RX 6800

RX 6800 Specifications

The RX 6800 is based on the RDNA 2.0 architecture and manufactured using the 7 nm process node. It was launched approximately 4 years, 6 months ago, originally priced at $579. It features 3840 cores, including 60 compute units (SMs), 240 texture mapping units (TMUs), and 96 render output units (ROPs). For ray tracing and AI-accelerated tasks, it also includes 60 dedicated RT cores and None Tensor cores, enabling advanced rendering and upscaling features where supported. It has a base clock of 1700 MHz and a boost clock reaching up to 2105 MHz. The RX 6800 comes equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit bus. Memory runs at 2000 MHz and delivers a total memory bandwidth of 512 GB/s.

This GPU has a moderate thermal design power (TDP) of 250 W. A PC case with good airflow and a quality power supply are required for stable operation. Due to the moderate TDP, this GPU is suitable for small form factor builds with somewhat limited airflow.
