RX 6800M: Gaming Performance, FPS and Specs

Short answer: the RX 6800M is an entry-level gaming GPU that performs roughly like a desktop RX 7600 at its full power limit. With a Ryzen 7 5800H it averages about 78 FPS at 1080p and 58 FPS at 1440p on High in demanding games, so it is best suited to 1080p gaming.

RX 6800M: specifications

Spec	RX 6800M
Architecture	RDNA 2
Video memory	12 GB GDDR6
Power limit (TGP)	145 W and up
Released	2021
Similar desktop card	RX 7600
Upscaling	FSR 3.1 upscaling and frame generation

NVIDIA and AMD specifications. Laptop makers choose the power limit inside the range, so two laptops with the same GPU can perform differently. “Similar desktop card” compares the full-power version in our model.

RX 6800M: why the power limit (TGP) matters

Laptop GPUs share a name with a range of power limits. A thin laptop running the RX 6800M near the bottom of its 145 W and up range will be noticeably slower than a thick gaming laptop at the top. Before you buy, look for the “TGP” or “maximum graphics power” in the laptop’s spec sheet; the numbers on this page assume a high power limit.

Average FPS and 1% lows from our FPS model with a Ryzen 7 5800H and a high power limit. ⚠ = the game wants more video memory than this GPU has at that setting. Expect real laptops within about ±15%, depending on TGP and cooling.

With DLSS or FSR set to Quality, add roughly 20–30% to these numbers in games that support it.

From our bottleneck calculator. Up to 10% is balanced; a GPU limit is normal.

RX 6800M: frequently asked questions

Is the RX 6800M good for gaming?

Yes for 1080p. It averages about 78 FPS at 1080p High in demanding new games and 58 FPS at 1440p, and much more in esports titles.

What desktop GPU is the RX 6800M equal to?

At a high power limit it performs roughly like a desktop RX 7600 in our model. Low-power versions in thin laptops are slower.

Can the RX 6800M run games at 1440p?

Only lighter games, or with Medium settings and upscaling: about 58 FPS on High in demanding titles.

Is 12 GB of VRAM enough?

Yes, 12 GB is plenty for 1080p and 1440p.

What TGP should I look for?

As close to the top of the 145 W and up range as you can. The model name alone does not tell you the power limit.
