Waited 20 hours for a 6800. Let me tell you it was worth it!
Yeah me, too :-). Got my RX 6800 today. RT performance is actually a lot better than Day-0-reviews and even AMD stated.
I tested it in Warzone with RT: around 100 FPS with some drops below (especially in the plane) and in Control. AMD said FPS will be 95 on the RX 6800 XT (!).
Average FPS in Control is around 40 FPS in 1440p (and not 32.8 FPS like eurogamer.net stated; mind you RTX 3070 has roughly 44 at their benchmark). Not too bad for raw RT performance. But maybe it's just a different scene... Hopefully I'm right, though and they had a pre release driver... In 3440 * 1440 I get around 30 FPS on average. Not too bad considering this is without DLSS...
@@M4Looney Good choice. 6800 will age far better than 3070 that is guaranteed. mainly due to driver/game optimizations and then vram size. Game devs wont bother to optimize 8gb vram limit they had to work with last 5-6 years when even the consoles have 16gig memory. Even our studio has delayed our game because UE5 is coming out and we are gonna totally redo texturing. People forget that global illumination and texture and polygon details gives much better visual quality than some reflections and shadow quality.
Managed to snag one, can't wait to push this baby to the sky
Still waiting for mine to be shipped
Price?
10:36 ill be going team "whatever i can get my hands on this time"
why cant i have friends like this . Imagine the tech hand-me-downs this guy gives his homies
Most "smaller" youtube tech channels have to send their cards back, they get rotated between reviewers.
Can't wait to get one in 2022 :)
make that 2023 probably
I have two let me know if you wanna buy one hahah
Rtx stock bot on twitter notifys you when they come in stock. I just picked one up off newegg today.
When recommendations are faster than notifications!
Ayinu?
😂😂
The 16gb vram on this card turned out to be a blessing. This card will age better than it's each Nvidia competitors. Overclocking this card puts it very close to the xt model and the efficiency is unreal. Love this one still in mid 2024.
The availability still be the issue we have to think about instead of benchmarks .
👌
Watched Moore Law is Dead earlier. He reckons AMD are going to continue feeding lots of cards into the channel this year resulting in more AMD shipments than nvidia.
At least you know what you're getting by the time you're able to buy one
ruclips.net/video/Ba45nN7qzFI/видео.html
"graphics card overload at the moment"?
Not the stock tho
Great time to upgrade? Does he live in the same world as the rest of us?
@@MrTuxy he doesn't. He's a big RUclipsr. He gets those parts for free before they get released...
I was lucky enough to order an rx 6800 from AMD
Congrats. Got my card today (not from AMD, though). You will love it!
@@M4Looney I'm thinking of getting one today as it's available for me. Should I still?
@@OldManOrds
Hi,
yes. It was a very good decision so far.
The stock performance is way better than that of a RTX 3070. So the performance is somewhere between a RTX 3070 and a RX 6800 XT. And if you can activate SAM you'll gain additional 7 - 25 % more performance if any (game dependant of course). Yes, NVidia might get SAM, too but nonetheless free performance is always good.
I managed to get a good OCUV so that I'm running my card at ~2450 (2400 - 2500) MHz instead of the default ~2150 MHz. With my settings I'm able to run the card at stock fan curves at a reasonable temperature while getting additional 10 - 15 % more performance. I'm not far away from the RX 6800 XT performance.
May I ask how much the RX 6800 will cost? Because prices are crazy right now Idk if I can recommend this card at that prices. But keep in mind that due to the rise of crypto currency and GPU prices in general I think that GPUs will tend to get more expensive.
Greetings
Thaks for the latest uploads m8!

Wow just wow,what a channel! I found this channel the other day and it’s amazing! Keep it up 👍
I love your sense of humour. Really hope your channel grow
Is AMD going to make their own version of DLSS and/or improve RT with an update?
In my country pricing makes no sense. It's like freaking Narnia. Maybe you don't know but Nvidia in the EU only sells FE models in Germany, France, Spain and UK. So FE's are out of the question here. You may be thinking "well, just use a parcel forwarder". Stores from Germany where the FE is sold at it's EUR equivalent so 499 - 3070 and 699 - 3080 will CANCEL your order if you use a parcel forwarder. When asked they said it's Nvidia doing this, not them.
Prices:
3070 - ~780 EUR for the cheapest PALIT or ASUS DUAL NON-OC
3080 - ~985 EUR for the cheapest Gainward or GB Eagle or some Zotac
6800 - ~675 EUR for the reference model. So ~95 EUR over the EU MSRP.
6800XT - ~750 EUR for the reference model. So like 100 EUR over the EU MSRP.
tl;dr the 6800XT costs LESS than the 3070. So it all depends on pricing and availability in your area.
