AMD RX 9070 GRE vs AMD RX 6800 XT

How much faster one is than the other, and the resolution at which that difference turns into real frames. Reference: AMD Ryzen 9 7900, 32 GB of RAM.

SHORT ANSWER

The AMD RX 9070 GRE is 5% faster than the AMD RX 6800 XT on paper, but paired with an AMD Ryzen 9 7900 it delivers no extra frames at all until 2560x1440. Below that resolution the processor caps both cards equally and you would be overpaying.

WHERE IT STARTS MATTERING

Real-world advantage of the AMD RX 9070 GRE over the AMD RX 6800 XT at each resolution, paired with an AMD Ryzen 9 7900. At low resolution the processor caps both cards equally, so the faster one delivers nothing extra until the load moves onto the graphics card.

HOW THIS IS CALCULATED

The per-game frame rates are the ceiling each card sustains on its own at that resolution, with no processor limiting it. The resolution table does include the processor, because that is where you see whether the difference reaches you.

Native resolution, no upscaling and no frame generation. Measured model error · Methodology
