Performance comparison: which is faster?
AMD Radeon Pro W7800 (AMD, 2023) and Radeon RX 6800 (AMD, 2020) are compared here. Compare scores and VRAM, generative AI usability, and CPUs that pair well with each GPU.
Overall performance: Radeon Pro W7800 is about 7.3% faster
For generative AI, the higher-VRAM Radeon Pro W7800(32GB) has the advantage. For gaming, prioritize performance score and CPU compatibility; for AI, prioritize VRAM.
Relative performance score (higher is faster). Actual fps varies by resolution, game, and CPU configuration.
| Item | Radeon Pro W7800 | RX 6800 |
|---|---|---|
| Performance Score | 22,000 | 20,500 |
| VRAM | 32GB | 16GB |
| Manufacturer | AMD | AMD |
| Series | Pro | RX 6000 |
| Release Year | 2023 | 2020 |
| Compatible CPU Example | Core i5-11600 | Core i3-12100 |
These generative AI models can run on only one GPU because of the VRAM difference (Stable Diffusion, Flux, LLMs, and others).
— None (all models that run on Radeon Pro W7800 also run here)
| If You Want To... | Recommended |
|---|---|
| Prioritize high fps and smooth performance in demanding games | Radeon Pro W7800 |
| Run larger generative AI and LLM models | Radeon Pro W7800 |
| Prioritize value and adequate performance | RX 6800 (the lower model is often sufficient) |
Radeon Pro W7800 is about 7.3% higher by score (Radeon Pro W7800: 22000 points / RX 6800: 20500 points). Actual fps also varies by resolution, game, and CPU, so price is a reasonable deciding factor when the gap is only a few percent.
Radeon Pro W7800 has 32GB of VRAM, while RX 6800 has 16GB; Radeon Pro W7800 has more. If image generation or a local LLM is even a possibility, the higher-VRAM option provides more room.
Using our guideline, Core i5-11600 pairs well with Radeon Pro W7800 and Core i3-12100 with RX 6800 (CPU:GPU ≈ 0.9:1). If the CPU is too weak, replacing the GPU may not raise fps, so check the combination before buying.
