Eager to show where the Radeon RX 6000 series stands among the competition, AMD has released further benchmarks for the RX 6900 XT and RX 6800 XT.
Both graphics cards were tested alongside an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X to demonstrate how well the combo performs, along with 16GB DDR4-3200MHz RAM. Obviously AMD was never going to release benchmarks that would make any of the 6000 series appear weak against all things GeForce and that has certainly been the case here.
For example, when comparing the FPS of Call of Duty Modern Warfare played at 3840×2160 in Ultra, the Radeon RX 6900XT achieved around 100 FPS while the GeForce RTX 3090 only managed around 90. Not particularly prominent difference perhaps, but It certainly matters when the Radeon RX 6900XT is much cheaper than the GeForce RTX 3090. 
Other games tested included Battlefield V at 3840×2160 and also in Ultra settings. Both the Radeon RX 6900XT and Radeon RX6800XT outperformed the FPS of the GeForce RTX 3090 and RTX 3080 Founders Edition.
Furthermore, the Radeon RX 6800 beat out the competition from the GeForce RTX 2080Ti Founders Edition as well. It’s not a clean sweep, gaming wise, with Doom Eternal and Shadow of the Tomb Raider achieving superior results with the GeForce RTX 3090, but it’s a much closer battle than Nvidia would like.
Of course, this depends on pairing an RX6900XT card with a Ryzen 9 5900X which we know is destined to work better together anyway. AMD claims that the Ryzen 9 5900X is faster in games than the Intel Core i9-10900K and that will be even more noticeable when the GPU uses AMD’s intelligent access memory system. And, of course, these will be the best results AMD could ever get. Ultimately, independent benchmarks will be the key to knowing what to buy. Still, they are very promising despite those caveats.
Whatever your opinion, the graphics card wars are escalating and competition is always a good thing for the consumer.
