Is it the fastest card across the board? No. Hot Hardware, in contrast, writes: “The AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT rocks. It’s such an incremental bump in performance that it hardly seems worth the trouble.” While it’s fast, it lags in ray tracing workloads and the $15 is viewed as offering more features. THG notes: “Overall, however, the RX 6900 XT fails to impress relative to the RX 6800 XT.
Hot Hardware and THG reach somewhat different conclusions regarding the overall performance of the card. This could change with future optimizations and patches. AMD’s newest GPUs seem to hit ~2080 Ti ray tracing levels and they offer the performance at <2080 Ti pricing, but they’re strongest against Nvidia in rasterized workloads so far. The expectation that I’ve seen, which still seems true, is that Big Navi’s ray tracing performance is better than Turing, but not as good as Ampere. With so few tests and such a lopsided optimization situation, it’s difficult to tell how things shake out. The couple of tests AMD distributed before launch of the 6900 XT favor AMD. The games already on-market (with extensive Nvidia GPU optimizations and limited AMD optimization, if any) favor Nvidia, a lot. THG writes that the RX 6900 XT “is slightly faster than the RTX 3080, and it can beat the 3090 in a few cases.” Ray tracing performance between AMD and Nvidia is currently very difficult to analyze.
