Muted cells indicate unavailable, not applicable, or not directly comparable specifications.

DLAA counts as native resolution; DLSS, FSR and XeSS upscaling never do. A ray tracing setting without a readable on or off value is read as on.

Gaming benchmarks

Every card ran the same games at the same settings on one test system: AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, DDR5-6000 MHz RAM. The index sets the fastest card to 100 using the eligible test runs.
