AMD has publicly shown off the graphical firepower of the Radeon RX 6000 series, but a leaked benchmark has revealed how the RX 6800 could beat the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070.

The leak claims to prove the RX 6800 evangelize a score of 16,775 in the 3DMark TimeSpy benchmark, and comes courtesy of a Twitter user called PJ, who's an editor and tester at PC-centric publication Uniko's Hardware. We don't know much well-nigh the leaker, so we'll take to take this with a pinch of common salt, but according to TechRadar the score beats the RTX 3070 by a healthy 23% margin.

In tests conducted by the likes of HotHardware and Guru3D, the RTX 3070 delivered a corresponding TimeSpy score of 12,864 and thirteen,622, showing that the Radeon RX 6800 outperforms it, in a synthetic benchmark at least.

In the leak, the RX 6800 was tested in a machine with an AMD Ryzen 5 3500X, a reasonably powerful current-generation processor. It's unclear how much of an result this might accept on the benchmark results, and we've still to come across benchmarks with an RDNA 2-based Radeon GPU paired with an Intel processor.

Nevertheless, this all the same shows that the $549 Radeon RX 6800 could exist quite the powerhouse graphics card, even though the likes of the Radeon RX 6900 XT, aka Big Navi, and the Radeon RX 6800 XT take stolen the limelight.

Yet at $499, the GeForce RTX 3070 undercuts the Radeon RX 6800, something that's a footling unusual in the AMD vs Nvidia graphics battle; on the higher-cease, AMD's GPUs are noticeably cheaper than Nvidia'due south. And we've yet to see AMD pit its new Radeon RX 6000 cards against the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3000-series in ray-tracing tests, every bit that's where Team Green's GPUs might beat Team Crimson's cards.

This is an interesting time for PC graphics, every bit anyone planning to brand a new gaming PC at present has a selection of powerful and compelling graphics cards to choose from. And this renewed competition should run across more competitive graphics cards get released from both AMD and Nvidia.
