As we can read in Igor’s Lab, There are some interesting facts related to the AMD RX 6900 XT that you can share with us , starting with something that could bother some users, and that is that the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT will have an exclusive launch in the AMD store, which which means that one of these cards cannot be purchased in any other store that we have at our disposal.
It is also explained that it will be available in limited quantities, so it is to be expected that we will find ourselves in a situation similar to what we currently have with NVIDIA, where the stock of its cards it is extremely low. However, based on what we read here, this should only happen with the RX 6900 XT.
On the other hand, as you have seen with MorePowerTool , we can expect GPU speeds of up to 2577 MHz, with medium boost frequencies between 2.3 and 2.4GHz , depending on the cooling of the card. Also, when it comes to overclocking, we could reach up to 2.8GHz without using a modified BIOS.
Regarding consumption, we can see how the GPU has a l power limit of 255 W to 1. 15 V, while if we add the 15% of power limit extension for overclocking, we stand at 293 W , figures that, as expected, require a powerful font .

The second AMD conference this month will take place in a week, during which we will finally get to know the final specification of the Radeon RX family graphics cards 6000 based on RDNA 2 architecture. The closer to the presentation, the more information enters the network. This time, the VideoCardz portal is sharing new reports, which received new parameters of Radeon RX graphics cards from trusted sources 5120 based on the NAVI core 21. As mentioned earlier, AMD plans to launch three graphics cards based on this core this year – NAVI 21 XTX, NAVI 21 XT and NAVI 21 XL. According to the new information, all three variants will have a different configuration, and only the top NAVI 21 XTX will offer a full uncropped core.
More details about NAVI graphics chip specifications 21 XTX, NAVI 16 XT and NAVI 21 XL. Each of them will offer a different configuration of Compute Units blocks. In January, the premiere of the Radeon RX series 6700 with the NAVI core 22.
Looks like only the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT with NAVI core 21 XTX will receive all 80 Compute Units. Smaller Radeon RX 6800 XT and Radeon RX 6800 will have NAVI cores 6700 XT and NAVI 21 XL, which in turn will have active 72 and blocks Compute Units. All three cards, however, will come with 16 GB of GDDR6 VRAM with effective clock speed 16 000 MHz and on 256 – bit bus. Interestingly, some manufacturers of non-reference chips will probably offer the top Radeon RX 6900 XT card with a very high clock speed in Boost mode even up to 2577 MHz. This information was published by igor’s Lab, referring to the early BIOS to which the portal was granted access. The BIOS also features the maximum clock with extreme overclocking using, for example, liquid nitrogen. In this case, the fixed clock is 2800 MHz.

AMD also plans to sell Radeon RX cards 6700, based on the NAVI core 22. Their presentation, however, will take place in January at the earliest, and initially AMD focuses on top cards with the NAVI core 21. In the case of the Radeon RX 6700 XT, we learned that it is to be equipped with 40 CUs and 2560 stream processors. There will also be 12 GB of VRAM per 192 – bit memory bus. Also the Radeon RX 6700 is to use 192 – bit bus, but in this case no other information is known.

A new leak regarding the AMD Radeon RX 6000 has surfaced, suggesting that the Navi 21 XT will use GDDR6 memory modules from Samsung and feature a 320W TBP, while the Navi 21 XL is allegedly coming with lower clocked Samsung GDDR6 modules and with a 290W TBP.
Earlier this week, we reported about a leak claiming that the Navi 21 XT GPU would feature a 255W TGP. To clarify things, for AMD, TGP (Total Graphics Power) is the GPU socket power (GFX, SOC, and VDDCI), while for Nvidia, it’s the power consumption of the whole card. This means that the 255W TGP was referring to how much power the GPU socket consumes in an AIB card, not the whole AIB card.
The new leak from Igor’sLab, refers to the card’s TGP and TBP (Total Board Power), which sums the TGP with the power consumption of the MOSFETs, inductors, capacitors, fans, PCB losses and other smaller components in a graphics card. Igor’s report claims that the Navi 21 XT-based reference graphics cards have a 235W TGP and a 320W TBP, while the factory overclocked cards should come with a 270W TGP and a 355W TBP. The Navi 21 XL-based graphics card will feature a 203W TGP and a 290W TBP. No TGP or TBP values for factory OC cards equipped with the Navi 21 XL GPU were reported.

Regarding the memory, the Navi 21 XT cards will allegedly come with GDDR6 modules clocked at 16Gbps from Samsung (K4ZAF325BM-HC16). On the other hand, the Navi 21 XL cards should be equipped with a similar memory configuration, but clocked at 14Gbps (K4ZAF325BM-HC14).
Availability was also mentioned in Igor’s report, claiming that the first AMD Radeon RX 6000 cards should be available in mid-November, with wider availability as the month ends. Apparently, the board design of the Navi 21-based cards is similar to the current solution employed in the Radeon RX 5700 XT. Given that AIB partners have been working with the RX 5700 XT for quite some time, it’s easier to develop cooling solutions for the new Radeon RX 6000 series.
AMD scheduled the announcement of the Radeon RX 6000 graphics cards for October 28th.
KitGuru says: Are you waiting for the announcement and reviews of the Radeon RX 6000 series before buying a new graphics card?
