Worse still, we currently don't know when it's going to be available either. Instead, AMD are still working on their answer to DLSS, leaving the RX 6800 XT at a severe disadvantage compared to its RTX competition. For while Nvidia's RTX cards increasingly have their sophisticated DLSS technology to fall back on to help bump up the frame rate to an acceptable level when ray tracing is enabled, AMD have nothing at all. However, I suspect my conclusions will be largely the same. Game / Boost Clock Speed: 2015MHz / 2250MHzĪt the moment, I've only been able to test AMD's more expensive RX 6800 XT so far, so I'll have to reserve judgement on the regular RX 6800's ray tracing performance until a later date.However, despite coming out strong with their Ryzen 5000 CPUs, I can't help but feel like AMD's first batch of Big Navi cards could have done with a little more time in the oven, especially when it comes to that increasingly important graphics battleground of 2020: ray tracing. Utilising AMD's new RDNA 2 architecture, the RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT are both aiming for Nvidia's equally new RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 GPUs, offering 4K 60fps performance in today's biggest blockbuster games, and well in excess in that at 1440p and below to make the most of the ever-swelling ranks of high refresh rate displays. AMD have been on a real winning streak this month with the recent launch of their Ryzen 5000 CPUs, and now they're hoping to follow it up with the launch of their first set of ray tracing-enabled Big Navi graphics cards, the Radeon RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT.
