NVIDIA seems to have another problem to face after reportedly running low on supply with the popular GeForce RTX 3090, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, and now the GeForce RTX 3070. That problem is known as AMD. Once again, after AMD won the CPU war by dominating the Intel i9-10900K with the Ryzen 9 5950X, it seems like AMD is now going for its GPU competitors as well.
AMD RX 6800 vs RTX 3080: Recent benchmark leaked test results
Recent benchmark leaks have recently been popping out with hot news over the last few days and according to Tech Radar, not a lot of these news are showing any good news for NVIDIA. It looks like just another alleged leak for the said Radeon Big Navi RX 6800 might actually take AMD another step closer towards stealing the crown once again but this time, for GPUs.
As reported by Tech Radar, a certain leak that came in the form of a tweet posted by @PJ_Lab_UH showed what actually appeared to be some sort of 3DMark Time Spy score. The source came from an editor working at Uniko's Hardware so the chances of this being true is quite big.

How bad were the test results for NVIDIA?
The said CPU or Computer Processing Unit that was seen in the leaked tests is said to be an AMD Ryzen 5 3500X according to the tweet's description, and the stated card can manage up to 16,755 points in the seen Graphics test. This means that when taking the whole results for the said RTX 3070 Founders Edition from certain sites like the Guru3D as well as the HotHardware (13,622 and the 12,864 both respectively), this still signifies that the Radeon RX 6800 could still outperform the given RTX 3070 by up to a total of 23%.
Other test results were able to indicate that the given AMD's "Big Navi" RX 6800 copes quite remarkably well in certain ray-tracing workloads, even without the use of DLSS or deep learning super sampling in order to upscale the technology of its known competitor. Apparently, the said GPU is able to achieve a total of 80 FPS in the Shadow of the Tomb Raider game at a total of 1440p, and that's along with the ray-tracing effects enabled.
According to the article by Tech Radar, it's quite fair to say that the given information should still be taken with a little pinch of salt as there is still no official confirmation that the said GPU is indeed an RX 6800. However, if the benchmark results are real, this would be another blow to NVIDIA as availability of stocks seems to be their top problem. It was also previously reported by The Verge that AMD plans to go head-to-head with NVIDIA in the GPU market.
