MSI Radeon RX 6900 XT Gaming Z Trio 16GB GDDR6  Review

DirectX Raytracing (DXR) Adds A New Level Of Graphics Realism To Games Through Effects Like Reflections, Shadows, And Global Illumination At Real-Time Frame Rates On AMD Radeon™ RX 6000 Series Graphics, Thanks To AMD RDNA™ 2 Architecture Support For Hardware-Accelerated Raytracing.The Radeon RX 6900 XT by AMD is the company's fastest GPU from this generation, and the flagship product based on the new RDNA2 graphics architecture that debuted on next-gen consoles, before making it to the PC. This common architecture enables easy optimization of games to the PC platform, as they're already optimized for the console hardware. RDNA2 is AMD's first graphics architecture with full DirectX 12 Ultimate readiness, including real-time raytracing through Ray Accelerators, fixed-function hardware. The RX 6900 XT is based on the same 7 nm "Navi 21" silicon as the RX 6800 series, but maxes it out, with all its 5,120 stream processors enabled, as well as 80 Ray Accelerators, 320 TMUs, and 128 ROPs.Real-time raytracing is the holy grail of consumer 3D graphics, and today's GPU vendors have figured out how to combine conventional raster 3D with certain real-time raytraced elements, such as lighting, shadows, reflections, etc., to significantly increase realism. Even this much raytracing demands enormous amounts of compute power. AMD's approach has been to deploy fixed-function hardware for the most compute-intensive part of the raytracing pipeline, while relying on a mighty SIMD setup for other raytracing-related tasks, such as denoising. A by-product of this approach is vastly improved raster 3D performance. Not only are the stream processors doubled over the previous generation RDNA, but they also run at significantly higher engine clocks.MSI Radeon RX 6900 XT has also doubled the amount of memory to 16 GB and uses the fastest JEDEC-standard 16 Gbps GDDR6 memory, although the bus width is still 256-bit, yielding 512 GB/s memory bandwidth. MSI Radeon RX 6900 XT has worked around the bandwidth problem by deploying a fast on-die level 3 cache directly on the GPU, which it calls Infinity Cache. This 128 MB scratchpad for the GPU, when combined with the GDDR6 memory, belts out an effective bandwidth of 2 TB/s. MSI Radeon RX 6900 XT has also taken the opportunity to update the multimedia acceleration and display I/O capabilities of their GPUs.MSI Radeon RX 6900 XT takes things a step ahead of AMD by giving the RX 6900 XT a powerful VRM solution that pulls power from three 8-pin PCIe power connectors, and using its premium Tri-Frozr cooling solution deployed across all Gaming X Trio graphics cards from both the RX 6000 and NVIDIA RTX 30 series. This cooler features a chunky aluminium fin-stack heatsink, the company's latest generation TorX fans, a blinding amount of RGB bling, and other innovative features, such as a mechanism that counteracts PCB bending. MSI's MSRP for the RX 6900 XT isn't known, but we doubt it's anywhere close to AMD's original MSRP.
