AMD Marketing Compares Last-Generation GPUs: Radeon RX 6800 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
As we await the launch of AMD's remaining lineup of Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs like RX 7800 XT, RX 7700 XT, etc., AMD's marketing department is comparing last-generation products against each other. Sasa Marinkovic, Senior Director of Gaming Marketing at AMD, has posted a Tweet that initially claimed to compare AMD Radeon RX 6800 16 GB gaming performance versus NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 8 GB card in ray tracing and rasterization. However, the follow-up Tweet cleared that the chart is a comparison for rasterization performance only, and no ray tracing has been enabled. In an odd move to compare last-generation solutions, it is logical to do so from a price perspective, as both GPUs can be found at relatively the same price point at retailers like Newegg.
As far as the performance, the chart shows a comparison of the average FPS at 1440p. In titles like Valorant, Radeon RX 6800 can achieve 31% higher FPS. NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 3070 was only faster in Metro Exodus, GTA V, and Dota 2, while the remaining titles benefitted Radeon RX 6800. You can check the chart below.

6750XT is 429€, 3070Ti is 519€. And 6800XT which is ~589€ has now one discounted model for 539€...
Choose the one you want to compare.. :D
Until the red fans get inflamed, I want to point out that AMD does not sell cheap for our sake, but because their stocks are full of expired products. The warranty of a video card expires when the next series is released.
Strange how they "praise" 6800 and say nothing about 7800. Why from 7900 directly to 7600? How many millions of 6800 lie in stocks, unsold?
Do you also pay "metaphorically" for the said dGPU?
Couple RT + overclocking the ever-loving crap out of it with MPT to make up for that 20% average deficiency in W1zz's test suite you're at twice the power of a average 4070 Ti already.
I find it hilarious that when it comes down to it, you're all perfectly content in giving up all performance per watt, consumption, thermal, feature and raw performance improvements up if it means to "stick it to Ngreedia".
To even remotely match the 4070 Ti's performance at any game you have to overclock the socks off a Navi 21 and you actually need to do it with a RX 6950 XT.
I do agree that it's a pointless statement though.In what game then? Even MWII, a notorious AMD favoured game a 6800XT is quite far away from a 4070Ti.

Typical gains are in the 10% (8.65%) range, that's not enough to catch the 4070Ti.
It's roughly the same power consumption as shown above (23W difference).
What thermals are you giving up? Oh my it might run up to 10C hotter. Who cares?
Ah yes the raw performance. 17% more performance for 40% higher price :laugh:
For me the "features" (fake frames and shit most games don't use) just isn't worth paying a lot more money to get a little less performance. Hence I'm doing the 7900XTX instead of the 4080.
