Like Nvidia's RTX 3000 line, the new cards offer 60+ fps 4K gaming, with full DirectX 12 Ultimate support, including hardware-accelerated real-time ray tracing.
RDNA2 brought enormous gen-on-gen fps gains from last generation's "little Navi" RX 5000 series—but what most people will care about is how the components compare to Nvidia's offerings, not to last generation's AMD.
AMD did not compare the RX 6800 (non-XT) with Nvidia's RTX 3070; instead, the 6800 was compared with last generation's RTX 2080Ti.
The addition of real-time hardware ray tracing brings Radeon to gaming-feature parity with Nvidia's lineup, at least on paper.
The new RDNA2 architecture also brings greater power efficiency to the Radeon lineup, with the 300W 6800 XT and 6900 XT beating out their Nvidia competitors by 20W and 50W, respectively.
On the lower end of the lineup, Nvidia takes the lead, with the 220W Nvidia RTX 3070 beating the 250W Radeon RX 6800.
The RX 6800's 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM doubles that of Nvidia's comparable RTX 3070.
Both of these AMD cards sport 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM, as well, but that's not clocked as highly as Nvidia's choice of GDDR6X VRAM (11GB of it in the RTX 3080, and 24GB in the RTX 3090).
