I have to admit that the price of high-resolution monitors equipped with 2K and 4K is really very cheap. However, for small partners who love to play games, after replacing the new monitor, the ensuing "graphics card crisis".
Prior to this, the 1080P resolution could easily stabilize more than 60 frames of games, and it became unbearable after changing to 2K and 4K resolutions. The good news is that the price of graphics cards has been reduced a lot, and users in need can consider starting. This RX6800 "Game Master PB" graphics card produced by Infocom is just very suitable for the type of user group mentioned earlier.
Design:
When I first saw this Yingtong RX6800 "Game Master PB" graphics card, my heart was actually more contradictory. On the one hand, the heat dissipation surface uses a common black matte shell, which is slightly mediocre to look at alone; but on the other hand, the center is added to a rare pink-purple "small coat", especially with the four LED lights of the same color next to it, the temperament instantly becomes different. As for whether it is good or not, I personally think it is OK, what do you think?
But unfortunately, the RGB color of the graphics card does not support replacement adjustment and shutdown, which may bring some difficulties to the unified construction of the whole DIY machine.
The graphics card adopts the flagship three-fan design, the official claim that three 9cm large-size ball fans have been designed and polished many times to improve the heat dissipation efficiency, with the internal 6 6mm heat pipes and a large area of aluminum heat dissipation fins, can ensure the performance of the graphics card under long-term operation of stable output.
Of course, the graphics card also supports fan intelligent start-stop technology. Get a zero-noise experience when you don't need the power of the graphics card.
The back is a large area of metal backplane, which can completely wrap the graphics card PCB board with multiple heat dissipation holes, and at the same time play a role in protecting and assisting heat dissipation.
The power supply design of The Infocom RX 6800 "Game Master PB" graphics card is 10+3 phases, the interface is designed with dual 8Pin, and the official recommendation is to choose a power supply of more than 750W power to use.
In terms of video output interface, it provides 3 DP 1.4 interfaces and 1 HDMI 2.1 interface, which is also the mainstream specification of high-end graphics cards.
Performance testing:
Thanks to the new AMD RDNA 2 architecture used by AMD Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards, combined with 60 enhanced computing units, the new Infinity Cache and 16GB GDDR6 memory capacity, the performance of the Infocom RX 6800 "Gaming Master PB" is quite powerful.
The flagship RX 5700XT graphics card of the previous generation is used as a reference, and the comparison platform is the familiar 3DMark. Judging from the test results, this Infocom RX 6800 "Gaming Master PB" graphics card has increased by more than 50% compared with the previous generation of RX 5700XT graphics cards.
In addition, the RX 6000 series introduces ray tracing capabilities, and in 3DMark Port Royal related tests, the running score is between the RTX2080 Super and the RTX 3070.
Not only is it a performance boost, the RDNA 2 architecture also makes graphics cards consume less power. Measured FurMark donut copy machine test, the silent frequency peak power consumption of the entire graphics card is only about 200W, compared with the previous generation of RDNA architecture flagship graphics card 250W-300W power consumption level is indeed a lot of improvement. After about ten minutes of copy machine testing, the GPU temperature was maintained at 82 °C, and the operating frequency was close to 2GHz.
Twenty consecutive 3DMark Time Spy stress tests were easily passed with a score of 99.6%. It can be seen that this graphics card is still quite reliable in terms of stability.
Game Test:
Test Platform:
Processor: AMD Ryzen™ 7 5700X
Motherboard: ASUS B550M heavy gunner
Memory: Viagrand 16GB 3200MHz DDR4 memory
Hard Drive: Western Digital SN550 1TB
Power supply: Xingu GP750G
System version: WIN10 21H2
The first test was the recently popular "Forever Doomed", and the picture quality options were all open. The hardware requirements of this game at high resolution are relatively high. In the 2K resolution test, the frame count when the character is running can be stabilized between 90-100 frames. After the resolution is increased to 4K, the frame rate can also be stabilized between 50-60 frames throughout the process, and the overall performance is still relatively satisfactory.
Another, better known PUBG, performed better. Under the measured full-width picture quality, under the 2K resolution, the aircraft can reach about 270-280 frames, and the frame number is also about 130-140 frames after landing, and after switching to 4K resolution, it drops by about 20 frames. If you want to match the 2K 144Hz specification of the gaming monitor, the Yingtong RX 6800 "Gaming Master PB" graphics card can still be satisfied.
In terms of testing the AAA masterpiece, it is natural to invite our old rival "Cyberpunk 2077". Under the preset of 2K+ "Super" quality, the frame rate can reach 60-70FPS, and the performance is still very satisfactory. What about switching to 4K resolution? Cyberpunk 2077, which is less than 40 frames and is indeed 4K fully open-picture quality, is indeed a bit difficult to deal with. However, fortunately, the new version of the update supports the AMD FSR function, similar to NVIDIA DLSS technology, which achieves the effect of doubling the frame rate without compromising the image quality. When turned on, it can also reach 83 frames at 4K resolution, and other games that support AMD FSR technology are also suitable.
The other is the AAA blockbuster "Eldon's Ring of Law", which has been highly discussed this year. Because the upper limit of the frame number of this game can only reach 60 frames, so the author directly tested the number of game frames under the 4K resolution full open picture quality, the result is that the Yingtong RX 6800 "game master PB" can easily ensure that the game is stable 60 frames of screen effect, and the small partners who want to try this game can be bold and assured.
summary:
If you're looking for a graphics card for all-you-can-eat 2K resolution, or even 4K resolution gaming, this Infocom RX 6800 "Gaming Pro PB" is perfectly competent. The new RDNA2 architecture provides powerful performance support, as well as far better power consumption than the previous generation, coupled with Infocom's luxurious thermal stack, which is an excellent graphics card worth starting with.
