What does this comparison mean?
The 7800 XT only narrowly leads the 6800 XT in this supplied workload, with both at 16GB. A same-capacity replacement needs a stronger reason than this FPS gap alone.
Both variants have 16GB 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
RX 6800 XT 16GB
The 16GB RX 6800 XT put AMD back into direct high-end raster competition with an efficient RDNA 2 design. Its ray tracing and software ecosystem lagged its chief rival, but the launch restored a serious Radeon flagship choice.
RX 7800 XT 16GB
The 16GB RX 7800 XT paired substantial memory with strong 1440p raster performance at a competitive launch price. It became the more persuasive of AMD's September 2023 pair, even though ray tracing remained a weaker point.

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 above compares the higher model average with the lower one; the score scales every model against the fastest GPU in the current dataset, which scores 100. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS, and the percentage may change with the benchmark dataset.
