AMD's launch of its new Radeon RX 6000 Series GPUs, the company's Radeon RX 6800 XT ($649) finds itself in the unenviable position of diving into shark-infested waters. With its sights set squarely on Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3080 Founders Edition, AMD has set the goal for itself of remaining competitive with all takers; Intel on the CPU side, and Nvidia on GPUs. While AMD's CPU division has pummeled Intel over the past year and a half, its graphics card arm still finds itself on defense versus Nvidia. And that narrative doesn't change much with the Radeon RX 6800 XT (dubbed during its development "Big Navi"). At times, it's the fastest GPU we've tested to date in its price range. At others, it returns inconsistent results across some modern AAA titles, legacy AAA games, and synthetic benchmarks.
At $50 less than the GeForce RTX 3080 Founders Edition, the Radeon RX 6800 XT does present an enticing value proposition—and, unlike, the latest GeForce RTX "Ampere" cards, may prove to be made of something other than unobtainium. (Maybe you'll be able to buy one in the hours after its launch, or maybe not?) But the early drivers and firmware behind it, in its launch state, make us withhold our seal of approval. With substantial overclocking headroom and plenty of new features to show off, the Radeon RX 6800 XT holds a lot of promise. But until its drivers can regularly deliver on that potential, early adopters might want to hold off.
