The AMD Radeon RX 6800 is a good card for 1440p, but turning on ray tracing carries a big performance hit in most games I tested. If you don’t care about ray tracing, it offers better performance and more VRAM than the RTX 3070 at the same price. If you do care, the lack of a DLSS equivalent is a major drawback that might just be a deal breaker.

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 marks AMD's return to the high-end graphics card market, delivering 4K gaming performance on par with the RTX 3070. However, the lack of features, especially those around upscaling, means that ray tracing is a wash at 4K.

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 is a top-notch graphics card that delivers post 60fps gaming performance even in 4K. The only minor quibble is that, without a DLSS rival, ray tracing frame rates don't quite match the Nvidia competition.

AMD’s new Radeon RX 6800 costs as much as a PS5 or Xbox Series X (plus a game). But it can bring competent entry-level 4K performance to today’s gaming PCs, and it’s got a slight edge over Nvidia’s rival RTX 3070 despite its $80 higher cost.
