With the Radeon RX 6900 XT, AMD aims to offer a graphics card that’s ready to run 4K displays with any game, with all graphics options enabled. This model is the ultimate solution of the series and takes on the best GeForce RTX 30.
The Radeon RX 6900 XT can be seen as a Radeon RX 6800 XT that has been slightly increased in the number of computing units. It achieves very good performance with games in 4K, provided they do not require ray tracing – then 1440p is strongly recommended. With its discreet operation, this card could have been an attractive alternative to the GeForce RTX 3080, but its poor ray tracing performance could tip many gamers in favor of Nvidia’s card.
strong points
- 4K performance (rasterization).
- Discreet ventilation.
- Fan off when board is idle.
- HDMI 2.1 video output.
- Ray tracing support.
weak points
- Enabling ray tracing, which severely degrades performance.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices requested by all retailers for the product in the last month, with security rules to exclude prices from stores whose VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically with imports from China).
alternative
The GeForce RTX 3080 is an ideal graphics card for gaming in 4K. Nvidia thus gives the opportunity to run games in this definition smoothly and yet so resource-intensive in ray tracing. And if the card has a heatsink that is as original as it is effective, you still have to keep in mind that it needs at least a well-ventilated case, otherwise the noise pollution tends to decrease.
