New benchmark results for the rumored AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT have surfaced online, suggesting that the GPU could outperform the Nvidia RTX 3080. The benchmarks, shared by Igor's Lab, would come from Complementary Partners (AIBs). As VideoCardz noted, the AMD Ryzen 6800 XT is the only Big Navi variant that will be available to third-party card manufacturers at launch. Three benchmarks are offered: 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme, Time Spy Extreme, and Port Royal, all of which highlight the GPU's 4K performance and its potential advantage over the RTX 3080. In Fire Strike Extreme, for example, the so-called AMD RX 6800 XT scores 13066, giving it a significant lead over the RTX 3080 (10688) and an even bigger lead over the Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti of the year. last (8551). This is particularly impressive considering the RX 6800 XT is expected to arrive as a scaled-down alternative to the RX 6900 XT, and AMD will have to position the card as a rival to the Nvidia RTX 3070. AMD's Big Navi GPU also takes the lead. in Time Spy Extreme: The graphics card scored 8232, beating both the RTX 3080 (7977) and the RTX 2080 Ti (4285). However, in 3DMark Port Royal at 4K, Nvidia's RTX seems to have the upper hand. With a score of 5.415, the Ampere-based GPU outperforms AMD's RDNA 6800-based RX 2 XT by more than 20%. Since this is a ray tracing specific benchmark, it's no surprise that the Nvidia RTX 3080 came out on top. However, ray tracing may not yet be fully optimized in current AMD drivers and we can expect better performance after the card's release. We don't have long to wait for that to be the case, as AMD will launch its first Big Navi GPUs on October 28.
