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.

Frequency response of sound

Measurements are performed in the TrueRTA application, which records sound in a range of 240 frequencies in the recorded range of 20–20,000 Hz. For the possibility of comparison across articles, we export the dominant frequency from the low (20–200 Hz), medium (201–2,000 Hz) and high (2,001–20,000 Hz) range to standard bar graphs.

However, for an even more detailed analysis of the sound expression, it is important to perceive the overall shape of the graph and the intensity of all frequencies/tones. If you don’t understand something in the graphs or tables below, you’ll find the answers to all your questions in this article. This explains how to read the measured data below correctly.

**With the Sapphire RX 6900 XT Toxic LE, as with the only tested graphics card, the spectral analysis also includes the sound of the water pump.

AMD Releases New Budget CPUs. Even for the AM4 Socket

News, Processors | | Jan Olšan

It looks like whole ten years since the time AMD officially launched the AM4 platform (initially for the Excavator architecture and only on the OEM market, in 2016), a new CPU will now be released for this socket. But not a completely new one. AMD has now released two configurations that did not previously exist, but are based on 2020 and 2022 silicon, and the first of them is coming to the older platform using DDR4.

Next-gen Radeon GPUs: RDNA 5 architecture clock targets leaked

Graphics, News | | Jan Olšan

2027 is approaching with new generations of GPUs, although they will be delayed compared to the previous two-year cycles. AMD has GPUs with the new RDNA 5 architecture coming, which could incorporate fairly major changes compared to today’s RDNA 4 based  GPUs, as well as a new manufacturing process. Thanks to the latter, clock speeds will apparently increase, although perhaps not by as much as one would have expected. Read more “Next-gen Radeon GPUs: RDNA 5 architecture clock targets leaked” »

AMD Chipset Cards Adding PCIe, SATA Lanes Emerge in China

Chipsets, News | | Jan Olšan

Although chipsets are considered a specialized component characteristic of motherboards, a chipset is actually not all that critical (or even required at all) on AMD’s AM4 and AM5 desktop platforms. Chipsets such as the B650 are just bridges that expand PCIe 4.0 (and SATA) connectivity. And as it turns out, they can do this as add-in cards as well. You can even use one to add M.2 or SATA interfaces to an Intel processor. Read more “AMD Chipset Cards Adding PCIe, SATA Lanes Emerge in China” »
