Lenovo shows off Radeon RX 6800 XT and RX 6900 XT Legion Edition custom graphics cards

Lenovo has presented its own custom Radeon RX 6800 XT and RX 6900 XT graphics cards. It's unclear if Lenovo will launch this graphics card in the retail market, but in the announcement, the manufacturer stated that the Radeon RX 6800 XT and RX 6900 XT Legion Edition graphics cards will be available in the Lenovo 7000P 2021.

As per Lenovo's post on Weibo (via @9550pro), the new Radeon RX 6800 XT and RX 6900 XT Legion Edition graphics card design seems to be a mix between the reference RX 6000 series card and AMD Radeon VII, including the red “R” cornerstone.

The short video showcasing the upcoming Lenovo Radeon RX 6900/6800 XT card shows it will feature 2x 8-pin power connectors, a “Radeon RX 6×00 XT” logo with RGB lighting located on top of the card, a metal backplate with the Legion logo, and a massive 3-slot design. Additionally, it looks like it will also feature screen cooling, as seen by the holes in the backplate and the extended heatsink.

Lenovo will make the new Radeon RX 6800 XT and RX 6900 XT Legion Edition custom graphics cards available as an option to the 2021 Legion 7000P desktops. As of now, it's not clear if Lenovo will launch these cards to the retail market, nor if they will be available in other countries besides China.

KitGuru Games: DLSS 5 misses the point

It would be hard to argue that NVIDIA’s DLSS technologies haven’t been a net positive to the PC space, with the machine-learning based upscaler successfully translating lower resolution inputs into a final image which is perceivably sharper while hogging fewer resources. Though somewhat more contentious, the next evolution of DLSS came in the form of Frame Generation, using ML in order to generate additional frames for high-refresh rate gaming. Both techniques can have their issues, but generally speaking they’ve allowed for more people to experience higher-end titles at increased frame rates. DLSS 5, however, takes a sharp pivot, with a very different end goal in mind than the performance-boosting versions that came before.
