Introduction
Review - Sapphire Radeon RX 6750 XT NITRO+ 12GB
Sapphire also has a good Radeon RX 6750 XT 12GB, which we reviewed with proper cooling, low temperatures, and low acoustics. Of course, there's also a great factory tweak. The year 2022 is roughly halfway and AMD now revamps its RDNA 2 graphics card portfolio with a new family of graphics cards. All are rehashed and thus reconfigured products and that means this is not a new generation of cards, but rather an incremental improvement based on the same RDNA 2 architecture. The main difference here is the usage of quicker memory. All three graphics cards include up to 18Gbps GDDR6 memory chips, up from 16Gbps on non-50 versions. Some AIBs will configure the 6650 XT at 17.5 Gbps though with OC models configured at 18 GBps. All graphics cards also use a comparable GPU seen from their predecessor but will arrive with increased memory and boost/game clock rates. As such the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT will sit above the Radeon RX 6900 XT, and the Radeon RX 6750 XT will sit above the Radeon RX 6700 XT. of course the Radeon RX 6650 XT will sit above the Radeon RX 6600 XT. Consider this to be AMD's own 'SUPER'; however, the shader and RT count remain identical without any big advancements. The lineup is intended to provide performance enhancements ranging from 5-to-10%, and memory will play a significant role in meeting these performance objectives. Once again, the new lineup would be as follows:
- Radeon RX 6950 XT: 5120 SPs, 16GB GDDR6 (18Gbps), 256-bit bus, 335W TBP
- Radeon RX 6900 XT: 5120 SPs, 16GB GDDR6 (16Gbps), 256-bit bus, 300W TBP
- Radeon RX 6750 XT: 2560 SPs, 12GB GDDR6 (18Gbps), 192-bit bus, 250 TBP
- Radeon RX 6700 XT: 2560 SPs, 12GB GDDR6 (16Gbps), 192-bit bus, 230W TBP
- Radeon RX 6650 XT: 2048 SPs, 8GB GDDR6 (18Gbps), 128-bit bus, 180 TBP
- Radeon RX 6600 XT: 2048 SPs, 8GB GDDR6 (16Gbps), 128-bit bus, 160W TBP
Sapphire Radeon RX 6750 XT NITRO+ Series
Sapphire really designed a nice premium product, and while in the more mainstream/high-end segment, this product looks like is the beefiest you'll ever have seen. It is based on a triple-fan cooler and a 2.7-slot design with a duo of 8-pin PCIe power connectors, the card is bound to please and satisfy many. The modified RX 6750 XT graphics card has an outspoken black and silver design with a backplate. In the I/O area, the card includes three DisplayPort 1.4 ports, and one HDMI 2.1.Clock frequencies are listed as being a 2623MHz Boost. The Boost frequency however isn't a fixed setting anymore these days and can even vary per card a little. TGP allowance at performance mode is 230W. But as stated depending on the power allowance and even ASIC quality it can have different values. The 12GB GDDR6 memory clocks in at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). The most bitter pill to swallow is the starting price, $549 USD. The card has a length of close to 31cm, and weighs in at roughly 1.5 KG, and has been fitted with dual-BIOS. We have a lot to talk about, have a peek at what is reviewed today. On the next two pages some in-house photos, after which we then head onwards into the review.
