AMD Radeon RX 6800XT is 3% faster than NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 in 3DMark Firestrike Ultra

Less than 24 hours after CapFrameX shared performance data for an unknown AMD graphics card, the development team followed up on Twitter with another update:

According to the leaked data, the Radeon RX 6800 XT scored 12,800 points in the 3DMark Fire Strike Ultra benchmark, beating Nvidia's flagship GeForce RTX 3090, which scores around 12,400 points. What's more, the RX 6800 XT isn't even the top-of-the-line model, as the flagship spot belongs to the upcoming Radeon RX 6900 XT. As for its performance, the team at CapFrameX expects it to hit an incredible 14,000 points in the same benchmark.

If these predictions hold up, we could see something we haven't witnessed in nearly a decade: AMD's flagship single-GPU card beating Nvidia's top tier. Still, this scenario seems highly unlikely. At this level of competition, industrial espionage is par for the course. Given that Jensen Huang greenlit such a massive price tag for the RTX 3090, it is highly probable that the RX 6900 XT's performance figures didn't particularly worry the head of the Green Team.

Of course, this is all speculation and early rumors. We will find out the real story very soon, as AMD is set to officially unveil the Radeon RX 6000 series on October 28.
