Rumor: Radeon RX 6000 Series as fast as a standard RTX 2080 Ti?
Alleged performance of AMD's next-generation Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards based on RDNA 2 GPU architecture allegedly has leaked. The performance is however based on the outdated AOTS (Ashes of The Singularity.
A specific GPU or graphics card is not mentioned, but based on the score, is suggested that is a Big Navi GPU or something segmented lower than Big Navi. AMD recently announced that it will introduce its Radeon RX 6000 series lineup on October 28, so based on that, we can expect several graphics cards within the lineup. The one that leaked within the benchmarks may be just one of them and not exactly the fastest variant. Currently, there is no AMD card that can perform at 2080 Ti performance levels, ergo the assumption is that this is an RDNA2 GPU at work. The card scores between 5900-6200 points at a 4K resolution using the highest quality preset. The performance was evaluated using the DirectX 11 API with a Core i9-9900K CPU (8 cores). The graphics card offers an average of around 60 FPS in the game.
Mind you that I tagged this news item as a rumor, as nobody can really identify what AMD card that really is.
The card is on par with the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, which scores 63 FPS (6100 points) at stock clocks. An RTX 3080 also was spotted in this database, scoring 98 FPS.

@Hilbert Hagedoorn in your view, how valid are the AOTS numbers for comparisons like that? Does it scale properly? I always thought it was more of a CPU/driver benchmark.

Classic fanboyism and e-peen, premium nvidia vs plebeian amd. We should really let AMD to unveil their gamma before we start drawing any conclusions.

AMD would have obviously known Nvidia will be able to beat its own products with the 3000 series. So, if AMD couldn't even clearly beat Nvidia's old product line with its new one, AMD wouldn't have ever spoken anything much about the RDNA2. They would just be released as affordable mainstream cards with little hype and exaggerations. Certainly no "revolutionise the 4k gaming" (or something) or aiming for the top once again lines like we got from AMD.
I find these leaks and rumours interesting, but I don't trust them any more than I'd trust silver water marketers during the Covid-19 situation.

Finally some common sense, I will wait and see Nvidia is pricing the 3k series low for a reason either they are going for a knockout to really nail AMD or they know what is on the Horizon, as Studios have had RDNA2 for a while to develop for consoles I would say the latter is the case

No we Don't.
400$ dollar range is the price most people are willing to spend for a video card. For the 700$ segment there isn't a problem, the few people that want to spend money at that level do not really care about price, they want max performance and they get it anyway.
I disagree with that logic at every turn. Well, if that's not the case for you - just head for the 3090.
