AMD RDNA 2 architecture
While it might have lagged in terms of PC market share, AMD s graphics division has dominated the high-end gaming console space for years now. The current and previous generations of Sony s PlayStation and Microsoft s Xbox consoles have all usedsome form of Radeon GPU, which does give AMD some advantages and insight into what capabilities gamers and game developers will be using over the next several years.
Last year s Radeon RX 5700 XT, based on the RDNA 1 architecture, was a significant improvement over its predecessors, delivering 50 percent better performance per Watt. AMD now says that RDNA 2 can achieve 54 percent better performance per Watt than even that. The RDNA2 chip on which these two GPUs are based has over 26 billion transistors, though each GPU model uses different amounts of these resources.
It s time for a GPU shootout to see how the GeForce RTX 3070 and Radeon RX 6800 compare by benchmarking them head to head in 41 games. That s ton of games to be tested and more than twice what we included in our day one review for both graphics cards.
As things stand today, availability for new GeForce and Radeon GPUs is not great though we are starting to see things improve for the RTX 3070 in particular, as we ve found a few models in stock as of writing. The hope is that early next year availability for both the RTX 3070, RX 6800 and other next-gen GPUs will improve to the point where both will be relatively easy to purchase.
