Radeon RX 6800 vs Radeon RX 6700 XT: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: Radeon RX 6800 vs Radeon RX 6700 XT
The Radeon RX 6800 is significantly faster, around 29% ahead of the Radeon RX 6700 XT. That gap is enough to move it up a tier: the Radeon RX 6800 is comfortable at 1440p, while the Radeon RX 6700 XT is better matched to 1080p. The Radeon RX 6800 packs 3,840 stream processors versus 2,560 on the Radeon RX 6700 XT. The Radeon RX 6800 also has more RT cores (60 vs 40), strengthening its ray-tracing and AI-upscaling performance.
Price & Value
The Radeon RX 6800 currently lists from $4,676 BRL, $4,314 BRL less than the Radeon RX 6700 XT at $8,990 BRL. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the Radeon RX 6800 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 148%. The Radeon RX 6800 still sits about $4,097 BRL above its $579 BRL MSRP. The Radeon RX 6700 XT still sits about $8,511 BRL above its $479 BRL MSRP.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the Radeon RX 6700 XT is the gentler choice at 230W versus 250W. The Radeon RX 6800 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 250W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The Radeon RX 6800 carries 16GB versus 12GB on the Radeon RX 6700 XT. The extra 4GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers. The Radeon RX 6800's memory is also faster — 512 GB/s versus 384 GB/s (256-bit vs 192-bit bus) — which helps feed the GPU at 4K and with heavy textures.
Which should you buy: Radeon RX 6700 XT or Radeon RX 6800?
The Radeon RX 6800 is the all-round winner here — it's faster and the better value, so buy it if it fits your budget. Only consider the Radeon RX 6700 XT if you find it at a steep discount.
