- The RX 6800 XT and RX 6800 review with benchmarks including Smart Access Memory, ray tracing and Rage Mode is here. In this video we'll discuss RX 6800 XT 16GB and RX 6800 16GB availability, pricing and also cover things like power consumption, temperatures and yes even coil whine. But what most people want to know is how the battles of RX 6800 XT vs RTX 3080 and RX 6800 vs RTX 3070 in gaming stack up. Is the RX 6800 series the best GPUs right now in 2020? Well that depends how you look at it.

So about the coil whine guys. Like we said in the video, it could be sample to sample variance, not everyone would experience it to that degree AND its most apparent in high framerate situations. We made sure full context was given. But also remember reviewer cards are thoroughly tested by AMD before leaving their facility. In addition, it isn't something we could just overlook and not report.
Welcome to YT you say? Another clickbait attempt, pathetically as usual. Listen "dawg" I´m older than both of you and I´ve been longer on YT and before either one of you even dreamt of becoming a content creator. Also I am following Dimitry and your channel from the very beginning because I like the content, that is why I can stand 100% behind my statement that you were known(and still are occasionally) for clickbaits. So instead getting salty and childish without knowing me or my background and "welcoming me to YT" how about you take the critics for once and do something with it? Just a suggestion....UFD Tech also claims he never puts clickbait titles, shall we ask the audience if that corresponds to the truth? Keep doin your thing, I´ll be around as usual since, as already mentioned, I like the content. Just cut down on the clickbait. Easy, amirite? :)
We do you work with the "suggested retail price" anyway? Its just wishful thinking.
Please stick to the real prices.
@@Dobrinja1921 Who are you even arguing with?
@@Dobrinja1921 Is this some new copy pasta I haven't seen yet?
I'm experiencing some pretty noticible coil whine on my 6800xt. Waited outside microcenter 20 hours early for it, but I'm not too bothered cause imma slap a waterblock on it anyways
Oh wow, the colors in this video are gorgeous
Very high and good production quality
These guys have the crispiest and luxurious videos in the tech review scene...That Cozy Canadian vibe.
IKR, these folks always have top-notch production quality
They always are for these guys, my bet is they use davinci resolve for color grading, apart from good production of course.
Oz - heck son, you need to go out and get laid ;)
"dont worry dimitri is here"
i mean as a guy who's been following this channel since dimitri is alone... i used to see him more than eber... dont get me wrong i love eber but it's just funny how we see eber like 70% more than dimitri 😅
I was thinking the same thing - that it was nice to see Dimitri for a change :)
That's because Eber is amazing
Have no fear, Vlad is here!
Bang! - you're dead Max Payne
@Clorox Tree I like Dimitri better.
@Clorox Tree that's funny because I actually prefer Dimitri's voice and accent over Eber's, and that's coming from a fellow Canadian
I want to see "have no fear Demitri's here" on a t-shirt!
2020 GPUs in a nutshell: Benchmarks don't matter, all cards are both priced way above MSRP and sold out at the same time.
GPUs 2021 There are a few in stock but the companies were offended to miss out on the higher pricing, so now the cards they make are just as pricey as scalper cards. The only difference is now they have the typical return warranties… as if anyone is going to return these rare cards
its good to see you back Chris Pra- i mean Dimitri
Chris Pratt - RTX OFF
Just managed to snag a 6800 here in Sweden. Looking forward to that since I'm coming from a gtx 970!
So at least one person here who won't be mad at reviewers for stealing all the cards :)
Update: Some of the people that had confirmed orders had them cancelled afterwards. I was lucky enough to have a card allocated with my order, so happy about that! However, the retailer hasn't actually received any cards from AMD yet, and they'll only receive about 100 or so. I will get my card in 1-3 weeks. Not a big deal, but obviously the release is rushed - since not even retailers have the, very limited amount of, cards in stock yet.
At which site did u order?
How were the prices there? Here in Germany sellers are pulling a total shitfest on us customers. Almost 30% more expensive than advertised.
@@PaladinJenkis At webhallen 6800xt goes for 7990sek which is around 780 euros
@@bubonicrider8021 Well the US price of 649 dollar is pre tax, if you take a 9% Tax (Washington) then you'll end up at roughly 707 dollars which is basically 594 euro. In Germany they ask 820 EUR for that card, which is inacceptable. I would ditch the card if it were in stock for the 780 of what you paid. I'll wait till supply and demand normalizes or skip the generation entirely. I still have no issues with a 1080ti so I am not in a rush.
