AMD RX 6950 XT, 6750 XT & 6650 XT Review ft. Sapphire

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a 2018 action-adventure game developed and published by Rockstar Games. The game is the third entry in the Red Dead series and is a prequel to the 2010 game Red Dead Redemption. Red Dead Redemption 2 was released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in October 2018, and for Microsoft Windows and Stadia in November 2019. (Wikipedia).

Engine: Rockstar Advance Game Engine (RAGE). We test by manually selecting Ultra settings (or High where Ultra is not available), TAA, DX12 API.

Moving onto Red Dead Redemption 2, this is one of the better games for the RX650 series of cards. At 1080p, we are looking at an 8% performance improvement for the RX 6650 XT, when compared against the 6600 XT, while the 6750 XT is 7% ahead of the RX 6700 XT. The Nitro+ 6950 XT is once more top of the chart however, just edging ahead of the RTX 3090 Ti.

Up at 1440p, the performance trends are very similar, as we can see small but not insignificant gains from all three of the new GPUs, when comparing them to their predecessors. The 6950 XT is still just about faster than the RTX 3090 Ti, too, but only by a couple of frames.

As for 4K, this is too much for the 6650 XT to handle, but the 6750 XT still puts in a good shift and is only just slower than the RTX 3070. Sapphire's RX 6950 XT does fall behind the RTX 3090 Ti however, but that is to be expected at this resolution.
