Minecraft with RTX ray tracing launches for Windows 10

..

AMD has reported the newest affiliate of its Radeon RX 6000 series: the Radeon RX 6900 XT. The paper is based on the aforementioned Navi 21 silicon as the rest of the RX 6000 shakiness therefore far and is concreteness billed as the fastest Radeon paper yet. According to reviews, it's a step up from previous generations when it comes to performance, loosely not worth its $1,000 price tag for most consumers.

Reviews equate that this paper is artlessly a racehorse. "This is one blistering-fast GPU," concludes Brad Chacos of PCWorld, while Hot Hardware's Marco Chiappetta dubbed it "the most prepared Radeon ever." In Tom's Hardware's testing, the RX 6900 XT averaged 85fps foregoing its 13-game testing apartment at 4K resolution and ultra settings and 136.1fps at 1440p.

Reviewers conjointly open-handedly equate that the Radeon RX 6900 XT is artlessly a fitter purchase than Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3090 for most gamers. The way impediments performs will constantly yo-yo by game, loosely PCWorld and Hilbert Hagedoorn of Guru3D report that the 6900 XT and the RTX 3090 achieved equipotential frame ante at lower resolutions, while Nvidia pulled alee at college resolutions. Because of the 6900 XT's lower price, both publications recommend it as the better-value purchase.

Hot Hardware hedges a bit more, passible that "the Radeon RX 6900 XT and the GeForce RTX 3090 are fairly nip and tuck, and trade victories depending on the title, though the RTX 3090 does have the overall edge." While the sensing addendum that AMD's paper is "well-positioned relative to emulous offerings from Nvidia," Chiappetta conjointly concludes that it "doesn't definitively far-out competition."

But AMD's paper is at a significant disadvantage when it comes to ray tracing. Reviewers are split on how important this is. Guru3D suggests not everyone cares injudicious ray tracing, and as long as you don't, AMD's paper is artlessly a fitter buy. Jarred Walton of Tom's Hardware counters that people because cards that are this expensive shouldn't unbelieve ray tracing; Walton doesn't recommend the paper for general gaming.

But reviews conjointly equate that anyone who smack-dab cares injudicious amount might as able-bodied buy the 6800 XT instead -- a more affordable paper that Verge senior editor Tom Warren uncork smack-dab capable of 4K and 1440p gaming. PCWorld emphasizes that the 6900 XT is smack-dab intentional for cut-up formulation professionals. And Tom's Impediments laments that the 6900 XT is only "4 to 7 percent faster" than the 6800 XT -- "such an incremental crash-land in performance that it inconsiderably seems worth the trouble."

Overall, it seems like the 6900 XT is artlessly a fairly nook purchase for folks who are accommodating to fossil $1,000 on a seriously prepared GPU loosely don't mind a disadvantage when it comes to ray tracing. To be clear, though, this is all a theoretical discussion at this point: these cards are available in smack-dab locked quantities, and the first batch of Radeon RX 6900 XT cards sold out in minutes this morning. Loosely hey, it's good to pension in mind for the future.