Nonetheless, german retailers are total scumbags.
@@PaladinJenkis We're always 25ish% above msrp here, so nothing new. Payed about €630. The RTX 3070 sells for between €590 and €690, soo.. not cheap either. Even if you could get one.
Great job on the lighting on the b-rolls!!! Love it! :) Thanks for the review!
How does the cards perform in a production workload like Resolve and Aftereffects? Does the 16GB of VRAM offer more flexibility than the 8GB and 10 GB from Nvidia?
People in the queue to trying to buy these: RAGE MODE
Did you go on every page putting out videos to add this same stupid comment?
Nice! :)
@@Poke_Devin burn
Literally every video about these cards has the same unfunny comments
@@DTG4844 cuz the fanboys have no humor sense lol
Delivered on promises of performance, now they just need to deliver...
I see what you did there lol. I cant wait to get mines.
@Melburn Sir you have no ideal how fucking wrong you are bro
I mean, let's just hope they don't pull and nvidia and still have 0 stock 2 months after release.
@Melburn Sir Yep, when they releas a 40 CU version of this architecture probably in the low 200 dollar price range, it's going to be a massive hit.
Four months later and still an issue 🥺
Rage mode is enabled for people trying to buy the cards.
What a shit show
I've seen this exact comment copy-pasted on so many videos
@@duckie6677 to be fair amd kinda walked right into that one.
@@theorangecarousel481 To be fair who are you replying to? OP? This dude is copy pasting this comment on multiple videos right now just looking for some attention. Pretty lame to be fair. :/

Clear & Concise review! Thanks.
Best roundup I've heard.
Well done Dimitri, looking forward for your review on the new Silence Base 802.
...and please keep up with great content like this
I really think the reason AMD went 16gb on all 3 cards is because they're anticipating the future. Everybody is talking about how Smart Access Memory barely makes a difference and then kind of writing it off.
What a lot of people aren't considering is that this functionality is one of the core features of both the PS5 and the Xbox Series X. The other thing people aren't thinking about is that NONE of the games out on the market have been designed to leverage this technology.
In the next one or more years as games are being co developed for the consoles and the PC, I anticipate we are going to start seeing some games come out that you will see some much more serious and consistent performance uplifts from SAM.
VRAM is significantly faster than system memory, and having such a large GPU memory pool means that if the game is only using let's say 7 or 8gb, the CPU can then leverage that remaining memory for other functionality in lieu of the system RAM.
Anyways, I could be utterly wrong, and perhaps AMD is sort of pulling an Nvidia RTX here and putting this tech out there early to sort of incentivize the industry to start developing software that utilizes it and they all basically ignore it, but I really don't think so. I think the incentive to have an all AMD system is just a proximite benefit and not the ultimate reason, and AMD's marketing is just leveraging that as a side bonus.
You were right
6:16 the sound of my Nightmares
Nice video; i the first video that i see when you can hear the Coilwhine!
Never heard anything about coil whine with nvidia cards. My last AMD card got sent back because of the whine. I'm not putting up with any of that crap.
@@terryd8692 i had and Nvidia 2080 super and now Rtx 2060; both have Coilwhine and its really terrible
@@terryd8692 talk to more people. I've lucked out thankfully and have yet to buy a card with coil whine.
@@terryd8692 nobody else cards have that
@@chriswright8074 You'd think that they'd test the cards they send out to these massive youtubers
Now, let's talk about the cards availability
Lasted a second, just like Nvidia. Very disappointing.
Uk sites dont even have listing pages... Then scans and overclockers sites both just stopped working at 2:00
Weird launch.
@@ge2719 Nothing at 2pm for me for at least 5 minutes, then they were listed but none available to buy.
@@ge2719 Overclockers have AIB boards listed saying they're available on 25th nov for pre order. So what happened to the non AIB ones?
@@terryd8692 yeah. Some sites are starting to list one or two. But no way to buy.
Plus i read multiple sites saying £500 for the 6800 xt, which did seem too low to be true. But they're more like £700... :/
Even the 6800 is being listed at over £500.
the coil whine must be a malfunction and not the norm.
Thats what im thinking, this is like the only review where its mentioned lol
Yeah, i think so too.
Well yeah, but the fact that such an annoying malfunction was allowed to leave AMD is the problem here.
The coil is working properly, you are just hearing it do its job. They should of impregnated the inductor with a wax or enamel to stop movement within the coil.
