Here we present frame rate figures for each graphics card, averaged across all 14 games on test today. These figures can disguise significant variations in performance from game to game, but provide a useful overview of the sort of performance you can expect at each resolution tested.

Looking at the big picture overview, there is a fair bit of variation through the different resolutions. At 1440p, the 6900 XT is on average 7% faster than its little brother, the 6800 XT, while it is 5% faster than the RTX 3080. Compared to the RTX 3090 however, it is 6% slower.

As for 4K, here the 6900 XT is on average 9% faster than the 6800 XT, but it's just 2% faster than the RTX 3080. It also falls 10% behind the RTX 3090 at this higher resolution.
