AMD Big Navi might not beat Nvidia RTX 3080, but it could come close

New rumors suggest that the upcoming AMD Big Navi graphics card will be close to challenging Nvidia's new GeForce RTX 3080 card, which will excite some people and disappoint others. It's exciting because the new RTX 3080 is shaping up to be a formidable flagship graphics card; our RTX 3080 review is coming soon to explain more, so the idea of ​​AMD building a GPU that can compete with one of the lesser cards. More powerful Nvidia has done interesting things. According to Moore's Law is Dead, the RDNA 2 Big Navi GPU will be within "spitting range of the RTX 3080 in terms of raster performance." If AMD doesn't 'beat' the 3080, it will definitely crush the RTX 3070." Nvidia has dominated the high-end GPU market for some time now, so it will be good to see AMD come out with a graphics card that rivals the flagship Nvidia RTX 3080. Anyone hoping that AMD would release an ``Nvidia killer'' GPU might be disappointed, as it's rumored that while Big Navi will come close to the performance of the RTX 3080, it won't beat it.Meanwhile, Nvidia also has the Much more powerful RTX 3090 GPU, so it looks like Team Green will continue to dominate the high-end and passionate market unopposed.

More details about Big Navi

As Tweaktown reports, Moore's Law is Dead claims to have more details on Big Navi. Apparently, it will be "noticeably" more power efficient than Nvidia's Amp cards like the RTX 3080. This could be good news, as the power-hungry RTX 3080 and 3090 could mean some upgraders need new drives. of energy. power supply to operate. It could also be smaller than Amp cards, thanks to "incredible improvements to the way RDNA manages memory and bandwidth." Again, this could make installing the GPU easier. Big Navi will also apparently offer ray-traced lighting effects that beat Nvidia's last-gen Turing graphics cards (like the RTX 2080), but are no match for Ampere cards. Also, while AMD is serious about Nvidia's DLSS technology, which offers big performance gains at ultra-high resolutions, there's no confirmation whether AMD has an alternative. Hopefully, we'll find out more about Big Navi when AMD launches on October 28.
