FULL STORY ======================================================================

A chart posted to Twitter by AMDs Chief Architect of Gaming Solutions and Marketing, Frank Azor , claims that AMDs newest graphics cards offer the best performance for the money compared to Nvidia's latest Ampere graphics cards. (Image credit: AMD)

The chart lists nearly every model from both the RX 6000 line and RTX 3000 series, except for the newly released RX 6x50XT series and RTX 3090 Ti. According to the chart, the Radeon RX 6950XT offers 80% better performance
per dollar and requires 15W less power than the GeForce RTX 3090. We haven't been able to verify those claims ourselves, however.

Although those prices may fluctuate, this is definitely a good way to see how the current market may favor Team Reds wares over Team Green, at least according to price especially considering how high prices are for graphics cards in general. Analysis: What else is AMD offering?

Along with the claim that AMDs graphics cards are a better bang for your
buck, the company also announced a beta version of its new graphics driver
for its Radeon line. It appears to offer some impressive gains for some
games, including World of Warcraft: Shadowlands which runs up to 30% faster and Assassins Creed Odyssey which sees a 28% increase. These aren't the
latest and greatest, however, so take the claims of improved performance with a grain of salt.

This graphics driver features version 1.1 of Radeon Super Resolution (Team Red's super-sampling frame rate booster), as well as Smart Access Memory
(SAM) optimizations implemented for Death Stranding and Watch Dogs: Legion. The best AMD Radeon Settings tweaks for top performance
