What Owners Say
Owners love the huge VRAM for high-res gaming and say it runs cool and quiet. The usual gripe is ray tracing performance lags behind Nvidia, and driver issues can pop up.
- Plays modern games at high settings
- Stays cool under heavy load
- Handles ray tracing without stutter
- Great for 1440p gaming monitors
- Ray tracing performance is weak
- No DLSS competitor available
- Drivers can be finicky sometimes

Our verdict on the RX 6800
The RX 6800 is a capable 1440p card with generous memory, but its ray tracing performance lags behind Nvidia’s equivalents.
Get it if you want high-resolution gaming with plenty of video memory for modern titles without paying a premium. Skip it if you need the latest ray tracing features or prefer lower power draw from a newer architecture.
Buy it if…
- You play at high resolutions and need the video memory to match.
- You want great raster performance without paying for ray tracing.
- You are building a new PC and find a good deal on a previous generation card.
