Manufacturer versions

Board specifications and benchmark results are specific to each version.

All models based on this GPU

Blender Open Data

Official median of community submissions; higher is better. Blender versions, operating systems and compute backends remain separate.

Snapshot date is the retrieval date, not the measurement date. Individual dates, RAM, drivers and power limits are unknown. This aggregates different user systems; it is not a test of a specific partner board and is excluded from the legacy composite index.

Benchmarks

Performance tests GPU

Compare the scores of popular benchmarks AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT with other graphics cards to understand the real speed of the GPU when processing content.

Tests include working with floating point, creating 3D models, mining cryptocurrencies.

These are saved results from the earlier catalog. Measurement dates and test configurations were not recorded. Models with no comparable results are omitted.

Recent models: test results with identified primary sources — Game frame rates

FP32 Performance (Single-precision TFLOPS)
Benchmark FP32 is a 32-bit floating point calculation for the GPU which is required for 3D gaming

Higher values are better in this metric.

3DMark Benchmark
3DMark is designed for gamers, overclockers and system builders who want to get the most out of their hardware

Higher values are better in this metric.

Battlefield 5
Battlefield 5 is a realistic game, with a built-in benchmark, very suitable as a test for graphics cards

Higher values are better in this metric.

Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Shadow of the Tomb Raider has a built-in benchmark, based on the Crystal Dynamics Foundation engine

Higher values are better in this metric.

Crypto-Mining Ethereum Hashrate (MH/s)
Ethash is an algorithm for mining Ethereum cryptocurrency that makes the most of the GPU

Higher values are better in this metric.

Crypto-Mining Ergo Hashrate (MH/s)
The Autolykos algorithm, on which Ergo cryptocurrency is based, allows not only modern GPUs to be used for mining, but also the past generation of GPUs

Higher values are better in this metric.

Crypto-Mining Ravencoin Hashrate (MH/s)
Hashrate mining Ravencoin cryptocurrency on the KawPoW algorithm is fastest on modern video cards

Higher values are better in this metric.

Crypto-Mining Vertcoin Hashrate (MH/s)
VertCoin cryptocurrency can be mined on both Nvidia and AMD and is interesting because it mines perfectly on old GPUs like GTX1050, R9 290 and even GTX970

Higher values are better in this metric.