I got a 3070 from amazon.de for 650 euro. They shipped out of Germany
I basically have chosen every component for my first pc build besides the gpu, im struggling to choose one!
I think im going to wait maybe until january for amd to optimize their drivers and for super resolution as well and if nvidia doesn’t drop a 3070 ti (or super) under 600$ im going for team red!
choose 3070 if u like raytracing and dlss and if u use the gpu for 3d rendering , rx 6800 if u want to have 5-15 more fps (keep in mind the raytracing is the last gen and amd has no dlss (for now maybe?))
@@nurizza03 im a web developer so I dont really need a dedicated gpu besides gaming, im skipping this generation of consoles and building a pc for work and gaming
Its basically going to be 1440p gaming (4k maybe in future) and occasional ray tracing even tho im not a rt fanatic
What resolution and refresh rate are you using?
@@terryd8692 1440p 144hz
@@aniutbo I figure for my monitor ultrawide 3440x1440 @100hz I'd need a 3080 or 6800XT. You've got a few more pixels to push too. You can always drop from ultra settings but you might want a bit of future proofing unless you plan to upgrade often
I managed to snag a reference 6800 for $40 over msrp. I'm kinda torn between keeping it and returning it and eventually finding a reference XT. what do?
Idk man
Love the positive vibes as always!
I have been seeing this card compared to 3080, it's really good due to it similarity on games. But I'm still leaning on 3080 for not just gaming but also productivity
Here I am 2024 and the 6800 is now $379. Can't choose between this or the 7700xt. I Like this guy. A lot of RUclipsrs out there, too many. Keep up the good work.
I got a 3070 week ago i knew im not gonna regret for stock availability
Nice job man! Keep em coming!
Dude! You have a really nice channel, subscribed!
Nice to see apex comparison. One of my favor games. Can you add to ur test ReShade RT and PT?
rtx 3070 or rx 6800 for streaming,gaming at 2k and video editing?Also games like cyberpunk (my most anticipated game) I want to play with raytracing but some other games I dont care about it.
NVENC encoder is ace... and broadcast is very good.
Do I wait for new budget hardware or buy last gen high/mid range hardware when prices drop
Make a spreadsheet of costs per fps =D
@@PcCentric thank you I ordered a 3080 but I was just interested
@Ring-a-ding-ding baby thank you 🤣
Hey Marcus please may you do a review on the Tuf 3070 thanks anyway keep up the great content :)
As an Australian, I find your sarcasm very refreshing :) - Keep it up!
Great time to upgrade? You need stock available for that!
If it wasn't for my monitor being a Gsync then I would almost certainly get one of these cards (probably the XT version). Will likely go for the 3080 when everything calms down a bit. Still on a GTX 1080 atm. Thanks for the video
I managed to get my hands on an 3070. I traded that for a reference 6800. No regrets.
This RUclipsr should have 1m subs ❤️
building my new and first pc soon ive been on as prebuilt since april going with a 1660 super, cant wait!
how many rtx graphics cards does he have in his background he litterally has probobly over £15000 worth of tech in his background alone WTF
How much fps difference between reference 6800 and aftermarket cards?
Would you recommend the 6700 xt for 1080 p gaming and 1440p gaming? For like far cry and call of duty and halo infinite etc
Yes
Glad we can watch all these vids on cards you can't buy
I put a EK waterblock on that thing and now I stay at a boost of 2490-2510 @37-39c down to 960 on voltage! it is a beast
I want them to do rgb ?looks ugly in my view.
Good video i just started doing RX 6800 benchmarks
How about adding Dirt 5 / Godfall ray tracing.... you know a game optimized for AMD ray tracing.
Obviously the 6000 series aren't gonna do well with Nvidia optimized titles.
It's gonna come down to Nvidia vs AMD optimization
or
Nvidia vs AMD / Xbox/ PS5 optimization
Did you daisy chain the PCIe cable?
Happy 260k subs
I went 2x team red a reference and a red devil.... Wasnt going to get another but got a deal on the devil limited ed. And its just so beautiful. I will probably end up trading the ref for a 3070 who knows. Great vid man

What’s best for sim racing on triple screens and vr 3070/80 or the 6800/xt in best value for money I have a 2070super at the min
3080 or 6800xt, amd is cheaper but nvidia has a few more features, price is close enough so I think either option is good for you.
@@erubalu Cheaper with more vram. And AMD improves performance by drivers constantly.
@@bestopinion9257 Better ray tracing and DLSS on nvidia's side. Really depends on what games you are playing or coming out. But strictly for sim racing yeah you may be right on that. Except we don't have VR benchmarks yet, I suspect those perform better on nvidia according to benchmarks at 4k since VR is also high resolution.
