toms hardware RX 6900 XT Shows Itself in Ashes of the Singularity Benchmark

[ENTERPRISE]

Quote

AMD's RDNA2 flagship, the RX 6900 XT, is set to launch by the 8th of December this year, but that hasn't stopped someone from benching the card before launch: APAISK on Twitter has shared the first RX 6900 XT gaming benchmark we've seen on the internet so far. And yes, again, it's an Ashes of the Singularity benchmark run. Disclaimer: Ashes can be very much CPU limited and isn't going to show a top-tier GPU in the best light. With that out of the way:

RX, XT? What's the difference?

in case that's a serious question, the xt is sorta their "extreme" designation. like nvidia's "ti" cards.At least that what it appears to me.

Would be great if the XTs had a higher RT ratio. Beating the 3090 even further in raster performance seems so unnecessary. Even though that's not what this benchmark shows, it looks like it's cpu limited. I'm sure other benchmarks will show the XTs trading blows in raster with the 3090 and falling way behind in RT like what we already have seen.

...genuinely looking forward to the upcoming (December 8th?) 6900XT release and thorough testing by trusted reviewers. I am still wondering about the RX 6K memory bus bandwidth at 4K, and perhaps ray tracing and DLSS though MS is expected to get involved via Direct_ 

 

...then again, having just scoured the web (N.America), no NV RTX 3K or AMD RX 6K available (never mind Ryzen 5900X, 5950X CPUs). Europe and Asia seem to be better supplied, or may be it's an excess demand thing here ?

Stock has been scarce here BUT we do see batches coming in for the 5000 CPU'S.

 

The RTX 30 Series is so so here..a few here and there.

...on the RTX 3K, apart from NVIdia selling a huge chunk directly to miners and other supply getting stolen (both below), I also heard from a regional vendor rep that vendors have been shifting at least some of the scarce supplies to Asian and European markets, given the 'trade war' that developed with the US over the last few years and the related duties vendors have to pay at port of entry. Why bother with that extra hurdle/cost when you can sell all your product elsewhere w/o the hassle 

 

Speaking of Ryzen 5000 batches coming, didn't you pre-order a 5950X for your super Aqua setup ? Any updates you may want to share  ?

Yeah those are factors too. I just hope sometime in 2021 that stock levels improve.. this year has been poor...for obvious reasons...but still poor.

 

Yes that is right. I have the 5950X in my rig now. Installed the latest beta BIOS that allows for adjustment of the PBO via voltage curves. I am hoping to play with that soon. I would like to see how it is as a daily driver with optimized PBO vs an all core OC.

Reading this sitting here patting my 2700x build on the case saying "It's ok! You're still safe for @ least a few more years..."

I need to get better at doing that. To be honest though I have said firmly this is my last AM4 build until AM5 comes out, even then will wait for a couple of generations. So hoping the 5950X will serve me well, do no see why now haha.
