Even if AMD’s focus of the keynote on the CES 2021 was certainly due to the mobile Ryzen processors, there was still at least one other announcement. This affects other GPUs based on the RDNA-2 architecture. This started in mid-November 2020 with the Radeon RX 6800 and Radeon RX 6700 XT and found its preliminary climax in the Radeon RX 6900 XT. All details about the RDNA-2 architecture can be found in the start article on AMD’s latest generation.

For prices from 579 Euro (the street prices are much higher due to the high demand), many are certainly waiting for the smaller models that will follow sooner or later. AMD now talked about notebook solutions as well as other desktop variants that are supposed to cover the market at the bottom.

There are two new reference designs on the associated presentation detect. These have two or one axial fan and since there is no such design so far, we may already see the other models of the Radeon RX – 6000-Series. The card with an axial fan is reminiscent of the AMD Radeon RX Vega Nano, which we in the form of the PowerColor Radeon RX Vega 56 Nano Edition also tested. The reference design never made it onto the market.

For the mobile GPUs, AMD DIRT 5 demonstrated in 1440 p with ultra settings and a smooth gameplay should have been achieved. However, it is difficult to make a real assessment of performance on the basis of this data. In the end it remains to be hoped that AMD will also be able to offer the mobile RDNA-2 GPUs in many notebooks. Mobile versions of the Radeon-RX order book issued, mobile versions of the Radeon RX series were also presented, but they made it hardly in gaming notebooks, which are largely dominated by NVIDIA’s GeForce GPUs.

The Radeon RX – 6000 series and other smaller models are due to hit the market in March. However, AMD itself did not name a period or even a date.