Apparently AMD wants to prevent possible bottlenecks in the run-up to the start of sales of the new processors and graphics cards – or at least they want to try this. A document sent to the partners contains specific guidelines for the sale of the Ryzen 5000 processors based on the Zen 3 architecture and the Radeon RX – 6000 – Graphics cards based on the Navi-2 architecture.
According to AMD, the launch should be like this “smoothly and successfully” as possible. This primarily relates to the sale or the associated processes – like an inventory sold out in seconds.

The measures proposed by AMD include an automatic detection of bots. In addition to automatic mechanisms, other measures, such as various CAPTCHA implementations, should help. The number of pieces per order should be limited. One graphics card or one processor per customer / purchase with the same name, e-mail and / or address.
If a type of reservation is offered, a queue should be set up. This should be processed sequentially. If a product is no longer available, a notification system should be offered. At the start, the shops should process the orders manually in order to be able to validate them better. In the reseller segment (B2B) there will also be a limit in the first three weeks after the start of sales, from which end customers should benefit, as they should primarily be supplied will take hold remains to be seen. The first four Ryzen 5000 models will be available from November 5th. It is difficult to assess whether there will be bottlenecks here as well. The graphics cards appear
AMD has released a series of of guidelines to avoid the available stock at launch of Ryzen CPU 5000 and Radeon RX GPU 6000 end quickly due to bulk orders by automated systems (bots).
by Manolo De Agostini published 21 October 2020 , at 07: 39 in the Tabs channel Video Radeon RyZen AMD
When you present a product, but then do not allow the interested parties to buy it (for too much demand or low production, that’s not the point), then you run the risk of stain the perception that the public has of that product , whether or not it is valid from a technical point of view.
It is a bit what’s happening to Nvidia with tabs GeForce RTX 3000 , with models so far presented undoubtedly requested and innovative, but at the same time unavailable , so much so that the central theme when speaking of the new proposals is no longer that of performance, but a very limited availability, with many sites that will deliver them between the end of the year and the beginning 2021. Nvidia speaks of an unprecedented request, but among fans the term “ paper launch” is now frequently used, that is a launch on paper, not effective.
AMD doesn’t want to repeat when it’s happening to Nvidia and to this has distributed to the resellers a series of lines guide to follow to avoid as much as possible problems during the purchase phase for those who want to buy a Radeon RX GPU 6000 or a Ryzen CPU 5000. Notwithstanding that this does not mean that everything will necessarily go for the best, it is interesting to see how certain cases “make school”.
The YouTube channel RedGamingTech has unveiled the contents of a document in which you can understand how AMD does not want a “day one” cut down by bots and so unsatisfactory for customers to be transformed into a media boomerang. AMD asks partners to implement mechanisms and tools for real-time detection of bots , in order to block very fast and bulk purchases by the so-called “ scalpers “, or those who buy large quantities of an asset to create a shortage and resell it at prices above the norm. Vultures, in short.
AMD asks to implement a CAPTCHA verification system to determine if the purchase is made by a human or not and also of ” limit purchases at launch to 1 per end user , rejecting subsequent orders containing the same information as name, email address or billing / delivery address “. Another stake is on reservations , with AMD recommending a queue-based notification system , which allows fans to occupy their seat in an imaginary queue to be notified if the product becomes available again and have the time to really buy it.
The company also asks to switch to the “manual” order process at launch, in order to validate the orders adequately with “minimal delays” and also to limit the number of sales of new CPUs and GPUs to companies in the first three weeks since launch . Finally, AMD tells partners to allocate inventory “only when a customer submits an order or sets a time limit on how long a customer can keep our product in their cart. Inform customers that purchases are not guaranteed until when the order is not sent “.
All these countermeasures should safeguard stocks and create less imbalance compared to what Nvidia experienced at the launch of the GeForce RTX 3080 . It is not clear at the moment how many Ryzen CPUs and Radeon GPUs are available in the various shops, so it is not to know if the initial demand will be met thanks to the solutions implemented, we can certainly say that nothing seems to have been left
AMD Big Navi, RX 6000, Navi 2x, RDNA 2. Whatever the name, AMD’s next-generation GPUs are promising big performance and efficiency gains, along with feature parity with Nvidia in terms of ray tracing support. Will Team Red finally take the pole position in our GPU hierarchy and lay claim to the crown for the best graphics card, or will the Nvidia Ampere architecture cards keep the top spots? It’s too soon to say, but here’s everything we know about AMD Big Navi, including the RDNA 2 architecture, potential specifications, performance, release date and pricing.
With Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3090, GeForce RTX 3080, and GeForce RTX 3070 now revealed, and the first two officially launched, the ball is in AMD’s court. There are various ways of looking at the Nvidia Ampere launch. It’s Nvidia doing its best to bury AMD before Big Navi even steps out the door, or Nvidia is scared of what AMD is doing with RDNA 2, or Nvidia rushed the launch to get ahead of the holiday shopping spree, or … you get the point. The RTX 3080 and 3070 appear to be priced reasonably (relative to the Turing launch at least), and demand right now is very high. Frankly, AMD would have likely benefitted if it could have launched Big Navi already, but it has a lot of other balls it’s juggling (like Zen 3).
