GeForce RTX 3090 vs Radeon RX 6700 XT: In-Depth Breakdown
Performance: GeForce RTX 3090 vs Radeon RX 6700 XT
The GeForce RTX 3090 is dramatically faster, around 58% ahead of the Radeon RX 6700 XT. Both cards sit in the same broad class, well suited to 1440p.
Price & Value
The Radeon RX 6700 XT currently lists from $869 GBP, $351 GBP less than the GeForce RTX 3090 at $1,219 GBP. Because it's both faster and competitively priced, the GeForce RTX 3090 wins on performance-per-dollar by about 12%. The Radeon RX 6700 XT still sits about $390 GBP above its $479 GBP MSRP. The GeForce RTX 3090 is trading below its $1,499 GBP MSRP — a genuine deal.
Power & Efficiency
On power, the Radeon RX 6700 XT is the gentler choice at 230W versus 350W. The GeForce RTX 3090 is more efficient per watt because it's faster, but its higher 350W draw means more heat and a bigger PSU.
VRAM & Future-Proofing
The GeForce RTX 3090 carries 24GB versus 12GB on the Radeon RX 6700 XT. The extra 12GB helps at 4K, with high-resolution texture packs, and for content-creation or local-AI workloads that exhaust smaller buffers.
Features & Ecosystem
Beyond raw numbers, the GeForce RTX 3090 brings NVIDIA DLSS upscaling/frame generation and stronger ray tracing, while the Radeon RX 6700 XT offers AMD FSR upscaling and strong rasterization value. If you lean on upscaling or ray tracing, that ecosystem difference can matter as much as the frame-rate gap.
Which should you buy: GeForce RTX 3090 or Radeon RX 6700 XT?
The GeForce RTX 3090 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.
