Here’s a quick overview of NVIDIA’s current-gen line-up, with 1080 Ti added in for good measure. Even if AMD were to catch up to NVIDIA’s last-gen, Ampere makes another big leap in performance itself, as we will see in our RTX game testing, and saw last week in our rendering testing.
To NVIDIA’s advantage, its ray tracing performance is widely expected to be better than AMD’s, although we’re not going to know for sure until we have cards in-hand and can dig in ourselves. While it may be easy to sum-up NVIDIA’s RTX 3070 today, the picture could be changed up after AMD’s launch drops, especially if the numbers we’re being flaunted hold up. On the topic of AMD, the Radeon overlord announced last week that its new Radeon RX 6000 series is coming soon, and to our delight, we’re being promised really competitive performance.
