It seems like AMD older generation is aging kind of badly. The RTX 3070 used to be very close to the 6700xt.
Same with the RTX 3060 and rx 6600. Like less than a 10% difference in performance. Now It's way worse. Like double the performance difference.
Techpowerup is showing similar results. Below is old results.
This is from the B580 review.
This probably tells you something about the current usefulness of bar graphs, particularly ones that average age a lot of data and don’t show 1% lows.Usually its the reverse. This should be particularly the case for the RTX 3070. The RTX 3080 is now 6900xt in performance.
Has AMD layoffs affected their last gen performance? Correction, even the RX 7600 is starting to lose performance too. The RTX 4070 super used to be 7% faster than a 7800xt now it is 15%.
AMD cards are aging badly , particularly their last generation.
Tom’s graphs are more useful in this regard if bar graphs must be used.
And there is also some deformation of the data based on the card selected, given it’s a relative performance thing it could be a little weird.
If you want to explore the bad aging of previous AMD cards a dedicated thread is probably a better bet.
