AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT, RX 6750 XT, RX 6650 XT Graphics Cards Gaming, Raytracing, RSR Benchmarks & Price Positioning Confirmed

In the previous two leaks, we have covered the official specifications and the official synthetic tests for all three cards. Now our final post will give a rundown on the Radeon RX 6950 XT, RX 6750 XT & RX 6650 XT gaming performance which includes results at various resolutions for each tier. We will also discuss the official pricing and how they compare to the competition and against AMD existing RX 6000 series cards.

Note: The following results are based on AMD's official data which has been presented to the media. Test results in independent testing may vary.

Testing Methodology: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D (X570 motherboard) with SAM & Resizable-BAR enabled. AMD Driver Version (22.10-220411n) NVIDIA Driver Version (512.15)

AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT, The Fastest Graphics Card For 4K Gaming at $1099 US

Starting with the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT, this will be the flagship offering on the Navi 21 GPU. It has the same chip as the XTXH variants plus a binned design which helped the red team extract a little more performance out of the chip. As for the performance, we are looking at various games that were tested at 4K resolutions with max in-game detail,

Compared to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, this is a performance improvement of 11% which is the same performance level as the RTX 3090 TI. The RTX 3090 retails at $1499 US while the RTX 3090 Ti retails at $1999 US. So you are looking at a much cheaper price with higher gaming performance. At the same time, we are looking at a 4% performance boost over the Radeon RX 6900 XT for $100 US more (MSRP). So one could just overclock his Radeon RX 6900 XT and call it a day but for those who haven't upgraded yet, if you are able to find an RX 6950 XT custom model with similar pricing as an RX 6900 XT custom model, then going for the former makes the most sense. But if you are looking at a lower price point for the 6900 XT, then just buying this graphics card and saving a few bucks is the way to go. To sum things up:

RX 6950 XT vs RX 6900 XT = 4% FasterRX 6950 XT vs RTX 3090 = 11% Faster

The raytracing performance for the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT was tested in titles that run slightly better with AMD hardware. You are looking at an average 2-3% performance bump in the games tested but at the end of the day, there's a reason why AMD didn't focus that much on raytracing performance and that's purely because NVIDIA's RTX 30 series has a huge advantage in a majority of RT-enabled titles at the moment.
