Middle-earth: Shadow of War is an action role-playing video game developed by Monolith Productions and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. It is the sequel to 2014’s Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, and was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on October 10, 2017. (Wikipedia).

Engine: LithTech Firebird. We test using the Very High preset, DX11 API.

I was surprised by the results in Middle Earth: Shadow Of War. The RX 6800 gives a decent beating to the RTX 3070 in this DX11 title, as it delivers 15% better performance at 1440p.

Up at 4K, however, the RTX 3070 does catch up. We can see the RX 6800 still outpacing it by 4FPS, but that's a difference of just 7% now.