We’ve done our best to sort fact from fiction, but even without hard numbers from AMD, we have a good idea of what to expect. The Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 hardware are basically a marriage of Big Navi with a Zen 2 CPU, giving us clues as to where Big Navi is likely to land in the PC world. If AMD plays its cards right, perhaps Big Navi will finally put AMD’s high graphics card power consumption behind it. Nvidia’s RTX 30-series cards leave plenty of room for AMD to catch up, considering the 3080 and 3090 have the highest Nvidia TDPs for single GPUs ever. Let’s start at the top, with the new RDNA 2 architecture that powers RX 6000 / Big Navi / Navi 2x. Here’s what we know, expect, and occasionally guess for the AMD’s upcoming GPUs.
Big Navi / RDNA 2 at a Glance
Up to 80 CUs / 5120 shaders
50% better performance per watt
Coming October 28 (confirmed)
Pricing of $549-$599 for RX 6900 XT (rumor, big spoonful of salt)

The RDNA 2 Architecture in Big Navi
Every generation of GPUs is built from a core architecture, and each architecture offers improvements over the previous generation. It’s an iterative and additive process that never really ends. AMD’s GCN architecture went from first generation for its HD 7000 cards in 2012 up through fifth gen in the Vega and Radeon VII cards in 2017-2019. The RDNA architecture that powers the RX 5000 series of AMD GPUs arrived in mid 2019, bringing major improvements to efficiency and overall performance. RDNA 2 looks to double down on those improvements in late 2020.
First, a quick recap of RDNA 1 is in order. The biggest changes with RDNA 1 over GCN involve a redistribution of resources and a change in how instructions are handled. In some ways, RDNA doesn’t appear to be all that different from GCN. The instruction set is the same, but how those instructions are dispatched and executed has been improved. RDNA also adds working support for primitive shaders, something present in the Vega GCN architecture that never got turned on due to complications.
Perhaps the most noteworthy update is that the wavefronts—the core unit of work that gets executed—have been changed from being 64 threads wide with four SIMD16 execution units, to being 32 threads wide with a single SIMD32 execution unit. SIMD stands for Single Instruction, Multiple Data; it’s a vector processing element that optimizes workloads where the same instruction needs to be run on large chunks of data, which is common in graphics workloads.
This matching of the wavefront size to the SIMD size helps improve efficiency. GCN issued one instruction per wave every four cycles; RDNA issues an instruction every cycle. GCN used a wavefront of 64 threads (work items); RDNA supports 32- and 64-thread wavefronts. GCN has a Compute Unit (CU) with 64 GPU cores, 4 TMUs (Texture Mapping Units) and memory access logic. RDNA implements a new Workgroup Processor (WGP) that consists of two CUs, with each CU still providing the same 64 GPU cores and 4 TMUs plus memory access logic.
How much do these changes matter when it comes to actual performance and efficiency? It’s perhaps best illustrated by looking at the Radeon VII, AMD’s last GCN GPU, and comparing it with the RX 5700 XT. Radeon VII has 60 CUs, 3840 GPU cores, 16GB of HBM2 memory with 1 TBps of bandwidth, a GPU clock speed of up to 1750 MHz, and a theoretical peak performance rating of 13.8 TFLOPS. The RX 5700 XT has 40 CUs, 2560 GPU cores, 8GB of GDDR6 memory with 448 GBps of bandwidth, and clocks at up to 1905 MHz with peak performance of 9.75 TFLOPS.
On paper, Radeon VII looks like it should come out with an easy victory. In practice, across a dozen games that we’ve tested, the RX 5700 XT is slightly faster at 1080p gaming and slightly slower at 1440p. Only at 4K is the Radeon VII able to manage a 7% lead, helped no doubt by its memory bandwidth. Overall, the Radeon VII only has a 1-2% performance advantage, but it uses 300W compared to the RX 5700 XT’s 225W.
In short, AMD is able to deliver roughly the same performance as the previous generation, with a third fewer cores, less than half the memory bandwidth and using 25% less power. That’s a very impressive showing, and while TSMC’s 7nm FinFET manufacturing process certainly warrants some of the credit (especially in regards to power), the performance uplift is mostly thanks to the RDNA architecture.

That’s a lot of RDNA discussion, but it’s important because RDNA 2 appears to carry over all of that, with one major new addition: Support for ray tracing. It also supports Variable Rate Shading (VRS), which is part of the DirectX 12 Ultimate spec. There will certainly be other tweaks to the architecture, as AMD is making some big claims about Big Navi / RDNA 2 / Navi 2x when it comes to performance per watt. Specifically, AMD says RDNA 2 will offer 50% more performance per watt than RDNA 1, which is frankly a huge jump—the same large jump RDNA 1 saw relative to GCN.
It means AMD claims RDNA 2 will deliver either the same performance while using 33% less power, or 50% higher performance with the same power, or most likely some in between solution with higher performance and lower power requirements. Of course, there’s another way to read things. RDNA 2 could be up to 1.5X performance per watt, if you restrict it to the same performance level as RDNA 1. That’s pretty much what Nvidia is saying with its 1.9X efficiency increase on Ampere. Again, #salt.
