AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT review 5

It sounds like a movie trailer; but the trilogy ends today, the 3rd iteration of AMD Big Navi gets reviewed, oh yeah the shader unlocked megalodon is going to battle the GeForce RTX 3090, whilst being a good 500 bucks cheaper. Are you ready?

6900XT is just slightly better than the 6800XT, it feels more like an overclocked 6800XT (especially when looking at the RT Performance).
Those Benchmark results was kind of expected to be honest, because they both were introduced to have the same TDP, turns out the 6900XT drains (slightly) more than 6800XT :rolleyes:

Since Nvidia basically confirmed that the availability issue is going to remain like nowadays for several months, perhaps even longer then half a year, I bet the situation for AMD must be even worse then. Especially considering the fact that 6800XT still isn't nowhere to be found at all, let alone what will be with the 6900XT.

Thanks for the review, does what I expected

It's what 3090 did to 3080, hundreds of dollars more for almost no improvement in performance

I'd rather buy 6800XT and watercool + OC .. for example Asus 6800XT LC beats the 6900XT (Techpowerup Review)

Really worried about availability tho - This could be a halo product .. Oh well could not care less, not buying. It's 3080 Ti or nothing till 4000 series hit in 2022.

Might consider AMD by then, if Ray Tracing has improved and they have a DLSS-alternative.

Good to see that 6900XT beats 3060 Ti slightly in Ray Tracing tho :P

I am disappointed by the limited gap in performance between the 6800, 6800xt and the 6900xt. Its almost justifiable not to have the 6900xt exist.

A bit underwhelming for a flagship, but, a giant leap compared to what AMD offered in the past 6 years.
Not sure how their Windows drivers are failing so badly with compute loads, or OpenGL. At least when it came to the 6800XT, the Linux compute performance was crazy fast, whereas in Windows it's downright slow.