@@erubalu As I said, I want the best image quality. So all I can get but without DLSS.
@@bestopinion9257 I still think either one of those cards will perform really well. Now the problem is finding one available. Honestly I would just pick the one I can grab first. If you want you can wait for Ultra wide and VR benchmarks but those are a bit niche and harder to find.
What card do u guys recommend for cod?
1660 Ti
AH this is the review lol I thought that was the other video you posted before (gotta admit was a bit disappointed at it), you probably should post your review first everyone else did it before! Anyway good video, have a like and keep up the good work.
Which one did you think was the review? The unboxing one or the build
@@joaquindominguez8809 the build

The best part about your videos is that your arms are 3 inches around. So we get a full view of the equipment you 're working with. Thanks.
Should I trade my rtx 3070 +150 for a 6800
Is 650w psu enough for this build?
According to Hardware Unboxed, yes, but I’ll go with 750-800W Bronze cert just to be sure.
if it have something similar to NVENC Codec For Streaming , i'll go with red team if not then , RTX is teh only way to go
go green then , amd didnt really progess on that front this generation.
Water pump cooling tubes oriented correctly but at the top of the loop if that radiator is below rather than vertical 😦😲❌❌
SAM is a feature that will improve as developers take advantage of it, rather than doing complicated memory management.
What about streaming ?
What image did he have as his background on his desktop
I recently picked up a used reference 6800 and I can get a stable 2450 mhz at 880mv. Lucked out on mine
What would be a best GPU to get 144 FPS on a 1440p monitor for COD:MW2019 on the highest setting. I don’t really care about ray tracing just the normal game on highest setting on average of 144 FPS.
I get that with my 5700xt in MW

Can you get a double height 6800xt or only the 6800? My case won't take a 2.5 slot card ☹
Probs non reference yeah
@@PcCentric Plan B is to get a new case that you've built in 🙂
Can't wait for the 6900xt it's going to dominate nvidia cards the last time I owned an AMD card was the 6970 im looking forward to jumping over to AMD. AMD is always Better value for money
It may be cheaper than a 3090, but it will still dominate a lot of wallets.
next time you do bench marks run the card a few times to warm it up before doing comparison. as card is warmer it performs less well.
Rocking 6800 XT @ 2.55Ghz
AMD hit a home run with their cards. Happy
SAM does not require PCIE 4 so don't mislead viewers please, this is important.
can u do the best part for laptop pllllsssss
I'm very impressed but I'm still torn between the 3080 and 6800xt for my upgrade. I play at 1440p/144hz and want as close to the 144 as I can. I keep holding out that DLSS 2.0 will be rolled out into more games but I HIGHLY doubt it will. 2 years into ray tracing fad and still very few games support it.
Pretty sure games going forward from next year will adapt to Ray tracing and DLSS. Especially the Nvidia gamework branded ones. If consoles are doing it, pc will too.
Ray tracing in games is here to stay, better lighting is one of the main ways by which visuals can be improved.
And ray tracing is not really a fad, it's been around since the 16th century. Nvidia have really done a job on you by conflating the concept of ray tracing with RTX.
@@Safetytrousers isn't RTX their branding for AI cores?
@@adamm784 Not just that, it's a number of proprietary technologies. Otherwise there would not have been news that the visual quality, aside from performance, of AMD ray tracing was not as good as that of Nvidia.
@@Safetytrousers I'm really looking forward to RTX I/O and building machine deep learning tools
Best AMD CPU for gaming ?
Depending on budget
I just like how all youtubers assume you can go to the store and pick up a GPU/CPU this gen...
I got this and its aging like fine wine
Im not first
Im not last
But most importantly
Nobody aksed
Dude your're last,
i mean your comment is the last one.
why do people daisy chain their 8 pin power connectors on their GPUs? Wouldn't that cause intermittent instability?
I've never had an issue
Has anyone tried this with Valve Index? I can't find any reviews
I'm happy because AMD can now compete with Nvidia (it is better for us, the consumers, for sure). I still like Nvidia more because their drivers are way more stable (I have AMD RX580 and the drivers are a pain), but, it's good that now you can choose based on your preferences.
image sharpening on AMD does more for the graphics in control than Ray tracing does anyways.
This video will be helpful a year from now
Am able to sustain 2450 with no issues on mine
Same little higher on sapphire pulse model
This is by far the best card for the Mac Pro 5.1 with open core.
DLSS and Ray tracing will be better also early next year on AMD, but now only 2-3 games are really good in RTX (Control, Metro Exodus, Cyberpunk 2077) DLSS 2.0 is in 2-3 games all? :D
what do you mean , do you think rx 6800 will get drivers ? early next years with better dlss and rt
Man I was expecting that nvidia would be shamed to death!!!!😤
ofc not this is zen 1 when compared to intel. rdna 3 will be where it gets really spicey.
