RX 6900 XT

RX 6900 XT Specifications

The RX 6900 XT is based on the RDNA 2.0 architecture and manufactured using the 7 nm process node. It was launched approximately 4 years, 6 months ago, originally priced at $999. It features 5120 cores, including 48 compute units (SMs), 320 texture mapping units (TMUs), and 128 render output units (ROPs). For ray tracing and AI-accelerated tasks, it also includes 80 dedicated RT cores and None Tensor cores, enabling advanced rendering and upscaling features where supported. It has a base clock of 1825 MHz and a boost clock reaching up to 2250 MHz. The RX 6900 XT comes equipped with 16 GB of GDDR6 memory across a 256-bit bus. Memory runs at 2000 MHz and delivers a total memory bandwidth of 512 GB/s.

This GPU has a moderate thermal design power (TDP) of 300 W. A PC case with good airflow and a quality power supply are required for stable operation. Due to the moderate TDP, this GPU is suitable for small form factor builds with somewhat limited airflow.

RX 6900 XT Performance

RX 6900 XT is a mid-range graphics card, scoring 54.31% in relative gaming performance. It provides excellent performance at 1440p resolution and is capable of delivering playable 4K gaming with optimized settings or technologies like DLSS, FSR, and frame generation. This GPU is well-suited for average gamers who want 100+ FPS in competitive games at 1440p or a reasonable 4K experience in less demanding titles.

The gaming performance-per-price ratio of RX 6900 XT is 42.2%, indicating lower value in this category. This GPU does not offer high gaming performance and has a low performance-to-price ratio, making it a poor value proposition. There are better alternatives available in this price range.
