AMD’s Radeon RX 6800 XT 16GB may be relatively old but offers a solid 1440p gaming performance. You can expect roughly the same frame rates as the RX 7800 XT 12GB, with 50% more memory. Rasterization performance hasn’t changed much from RDNA 2 to RDNA 3, but ray tracing has improved by leaps and bounds, but still not enough to compete with the GeForce RTX 40 lineup. So choose wisely.

Based on the same Navi 21 die as the RX 6800 XT and 6900 XT, it offers 3,840 stream processors clocked at 2.1GHz and a 256-bit bus to handle the 16GB memory buffer.
