What does this comparison mean?
Only 14 FPS separates RX 6700 XT 12GB and RTX 2080 8GB in the supplied results, a 7.7% lead. The RX 6700 XT 12GB also has 4GB more memory, which is a separate distinction from the small FPS difference. Individual-card condition and the price difference deserve attention here.
RTX 2080 8GB has 8GB and RX 6700 XT 12GB has 12GB of graphics memory. Memory capacity, board dimensions, power connectors and the price of a particular used card are separate from this benchmark. Compare the exact item before deciding whether to upgrade.
The two GPUs in context
RTX 2080 8GB
The original RTX 2080 launched in September 2018 with Turing architecture and 8GB of graphics memory. It introduced dedicated RT and Tensor hardware and is separate from the later RTX 2080 Super.
RX 6700 XT 12GB
AMD introduced the RX 6700 XT in March 2021 with RDNA 2 architecture and 12GB of GDDR6.

How the figures are compared
Both FPS figures come from the owner-supplied GPUsed benchmark dataset. GPUsed reports a continuous FurMark run at 1080p for its physical-card checks. The percentage compares the higher model average with the lower one using the original FPS values. Our rating uses a compressed scale, with the fastest GPU at 100; it is separate from the percentage difference. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS.
GPUsed reports its physical-card checks typically last 30 to 60 minutes while temperature and stability are checked. The owner supplied the model-level FPS workbook on 2 October 2026; this benchmark dataset was last reconciled 3 October 2026. Historical cards tested are separate from the number of FPS runs behind a model average. Full benchmark method.
