New Radeon RX 6950 XT graphics card failed to beat GeForce RTX 3090 Ti in official AMD tests

New generation of NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards will go on sale this fall.
We are promised a 2x performance increase due to architectural changes and 5nm process.
Add to this the conquest of extreme clock speeds, which as a result should become a driver for the development of the gaming sector, which in recent years has been frankly slow.
But this is all the prospect of the second half of 2022, while today we need to prove the ability to produce the fastest graphics chips on the planet.
If you think that the GeForce RTX 3090 is still at the top, you are very mistaken, because for some time now a pumped up version of the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti has been available in limited sales.
It is this graphics chip has finally secured the right to be called the fastest on the planet.
It seems that today everything became complicated again.advertisementO AMD plans to release an updated series of graphics cards became known a few months ago.
At the same time, the first leaks and specifications leaked to the press.
As it turned out, the insiders were completely right, as engineers decided not to strain, being limited to replacing the video memory to a faster 18 Gbps.
In addition, the TDP value was increased, which should remove some of the limitations during peak performance.
Today is the day when the masks are dropped and AMD makes an official press release.
Nothing fundamentally new there, but it will be useful to look at the comparative graphics of the updated series.First of all let's turn to the Radeon RX 6950 XT.
As you can see, the fastest video card of the red team easily beats the GeForce RTX 3090.
It is really a victory, because the latter has a much faster video memory and 384 bit bus against AMD's 256 bit.
But the GeForce RTX 3090 Ti could not cope with it.
Apparently, a complete victory of Radeon RX 6950 XT is noticeable only in two games, while in all other games we have to state a slight advantage of NVIDIA.
There's nothing surprising really, because the green ones managed to overclock their video memory up to unbelievable 24 Gbps while the red ones have only 18 Gbps.
The fact is that even the regular version (Radeon RX 6700 XT) has parity with the GeForce RTX 3070.
Somewhere the reds come out ahead, while sometimes the greens manage to do so.
Radeon RX 6750 XT turned out to be slightly faster, while the real performance gain is minimal.
It's about the same with the Radeon RX 6650 XT versus the GeForce RTX 3060.
Even the regular version of Radeon RX 6600 XT had an advantage over the NVIDIA's mid-range, well, the updated graphics chip does not show any significant breakthroughs.It is especially impressive how AMD is trying to confuse the reader.
The fact is that it is impossible to compare the results of all released graphics cards, because they were tested in different resolutions.
It turns out that in order to understand the real performance gain on the lower graphics chips we will have to wait for the tests from enthusiasts and expert teams.
For now, let us note again that the miracle did not happen, but it does not mean that the Radeon RX 6950 XT turned out bad.
Rather, it showed problems with access to fast memory, which will only get worse, because the next generation of AMD graphics chips will also be devoid of high-speed GDDR6X.For the post rewardedThis material is written by a site visitor, and it is rewarded.
