126.7 GPixel/s vs 64.59 GPixel/s; Floating-point performance? Editorial Contacts, Keep up with the latest tech news, reviews and previews by. This generation’s Navi chips are chock full of cutting-edge features. Fabricated at a 7nm node and capable of battling with NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 2060 and 2070 we'll check out how well it holds against the reference card as well. It offers the best Navi performance we’ve seen to date, and it is cooler and more quiet than AMD’s reference design. It has been quite a journey for AMD, but it is the year 2019 and the chip producing industry is ready with their new silicon wafer fabrication at 7nm. The most important aspect, however, is pricing. It has been years since XFX worked with us on a review, it's good to see them back alright. A lower TDP typically means that it consumes less power.

Newer versions of GDDR memory offer improvements such as higher transfer rates that give increased performance. Though the GDDR6 memory has been not been tweaked, the ICs are stock 14 GHz (effective clock-rate) but can be bumped upward towards 15 and maybe even 16 GHz. The graphics card contains two graphics processing units (GPUs). The $440 XFX Radeon RX 5700 XT Thicc II Ultra is a captivating, high-performance muscle car of a graphics card, complete with a chromed-out grille and a gentle roar when it puts the pedal to the metal. You won’t find any RGB lighting on this graphics card, though a pair of blue LEDs indicate that you’ve plugged the 6-pin and 8-pin power connectors correctly into this 210W GPU. Reference first though, Radeon 5700 is a GPU with 2304 stream processors. A lower idle temperature means that the card produces less heat and its cooling system performs better. The $440 XFX Radeon RX 5700 XT Thicc II Ultra is the first custom Radeon RX 5700 XT graphics card we’ve laid hands on, and it screams. The black plastic shroud wraps the edge of the card, providing a glimpse at the aluminum heatsink underneath, while a metal backplate with the XFX logo on the top of the card completes the stark, sturdy look. A higher transistor count generally indicates a newer, more powerful processor. The MSI PS63 is an amazing laptop and I would definitely consider buying one in the future. This time however compared to the reference and PowerColor Red Devil, I was able to squeeze a bit more out of the card than I would have expected. Newer versions can support more bandwidth and deliver better performance. Preview: AMD Radeon RX 6800 (XT) and 6900 XT graphics cards, XFX Radeon RX 5700 XT THICC II Ultra review, XFX Radeon RX 5600 XT (14Gbps) THICC II Pro review, XFX Radeon RX 5700 XT THICC III Ultra review. The board is fed by two 8-pin power connectors and shows a surprise or two as the Ultra version, not only has been fitted with a gorgeous looking cooler, it offers a notch more performance as the team has increased the power allowance towards 210 Watt, so it will have higher sustained boost clocks than the standard THICC II cards that have been seen on sale. The graphics card uses a combination of water and air to reduce the temperature of the card. The GPU game clock is dynamic at 1.6 GHz with a peak boost clock to 1.7 GHz. This generally results in better performance than a similar, single-GPU graphics card. Shading units (or stream processors) are small processors within the graphics card that are responsible for processing different aspects of the image. AMD today will launch the reference products, the AIB card with custom designs and cooling will follow in the weeks to come. Chipsets with a higher number of transistors, semiconductor components of electronic devices, offer more computational power.

Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) is a high-speed interface standard for connecting components, such as graphics cards and SSDs, to a motherboard. We'll start with a product overview in the photo-shoot, but have a quick peek first after which we then head onwards into the review. It is an important factor of memory performance, and therefore the general performance of the graphics card. AMD also introduced helpful software tricks like Radeon Image Sharpening to help get better performance out of your hardware, though Navi does not support real-time ray tracing like the GeForce RTX 20-series. Now drop resistant up to 2 Meters. As the Maserati or BMW of laptops, it would fit perfectly in the hands of a professional needing firepower under the hood, sophistication and class on the surface, and gaming prowess (sports mode if you will) in between.
