AMD Radeon RX 6800M Review: True Competition on Gaming Laptop GPUs

Talking in pure terms of traditional game performance, the RX 6800M is able to match Nvidia’s RTX 3080 Laptop GPU at 1080p, while it comes in a bit slower at 1440p. It’s also ~10% faster than the RTX 3070 Laptop GPU on average, so in general I’d say the 6800M sits between the RTX 3070 and 3080 Laptop parts. This doesn’t give AMD the fastest laptop GPU on the market, but it appears to be very competitive at a similar power level and presents a significant improvement over prior AMD GPUs. On the positive side for AMD, having now tested SmartShift and Dynamic Boost 2.0, the wider power range and greater control that SmartShift provides in an AMD CPU+GPU laptop seems superior to what Nvidia offers. Sending the CPU as low as 20W and as high as 70W depending on how demanding the game is on the CPU led to consistently great results even in titles that hit the CPU hard.
