What Owners Say
Owners love the strong 1440p and 4K gaming performance with plenty of VRAM. The main gripes are high power draw and the card running hot under load.
- Plays modern games at high settings
- Handles ray tracing without stuttering
- Stays quiet under heavy loads
- Great value for 1440p gaming
- Ray tracing performance trails Nvidia.
- Needs a very beefy power supply.
- No support for DLSS upscaling.

Our verdict on the RX 6800 XT
A RDNA 2 flagship that plays games at high resolutions with tons of VRAM and raw raster speed, but its ray tracing is just okay.
Get it if you want high-res gaming with lots of VRAM for modern titles without paying today’s prices. Skip it if ray tracing or power efficiency matter more, since newer cards handle both better.
Buy it if…
- You want high-res gaming without paying Nvidia's tax.
- You need a fat VRAM buffer for modded texture packs.
- You're building a new rig and hate driver crashes.
