Our verdict on the RX 6900 XT
The RX 6900 XT is a top-tier RDNA 2 card with huge VRAM, but its ray tracing performance lags behind the competition.
Get it if you want a fast 4K card with loads of memory that still handles modern games without breaking a sweat. Skip it if you need ray tracing performance or the latest features, as newer cards do that much better.
Buy it if…
- You want high-resolution gaming without ray tracing.
- You need lots of video memory for heavy creative work.
- You're building a high-end PC and hate overpaying for Nvidia.