@@MrNekyno is it that, prevalent?
You know my day was going pretty well but seeing Dimitri return really made it. Love you man, welcome back!
What an awesome video per usual! Color editing is AMAZING! I love what AMD has done but I think they need to drop the RX 6800 price by like $50.
I started watching this channel when Dimitri did like all of the videos so I'm glad to get a video with him starring
Reviewing cases? (:
The coil whine is like screaming alien. LMAO.
Yea no damn way I could sit in the same room with that thing
Sounds like a baby crying
I would of paid $50 for AMD to make a better shroud.
E.T.
@@basshead. Oh it’s you again
Great review, thank you 👏🔥
Great work! Thanks for including Call of Duty in your review. I know that ones a pain to benchmark.
I've ordered one of these with the 5000 series ryzen 7 cpu but I'm not sure if I need a pc like that. How much would I need to spend to get a good gaming pc?
Bravo on bringing attention to coil whine! I've watched about 10 videos and none mentioned it!
Finally Dmitry! With all due respect, i am subscribed for you mate
7:56 I'm confused... they had hotspot temp with the 5700 cards and a 110C cap too?
yes
Thanks for this review! If you had made these benchmarks also with 1080p resolution (especially interested in the esports games) this review would have been perfect! I would appreciate if you could test these cards also with 1080p resolutions.
Your b-roll is godly as always. Thank you.
Awesome review. You really should add Digital Combat Simulator to your tests by the way, I wouldn't be surprised if you finally find a game that maxes out both the video memory and RAM :D
What a video, very nice SAM background explanation, Dimitri for the win
*Meanwhile in Norway:*
- 6800 XT released for $941
- 6800 released for $841
- 3080 released for $886
- 3070 released for $709
I can't see any reason why people would go for AMD here other than the shortages. Insane. Why wouldn't I just try and scalp my 6800 XT? And if it doesn't work just return it and wait for my cheaper and better 3080 expected next year, lmao! Is it the same elsewhere in the world?
Nice card. I go for the RX 6800 non XT, since my 550W PSU is a little bit undersized for the XT Variant. Think it will be enough for the non XT though :)
(Pared with Ryzen 3700X)
I got a Ryzen 7 3700x too but I'm still confused either RX 6800 or RTX 3070, I'm only gaming at 1440p hmm
Wow great review! And this explains the PS5’s coil whine issues since it is also RDNA 2 based.
Been watchin you since forever and suddenly Eber come into the scene. Had no fear at all.
I am not surprised by the results. AMD has been on a success train for several years now. Everyone will praise them till they begin to fall behind again. As an AMD fan I have stuck to their GPU lineup since 2010. I did use nVidia's GPU lineup for a short stay but always knew AMD had the better options for me. I hope we get support for these new NAVI cards in Mac OS XI soon. (:
Good video D'Mitry and I hope Ebert and Michael are okay. :(
Hey Dimitri thanks for the great vid. All of your content has such a good energy as well as great content. As for the Red vs. Green comparison, I live in Czechia and the prices are set hugely in favor of AMD. The green team has its products waaay above the MSRP (e.g. 3070 costs more around 700 USD) and they are not available whilst AMD really stuck to the MSRP across various retailers. I managed to purchase both the 6800XT and the Ryzen 5 5600X so I am super pleased and cannot wait to test them out. Anyway what I wanted to say is that the cost per frame is totally in favor of AMD since NVidia is selling about 50% above the MSRP. Cheers and keep up the great work! :)
UPDATE a few hours later: The retailer has just informed me they cannot deliver the card as they ran out of stock. Scalpers have bought a good deal of the offering and are now selling it with a 50% uplift.
yeah.. color grading here is perfect.. especially because i am on a calibrated display.. however thanks to this guys because till now they're the only one showing us how bad coil is on this card.. especially for me eventually mounting it with a waterblock...
6:30 In the year 2069 when you cut off an alien and he rolls down his spaceship window and curses you out in Martian:

Legit question: Can you use the USB-port on GPUs to feed a monitor normally? I mean, I know you'd need an adapter, but there are some monitors that have USB-C connectors for display as well, so does that work or is it VR-devices only?
Me: Yes...give me a 6800 please
Every retailer on the planet: 0.00005ms after launch - "Out of Stock" message posts :-/
But can coil whine damage your card or other components in the PC? Or is it just being noisy and annoying but wont harm anything? I have a card with coil whine.
