RX 6800 xt vs 3080 Overclocked?

[SupersonicSaint]

Ignoring ray tracing, ignoring DLSS 2.0, ignoring everything but pure fps, which cards run better overclocked? Something like an overclocked TUF 3080 or a RX 6800xt?

 

Thanks!

They seem to trade blows depending on the game. 

Games that do benefit from S.A.M. will lean in favour of the 6800XT more often than not, but Nvidia will likely be bringing that same feature to their own cards as well (and.. it probably won't require a Ryzen 5000 CPU on a 500 series chipset board to function).

 

If you don't care about all the Nvidia specific features, I'd probably take the 6800XT just because the extra VRAM could prove useful in the long run and, as mentioned above, they're about neck in neck in terms of rasterisation performance.

Okay thanks. One more question, do you know why games played on the RX 6000 series always have lower contrast?

Erm... I'm not aware of that being a thing to be perfectly honest.

The 6800XT will easily wipe the floor with the 3080 when both are overclocked. The 6800XT actually is better compared to the 3090 when overclocking is in the equation, and raytracing isn't. (not because it has worse raytracing, but because no games are optimized for it) DLSS based comparisons need to wait for the super-rez feature that AMD is working on.

on max oc it seems the 6800xt is quite a bit faster than the 3080 on 1080p/1440p, and a bit slower on 4k (likely vram bneck). Wasn't aware of the lower contrast thing either, will check it out when everything's in stock

Do AMD new cards do well with machine learning tasks ?

 

Nvidia's CUDA NN and machine learning features have been incredibly powerful for running Ai chess engines. Their rtx cards are especially good.

 

Does AMD have something similar in their new cards?

Not as well as Nvidia cards. Nvidia have dedicated hardware in their cards for that task, and AMD does not.

No, they do not. It is not a function that is used widely. As such, AMD decided to focus on giving the best performance for the price in the most common functions that people buy a dedicated GPU for.
