Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Vs AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT: Which Is The Best Flagship GPU?

screenrant.com:

The biggest gun in Nvidia's GPU arsenal, the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti, is now hitting the shelves carrying a price tag of $2000 for the Founders Edition. So, naturally, folks looking for a top-tier future-proof graphics card will be looking at competition from AMD before they drop north of a couple of thousand dollars. Thankfully, Team Red has an enthusiast-class GPU that challenges Nvidia's best, and it goes by the name AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT. AMD's offering has an MSRP of $999, but the partners like MSI and Sapphire hawk their custom versions for around $1,300 via online and offline outlets.

AMD, as usual, is undercutting its rival in terms of pricing, but there are a few aspects worth keeping in mind before going with either choice. Starting with the areas where the AMD GPU reigns supreme, the Radeon RX 6900 XT offers a boost GPU frequency of 2250 MHz, while its Nvidia rival can only reach 1860 MHz, and the same applies for base frequency figures as well. In addition, the AMD flagship also draws in 300W of power and can run on an 850W power supply unit, while the RTX 3090 Ti has a 450W requirement.

But there are a few critical areas where the RTX 3090 Ti leaves its AMD competitor far behind. The top-tier Nvidia graphics card pushes the raw performance to 40 teraflops, while the Radeon RX 6900 XT only musters up to 23.04 teraflops of computing power. Nvidia's flagship comes armed with 24GB of GDDR6X memory ticking at 21 Gbps and offering a peak bandwidth of over 1000 Gbps. AMD's Radeon RX 6900 XT offers 16GB of GDDR6 memory with a lower 16 Gbps output and half the memory bandwidth of its Nvidia rival at 512 Gbps. The memory bus width is another key parameter where