This video was gorgeous! Anyone know the intro and backing track title?
What's the name of the monitor at your rear
They definitely are on par with Nvidia regarding supply.
If anyone can help if you put you 6800xt on rage mode and keep it on for a long time will it effect the temp bye a lot like will it lose performance or anything bad please help?!
It's a good review, but why no overclocking benchmarks? One of the things I was most looking forward to besides the SAM feature was the overclocking performance. Many leaks indicated a good amount of room for overclocking. Will you do another video comparing overclocks to the benchmarks you've already done?
Good to see you back Dimitri.
How do you get multithreaded rendering enabled in valorant. Got a 5950x and 3090 not seeing that fps...not that it really matters
Hey Dimitri, where can i get this awesome sw wallpaper? 😄👋
Now I want to know what the 6900XT can do. If that matches a 3090 (I think it will beat it honestly, except for RT), then Nvidia really has to consider bringing the price down a few notches. It is so good to finally have competition in both sectors again. Now we can all revive the 290/390 vs 970/980 flame wars again.
6:17 IDK, but honestly i love this sound LOL!, hope in the future my Card will song like a jet, DK why people hate it...
No 1080P Competitive Setting Comparisons? I loved that about your RTX3080 Review.
As far as us regular consumers are concerned, they didn't do shit unless we can actually buy one.
@Graham J Well I woke up an hour before launch, had 6 tabs open with my credit card info saved into each site. Literally went to each tab and pressed f5, they would either not load, and then immediately be out of stock. Or just be out of stock. I never once even saw an add to cart option. They allowed people to get them for about 30 seconds, so that is "something".
@Rodrigo Tassara In mine they are, have been, and will be. Already 6800xt's on ebay for 1500+, same with 30.
Literally stayed up all night, when it hits 8 AM CST listings were five minutes late, and then when they were posted stock went out. Literally seconds and it's all gone. Wtf bro 😞
Get a Nvidia GPU.
Hello Dimitri, can you please make a comment telling the viewers that Smart Acess Memory might no longer be AMD exclusive as NVidia came up with a direct counter please? Just to keep most people updated and also, good video 👌🏽
I got one off the AMD website, after pressing F5 for 30 minutes straight. Damn scalpers
Same .. every other site went down :D
Same lol. At 15:24 that pesky error 503 finally sent away
Congrats, you are one of the lucky ones. Gives the rest of us some hope! LOL
@@Kallan007 After not getting a 3080, nor an 5900X ... atleast i got smth 😂
Lucky :( I got to the final checkout page TWICE, but never got all the way through. :( I was spamming refresh on several sites all morning and no luck. :( I did get a Ryzen 5800x though (too bad my GPU is a gtx 1080 tho LOL)
Loving my 3080, but I'm very excited that AMD is finally able to compete with nVidia. We need goid competition in the gpu market. Maybe in a couple if generations AMD can actually convince me to buy from them
Please tell me about that watch at the start.
It's about time if I had the cash I would certainly take a look, this is why it's better to wait. There is one thing though knowing how this normally works the RX 5000 range surely they'll be updated to the 6000 range, of course with out the ray tracing. One note when you did this review were the newer drivers available as they my offer a performance boost?
You should think about reviewing the HyperX Quadcast S :)
Did you change your monitor Dimitri? Is that the new CM monitor? :D
I was just going to skip to the benchmarks, but Dmitri doing this review is rare air. I'm gonna watch the WHOLE thing
I'm more interested to see the comparison of 6800XT vs 3080 in production workloads, like Blender, Aftereffects, PremierPro, etc. Does 16GB of extra memory in AMD makes any difference to opt AMD over Nvidia for content creators?
As always, an amazing review. Now that amd has positioned it self at the end of graphic card. Can you make a video of how to stream or record your gameplays on AMD and how it affects performance against nvidia. I used to record my gameplays on nvidia and then upload them to TH-cam. So, before move to amd, will be nice to know how to do it and how much performance is lost
That coil whine sounds like a bag of angry mice!
what brand was it? (asus, sapphire, gigabyte, etc, etc)
These are excellent cards. And I can't wait to test the 6900XT
I have watched 4 reviews so far and yours was the only one that mentioned coil wine. Are you sure it's not just a problem with your review sample?
It 100% is a bad card...it happens

Question: Should i just buy a 5700 xt or wait for a few months to see if there are any 6800's available somewhere? But then if they are available they will probably be outrageously expensive.