The one thing we know for certain is that RDNA 2 / Big Navi / RX 6000 GPUs will all support ray tracing. That will bring AMD up to feature parity with Nvidia. There was some question as to whether AMD would use the same BVH approach to ray tracing calculations as Nvidia, and with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X announcements out of the way, the answer appears to be yes.
If you’re not familiar with the term BVH, it stands for Bounding Volume Hierarchy and is used to efficiently find ray and triangle intersections; you can read more about it in our discussion of Nvidia’s Turing architecture and its ray tracing algorithm. While AMD didn’t provide much detail on its BVH hardware, BVH as a core aspect of ray tracing was definitely mentioned, and we heard similar talk about ray tracing and BVH with the VulkanRT and DirectX 12 Ultimate announcements.
We don’t know how much ray tracing hardware is present, or how fast will it be. Even if AMD takes the same approach as Nvidia and puts one RT core (or whatever AMD wants to call it) into each CU, the comparison between AMD and Nvidia isn’t clear cut. Nvidia for example says it roughly doubled the performance of its RT cores in Ampere. Will AMD’s RT cores be like Nvidia’s RT Gen1, RT Gen2, or something else? There are at least a few rumors or hints that Big Navi might not even have RT cores as such, but will instead use some optimized shader logic and large caches to boost RT shader calculations. The fact is, we don’t know yet and won’t know until AMD says more.
Note that Nvidia also has Tensor cores in its Turing architecture, which are used for deep learning and AI computations, as well as DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), which has now been generalized with DLSS 2.0 (and DLSS 2.1) to improve performance and image quality and make it easier for games to implement DLSS. So far, AMD has said nothing about RDNA 2 / Navi 2x including Tensor cores or an equivalent to DLSS, though AMD’s CAS (Contrast Aware Sharpening) and RIS (Radeon Image Sharpening) do overlap with DLSS in some ways. Recently, Sony patents detailed a DLSS-like technique for image reconstruction, presumably for the PlayStation 5. It may be possible to do that without any Tensor cores, using just the FP16 or INT8 capabilities of Navi 2x.
We also know that AMD is planning multiple Navi 2x products, and we expect to see extreme, high-end and mainstream options—though budget Navi 2x seems unlikely in the near term, given RX 5500 XT launched in early 2020. AMD could launch multiple GPUs in a relatively short period of time, but more likely we’ll see the highest performance options first, followed by high-end and eventually mid-range solutions. Some of those may not happen until 2021, however.

Potential Big Navi / Navi 2x Specifications
What does all of this mean for RX 6000 / Big Navi / RDNA 2 desktop GPUs? Based on the Xbox Series X, AMD is fully capable of building an RDNA 2 / Big Navi GPU with at least 52 CUs, and very likely can and will go much higher. AMD is also using two completely different GPU configurations for the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, and a third configuration for Xbox Series S, though likely none of those precise configurations will actually end up in a PC graphics card. Regardless, the upcoming consoles give us a minimum baseline for what AMD can do with Big Navi.
AMD has a lot of options available. The PC Navi 2x GPUs are focused purely on graphics, unlike the consoles. AMD also doesn’t benefit from the console sales or subsidies from Sony and Microsoft—each of the new consoles will likely ship close to 100 million units over the coming years, and Sony and MS can take a loss on the hardware because they make it back on software sales. There’s a balancing act between chip size, clock speed, and power, and every processor can prioritize things differently. Larger chips use more power and cost more to manufacture, and they typically run at lower clock speeds to compensate. Smaller chips have better yields, cost less, and use less power, but for GPUs there’s a lot of base functionality that has to be present, so a chip that’s half the performance usually isn’t half the size.
Looking at Navi 10 and RDNA 1, it’s not a stretch to imagine AMD shoving twice the number of GPU cores into a Navi 2x GPU. Navi 10 is relatively small at just 251mm square, and AMD has used much larger die sizes in the past. Anyway, let’s cut to the chase. There have been lots of rumors floating around, but with only weeks separating us from the official Big Navi launch, we’re relatively confident in many of the core specs. A GPU’s maximum CU count can’t be exceeded, but disabling parts of each GPU is common practice and has been for years.
The following table lists potential specs, based on our best information. The question marks indicate our own best guesses based on rumors, previous GPU launches, and the current graphics card market. We’ve run some numbers to help fill in the remaining data, though there’s still plenty of wiggle room for AMD. It’s unlikely AMD will go significantly higher or lower than these estimates, but anywhere within about 10% is feasible.
The highest spec rumors point to a Navi 21 GPU with 80 CUs and 5120 GPU cores, and more than double the size (536mm square) of the current Navi 10 used in the RX 5700 XT. While there are very good sources on the CU and core counts, we’d take the die size with a scoop of salt. It’s entirely possible AMD has gone with a huge die for Navi 21, but if that figure is correct, it’s the biggest AMD GPU since 2015’s Fiji (R9 Fury X).
That also means it’s likely very power hungry, and while some leaks on TBP (Total Board Power) have come out, the way AMD calculates TBP vs. TGP (Total Graphics Power) is a bit muddy. Based on the TBP figures, it looks like AMD will likely have a chip that’s close to GeForce RTX 3080 in terms of power (give or take).
