GeForce RTX 2080 Super vs Radeon RX 6700

Speed and memory

The GeForce RTX 2080 Super and the Radeon RX 6700 are within a few percent of each other for gaming in our model, so you will not see a difference in play.

The GeForce RTX 2080 Super has 8 GB of video memory and the Radeon RX 6700 has 10 GB. That is a small difference and unlikely to decide anything.

In our estimates for popular games at 1080p on High, the biggest gap is in Fortnite (300+ against 300+ fps), and the smallest is in ELDEN RING (60 against 60 fps). Games that are light enough to run above 200 fps on both cards show little difference at all.

Power and value

The GeForce RTX 2080 Super is rated at 250 W and the Radeon RX 6700 at 175 W. With a mid-range processor that means a power supply of about 650 W for the first and 550 W for the second. A gap of 75 W shows up in heat and fan noise, and in your electricity use over a few years.

At launch the GeForce RTX 2080 Super cost $699 and the Radeon RX 6700 $269. Per dollar, the Radeon RX 6700 gave more performance (11.2 points per $100 against 4.3). Current prices differ, so run the same sum on what you can actually buy today.

Which one to buy

Choose the GeForce RTX 2080 Super if you want the faster card, and you can accept 8 GB of memory. It makes the most sense at 1440p and above, or on a monitor with a high refresh rate.

Choose the Radeon RX 6700 if the price gap matters more than the small speed difference, and you value the extra video memory. Whichever you pick, check reviews for the games you play, because two cards with similar scores can differ in individual titles.
