first 4K benchmarks, it buries the GeForce RTX 3090

The Radeon RX 6800 XT, one of the new AMD Big Navi benchmarks, has been tested on the AoTs game, or Ashes of the Singularity. The results reflect a clear lead for the AMD GPU in 4K over its most ambitious competitor, namely the GeForce RTX 3090 from Nvidia.

After unveiling the AMD Ryzen 5000 Zen 3 at the beginning of October, AMD recently gave another online conference, this time dedicated to its new graphics cards and direct competitors of the GeForce RTX 3000: the AMD RX 6800, 6800 XT and 6900 XT . The first two arrive on the market on November 18, 2020, while it will be necessary to wait until December 8, 2020 to get their hands on an RX 6900 XT.

In the meantime, the first benchmarks of these GPUs fuse on the web since their official presentation. In early November, AMD also unveiled 10 official benchmarks on 10 games, in 4K and 1440p definition. The least that can be said is that the results bode well for the best, with performance significantly superior to the competition in almost all situations.

However, this new 4K benchmark was carried out on Ashes of the Singularity, one of the first DirectX 12 compatible games. Suffice to say that it does not upset the established order, and confirms the power of these new GPUs, and in particular that of the Radeon RX 6800 XT. So, the RX 6800 XT posts a score of 9200 points against 8700 points for the RTX GeForce 3090.

With a notable difference of 400 points, AMD offers itself a considerable lead over its rival. For those who are wondering, the tests were performed with the same CPU, a Intel Core i7-8700k. Regarding the 1080p benchmarks, the platform chose to test the RTX 3090 on a GPU AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, which is more indicative of actual graphics performance.

In 4K and above, the CPU load is reduced and the GPU becomes the main one bottleneck or bottleneck in the output frames. In 1080p, the main bottleneck is the CPU. Therefore, the lower the resolution, the greater the differences between GPUs, as the CPU bottleneck is quickly removed.

Here we can see that the RTX 3090 and the RTX 3080 both beat the Radeon RX 6800 XT with respectively 10,700 and 10,300 points against 10,100. The RTX 3070 finds itself far behind with 9,000 points on the clock. This benchmark would be more revealing of the overall performance of the cards, since the dependence on the CPU is less.