hi how can i replace on factory rx 6800 xt that special thermal pad which is on the chip instead of thermal paste? I mean is there space to use therma paste or where can i get that special japanesse thermal pad on chip?
Can the pad be removed? If so you can spread the GPU with paste all over.
Which cpu is being used for each gpu ?
It’s very impressive all things considered.
6800XT vs 3080 Pros:
Less power consumption
More compact design
Around the same level of noise
Great thermals (especially for the clock speeds being achieved)
More Vram for future proofing
SAM?
Better 1440p performance (within error of margin through).
6800XT vs 3080 Cons:
Less Ray tracing performance (for those who care).
A worse encoder for streamers and capturing gameplay.
No DLSS alternative (although one is coming soon).
Generally 5% slower at 4K (but that’s within error of margin and not noticeable to the average person with specialized testing software).
You need to call an exorcist to tame that demon inside your card, lol.
What about AI-Benchmark? How does it compares in Tensorflow and NAMD Performance vs Nvidia?
That capacitor layout behind the GPU die is so beautiful!
18:10 Would the 6800 be considered a buy if one compared it when over clocked? I saw some really impressive numbers by KiGuruTech where the 6800 was getting an increased clock speed resulting in a 9% increase in FPS.
10 days ago I bought an Asus Strix oc RTX 3070 for 900 euros... April 1st I was able to buy the AMD RX 6800 from the AMD European shop for 600 euros. . If the price diference is 300 euros cheaper for the RX 6800... would you still buy the RTX 3070 ?
What are the specs of the rest of the benchmark machine(s)?
Did you guys managed to benchmark Raytracing with SAM enabled??
What ultrawide is that in background?
Interesting coil whine issue, haven't heard that from the other reviews yet but it also doesn't entirely surprise me.
Yea, none of the other reviews said anything so far.
where do you get your wallpapers
Can i politely ask for some productivity benchmarks along the gaming ones? How RDNA2 compares to Ampere in compute tasks. What is the state of the encoder/decoder compared to NVENC. Traditionally, AMD GPUs are superior in compute workloads but using OpenCL is harder that the proprietary CUDA. Is there a shift in the industry towards a more open standard like OpenCL?
Coming a bit later.
-D.

Hey what PC case is that?
I am still curious about AMD's decision to equip the 6800 with 16GB of VRAM instead of 10GB or 12GB. Wonder if they reduced the VRAM would they have been able to have price parity with the 3070 at 500usd?
Can the 6800 realistically use all 16GB Vram with it completely utilized and the GPU still be have good performance in the game/software it is running in?
With SAM as well, I am honestly curious. Since the 6800, 6800XT and eventually 6900XT have 16gb of VRAM, I wonder if there is a way to reduce available VRAM via software to try and see if there is a performance hit with SAM for each RDNA2 card if it was set at 8gb or 12gb VRAM being detected. This is assuming that the game has a good SAM Performance increase with default 16gb VRAM. Just a curiosity because with Nvidia saying they'd enable their version for resizeable BAR, I wonder how that would be for a card like the 3070 where it only has 8gb of VRAM to work with, then a 1440p game say uses around 6gb of VRAM to run it well, leaving only 2gb max to work with resizeable bar... would there even be a benefit with the more limited free VRAM?
Linux has had resizeable BAR for a while so I wonder what they have to say about resizeable bar benefits for when they use the 5700XT that only had 8gb of VRAM, along with the "less efficient" architecture of Zen+ or Zen 2 when compared against Zen3?
did corsair copy the Razer huntsman elite? let me know what you guys think.
Can you guyd please do a Ray tracing comparison on a game that supports Both Nvidia and AMD, this game being Crysis remastered. Im having a lot of fun playing it with ray tracing on my Vega64 Nitro.

Best review of the new AMD cards. Thank you!
You're welcome!
So it's safe to upgrade my 1080ti now on 1440p?
I have a 6800Xt and aside from some AMD software issues with windows updates breaking the AMD software every update, as far as performance this card kicks booty. It was also $400 cheaper than a 3080 from the same oem. So much for msrp...!
Can you review some new higher end nearfield hifi speakers or headphones soon? Upper scale stuff, now is the time for people to gear up their audio since graphics availability are a massive letdown these days lol. A lot of people get paid a lot of money to put amazing effects into games and a lot of guys think using HyperX headphones gives them the full experience................MMM kay