Big Navi / RDNA 2 has to add support for ray tracing and some other tech, which should require quite a few transistors. AMD may also go with very large caches, which would help overcome potential bandwidth limitations caused by the somewhat narrow 256-bit and 192-bit bus widths. Note that Nvidia has opted for a 320-bit bus on the 3080 and 384-bit on the 3090, plus faster GDDR6X memory.
The real question is whether AMD has tuned the shader cores similar to what Nvidia did with Turing, adding concurrent FP32 and INT32 pipelines. If so, performance on the biggest of the Big Navi chips could definitely give the RTX 3080 some needed competition. The ray tracing hardware may still not be up to Turing levels, however, never mind Ampere. Based on some of the information surrounding the Xbox Series X, it seems like the RT support will end up with lower ray/triangle intersection performance than Nvidia’s hardware.
Not surprisingly, clock speeds are all still unknown. So many ‘leaks’ have happened with maximum boost clocks going as high as 2.4GHz, or as low as 1.7GHz. It’s impossible to know for certain where AMD will land, but we’ve aimed at a medium/high value that will deliver the promised performance per Watt gains. TSMC’s N7 process is generally better than the Samsun 8N that Nvidia’s using for Ampere, but then AMD has generally lagged behind Nvidia when it comes to architecture designs (at least for the past seven years).

Getting back to the memory side of things, AMD’s configurations are interesting but leave us with a lot of questions. Most rumors and leaks point to 16GB of GDDR6 for the top RX 6900 XT and RX 6800 XT, but only 12GB for the RX 6700 XT. The memory capacities look good, with all of the GPUs at least matching the RTX 3080, but bus widths and speeds could be a big problem.
If AMD uses 16GB and 256-bit as expected, even with the fastest 16Gbps GDDR6 that’s still only 512GBps of bandwidth. The 6900 XT potentially doubles compute performance of the current RX 5700 XT, with twice the VRAM capacity, and yet it would only have 14% more bandwidth. The 16GB 6800 XT with 14 Gbps GDDR6 would end up with the same bandwidth as the current RX 5700 series, while the RX 6500 would have 8GB and an even narrower bus. Depending on architecture, it could still come close to RX 5700 levels of performance, but we’ll have to wait and see.
This is why many expect Big Navi / RDNA 2 to come with massive L2 caches. Double the cache size and you can avoid hitting memory as hard, which might be sufficient to get around the GDDR6 bandwidth limitations. We’ve also heard ray tracing shader calculations can get a hefty performance boost by adding more cache, and as noted above there are hints this is what AMD is doing. We’ll know more by the end of the month.
Big Navi / Navi 2x Graphics Card Model Names
(Image credit: AMD)
What will AMD call the retail products using Big Navi / Navi 2x GPUs? AMD has at least revealed that the Navi 2x family will be sold under the RX 6000 series, which is what most of us expected. Beyond that, there are still a few remaining questions.
AMD has said it will launch a whole series of Navi 2x GPUs. The Navi 1x family consists of RX 5700 XT, RX 5700, RX 5600 XT, and RX 5500 XT (in 4GB and 8GB models), along with RX 5600/5500/5300 models for the OEM market that lack the XT suffix. AMD could simply add 1000 points to the current models, but we expect there will be a few more options this round.
The top model will almost certainly be called RX 6900 XT, with the various performance tiers as RX 6800 XT, 6700 XT, etc. It also looks like AMD is moving into higher performance segments, going by the 6900 and 6800 model numbers, with the 5600 XT replacement ending up as the 6700 XT. The 5500 XT meanwhile will eventually be replaced by 6500 XT is our assumption, so there’s a 200 point gap between the high-end 6700 and the mainstream/budget 6500.
All of this could of course change, as model names are relatively easy to update (though packaging has to be complete as well). So, the above is what leaks and rumors currently indicate. We expect the consumer models will keep the XT suffix, and AMD can continue to do non-XT models for the OEM market. We think it would be great to have more consistent branding, but we’ll have to see what AMD decides to do.
RX 6000 / Big Navi / RDNA 2 Release Date
AMD has reiterated many times this year that RDNA 2, aka Big Navi—which AMD is even using now in homage to the enthusiast community’s adoption of that moniker—will arrive before the end of 2020. AMD has now announced a Future of Radeon PC Gaming event that will take place on October 28.
AMD could potentially launch the RX 6000 GPUs at that time, but more likely is that it will first reveal the architecture, specs, and other details similar to what Nvidia did with it’s Ampere announcement. That means actual GPUs will probably arrive in November, just in time for the holiday shoppers.
While the impact of COVID-19 around the globe is immense, AMD still plans on launching at least some Navi 2x parts in 2020. However, given the late date of the event, it’s possible we will only see the top two products from RDNA 2 in 2020. It might be more than that, but most new GPU families roll out over a period of several months.
RX 6000 / Big Navi / Navi 2x Cost
(Image credit: AMD)
We provided our own estimated pricing based on the potential performance and graphics card market in the table near the top. We’ve changed those estimates quite a bit since the Nvidia Ampere announcement, as AMD can’t hope to sell slower cards at equal or higher pricing. On the other hand, some rumors suggest RX 6900 XT won’t be far from RTX 3080 performance, so higher prices are certainly possible.
