AMD has just released a teaser image for its upcoming Radeon RX 6000 series GPUs. This image showcases its – likely – high-end RDNA 2 graphics card. Thus, it will give you a glimpse at its overall design.
Take a first look at the design of the new Radeon RX 6000 series. Our upcoming @AMD #RDNA2 graphics cards will feature a brand new cooler design, and you can study every angle yourself on our Fortnite Creative Island. 8651-9841-1639. pic.twitter.com/KGQAOXDivZ

The red team has not provided any additional details about its RDNA 2 graphics cards. All we know is that AMD will officially reveal these new GPUs on October 28th.
We’ve heard numerous rumors about the Big Navi GPUs these past few weeks. Some early synthetic benchmarks were supposedly leaked, however, we don’t consider them that trustworthy. On the other hand, there are reports that AMD may possibly adopt the USB-C connector interface for select Big Navi 21 Radeon GPUs.
It will be interesting to see whether the new RDNA 2 will be able to compete with NVIDIA’s upcoming high-end RTX3080, or its mid-tier brother, the RTX3070.
Stay tuned for more!

screw nvidia lol
ok rajesh
Welcome Back AMD !! i hope there’d be a BIG “BIG” NAVI = 6950 XTX !!!
It is…
Beautiful!
All I want from AMD, is a GPU that at least “competes” with Nvidia.
It doesn’t have to blow it away. It doesn’t even have to match it evenly. Just come very close or better to Nvidia in the same pricing bracket, and don’t run as hot as the sun.
I’ll jump to team red in a heartbeat, if these two conditions are met.
We basically got that with the 5700XT vs 2070 Super. This gen, their biggest requirement is to have good drivers out of the gate. After that, competitive feature set (ray tracing, AI upscaling, etc), performance that competes with the 3080, and a good selection of partner cards close to launch.
I hope it is competitive in performance/pricing up to 3080 performance… But i kinda assume it’s a bit unlikely…
5700 xt can compete with the 2080 super, video proves how garbage nvidia is, lol @ 350 dollar card competing with 700 dollar card, nvidia=horrible price to performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt9h5ckS_xo&t=1s
no it cant
GTFOH it’s about 20% behind in most benchmarks even cherry picked ones it’s 15+.
nope video proves it outperforms the 2080s bro, muchless overclocked
Include this Image as well.
The graphics card features a dual-slot design with three axial fans. The card is also confirmed to feature up to two 8-pin power connectors. This is most likely the Radeon RX 6900XT. The card also features a new Radeon logo.
My guess, 2 x 8 pin, which could mean 80 CUs are coming. 8-pin provides 150 watts, the PCIe slot 75 watts, so 150+150+75= 375 watts TDP, roughly the same as Radeon 7.

Competing with the 3090 is out of the question but maybe it can go head-to-head with the 3080? That’d be really interesting
Hard to comment on that, until we get the full GPU specs, but I don’t expect AMD to compete at least with the RTX 3090.
That would be a tough call, but if AMD surprises us with Big Navi, then this will shake up the whole GPU landscape.
My bet is on the RTX 3070-level of performance though, or maybe closer to the RTX 3080 as well. We will come to know when the cards launch, or if some specs are leaked beforehand.
If they go in the middle (suppousedly there’s a large gap between 3070 and 3080) and price closer to the 3070 that will be good.
Hard to tell a lot about power use by the number of power pins a card has. I had a MSI GTX 970 Gaming card that had an 8 pin and 6 pin connector so that was good for 150 watts plus 75 watts plus 75 watts from PCIe slot for 300 watts total and the card only used around 160 watts in gaming and then there was the R9 295X2 which had two 8 pin plugs for a total of 375 watts but drew 500 watts in average gaming.
Waiting for more info on this GPU.
Yeah indeed. That was just a guess from my side, a rough figure. The actual TDP we will get to know when the card is released, as well as tested by reviewers as well.
But I expect the TDP to be in the same ballpark as the R7 GPU.
makes sense. so does this mean this is a Big navi variant ? I mean maybe other cards may only require one 8-pin, or maybe 6 and 8 both ??
Yup, not all cards are going to require dual 8-PIN cables.
I believe so, Jayztwocents showed a signficantly smaller 2 fan gpu as well, this one with triple plus 2x 8 pins should be the big one.
We cant say what the TDP is but we can say it has to be at least 250W.
AMD will have greater efficiency so this card has to be at least right between 3070 and 3080.
But in my opinion its gonna be a real 3080 competitor – winning in some games and losing in others, I see no reason why 80 RDNA2 CUs wouldn’t be able to do that.
I hope they focused on competing on the level of the 3070 (mid to high entry point) and make like a new 480/580 for the middle class. High end is not worth it, like the 3090 thats only prestige, but for most only dollar to power counts.
Most comments I read when people say AMD “NEEDS” to compete against a 3080 or 3090 is only cause they want these Nvidia card to be cheaper not cause they want a powerfull AMD card.
Glad they already do a tripple fan model.
What’s inherently wrong with those wanting competition against high end cards?.
It’s really weird how we’ve had a taste for high end anything in life, and then there’s the middle to lower customers thinking everyone should stick to their level, like why?.
Yes forcing Nvidia to price cheaper is a win for customers, so I don’t see what’s wrong with that desire either.
I’m more for high end, but not 3090 level.
nothing for you but its just simple. AMD has not exactly the biggest share in the market and High end card have even less share than that. The most cards who are getting sold are low and middle class ones few high and almost none at the high end. So for AMD to get bigger and compete even more against nvidia they need 2 things and surpise its share and money.
Its like telling VW to compete against ferrari in their highest classes. AMD should ground itself as the best for low, mid and can compete for high. After they have a favorable position or just make a gainst breakthrough in tech they should agressive go for high end.
So again you can have a taste for high end but like all high end things the things are rare and cost a lot of money and not every company can compete in that area.
which is why I want to see AMD compete in that area, rather than leaving it alone.
why do you guys lie to yourselves. amd cant compete with the likes of DLSS.

What a way to slap your own anticipated graphics card killer reveal in the face by telling everyone to go on fortnite to check it out. https://media4.giphy.com/media/l2QDTqHp9W7WIJXlC/giphy-downsized-medium.gif
Well that looks like the best cooler AMD ever made. And its a proper high end card judging by the 2 8 pins
wow AMD discovered proper cooling in 2020
all these people that are wannabe pc gamers these days are hilarious, gaming industry needs to crash for it to be real again and get rid of all the flakes..
there’s games from 10 years ago that look better than todays games, multiplatform development killed the industry so did all this microtransaction crap.
AMD is the better price/performance option if you care about gaming only and aren’t into minmaxing specs and tuning a rig for the sake of it.
4K 60 fps is enough, anything else after you hit those numbers is overdoing it. Unless you’re the kind of people that strive for an optimal build (which is a neverending cycle imo, you’ll only be at the top for a few months at best until newer and better components are released) but to each their own .
Buildzoid has a good video up, he had a few interesting takeaways:
-The shroud is “confidence inspiring,” with no blatantly dumb design flaws (think the Radeon logo trapping hot air inside the fins/shroud on the Radeon VII, that’s solved with the exposed fins on the side)
-The two side screws near the bracket are a strong indication that it’s using HBM; this makes sense for an 80 CU card, considering GDDR6X is Nvidia exclusive since they directly worked with Micron to create it
