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

Brand new for the RX 6X50 series is Sapphire's Nitro+ Pure line, and we have this in the form of the RX 6950 XT. It ships in a light grey and yellow box, while the back is white and highlights key features of the GPU.

Inside, we find more of the same documentation, but there is a white GPU support bracket included as well.

Clearly, the ‘Pure' moniker describes the fact this new graphics card is mostly white, with white metal sections sitting alongside the three black fans. It's a lovely-looking graphics card and the photos don't quite do it justice, but it's good to see Sapphire trying something new as well.

Those three fans each measure 100mm, and once more they are using the new ‘Second Generation Angular Velocity' fan blades for increased air pressure.

This is a very large graphics card however, measuring 320 x 134.75 x 71.57mm – making it a 3.5 slot design. It also weighs over 1.5kg on my scales, so you will definitely want to use the included support bracket.

Thankfully, the white theme continues over to the metal backplate, with just a few grey elements to keep things interesting – it really is a beautiful graphics card.

As expected, we can also note the dual-BIOS switch, allowing a choice of the Performance or Silent modes, and the third option to toggle between the two using Trixx.

Power requirements are increased for the RX 6950 XT – it needs 2x 8-pin and 1x 6-pin connectors. We can also note 3x DisplayPort and 1x HDMI 2.1 video outputs.
