Radeon RX 6750 XT and Radeon RX 6650 XT reviews: 5-8% faster than their predecessors

Based on foreign press reviews, the performance of Radeon RX 6750 XT and Radeon RX 6650 XT graphics cards presented yesterday has indeed improved over the regular Radeon RX 6700 XT and Radeon RX 6600 XT.
But will it be enough to match or even overtake the competition? We have studied reviews of both gas pedals from PCWorld and TechPowerUp portals and below are the main excerpts.Image source: PCWorldBriefly recall the characteristics.
At the heart of both video cards are used exactly the same graphics processors as the predecessors.
The only difference is their slightly higher gaming and Boost frequencies.
In the case of Radeon RX 6750 XT the basis of the chip is Navi 22 with 2560 stream processors, operating in the frequency range from 2495 to 2600 MHz.
The chip of its predecessor in turn operates in the range from 2424 to 2581 MHz.Sapphire Radeon RX 6650 XT Nitro +.

It runs at 18Gbps per pin instead of 16Gbps.
Thanks to this its bandwidth increased from 384 to 432 GB/s.
The memory bus bit rate has not changed.
It is still 192 bits.
The capacity also remains the same: 12 GB.
Rated power consumption of the card increased from 230 to 250 W.
Sapphire Radeon RX 6750 XT Nitro+.

Its gaming frequency is 2410 MHz, and in Boost mode it goes up to 2635 MHz.
Radeon RX 6600 XT in turn has frequencies of 2359 and 2589 MHz respectively.
The new booster also has faster GDDR6 memory at 17.5Gbps (instead of 16Gbps).
The memory bus bit rate remains the same at 128 bits.
The memory bandwidth has increased from 256 GB/s to 288 GB/s.
Declared power consumption index of the gas pedal increased from 160 to 180 W.

They have a small factory overclocking of the graphics chip, which generally does not affect the overall picture of performance.
MSI Radeon RX 6650 XT Gaming X and ASUS Radeon RX 6750 XT Strix OC models, which turned out to be in the hands of TechPowerUp journalists, have additional overclocking as well.ASUS Radeon RX 6750 XT Strix OC.

For example, Radeon RX 6650 XT in games with 1080p resolution (the target for this card) became faster than the usual Radeon RX 6600 XT on average by 5%.

Image source: TechPowerUpThe advantage of the new Radeon RX 6600 XT over the GeForce RTX 3060 model is now 13%.
At the same time, the novelty is still slower than the gas pedal GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, which overtakes it by 10%.
As for the Radeon RX 6700 XT, it is 13% faster than the Radeon RX 6650 XT.

Image source: TechPowerUpThe Radeon RX 6750 XT, on the other hand, is on average 8% faster than the regular Radeon RX 6700 XT in games at 1440p resolution.
That's enough to match the performance of the GeForce RTX 3070 and at the same time close the gap with the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti to just 6%.
The proprietary Radeon RX 6800 is 11% faster than the new model.

Both gas pedals noticeably lag behind not only their direct competitors, but also from the initially less productive GeForce solutions.
For example, the Radeon RX 6750 XT is often inferior even to the GeForce RTX 2080 of last generation Turing.Radeon RX 6650 XT performance in ray traced games (1080p and 1440p) control-rt-1920-1080.png See all images (18) control-rt-2560-1440.png cyberpunk-2077-rt-1920-1080.png cyberpunk-2077-rt-2560-1440.png deathloop-rt-192