@@zoltankramer3383 no ifs. Having manufacturing problems ties in to making solid cpus its because of these problems that they are still on the same node. And you said nvidia is not intel which they literally are. They're a monopoly who has improved unlike intel but would still being give ok jumps of perf for 1000s of dollars
@@justmixah3408 yeah completely understand. It was AMD’s first graphic card that got anything to do with ray tracking. And who knows when amd comes up with their own version of dlss they might even end up beating nvidia. At least they did not slap a massive 1500 dollar price of a graphic card for just a 10% percent hike to its predecessor.
Btw highly excited for my 6800xt
Getting one for £500.. 😂 getting one.. 🤣
seems like a super good paring for my 1440p 165hz monitor
I like the design!
10:25 but fortnite IS an RTX (and DLSS) title now... It's a minor point, but yeah. Good vid btw
I wanted an RTX 3080, couldn't get one. Next option, RTX 3070 couldn't get on either... Next option, RX 6800 XT, Waaaaay overpriced around 200 Euros over MSRP, no reference cards available and only sapphire nitro for 899 Euros, so no buy for me, too much money. All of the sudden a wild XFX RX 6800 reference appears for 629 Euros... I had to get it !! it was my chance and got it. Considering that i could get one around 2 weeks after release date, this means that AMD GPUs availability is better than Nvidia, at least in this part of the world (Portugal).
Yup the only game I turned ray tracing on for is also Control.
I got my RX 6800 today and I as well played Control with Ultra raytracing on a 3440 * 1440 monitor at around 30 FPS. Graphics look gorgeous. Performance is meh as you can imagine... But it's better than I thought performance wise. ~40 FPS in 1440p...
Do you own a Geforce or a Radeon GPU? If Geforce then tell me 1440p or 3440 * 1440 performance at Ultra settings in the tutorial stage please (where she is in that building not in the dream world and also which setting and card you use). Edit: without DLSS of course.
By the time you can get one of these or a 3080, AMD will be launching the RX7800 and Nvidia the RTX4080.
If you are a Linux user, wait at least another year for a working linux driver.
Only Nvidia works on launch day out of the box with Linux.
AMD graphics is for Windows gamers only.
if this card wouldnt be 80 dolar more expensive i would go but 80 dolar is matter..my point of view there is 80 dolar cheaper cards almost same..i would go with 3070 but i dont buy 3070 either cuz 8 gb is joke for 4k especially in future..so i wait ti models ..or i would go with 6800xt..
Love
Once again, AMD let's it's customers Beta Test their hardware.
Can you Test it in fortnite?
I actually think the reference cards are the better looking cards of them all. I really wanted a reference card myself but got a red dragon.
The RX6800 is so efficient it could be a 2 fan card. Go third party for no coil whine and much much cooler. I believe it's a bios control that makes the RX6800 not overclock. It's the same card with some bits turned off ot burned off, as the 6800XT, it uses the same PCB and Ram, it should clock to 2500. It would be too good so it's artificially limited. Mine crashes right around 2300mhz. Undervolted, mine would exceed 2300mhz and crash even when it wasn't overclocked. I think it's a bios control. Possibly you could install the RX6800XT bios and then it would clock like the XT version. Or these days, just spend the extra and get the XT because prices have come down.
Theres still coil whine with the msi gaming z trio
@@lazyturtle61 Yeah, @1080p cranking out more frames than a monitor can display.
@@robertkubrick3738 1440p at half the refresh rate
@@lazyturtle61 You do know people get a substandard card now and then? How big is your sample size?
@@lazyturtle61 It might just be you. I have zero problems with my Gaming X, my Asus Tuff or my Sapphire, but all have good power supplies, all are undervolted, all are permitted the maximum possible power, all are running 60C or less in well ventilated cases. It might just be you.
Hi Marcus, you replied to me on Instagram... thank you 😊
Am ok with my 2070 tbh...I just play siege Everytime XD...and it will be far enough to run most of the games in medium or high
Team Red All The Way 😎
It looks great, however I still would prefer a 3080 over a 6800 I think. Even though its $50 more expensive, you get much more mature ray tracing, dlss (which is even better now with 2.0), generally better performance overall, and (in my opinion) a more attractive card. I think what AMD has done here is extremely impressive in that their lineup now seriously competes with Nvidia, especially with that 6900 vs the 3090. So I wouldn’t be mad at all with a team red card, but would prefer team green still I’d say. Now it’s just about availability for both manufacturers and how easily people can get them, especially for msrp
6800xt then! 6gb more ram and there will be a DLSS like software in January.
