Sapphire RX 6800 XT Nitro+ Review

Fire Strike is a showcase DirectX 11 benchmark for modern gaming PCs. Its ambitious real-time graphics are rendered with detail and complexity far beyond other DirectX 11 benchmarks and games. Fire Strike includes two graphics tests, a physics test and a combined test that stresses the CPU and GPU. (UL).

3DMark Time Spy is a DirectX 12 benchmark test for Windows 10 gaming PCs. Time Spy is one of the first DirectX 12 apps to be built the right way from the ground up to fully realize the performance gains that the new API offers. With its pure DirectX 12 engine, which supports new API features like asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter, and multi-threading, Time Spy is the ideal test for benchmarking the latest graphics cards. (UL).

Starting with a look at 3DMark, the Nitro+ is 6% faster than the reference 6800 XT in both Fire Strike and Time Spy, while this falls to 5% in Fire Strike Ultra. That puts it 1-2% ahead of the PowerColor Red Devil, and it's only 2% slower than the RX 6900 XT in Fire Strike.
