. Mediocre Raytracing for now. Great power consumption. Negligible overclocking gains.
600 € and 670 € here in Spain respectively (out of stock). Next year we'll have enough stock I guess.Quote

About what i expected tbh so not disapointed, but with regards to stock come next year it'll be what i can get my hands on cause atm it's a right mess.Quote
Wowzers, that's very, very good. Both the 6800 and 6800XT are 1440p kings for sure. Congratulations, RTG! And the 4k performance is still highly competitive.
Thanks so much for the thorough review, as always.
I noticed TPU had much lower power consumption numbers. I know everyone tests differently with different systems, so I'm not comparing them. I just want to add to how competitive AMD is. Looking at TPU's numbers, the 6800 draws less power than the 5700XT in gaming... and obviously way less than the 3080 and even the 3070. That's an incredible feat for the same 7nm process!
And the temperatures are definitely there as well. The cooler seems to be performing admirably. It's the first time in donkey's years where you could buy the AMD reference design and not feel like you're compromising on anything.
Ray-tracing is certainly behind Nvidia; they have a strong lead on AMD it seems. I wouldn't consider that a deal-breaker, but the 3070 and 3080 offer better value for money if you care a lot about RT. Add DLSS to that and Nvidia aren't in trouble of losing too many sales I don't think.
Seeing as I saw early UK listings at over £700, that's excellent pricing for Spain.Quote
