Even the smallest “Big Navi” looks like a powerhouse for gaming enthusiasts.
The Graphics Wars of 2020 continue to heat up. We already know most of the players on the field from both AMD and NVIDIA, but not all of the various models have been released into the wild yet. AMD talked a really big game when it announced the Big Navi family of Radeon RX 6000 graphics cards, which included the RX 6800,6800 XT, and 6900 XT. AMD’s own number seemed to show some really spectacular performance at attractive prices, but we thirst for third-party verification. The latest benchmark leak comes from Basemark, and it shows some great performance for the bottom end of the pack. First of all, let’s talk numbers. The test system appears in Basemark’s database as a Ryzen 9 3900XT with an MSI X570 Godlike motherboard and 16 GB of memory. Basemark includes three different scores for three APIs: Vulkan, DirectX 12, and OpenGL 4.
