Yep, its a VERY different picture to what other reviewers show isn't it!
I think that we've come of age were we mistaken influencers as reviewers. Giving them more credit of being fair then they really are. In this case tainting benchmarks to show the strength of geforce using older geforce titled games as a weakness to Radeon. By excluding those newer console ported games that favor AMD. This paints unrealistic picture of the 6000 series performance which will confuse novice into thinking that the game is somehow a bad port.
It would be hard to post this if Joker had not compiled a list of current gen games to show what AMD was thinking when they created RDNA 2 in AMD favored games. It was for current/future console ported games on this gen of console hardware.
This has been a current trend since the 5700xt which is now on the heals of a 2080. Which was unheard of a few months ago.
As you can see in Valhalla there is a 1 FPS difference between the 5700xt and 2080s. Not a 2080 a 2080s at it's designated resolution of 1440p.
Same thing with Dirt 5. The 5700xt with mature drivers is now a competitor for the 2080s!!
My point is that given time there will be a performance increase for the 6000 series. And it will come sooner rather then later. The reason why it took so long for the 5700xt to show these performance uplifts during it's lifecycle is because those ported games were released towards the end of the 5700 series life cycle. Thus only reliant to nvidia sponsored games that skewed the results of what is to come...nextgen console ports.
Now that we are entering into this era (nextgen console ported games) it is of my opinion we will see more Dirt 5/Valhalla/etc type of results for the 5000/6000 series. CB2077 is the outlier only because it's not a console ported game. It's a nvidia sponsored game which IMO will have blackbox code released on day 1 specifically to make the game work well only with nvidia gpus based on it's driver 460.xx released today. I'll be surprised if 6800xt is as fast as a 3070 in that game w/o rt.
Edit:
But lets absorb those results for a minute. With these newer console ported games being release a 5700xt is equivalent to a 2080
SUPER at 1440p (the resolution the 5700xt is designed for).
That's a peformance uptick of 2070 to 2070s then from a 2080 to 2080s. That's a 3 tier performance uplift.
Will the 6800xt, in mid 2021 be on par with a 3090 in certain console ported unreleased games at 4k? IMO, very likely. Stay tuned.
