Radeon RX 6800 (XT) Sneak preview (Unboxing)
Review average of 17 websites shows 6800 XT to be 7.4% Slower than GeForce RTX 3080
It is always an interesting observation to make when our german colleagues of 3Dcenter take the results of seventeen websites and then average the benchmarks. This round, they've been comparing the RX 6800 series.
The numbers used are based on bigger and popular media like respected colleagues from Computer Base, Igor's Lab, Tom's Hardware, PC Gamer, and Guru3D. Adding up the numbers and 224 result sets from all tests carried out by the websites brings a clearer idea of a graphics card's real performance.
This allows us to compare the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 more, shall we say, normalized manner. On average, the RTX 3080 is 7.4% faster than the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT at 4K. The AMD Radeon RX 6800 is 8.1% faster than the GeForce RTX 3070. mind you that stuff like DLSS and Raytracing is not included in the results set.
The RX 6800 is 8.1% faster for $579 than the RTX 3070, which costs $ 499. The price difference is 15%, so (based on 4K) the RTX 3070 offers more value based on that metric. The RX 6800 XT costs $ 649 and performing 7.4% less than the RTX 3080, which costs $ 699. The price difference is the same 7.4%, so here that metric is a tie. The RTX cards, however, have Tensor cores and DLSS, as well as faster raytracing. On the other hand, AMD offers 16 GB of graphics memory, a huge plus, coming from the RTX 3070 with 8GB and RTX 3080 with 10GB graphics memory.

I'm missing information on what CPU they tested, is it Intel or AMD (with SAM enabled)?

Seems pretty accurate since it's for 4k, at 1440p 6800xt is clearly the stronger card though.

You're missing the point. It's purpose is to give the average difference of the gpus using results from various different configurations. However, I'd hazard a guess that the majority of sites would've used Intel in their test setups.
IMHO, SAM is only relevant to new system builders/buyers. For those of us without SAM capability the article is much more representative of the performance we can expect. Make no mistake though, SAM makes a difference and 2% is 2% in my book.

How do the two compare in price, power consumption, and availability, though?
