Radeon Ryzen 7 6800U

2020

Why buy it

  • Competitive enough if your priority is price, power, or specific feature preference.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (4,225 vs 20,312).
  • Less VRAM, with 2 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead.
  • Limited future-proofing: older hardware, 2 GB of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in upcoming AAA games.
  • 12.8% HIGHER MSRP

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 3060 Ti better than Radeon Ryzen 7 6800U?
Yes. GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 20,312 vs 4,225 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is a 2020 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Radeon Ryzen 7 6800U is a 2020 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.
Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting 380.8% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of 2 GB, and the stronger feature stack with DLSS Super Resolution instead of FSR upscaling. That leaves it with more room for heavier textures, tougher ray tracing loads, and higher-end 1440p or 4K gaming over the next few years.
Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is about $51 cheaper on MSRP at $399 MSRP versus $450 MSRP, and you are getting 380.8% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 442.2%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.
Is Radeon Ryzen 7 6800U still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
Yes. Radeon Ryzen 7 6800U is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around $450 MSRP, even if GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