Officially, AMD hasn’t said anything in regards to pricing yet, and that will likely remain the case until the actual launch. Other factors, like the price of competing Nvidia (and maybe even Intel DG1) GPUs, will be considered as well. We can look back at the Navi 10 / RX 5700 XT launch for context.
Rumors came out more than six months before launch listing various prices. We saw everything from RTX 2080 performance for $250 to $500, or RTX 2060 performance for under $200. AMD officially revealed prices of $449 for the RX 5700 XT and $379 for the RX 5700 about a month before launch.
After the initial RX 5700 XT reveal, Nvidia (to the surprise of pretty much no one) launched its RTX 2070 Super and RTX 2060 Super, providing improved performance at lower prices. (The RTX 2080 Super was also announced, but it didn’t launch until two weeks after the RX 5700 series.) Just a few days before launch, AMD then dropped the prices of its RX 5700 XT to $399, and the RX 5700 to $349, making them far more appealing. (The RX 5600 XT arrived about six months later priced at $299.) AMD would later go on to state that this was all premeditated—gamesmanship to get Nvidia to reveal its hand early.
The bottom line is that no one, including AMD itself, knows what the final pricing will be on a new graphics card months before launch. There are plans with multiple contingencies, and ultimately the market will help determine the price. We now have Nvidia’s Ampere pricing of $1,499, $699, and $499 for the 3090, 3080, and 3070, respectively. Only AMD knows for sure how RX 6000 stacks up to RTX 30-series in performance, and it will tweak prices accordingly.
There are also multiple reports of a 500mm square or larger die size, and if that’s correct we have to assume Big Navi / Navi 2x graphics cards will go after the enthusiast segment—meaning, $600 or more. TSMC’s 7nm FinFET lithography is more expensive than its 12nm, and larger chips mean yields and dies per wafer are both going to be lower. Plus, 16GB and 12GB of GDDR6 will increase both the memory and board price. Big chips lead to big prices, in other words.
The only real advice we can give right now is to wait and see. AMD will do its best to deliver RDNA 2 and Navi 2x GPUs at compelling prices. That doesn’t mean we’ll get RTX 3080 performance for $500, sadly, but if Big Navi can give Nvidia some much-needed competition in the enthusiast graphics card segment, we should see bang-for-the-buck improvements across the entire spectrum of GPUs. And if AMD really does have an 80-CU monster Navi 21 GPU coming that will match the RTX 3080 in performance, we expect it will charge accordingly — just like it’s doing with Zen 3 CPUs now that it appears to have a clear lead over Intel.
Big Navi and RX 6000 Closing Thoughts
AMD has a lot riding on Big Navi, RDNA 2, and the Radeon RX 6000 series. Just like Nvidia’s Ampere, AMD has a lot to prove. This is the GPU architecture that powers the next generation of consoles, which tend to have much longer shelf lives than PC graphics cards. Look at the PS4 and Xbox One: both launched in late 2013 and are still in use today. There are also still PC gamers with GTX 700-series or R9 200-series graphics cards, but if you’re running such a GPU, we feel for you.
We’re very interested in finding out how Big Navi performs, with and without ray tracing. AMD’s RX 6000 performance teaser only serves to whet our appetites. 50% better performance per watt can mean a lot of different things, and AMD hasn’t shied away from 300W GPUs for the past several generations of hardware. A 300W part with 50% better performance per watt would basically be double the performance of the current RX 5700 XT, and that’s enough to potentially compete with whatever Nvidia has to offer.
Realistically, AMD’s 50% PPW improvements probably only occur in specific scenarios, just like Nvidia’s 90% PPW improvements on Ampere. Particularly for the higher performance parts, we’re skeptical of claims of 50% improvements, but we’ll withhold any final judgement for now. About all we can say is that Nvidia has left the door open for AMD to walk through.
We also hope AMD will manage to avoid the shortages that have plagued Nvidia’s RTX 3080 and 3090 cards. Part of that comes from demand for new levels of performance, so AMD will need to keep pace with Ampere if it hopes to see similar demand. Also, every Ampere GPU purchase prior to Big Navi’s launch means one less buyer for AMD’s GPUs. Still, TSMC can only produce so many N7 wafers per month, and AMD has Navi 10 chips still in production, along with Zen 2 and Zen 3 CPUs, and now Navi 2x. Add in wafers from other companies (Apple, Nvidia, and Intel are all using TSMC N7) and we could see Big Navi shortages until 2021.
Without actual hardware in hand, running actual gaming benchmarks, we can’t declare a victor. Give it another month and we should have all the final details and data in place. The last months of 2020 are shaping up to be very exciting in the GPU world, which is good as the first part of 2020 sucked. Considering it’s been more than a year since AMD’s Navi architecture launched, we’re definitely ready for the next-gen GPUs.
The German website Igor’s Lab talks about consumption and memory of the new Radeon RX video cards 6000 that will be presented by AMD next week in view of availability starting from mid-November .
by Manolo De Agostini published 20 October 2020 , at 12: 31 in the Video Cards channel AMD Radeon Ships
Hours go by and rumors about the new ones Radeon RX 6000 increase. After the latest rumors on the operating frequencies of the cards, there is debate on the consumption of the new AMD proposals. In the past few hours it was rumored of a TDP of approximately 255 W for Ships 21 XT, code name of the next top of the range. In reality, that value, as reported by Igor’s Lab, would not take into account all the power components and other elements on the PCB. The value for the entire sheet would therefore be approximately 320 W , and not 255 W, the same figure indicated by Nvidia for the GeForce RTX 3080.
