6800XT Vs. RTX 3080 Image Quality Comparison at 4K 60FPS

In the market for a 6800 XT or RTX 3080? Wondering if there a difference between image quality? What about the encoder quality? Well today we do a 4k 60 FPS comparison between the two with some commentary, so feast your eyes. I also noticed one benchmark is pulling an apples to oranges comparison, which means it will be scrapped from further upcoming benchmarks.

Ah but there is no comparison to a Tech YES Loved GPU pulled out of a scrapyard.

At 2:07
Brian: the image is looking identical to my eyes (in 4k)
Me: Ah yes totally agree (in 480p)

It differently looks like the benchmark has time of day different each run. Meaning it could be morning, noon, or evening time each run making the shadows and texture darkness different.

Instructions unclear. Hit like button instead.

I haven't seen this analysis anywhere else but here. All other reviews have focused on FPS or similar performance elements. Great job, as usual.

Dirt 5 has a day/night cycle. Is it (partly)responsible for the disparity?

[starminer]

I have been waiting for a review on this, Thankyou for your hard work testing for us.

Great video you & Steve over at Gamer's Nexus are the only reviewers I really appreciate I get the most information out of you two and I actually learned how to build a computer from one of your videos back in the day

Thank you for this. I've been looking at a lot of comparison videos between the 6800XT and 3080, but almost all of them are devoted to frame rates. The frame rates are quite high for both cards and image quality will probably be a more important factor (right after availability and price). Yours is the only video I've seen that focuses on image quality.

Averaging out benchmarks still gives a more realistic number for consumers who only play once, as there are many, many people playing and all essentially getting random variation on their one play-through. Averaging is a good tool to even out outliers. Bloatware should never be present in benchmark systems and they should always be checked to run decently anyway.

Looks like dynamic weather in dirt5. Clouds are different.

Tooo awesome I am totally gonna get a 60hz freesync 4k lg 32 inch monitor for Christmas. For when I can get a 6800XT next Spring. Love this generation of gaming tech. :D

Is Preferable to run 3 times the benchmark than just once. Why? Because it will give us the whole image and what truly these GPU can do. Ok, you are indeed true with the 1 run time for the player but a lot can happen in 1 run/benchmark, a fail, something goes wrong and etc. So, multiple repeats of the benchmark help you to avoid these things while a single benchmark simulates better what the player might see.
Either way, keep the good job going. My opinion is to keep what you doing but still report if you see a fail or something like that in a benchmark but I think you are doing this already too.

To my eyes though, the Nvidia card seemed to show more detail sometimes and a little sharper. There is a slight difference in color tone too if you look back at Tomb Raider. Lara's skin tone and tree branches.

Great video! Informative and fair criticism mate, cheers. Liked ans subbed keep em coming

[starshepherd]

Haven't been around since 2016, ur whole production is just on another level now, good shit

[sergiogonzalez]

kjeep the great work man, great content

[mickh]

Could we please get some testing of the new smart access memory function AMD were talking about when combining the new 6000 series cards with the zen 3 processors? Keen to see if there are any productivity gains to be had from an all red system as opposed to zen3 + 3080?

[ryanmaynard]

I found this video very interesting and informative! great job!

[Lexslayerpride]

Hey mate,

Looking at the nvidia card in dirt there isnt shadows for someone of the things above (looks like ropes) almost looks like it's a different day mode?
