Sapphire RX 6600 XT Pulse: RTX 3060 is no match in Full HD

Extra tests, Graphics | | Ľubomír Samák

Radeons RX 6600 XT are the most powerful graphics cards with the small AMD Navi 23 core. The Navi 22 in the RX 6700 XT is naturally better, but it still humbles the GeForce RTX 3060 with ease. However, in making this bold claim, it should be clarified that this dominance only works perfectly under certain circumstances – at lower resolutions without ray-tracing. This graphics card, in short, begs for high-speed monitor gamers with FHD resolutions.

Mafia: DE

Test platform custom scene (from the Salieri’s Bar parking lot to the elevated railway gate); API DirectX 11, graphics settings preset High; no extra settings.

Longtime rivals AMD and Intel have established a joint consortium seeking to make their x86 processors and their future extensions more compatible instead of using the differences and exclusive features as (anti)competitive advantages. In autumn they settled on several extensions to be made standard: AVX10/AVX-512, APX, ChkTag, FRED, and also the ACE matrix extension for AI compute, about which very little had been known until now.

Radeon GPU drivers for Linux will finally get HDMI 2.1 support

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

Valve’s incoming Steam Machine gaming PC/console drew new attention to one long‑standing weakness of the Linux ecosystem: HDMI 2.1 support. It works with Nvidia hardware (thanks to closed‑source drivers and firmware), but the open‑source drivers used for Radeon GPUs could not support it because the HDMI Forum did not allow HDMI 2.1 support in open‑source code. However, it looks like this problem may finally be coming to an end. Read more “Radeon GPU drivers for Linux will finally get HDMI 2.1 support” »
