Although the Radeon RX 6000 Series launched back in fall of 2020, AMD is not done yet with releasing new models for its current generation of graphics cards. The company announced a refresh today for the existing lineup based on the RDNA 2 architecture. The new models from AMD include the Radeon 6950 XT, 6750 XT, and the 6650 XT. These models all offer slightly more gaming performance than the standard versions, but unsurprisingly cost more.
Gaming performance increases vary per model and per game, but you can generally expect small performance gains. This refresh is nothing that invalidates the previous lineup. These new models are differentiated from the existing options by higher clock speeds, improved Infinity Cache, and faster GDDR6 memory. Other than that, these are the same GPU chips. Whether or not these improved models are worth it will just depend on the performance targets you want to hit. And, of course, the size of your wallet.
The Radeon 6950 XT starts at $1,099 US…
