We used the following test system for comparison between the different graphics cards. The latest drivers that were available at the time of testing were used from AMD and NVIDIA on an updated version of Windows 10. All games that were tested were patched to the latest version for better performance optimization for NVIDIA and AMD GPUs.
Do note that the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT/RX 6700 XT/RX 6600 XT performance was evaluated on an Intel Z490 platform with the Core i7-10700K while the memory and rest of the specifications were kept similar to our Z390 testbed. This was done for the sole purpose of comparing SAM (Smart Access Memory) GPU performance which is only possible on Intel's 400 and AMD's 500/400 series platforms.
