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

Fire Strike is a showcase DirectX 11 benchmark for modern gaming PCs. Its ambitious real-time graphics are rendered with detail and complexity far beyond other DirectX 11 benchmarks and games. Fire Strike includes two graphics tests, a physics test and a combined test that stresses the CPU and GPU. (UL).

3DMark Time Spy is a DirectX 12 benchmark test for Windows 10 gaming PCs. Time Spy is one of the first DirectX 12 apps to be built the right way from the ground up to fully realize the performance gains that the new API offers. With its pure DirectX 12 engine, which supports new API features like asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter, and multi-threading, Time Spy is the ideal test for benchmarking the latest graphics cards. (UL).

Kicking off the benchmarks with a look at 3DMark, we don't see massive performance increases here for the new RX 6X50 series of cards. Fire Strike is particularly meagre, with the 6750 XT only outperforming the RX 6700 XT by 5%, though thankfully the 6950 XT does better, managing a 10% lead over the RX 6900 XT in Fire Strike and Time Spy.
