AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT GPU Review & Benchmarks: Undervolting, Gaming, Power, Noise
15,206Our review of the AMD RX 6900 XT GPU is here, with benchmarks for the 6900 XT vs. the RTX 3090, RTX 3080, RX 6800 XT, and more. SAM, Ray Tracing, power, OC, & thermals included.

In this review of the AMD RX 6900 XT video card, we'll be covering frequency behaviors, unique undervolting performance characteristics, power consumption, Smart Access Memory performance, ray tracing benchmarks (vs. RTX and DLSS), and normal rasterization testing. We had to cut a few tests to keep the length manageable, and it still ran a little long. We likely won't be following this one up anytime soon due to how overloaded the review pipeline is right now, but we might do some XOC overclocking streams with it in the future, as things smooth-out more. In the meantime, heading into the Cyberpunk 2077 launch this week, we have this one last round of GPU benchmarks to get through for the year. We now have a fairly full picture of the best GPUs for 2020 -- it's just a matter of getting one. Comparisons primarily consist of benchmarks of the 6900 XT vs. the 6800 XT, RTX 3080, and RTX 3090.
