AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT Beats the NVIDIA RTX 3080 by 10% w/ Latest Drivers

AMD’s latest graphics driver, the Adrenalin 2020 Edition 21.1.1 provides a sizable boost in performance to the Big Navi graphics cards in Hitman 3. Before this update, the Radeon RX 6800 XT and 6900 XT were slower than their NVIDIA Ampere rivals, but according to reports from multiple outlets, with the new driver, the former actually manages to beat the RTX 3080 by as much as 10%.

NVIDIA is yet to release its GameReady driver for Hitman 3 so there’s a good chance that the lead will soon be erased or even turned around. The reason why we’re yet to see a GeForce driver for this game is cos, while Hitman 2 was an AMD partner title, the third one is an Intel-sponsored game.

Here’s the list of fixed issues with the latest Radeon driver:

Fixed Issues

  • The recording and streaming overlay indicator may sometimes reset itself to the default position.
