By using our GPU-only power data in conjunction with the 14-game average FPS data we presented earlier in this review, we can work out performance per Watt for each graphics card. This is presented as FPS per Watt.

Considering the 6900 XT consumes the same power as the 6800 XT, but runs 7-9% faster on average, it's no surprise to see it delivers better performance per Watt across the board. At 1440p, for instance, it is 7% more efficient, and only just behind the RX 6800 and RTX 3060 Ti.

At 4K, it pulls to joint first, delivering 8% better performance per Watt compared to the 6800 XT, while it's also 13% ahead of the RTX 3080.
