Linux activity like RX 6800 XT is Faster Than RX 7800 XT and RDNA 2 Improves with Age Like Vintage Wine
Among the most remarkable motherboards now available comprises the Amd RX 7800 XT. In Microsoft Windows, for now, this GPU provides a modest gain in performance over the Geforce RX 6800 XT. They are now provided with proof, according of Phoronix, showing that the Radeon RX 6800 XT plays far better in Windows 1080p (1920 x 1080) gaming than the Radeon RX 7800 XT achieves at the same resolution.
Those Amd RX 6800 XT was the clear leader above all of the additional video cards manufactured by AMD, Nvidia, which and Intel. The graphics card performance of the previous-generation Geforce RX 6800 XT was as much as 12 percent better than that of the current-generation Geforce RX 7800 XT. The performance of the older model was approximately comparable to that of the Radeon RX 6800.
In justification of RDNA 2, the Geforce RX 6000 series have existed on the marketplace for an extended period now, whose implies they operate on motorists that have been took to a greater extent than that of the Radeon RX 7000 series, which doesn’t seem more than twelve months old yet.
If you compare the two graphics cards based on their basic specs, you’ll see that the Radeon RX 7800 XT has 12 less compute units than its predecessor, the Radeon RX 6800 XT. On paper, the former exhibits around eighty percent more FP32 performance than the later does. The increased clock rates of the Radeon RX 7800 XT aren’t sufficient to make up for the lack of performance in other areas.
Because of the RDNA 3 design, AMD is able to double-pump the compute units, which, in theory, delivers twice the performance. This is made possible by the fact that the RDNA 3 architecture. The workload, and more significantly, the driver, is the most critical factor in determining the final outcome since it instructs the graphics card when it is possible to carry out such an operation.
During this time, the Radeon graphics cards were at the top of the Linux gaming rankings. They were followed by Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 30 series (Ampere), while Intel’s Arc Alchemist was in the last position. The GeForce RTX 3080 was the strongest performance from Nvidia, but it was still outperformed by the Radeon RX 6700 XT. It is interesting to note that the performance difference between the Arc A580 and the Arc A750 was just 8%. In the meanwhile, the performance of the Arc A770 was shown to be 13% superior than that of the Arc A580.
Workstation workloads were another area in which AMD’s RDNA 2-powered graphics cards thrived, demonstrating that the company’s superiority was not limited to the gaming industry. In SPECViewPerf 2020 3.0, the Radeon RX 6800 XT showed between 14% and 87% greater OpenGL performance than the Radeon RX 7800 XT. This was determined by comparing the two GPUs. The Radeon RX 7800 XT was eventually victorious in the ParaView 5.10.1 benchmark, achieving 5% higher performance than the Radeon RX 6800 XT.
In the Linux environment, RDNA 3 hasn’t lived up to its promise, and it’s unclear whether or not performance will improve with updated drivers. While we wait for RDNA 3 to reach its full potential, gaming on Linux is handled quite well by RDNA 2, in the interim. If you’re a Linux gamer who plays at 1080p, there isn’t much of a reason to upgrade to RDNA 3 right now. Perhaps price will be more reasonable by the time RDNA 3 reaches its maximum potential, but for the time being, there isn’t much of a reason to upgrade.
