RX 6800 XT vs. RTX 3080. Part 2/2: Non-gaming tests

Extra tests, Graphics | | Ľubomír Samák

Without application/computational tests, graphics card tests would be incomplete. Therefore, we will focus on this area outside of gaming that most hardware magazines neglect. We understand the reasons, there are several of them, but even so, it is possible with a little effort to make at least a few measurements. So hopefully they will also help multimedia creators in choosing the right graphics card.

LuxMark

Test platform benchmark; API OpenCL; no extra settings.



Blender@Cycles

Test platform render BMW and Classroom; renderer Cycles, 12 tiles; extra settings are OpenCL for Radeon and CUDA for GeForce. The way most people will use it. OpenCL with GeForce is always slow because path tracing does not support GPU acceleration and is computed by the CPU. Nvidia OptiX is tested separately on supported cards (GeForce RTX) and the results are plotted in a separate graph.

AMD to Raise Prices on All Products: GPUs, CPUs and Chipsets

Chipsets, Graphics, Motherboards, News, Processors | | Jan Olšan

We reported that Intel was preparing to raise CPU prices next month, but according to further information, the same was planned by AMD. Further sources have now confirmed that this manufacturer will also be raising prices. However, the scope of the price increases is to be much broader—it will affect not only CPUs, but apparently all chips manufactured by AMD. As a result, graphics cards pricing will rise further, but so will prices of motherboards. Read more “AMD to Raise Prices on All Products: GPUs, CPUs and Chipsets” »

AMD Releases New Budget CPUs. Even for the AM4 Socket

News, Processors | | Jan Olšan

It looks like whole ten years since the time AMD officially launched the AM4 platform (initially for the Excavator architecture and only on the OEM market, in 2016), a new CPU will now be released for this socket. But not a completely new one. AMD has now released two configurations that did not previously exist, but are based on 2020 and 2022 silicon, and the first of them is coming to the older platform using DDR4.

Next-gen Radeon GPUs: RDNA 5 architecture clock targets leaked

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

2027 is approaching with new generations of GPUs, although they will be delayed compared to the previous two-year cycles. AMD has GPUs with the new RDNA 5 architecture coming, which could incorporate fairly major changes compared to today’s RDNA 4 based  GPUs, as well as a new manufacturing process. Thanks to the latter, clock speeds will apparently increase, although perhaps not by as much as one would have expected. Read more “Next-gen Radeon GPUs: RDNA 5 architecture clock targets leaked” »
