Following up on its launch of the Ryzen 5000 processors earlier this month, AMD has now introduced its lineup of graphics cards, the Radeon RX 6000 series. The new graphics cards are based on the company's RDNA 2 architecture, which is based on a 7nm process.
The new RDNA 2 architecture promises big improvements over its predecessor, improving performance per watt by 54%. The architecture also delivers 30% higher frequencies on the same 7nm node.
The headliner of the RX 6000 series is the Radeon RX 6800 XT. This card features 72 compute units with a game clock of 2015MHz. It has 128MB of AMD's infinity cache, and 16GB of GDDR6 memory. This all fits in a package with a 300W TDP, which is lower than Nvidia's RTX 3080. The new cards also support technology such as DirectX Raytracing, variable rate shading, and the DirectStorage API.
Despite the lower power draw, AMD's performance tests put it ahead of Nvidia's offerings in many games at 1440p resolution and at the highest graphics settings. On top of that, many games can also run at 4K and over 60 frames per second on the card.
