AMD Radeon RX 6800 16GB Specs, Benchmarks & Pricing

The AMD Radeon RX 6800 was released in November 2020 alongside the RX 6800 XT as part of AMD's RDNA 2 architecture lineup (Navi 21). It features 60 compute units with 3,840 stream processors and 16GB of GDDR6 memory with 512 GB/s bandwidth. The card includes 60 ray tracing acceleration cores and 128MB of Infinity Cache. Built on TSMC's 7nm process with 26.8 billion transistors, it delivers 16.17 TFLOPS of FP32 performance at a boost clock of 2,105 MHz. With a lower TDP of 250W compared to the XT variant, the RX 6800 was positioned to compete with NVIDIA's RTX 3070, offering excellent 1440p and 4K gaming performance with DirectX 12 Ultimate support including hardware-accelerated ray tracing.

Notes

FP16 performance is 32.33 TFLOPS calculated at 2:1 ratio to FP32, which is standard for RDNA 2 architecture
FP32 TFLOPS calculated as 3,840 stream processors × 2,105 MHz boost clock × 2 ops/cycle = 16.17 TFLOPS
Memory bandwidth calculated as 256-bit bus × 16 Gbps effective = 512 GB/s
RDNA 2 architecture does not include dedicated AI/ML accelerators or tensor cores
The 128MB Infinity Cache significantly improves effective memory bandwidth beyond the raw 512 GB/s specification
Built on TSMC 7nm process with the same 520 mm² die size as RX 6800 XT, with some compute units disabled
MSRP of $579 USD verified from multiple sources including Wikipedia, Tom's Guide, and TechArena24 at launch on November 18, 2020
Manufacturer identifiers sourced from TechPowerUp GPU Database showing AMD reference design specifications
Third-party AIB partner products include cards from Sapphire, XFX, PowerColor, ASUS, MSI, and Gigabyte with verified model numbers from official manufacturer websites and retail listings