According to the German website, i 320 W of AMD’s reference solutions should rise to approximately 355 W as regards the custom proposals of the partners . Igor’s Lab also adds that there will be a card equipped with a Navi GPU 16 XL , “throttled” version of Navi 21 XT, with a consumption of 290 W. We will see, in the meantime it is good to remember that the performance of what AMD has called “Big Navi” (Navi 21 XT) would seem similar to those of the RTX 3080, even if there are some questions: we do not know if the data released by AMD refer to the real top of the range, and we must not forget that the test was carried out with a Ryzen 9 5900 X, CPU that should give a good performance boost in gaming compared to the current solutions with which the RTX was tested 3080 .
Another detail that we learn from the German site is that le Radeon RX 6000 with Navi GPU 21 would use Samsung memory at 16 Gbps (K4ZAF 325 BM-HC 16), or 14 Gbps in the case of Ships 12 XL. Finally, as regards the availability of the cards, Igor’s Lab reports that the first custom will arrive in mid-November in view of greater availability at the end of the same month , confirming previous rumors.
The system requirements for Amnesia: Rebirth released today are the first time that Xe-HPG has appeared outside of Intel’s presentations.
Intel has already introduced Xe-based graphics cards in the Tiger Lake notebooks, but other models will have to wait until next year. The Xe family includes four microarchitectures: the Xe-LP for integrated and media servers, the Xe-HPG for gaming on separate graphics cards, the Xe-HP for data centers, and the Xe-HPC for supercomputers.
Intel’s Xe-HPG architecture is currently officially known to combine the best features of all other Xe architectures for gaming, support beam tracking acceleration, and will be manufactured by an external semiconductor manufacturer, most likely TSMC. The first Xe-HPG graphics cards with GDDR6 memory are expected next year.
Now an interesting detail has appeared on Steam. The system requirements for Amnesia Rebirth list not only AMD and NVIDIA, but also Intel graphics cards. The minimum requirements for the game include the familiar HD Graphics 630 graphics driver, but there is an unspecified Intel Xe-HPG on the side of the recommended graphics cards. Other recommended graphics cards for the game are AMD’s Radeon RX 580 and NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 680.
The most hasty speculators have interpreted this to mean that at least one Xe-HPG model is in the same speed range as the above-mentioned AMD and NVIDIA graphics card
The AMD Radeon Pro V7350X2 might not have made it to the market, and even if it had it wouldn’t have been one of the best graphics cards. However, someone clearly has a working sample and is playing with it. Hardware detective @Komachi_Ensaka recently uncovered GFXBench 5.0 benchmarks for the never-released graphics card.
As the name clearly suggests, AMD tailored the Radeon Pro V7350X2 toward the professional and workstation markets. The graphics card existed in an age where slapping two GPUs onto a single PCB to bolster the overall performance was more acceptable. For this same reason, the Radeon Pro V7350X2 reportedly leveraged not just one but two Ellesmere (aka, RX 480) dies, which GlobalFoundries fabricated for AMD on the 14nm process node.
Individually, the each GPU looked mundane with just 2,304 Stream Processors (SPs) and 16GB of GDDR5 memory. In unison, however, the Radeon Pro V7350X2 had 4,608 SPs and 32GB of GDDR5 memory at its disposal. The memory was clocked at 7 Gbps and, across a 256-bit memory interface, put out a memory bandwidth up to 224 GBps.

The Radeon Pro V7350X2 might date back to the Polaris days, but the dual-GPU could probably hold its own against today’s more modern offerings. Actually, the Radeon Pro V7350X2’s performance isn’t too bad. Out of the 11 available results from the GFXBench 5.0 onscreen tests, the Radeon Pro V7350X2 outpaced the Navi-powered Radeon Pro W5500 in four of them, so it wasn’t a completely one-sided victory.
Certainly, the Radeon Pro V7350X2 looks outdated beside the Radeon Pro W5500 considering that the dual-GPU has more than three times the number of SPs and up to four times the memory. Not to mention that the Radeon Pro V7350X2 seemingly has a 200W TDP (thermal design power), while the Radeon Pro W5500 only carries a 125W rating.
However, we have to bear in mind that AMD’s Ellesmere is based on the old-school Polaris graphics architecture. Obviously, its performance and power efficiency are nowhere near what Navi offers. If it did, AMD wouldn’t be where it is right now in the graphics game.
Radeon Pro V7350X2 isn’t something that anyone would pick up in this day and age, and it’s not like the graphics card is widely available anyways. It was still interesting to see what kind of performance the Radeon Pro V7350X2 would have brought to the table if AMD didn’t get cold feet.
AMD has published the drivers AMD Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 20. 10. 1 beta with support and optimizations for the new Watch Dogs: Legion, in addition to the titles Word of Warcraft: ShadowLands Pre-Patch, DiRT 5 Early Access and Doom Ethernal: The Ancient Gods.

