The Radeon RX 6900 XT is AMD's return to the fight for the high-end graphics performance throne. The new Radeon flagship is surprisingly similar to the RX 6800 XT, with the biggest difference the eight additional compute units, which brings the total shader count to 5,120 as opposed to 4,608 on the RX 6800 XT. Theoretically, this would suggest a 11% performance increase. Increasing the CU count also increases TMUs and ray accelerators because these are part of every CU. All the other specifications are identical: same ROPs, clocks, memory, L3 cache, TDP, and cooler. We confirmed with AMD that the L3 cache is running at the same frequency as on the RX 6800 XT. The only other change we noticed is that the GPU voltage circuitry has an additional power phase. Probably the most important facet that has remained the same is the 300 W TDP, which is important for power efficiency, heat, and noise.
AMD has done it. The new 'RDNA 2'-based Radeon RX 6000 graphics cards are very competitive in performance and aren't power-hungry for the performance that they deliver. Initially, we only had the pricing for the RX 6800 which does work out well for the Indian market given that the GPU does have the performance to back it up. And now that the price for the RX 6800 XT has been unveiled, we don't see any reason for Indian consumers to opt for the ridiculously overpriced card. Performance wise, these cards do well in most benchmarks that we ran. At INR 54,279, the Radeon RX 6800 enjoys a very healthy and consumer-centric positioning in India while the Radeon RX 6800 XT, at INR 76,688, ends up being a polar opposite. Let's just hope that there's enough supply in the market for the RX 6800.
