SANTA CLARA, Calif. — 05/10/2022 AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today announ­ced new addi­ti­ons to the AMD Rade­on™ RX 6000 Series pro­duct line: the AMD Rade­on RX 6950 XT — the most powerful gra­phics card in the Rade­on RX 6000 Series fami­ly — the Rade­on RX 6750 XT and the Rade­on RX 6650 XT gra­phics cards.

With a 2.1GHz Game Clock1 cou­pled with 16GB of high-speed GDDR6 memo­ry, the AMD Rade­on RX 6950 XT gra­phics card deli­vers incre­di­ble per­for­mance and breath­ta­king visu­als for the most deman­ding AAA and esports titles at 4K reso­lu­ti­on with max set­tings. The AMD Rade­on RX 6750 XT gra­phics card offers a cut­ting-edge, high-per­for­mance gam­ing expe­ri­ence at 1440p reso­lu­ti­on with max set­tings, while the AMD Rade­on RX 6650 XT gra­phics card offers ultra-smooth, high-refresh rate 1080p gam­ing with max set­tings in the latest titles.

All of the new AMD Rade­on gra­phics cards are built on the breakth­rough AMD RDNA 2 gam­ing archi­tec­tu­re, include pro­cess opti­miza­ti­ons plus firm­ware and soft­ware enhance­ments, and are equip­ped with high-band­width, low-laten­cy AMD Infi­ni­ty Cache™ tech­no­lo­gy and ultra-fast GDDR6 memo­ry at up to 18Gbps. They also sup­port Micro­soft Win­dows 11 and Micro­soft DirectX® 12 Ulti­ma­te, AMD Fide­li­ty­FX™ Super Reso­lu­ti­on (FSR1.0, the forth­co­ming AMD FSR 2.02 and AMD Rade­on Super Reso­lu­ti­on ups­ca­ling tech­no­lo­gies, as well as other advan­ced fea­tures that pro­vi­de visual­ly stun­ning, high-refresh rate gam­ing experiences.

The­re are three bil­li­on gamers world­wi­de and coun­ting, and about half play on PCs3,” said Scott Her­kel­man, seni­or vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, Gra­phics Busi­ness Unit at AMD. “As gamers grow in num­bers, the­se new Rade­on gra­phics cards will pro­vi­de next-level gam­ing expe­ri­en­ces and per­for­mance. And the incre­di­ble effi­ci­en­ci­es of AMD RDNA 2 archi­tec­tu­re deli­ver sub­stan­ti­al­ly bet­ter per­for­mance-per-dol­lar with the new Rade­on gra­phics cards com­pared to the com­pe­ti­ti­on4.”
