May 7 news, AMD will release a new RX 6X50XT series graphics card on May 10, and the product configuration information and price have been exposed in advance. Foreign media videocardz confirmed the price of the new graphics card, and the price of the three new products has increased, but it will bring stronger performance, bandwidth and power.
The RX 6650XT retails for $399, which is $20 more expensive than the RX 6600XT; the 6750XT costs $549, which is $70 more expensive than the 6700XT; and the 6950XT costs $1099, which is $100 more expensive than the 6900XT. The domestic price of the three old cards is 2999 yuan, 3699 yuan and 7999 yuan, and it is expected that the price of the new card will be 200 to 1000 yuan.
The RX 6X50XT series has increased in price, but the performance has also been greatly improved. WccfTech's 3DMark TimeSpy score showed that the RX 6650XT scored 22,209 points, a 6.5 percent lead over the RTX3090Ti's 20,855 points and a 12.8 percent improvement over the RTX3090. The other two new cards have also improved their performance significantly compared to the competitors in the Nvidia lineup.
Specifically, the RX 6750XT is 7% better than the old card and 2% better than the RTX3070; the RX 6650XT is 2% better than the old card and 23% better than the RTX3060. Of course, this is only based on the running score in the TimeSpy scenario, and does not represent the actual game performance of the graphics card. But it can also be reflected on the side that the performance of AMD's new generation of graphics cards is indeed very strong, not inferior to the RTX30 series.
However, the core specifications of the three new graphics cards have not been greatly upgraded, mainly by increasing the graphics card frequency and video memory bandwidth to achieve performance enhancements, and the corresponding graphics card TBP will also increase. Among them, the reference frequency increases by 51 to 85MHz, the acceleration frequency increases by 19 to 60MHz, and the power consumption increases by 20 to 35W.
Recently, the price of game graphics cards has begun to plummet, and many models are close to the original price, but gamers are not willing to pay for it, and they are afraid to buy refurbished mining cards. AMD chose to squeeze toothpaste at this time to launch a small upgrade of the RX 6X50XT series, perhaps to eliminate everyone's concerns about the possibility of buying a mining card, so that consumers can directly buy a new graphics card.
Not surprisingly, AMD and Nvidia will bring a new generation of graphics products in the second half of the year, and the performance will be greatly improved compared to the current products. At this time, it seems that it is not cost-effective to buy an old card, and friends who are not in a hurry can wait for a few more months, and maybe this year's price will be surprised.
