3DMARK now contains a "pure ray-tracing" feature test - Ready for the Radeon RX 6000

Will AMD or Nvidia offer the strongest ray tracing?

I'm fairly interested in big navi's visual fidelity in ray tracing as well - if I understood nvidia's implementation correctly, they're applying a DLSS-like filtering on a fairly grainy image, since they aren't firing many rays.

Just ran it and it's not bad.


Left result is my 2080Ti at "Stock" just power target, temp target and fans cranked up full.


Right result is my 2080Ti with +130 on the core and +700 on the memory, with the same power target, temp target and fan speed.

It will be interesting to see how it runs on the 30 series from nVidia and the 6000 series from AMD.

I got 31.29 fps with my watercooled Gigabyte 2080 ti Gaming OC with just the power and temperature sliders turned up to max (122% power and 88C). I agree with the interest in how well the new GPUs run the test as the test looks like it scales more with GPU performance rather than any dependency on CPU performance. For what it is worth, the graph of GPU clock in the results for me shows an initial ramp up from 1350MHz to 2010MHz in the first 3 seconds and then 2010MHz for the rest of the test with no variation so I don't know why the average clock says 1988MHz.

Nvidia will offer the strongest RT performance without a doubt.

I do suspect AMD to do better or at worse equal to a 2080ti, though again behind Ampere.

2080ti does do RT quite well. So if AMD can match that, while giving the performance of a 3080, they have a battle at last. As many agree on these forums, we dont care for RT as much as we do for DLSS. Thats where their focus should be, and judging by the recent news, thats what they are doing.
