Radeon VII vs RTX 2080: AMD and Nvidia go head to head

AMD’s Radeon 7 (or Radeon VII to give it its proper, official styling) is finally here. Not only is it the world’s first 7nm gaming card, but it’s also the first consumer GPU to come stacked with a whopping 16GB of memory – that’s double what AMD stuck on their previous top-end card, the Radeon RX Vega 64, and 5GB more than what you’ll find on Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (which is currently the best graphics card around if you happen to have a spare thousand smackers stashed away under a mattress somewhere).

In truth, most games don’t need anywhere near that amount of memory just yet, and as you may have seen from my AMD Radeon 7 review, it doesn’t really end up being much help when it comes to competing against its main Nvidia competitor, the RTX 2080. So I thought I’d take a closer look at how they both stack up again, this time via the medium of some lovely graphs, both at 4K across a variety of different graphics settings as well as what’s possible on max settings at 2560×1440. To the bar charts!
