With the release of the Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards from AMD right around the corner, as well as the recent release of the RTX 3000 series graphics cards from Nvidia, you may be considering getting one of them for your next upgrade or DIY PC.
So, what are the differences? The images shown below are tested by AMD on selected games:

In short, the performance of the new cards are very close, so you should choose them based on the games you want to play.
Another factor you should at should also be the prices of the cards, which we have found for you here:
Pricing
RX 6800:
RX 6800 XT:
RX 6900 XT:
US$579
US$649
US$99
RtX 3070:
Rtx 3080:
rtx 3090:
US$499
SG$790
US$699
SG$1100
US$1499
SG$2365
For now, AMD has not released their SG$ retail prices for their cards, but it can be safe to assume that they’ll be priced similarly to their US$ retail price, with the 6800XT and 6900XT being cheaper than Nvidia’s RTX 3080 and RTX 3090.
With AMD now entering the high-end graphics card market alongside its entry into high-end processors a while back, it is a good time for gamers as competition will always mean innovation, which lets be honest has been stagnant for a while, as well as cheaper prices.
