The Medium is in full force, and we’re seeing how the modern cards from both NVIDIA and AMD handle this game and its ray tracing effects. The Radeon RX 6800, RX 6800 XT, RX 6900 XT, RTX 3060 Ti, RTX 3070, RTX 3080, RTX 3090, and RTX 2080 Ti all tested with and without ray tracing enabled.

Its so sad these RX cards are what's in 'next gen' consoles with their bad RT performance….
game optimized only for nvidia and AMD still did well without a new driver
6000 series should be recalled for RT. AMD owes these poor forks some money back.
Lmao when $1000 6900XT can barely keep up with a $400 3060 Ti in Ray Tracing.
How much longer, do you think, before we see AMDs version of DLSS and Direct ML for Xbox Series X/S?
Can you do a test comparing rx6000 with trixx boost and rtx3080 with dlss in ray tracing (fps & graphics quality)?
The hype that people had for amd ray tracing is tragic. Just 2 years ago. Amd was saying graphics cards arn't fast enough to deliver good ray tracing. Correction. Their graphics cards. Well they launched. Moore's law is dead. Comments are comical. They are as good almost to turing. The bad nvidia generation. Amd is still winning with general smoothness and more ram though. Even though. Gamers seam to think we have enough. Time and time again. Over the last decade. We don't need that much memory on our gpu's. Eye rolling. I'll be honest. The biggest thing holding me back from getting a amd card. Was its lack of ray tracing.
As things go forward. Its ray tracing for now on. Nvidia did most of the work for them. We wouldn't have ray tracing with the vulkan api without nvidia's help.
Seeing results from 1080p, High, RT Off shows why XSX dips down to 900p.
Cool Video, The RTX is way too performance intensive and the RTX effects are sometimes too bright or simply too distracting so i turned em off, and played it on 6k locked at 50hz never saw a dip using dlss low with using nearly 11gig of vram almost maxed out, the pixel density is better with this cuda rendering thing
PC needs dynamic resolution scaling option.
AMD does not have drivers out yet for The Medium, I’d guess a small but meaningful 5-15% boost
While I am impressed with AMDs rasterization… They suck at Ray tracing. Sorry don't come at me with but AMD DLSS will come… Sure that will help but they lack RT and Tensor cores. So it will not be a significant increase. Plus Nvidia has DLSS 3.0 coming…. They are holding it back to respond. That all said I am stuck with a Rtx2080… and will be for another few years… just gonna skip this gen.
Why would you lump them together based on brand? It just makes it more difficult to see how they scale performance wise. Terrible format.
DLSS is a savior on this one. It stresses the 3080 hard with RT on when it is split screen.
lol Raytracing really fucking kneecaps the Radeon cards 😛
ah….. it runs like crap on my RTX 2060 laptop. 15-30fps with RT and DLSS on in 1080p . Feels like a forgettable game.
May the the name itself is the clue – run the game in "The Medium" Settings. 😉
good job eggplant.
lol that game looks sad…I mean, her walking…is like cp2077 street crowd, but worse. And doesn't look especially good for THAT requirements…
AMD RT perf is so poor
it's worse than turing
It seems rx 6800 is on par with my rtx 2060 in this game with rt on without dlss lol
This games a disgrace do the Devs have future hardware? Even the mega drive could do split screen wtf
So this will be competing with Cyberpunk
what were there RT in this game? i just noticed DLSS .. lol looked great on my 4k oled 🙂 3090 took it to the park
rdoa2 huhuhuhuhuhu
cant wait for the hannibal memes
Theres really some kind of bottleneck on this game im not sure what. When its dual reality no matter what graphics settings, 1080p or 1440p, dlss on or off – the fps is the same at 100% gpu usage, with really low gpu watt consumption. Its not cpu bound like what you said in the video, none of the cores is hitting 100% but the gpu is 100% usage.
Great job on balanced reporting. Where's @Hardware Unboxed / TechSpot's Medium Reviews (separated benchmarks with DLSS off)…they won't do it because it makes AMD look bad at RayTracing…because it isn't a mature gaming feature yet! Lol jk 🙂
I don't know how you are getting those results. The game has constant awful micro-stuttering frame pacing issues.
Xbox are melting our PCs pretty hard as of late. First, Microsoft Flight Simulator. Now, The Medium. Even the RTX 3090 gets stomped in some scenarios.
DLSS alone make this game much better for nvidia users
PC > Xbox
The console version is locked 30fps and use aggressive dynamic resolution. It is demanding game on both xbox and PC but PC is still better specially on nvidia GPU
I feel like we need an NVDA gaming console, AMD sucks for RT and EU4 games in general
