Geekbench: GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is almost as fast as Radeon RX 6800 in OpenCL benchmark

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti tails Radeon RX 6800

Geekbench has updated its official OpenCL benchmark charts, which usually happens around the same time a new graphics card is announced. The OpenCL chart has been updated with the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, the upcoming Ampere GA104 model from NVIDIA.

NVIDIA officially claims that the RX 3060 Ti will be faster than GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER and that so far has been reflected in other leaked benchmarks, such as 3DMark TimeSpy and Firestrike.

The Geekbench team has not yet updated its CUDA and Vulkan charts, so we only have the OpenCL chart for comparison. According to the data, the Radeon RX 6800 featuring Navi 21 XL GPU with 60 Compute Units is 0.6% faster than RTX 3060 Ti. This value is within the margin of error and it is likely to change as soon as more reviewers and customers get hands on the new graphics card.

We have already shared the benchmark results from Geekbench for this particular SKU last week. The score was slightly different, but unlike the new info from Geekbench, it was only based on a single run. The new chart, on the other hand, is always generated for at least 5 independent runs.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti Founders Edition reviews will go live tomorrow with custom model reviews following a day later. The graphics card will officially launch on the same day (December 2nd) at the price of 399 USD. That said, it is probably a good idea to wait for independent reviews featuring games before making final judgments.
