AMD’s approach turned out to be more successful: Radeon RX 6800 with 16 GB of memory crushes the GeForce RTX 3070 in many modern games

Published

In the past generation of video cards, AMD adapters were distinguished not only by lower prices relative to direct competitors from the GeForce camp, but also by a much larger amount of memory. It looks like it only took a couple of years for this approach to start paying off. The authors of the Hardware Unboxed channel compared the GeForce RTX 3070 with 8 GB of memory and the Radeon RX 6800 with 16 GB of memory in a number of modern games, and the comparison was not in favor of the Nvidia product.

To begin with, I need to say that if you look at the reviews of these cards at the time of release, then the RX 6800 was only 5-8% faster than the RTX 3070 at resolutions above Full HD. As you can see, in many games that have been released recently, the situation is radically different.

In The Last of Us Part I, the AMD card is 1.5 times faster than the competitor (at 1440p)! Yes, this game on PC has huge optimization problems, but the bottom line is that such results are not only in this game. In Hogward Lagacy, the 1440p difference is almost double, and the image quality on the RX 6800 is simply better. In Resident Evil 4 Remake, the difference isn’t that huge, but it’s still big. Moreover, at maximum quality on the RTX 3070, the game does not start at all. But the game is based on the RE Engine, which was released a long time ago, and has always been well optimized.

In Forspoken, the difference between the cards is already much smaller, but in a number of modes there is a huge difference in image quality. And again, not in favor of the RTX 3070.

There are a lot of games in the source video, it makes no sense to list everything, but The Callisto Protokol is also worth mentioning separately. In Ultra Quality mode, the Nvidia adapter is even slightly faster than the competitor, although the difference is small. But when ray tracing is enabled, the performance of the RTX 3070 drops seven times! As a result, the difference between the cards becomes about six times.

It is also worth noting that in some of the games listed above, when ray tracing is enabled, the performance on the RTX 3070 is equal or even slightly better than the RX 6800, but the problem is that in this mode the game on the Nvidia card suffers from various problems like stutters and microfreezes. And if you analyze just charts, it’s impossible to know.

As a result, you can see that in a huge number of modern games at maximum graphics quality settings, 8 GB of RTX 3070 memory is no longer enough. And this often manifests itself even in Full HD, not to mention 1440p.

This is how the Radeon RX 7900 GRE for 570 euros can catch up with the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super for 840 euros. Overclocking the RX 7900 GRE gives a good boost

This is how the Radeon RX 7900 GRE for 570

AMD has solved the problem with overclocking the memory of the Radeon RX 7900 GRE video card, and recent tests have shown that the adapter now looks much more attractive. Of course, for those who want to resort to overclocking.

This is how the Radeon RX 7900 GRE for 570

The authors of Hardware Unboxed took the Sapphire adapter and overclocked it to 2.7 GHz for the core and 21.2 GHz for the memory.

1711385825 952 This is how the Radeon RX 7900 GRE for 570

As you can see, the performance increase turned out to be quite good. At 1440p, the overclocked card became 12% faster relative to the reference one, and at 4K the increase was almost 17%, which is very good by modern standards.

As a result, after overclocking, the RX 7900 GRE competes with the RTX 4070 Ti at 1440p, and reaches the RTX 4070 Ti Super at 4K. At the same time, the RX 7900 GRE in Europe costs from 570 euros, the RTX 4070 Ti – from 700 euros, and the RTX 4070 Ti Super – from 840 euros. Of course, Nvidia cards can also be overclocked, but the price difference will still remain.

Just four big cores, no Hyper-Threading, and this is Intel’s new flagship. The top processor of the Lunar Lake generation appeared on the Internet

Just four big cores no Hyper Threading and this is Intels

Not only new Intel video cards, but also a new processor appeared in the SiSoftware Sandra database today. The Lunar Lake model included in the Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro is registered in the software database, revealing some of its parameters.

Just four big cores no Hyper Threading and this is Intels

The unnamed CPU contains only eight cores (four large and four small), but for Lunar Lake this is the maximum. The presence of only eight threads confirms leaks that future Intel CPUs do not support Hyper-Threading.

The processor operated at frequencies of 1.6-2.8 GHz. These are clearly far from the final frequencies, but Lunar Lake is created with an eye to maximum energy efficiency, so perhaps they will not have very high frequencies.

The CPU also has 12 MB of L3 cache and a Xe2-LPG (Battlemage) generation GPU with 4 Xe cores and a frequency of 1.85 GHz.

According to the latest roadmap, Lunar Lake is expected at the end of this year.

Such Intel processors allegedly do not exist at all but

Intel Meteor Lake processors only exist in mobile versions. Or not? The IBASE MI1002 industrial motherboard indicates that Intel is either planning or has already released Core Ultra as a desktop CPU.

Such Intel processors allegedly do not exist at all but

The board with the LGA 1851 socket is designed for Meteor Lake-PS, which Intel has not officially presented. There were rumors and leaks about such desktop CPUs, but then it became known that Intel abandoned the idea. True, there was also evidence that such processors would still be released, but not in retail, but would be available to mini-PC manufacturers. Whether such mini-PCs will appear in retail is still anyone’s guess, but in the industrial sector, as we see, yes.

As for the parameters of such CPUs, they are not yet available. Most likely, these are just mobile models in a different socket – Intel has already done this.
