A stock cooled 6800XT beats the 3DMark Fire Strike record of a LN2 cooled 3090. A few caveats here. It has tweaked tessellation settings so it's not eligable for the HoF. With those settings it's still 2000 points behind.

Also, this is the regular Fire Strike, meaning 1080p. So it makes sense that AMD can make good ground here due to extremely high clocks. It seems for Fire Strike Extreme you would need a 6900XT to get close and for Fire Strike Ultra it doesn't even seem to be a contest.
I can only admire how AMD managed to be as power efficient with such high clocks. There's either a cheap trick that I'm not seeing or just top notch engineering.
