About the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT GPU

The AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q2 2022 with a MSRP of $1,099. It is built on the RDNA 2.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Navi 21) and is manufactured on a 7 nm process.

Memory

The RX 6950 XT has 16 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 2,250 MHz memory clock and a 256 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 576 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RX 6950 XT includes 5,120 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,860 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,310 MHz. It usually operates at 2,100 MHz during typical gaming workloads. Complementing the processing units are 320 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 128 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 80 ray accelerators dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RX 6950 XT is a large graphics card, occupying 3 PCIe 4.0 x16 expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a display connections. With a thermal design power (TDP) of 335 W and a large, 3-slot size, it is recommended to use a power supply of 700 W and a case with sufficient space to accommodate the card. Compare your card's model and your case's dimensions to verify compatibility.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RX 6950 XT has the 8th best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 69.05% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 72,227.5 score and $1,099 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 65.72. This is the 48th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.

About the AMD Radeon RX 7600 GPU

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 is a desktop graphics card that launched in Q2 2023 with a MSRP of $269. It is built on the RDNA 3.0 GPU microarchitecture (codename Navi 33) and is manufactured on a 6 nm process.

Memory

The RX 7600 has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, with a 2,250 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 288 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The RX 7600 includes 2,048 stream processors (SPs), the processing units for handling parallel computing tasks. The GPU operates at a core clock speed of 1,720 MHz and can dynamically boost its clock speed up to 2,655 MHz. It usually operates at 2,250 MHz during typical gaming workloads. Complementing the processing units are 128 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 64 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing. Additionally, the GPU features 64 AI accelerators optimized for AI workloads and 32 ray accelerators dedicated to real-time ray tracing calculations.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The RX 7600 occupies 2 PCIe expansion slots. It supports HDMI 2.1a, DisplayPort 2.1 display connections. AMD recommends a power supply of at least 450 W to handle the GPU's thermal design power (TDP) of 165 W.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The RX 7600 has the 31st best 3DMark 11 Performance GPU score among the 543 benchmarked GPUs in our database. It achieves 41.52% of the performance of the best benchmarked GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090. Its 43,430 score and $269 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 161.45. This is the best in value for the 3DMark 11 Performance GPU benchmark.
