GeForce RTX 2080 Ti vs Radeon PRO W6800: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

2018

Why buy it

  • Costs $1,250 less on MSRP ($999 MSRP vs $2,249 MSRP).
  • Delivers 138.9% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 21.5 vs 9.0 G3D/$ ($999 MSRP vs $2,249 MSRP).
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Radeon PRO W6800 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 11 GB vs 32 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • Radeon PRO W6800 is the safer long-term pick here because the hardware is newer and the feature stack is stronger.

Radeon PRO W6800

2021

  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 9.0 vs 21.5 G3D/$ ($2,249 MSRP vs $999 MSRP).

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon PRO W6800 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 9.7% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward GeForce RTX 2080 Ti instead at 21,513 vs 20,270, so for this question the real-game FPS result matters more than the synthetic split.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Radeon PRO W6800 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 32 GB vs 11 GB of VRAM, the newer upscaling stack, FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020), a 7nm process instead of 12nm, and a newer 2021 generation instead of 2018. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce RTX 2080 Ti makes the most sense to buy today. It is $1,250 cheaper on MSRP at $999 vs $2,249, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 138.9% (21.5 vs 9.0), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and strong 1440p, GeForce RTX 2080 Ti is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and strong 1440p headroom, Radeon PRO W6800 has the stronger long-term case.