Computer Engineer by training, editor and hardware analyst at Geeknetic since 2011. I love gutting everything that comes my way, especially the latest hardware that we get here for reviews. In my spare time I fiddle with 3d printers, drones and other gadgets. For anything here you have me.
There is less than a month until the premiere of Cyberpunk 2077. The RPG of the Polish studio CD Projekt RED has already been “gilded”, numerous gameplay shows are behind us, and the expectations for the game are blown to the limit. However, new information about the upcoming production is still coming to the network. Thanks to the latest issue of PC Gamer magazine, we learned more technical details about the solutions used. Jakub Knapik, art director responsible for visual effects and lighting system at CD Projekt RED, revealed that ray tracing in Cyberpunk 2077 will be available on premiered only on GeForce RTX cards 2000 and 3000 and the GeForce NOW cloud service. This is a big blow to AMD and future Radeon RX owners 6000, who will have to wait for the addition of support (hopefully not to 2021, until the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions are released).
Cyberpunk Ray Tracing 2077 will only be available for release on GeForce RTX cards . The game also uses the JALI system based on artificial intelligence to simulate facial expressions, thanks to which it was possible to achieve the same effect in different language versions.
Cyberpunk 2077 – hardware requirements. You do not need a PC from the future
Jakub Knapik explained the difference between traditional global lighting and that based on ray tracing: “we have implemented a hybrid engine (RED Engine 4 – ed.) ray tracing. This means that some systems can be replaced with ray tracing systems. For example, our main global lighting system uses light from the sky, the sun, and other light sources that generate them dynamically. In ray-traced mode, we only use global illumination techniques to create light reflections, while the main light from the sky uses ray tracing solutions, which increases the realism and detail of the scene. ” What’s more, CD Projekt RED has also implemented in-game internal systems for e.g. dynamic simulation of clothes and fluids, multi-layer shaders and improved use of asynchronous computing (the game requires a graphics card supporting DirectX for a reason 12).
Cyberpunk 2077 – style above all else? Here are the vehicles and mods in the game
One of the goals that the creators of Cyberpunk set themselves 2077 , it was to create realistic facial expressions and better synchronization of the mouth movements than in The Witcher 3. It was decided to use the JALI system in the game, based on machine learning software to automate facial animation. As Sebastian Kalemba, head of the animation department at CD Projekt RED revealed, “capturing facial movements for every character in the game is impossible”, especially for many language versions. JALI turned out to be a remedy for all difficulties, because it not only facilitated the entire process of mapping face and mouth movements, but also allowed for full control and manual corrections in animations, if necessary, in each of the ten languages in which Cyberpunk will be available 2077. You can see the effects in the video above. We will see what it will look like in practice 19 November 2020 of the year on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, when Cyberpunk premieres 2021.
The most significant new driver updates include official support for the upcoming Doom Eternal add-on, Watch Dogs: Legions, the Early Access version of Dirt 5, and the World of Warcraft Shadowlands pre-update.
AMD has released new drivers for its graphics cards and APUs. Radeon Software Adrenalin 2020 Edition 20. 10 .1 drivers are available for Windows 7 and 10 and support all graphics cards and APUs based on the company’s GCN and RDNA architectures.
Radeon Software 20. 10 The most significant driver updates are official support for Doom Eternal’s upcoming The Ancient Gods add-on, Watch Dogs: Legions, Dirt 5’s Early For the Access version and the pre-update for World of Warcraft Shadowlands. Release notes do not indicate possible changes in performance.
As usual, the drivers also fix problems with previous releases. Fixed bugs this time include audio issues when audio is output from an RX 5000 series graphics card to an amplifier with an HDMI cable, screen refresh rate throws when a game using the Vulkan interface is closed and two or more FreeSync screens are used, and Genshin Impact – non-recognition of the game by Radeon Software. There are only three known driver issues listed: Enhanced Sync with some configurations
October is definitely the month of AMD. The official presentation of Ryzen processors 5000, which will go on sale on November 5, is behind us, and in just over a week there will be an official announcement of AMD Radeon RX graphics cards 6000, which are to compete on the market with GeForce RTX systems 3000. Will there be the same availability issues? The German service Igor’s LAB revealed when to expect new Red cards in stores, and also referred to the energy consumption of the Big NAVI system. If anyone counted that the new Radeons would provide lower power consumption than the GeForce RTX 3080 and RTX 3090, it was wrong. Recent reports suggest that it will be similar to what NVIDIA offers in its cards.
Store premiere of non-reference Radeon RX graphics cards 6000 is expected to take place in mid-November at the earliest, with greater availability at the end of the month. We also learned that the top NAVI systems 21 will have energy consumption exceeding 300 W.
AMD Radeon RX 6000 – new information about graphics cards
A few days ago we wrote in PurePC that you should expect AMD Radeon RX 6000 high TGP (Total Graphics Power). However, it does not mean the same as in NVIDIA systems and the full NAVI power consumption is also to exceed 300 W. AMD uses then the term TBP (Total Board Power). Over 200 W will download the graphics core. According to the Igor’s LAB portal, the NAVI 21 XT can have a total power consumption of 320 In (reference model) and 355 In (non-reference models).
