With the arrival of the GeForce RTX 4070, the price of some AMD Radeon RX 6000s has once again dropped. Radeon RX 6800 XT and Radeon RX 6950 XT.

Inside the Radeon RX 6000 series The Radeon RX 6800 XT ranks at a performance level similar to the GeForce RTX 3080which means that in terms of raw power, it also plays in the league of the GeForce RTX 4070, always talking about rasterization.

However, if we make a joint assessment of performance and consumption, the GeForce RTX 4070 is better because it is more efficient, works better for ray tracing and supports DLSS 3 and frame generation. The Radeon RX 6800 XT also has its advantages, offering higher performance in some rasterized games, especially 4K, and boasting more graphics memory.

With all of this in mind, it’s no wonder that the price of the Radeon RX 6800 XT has dropped to €609.99. It is very competitively priced because it costs 60 euros less than the GeForce RTX 4070and the model available at this price is built by Sapphire, a well-known and quite reliable company.

More interesting is the offer of the so-called Radeon RX 6950XT, which is still a real beast even in 4K under rasterization and which can be bought from 789.89 euros in the reference design version, which is one of the most beautiful and well-made that exists. For that money we get a graphics card that works roughly on par with the GeForce RTX 3090 in rasterization.

In my last look at the most important online stores in Spain, I was able to confirm that the GeForce RTX 30 stocks it goes down noticeably. In some stores, GeForce RTX 3080, GeForce RTX 3080 Ti and higher units are no longer available, in others their availability is very low, until the prices have inflated again.

If our goal is to be play under rasterization and we are not afraid of ray tracing, Radeon RX 6000 are without a doubt a good choicebecause in this scenario they offer very good performance and compete head-to-head with the GeForce RTX 30. To have one more reference, think that this Radeon RX 6950 XT performs in 4K and in rasterization almost at the same level. like GeForce RTX 4070 Ti.
