AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today introduced the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT
graphics card, providing exceptional performance, stunningly vivid
visuals and advanced software features to redefine 1440p resolution
gaming.
Representing the cutting edge of engineering and design, AMD
Radeon RX 6700 XT graphics cards harness breakthrough AMD RDNA 2
gaming architecture, 96MB of high-performance AMD Infinity Cache,
12GB of high-speed GDDR6 memory, AMD Smart Access Memory3 and other
advanced technologies to meet the ever-increasing demands of modern
games. Delivering up to 2X higher gaming performance in select
titles1 with amazing new features compared to the current installed
base of older-generation graphics cards and providing more than 165
FPS in select esports titles4, the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT graphics
card pushes the limits of gaming by enabling incredible,
high-refresh 1440p performance and breathtaking visual
fidelity.
“Modern games are more demanding than ever, requiring increasing
levels of computing horsepower to deliver the breathtaking,
immersive experiences gamers expect,” said Scott Herkelman,
corporate vice president and general manager, Graphics Business
Unit at AMD. “The AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT graphics card hits the
sweet spot for 1440p gaming. For most gamers still playing on
three-to-four-year-old graphics cards, it is the perfect upgrade
solution designed to deliver incredible visuals and no-compromises,
high-refresh 1440p gaming performance at maximum settings.”
Taking advantage of this incredible performance, more than 40
system builders and OEMs are expected to launch high-performance
desktop PCs powered by the new graphics card. HP is expected to
refresh two desktop gaming systems this Spring – the HP OMEN 25L
and 30L – featuring AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT graphics cards and AMD
Ryzen™ 5000 Series Desktop Processors.
“Gamers are routinely on the lookout for the latest cutting-edge
technologies to excel and immerse themselves in their favorite
games,” said Judy Johnson, gaming platform head, HP Inc. “We’re
thrilled to add the new AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT graphics cards in our
OMEN 25 and 30L Desktops to help power epic adventures across the
globe.”
Exceptional 1440p Performance, Stunning Visuals and
Unmatched Gaming Experiences
The AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT graphics card is built on 7nm process
technology and AMD RDNA 2 gaming architecture, designed to deliver
the optimal combination of performance and power efficiency.
Additional features and capabilities include:
- AMD Infinity Cache – 96MB of last-level data
cache on the GPU die provides up to 2.5X higher bandwidth at the
same power level as traditional architectures5 to provide higher
gaming performance.
- AMD Smart Access Memory –
Unlocks higher performance when pairing AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series
graphics cards with AMD Ryzen 5000 or select Ryzen 3000 Series
Desktop Processors and AMD 500-series motherboards. Providing AMD
Ryzen processors with access to high-speed GDDR6 graphics memory
can deliver a performance uplift of up to 16 percent6.
- 12GB High-Speed GDDR6 VRAM – Designed to
handle the increasing texture loads and greater visual demands of
today’s modern games at higher resolutions and max settings, the
new graphics card with 12GB of GDDR6 of memory allows gamers to
easily power through today and tomorrow’s demanding AAA
titles.
- AMD FidelityFX – Integrated
into more than 40 games and counting, AMD FidelityFX is an
open-source toolkit of visual enhancement effects for game
developers available at AMD GPUOpen. Optimized for AMD Radeon
graphics, it includes a robust collection of rasterized lighting,
shadow and reflection effects that can be integrated into the
latest games with minimal performance overhead.
- DirectX® Raytracing (DXR) – AMD RDNA 2
architecture-based graphics cards are optimized to deliver
real-time lighting, shadow and reflection realism with DXR,
providing a stunning gaming experience. When paired with AMD
FidelityFX, developers can combine rasterized and ray-traced
effects to provide an ideal balance of image quality and gaming
performance.
- AMD Radeon Anti-Lag7 – Now
with support for the DirectX 12 API, AMD Radeon Anti-Lag decreases
input-to-display response times, making games more responsive and
offering a competitive edge in gameplay.
- AMD Radeon Boost8 – Now with
support for Variable Rate Shading, AMD Radeon Boost delivers up to
a 27 percent performance increase9 during fast-motion gaming
scenarios by dynamically reducing image resolution or by varying
shading rates for different regions of a frame, increasing
framerates and fluidity, and bolstering responsiveness with
virtually no perceptual impact on image quality.
“We’re excited to partner with AMD to bring the latest,
much-anticipated entry in the Resident Evil franchise to PC
gamers,” said Peter Fabiano, producer at Capcom®. “With the
powerful Radeon RX 6000 Series graphics coupled with
next-generation features and technologies, including AMD
FidelityFX, raytracing and Variable Rate Shading, gamers can
experience the ultimate fight for survival with visually stunning,
insanely detailed characters and environments and high-performance
gameplay.”
Driving High-Octane Performance with Mercedes-AMG
Petronas Esports Team
AMD also announced a new collaboration with the Mercedes-AMG
Petronas Esports Team, the esports arm of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas
Formula 1 Team. Mercedes has selected the powerful combination of
AMD Radeon RX 6000 Series graphics cards, AMD Ryzen 5000 Series
Desktop Processors and advanced AMD Radeon Software technologies to
power their Esports gaming rigs, delivering the highest framerates,
low-latency gameplay and the smoothest driving experience,
unlocking the drivers’ full potential. AMD delivers an unmatched
competitive edge in virtual racing.
