The ASUS Radeon RX 6750 XT STRIX OC is an improved version of the RX 6700 XT that comes with faster memory and higher overall clock speeds. ASUS has engineered a powerful thermal solution that achieves fantastic temperatures and includes the idle-fan-stop capability.
MSI's Radeon RX 6750 XT runs whisper-quiet thanks to a well-tuned profile that maximizes the efficiency of the triple-fan, triple-slot thermal solution. Performance is also good, making this an excellent choice for all gamers using the 1440p resolution.
With the Radeon RX 6650 XT priced at a competitive MSRP of $400, AMD is offering a new contender for the 1080p Value King title. Thanks to an improved 18 Gbps memory subsystem, the RX 6650 XT can extend its performance lead over the NVIDIA RTX 3060.
AMD is using a fairly narrow PCIe x4 interface on their Radeon RX 6400 GPU. We're taking AMD's new budget offering for a spin in a PCI-Express 3.0 configuration to determine how big the performance hit will be when running on an older system.
The GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Founders Edition is NVIDIA's mightiest card from the Ampere lineup. We previously looked at various custom designs. Today, we're checking out the Founders Edition to test how well it does in terms of heat and noise, and whether it's an alternative to the even more expensive custom designs.
The AMD Radeon RX 6400 is targeting entry-level gamers wanting to spend less than $200 for their graphics card. Priced at $160, the RX 6400 is the most affordable new release in a long time, but does it have the graphics horsepower to deliver an AAA gaming experience?
The MSI GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is an impressive quad-slot graphics card. In our review, we found that it runs quieter than other RTX 3090 Ti tested today. MSI also included a large factory overclock with their card, which handles 4K60 with ease.
With the ASUS STRIX LC, ASUS is betting big on their liquid-cooled thermal solution. The card itself is more compact than other RTX 3090 Ti models because the cooling magic happens in the radiator. A large factory overclock is included, too, and the power limit adjustment range goes up to 525 watts.
The EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti offers a lot of customization options thanks to its triple BIOS that lets you pick between Normal, OC, and Performance. The massive quad-slot cooler keeps the card at good thermal levels, and the backplate is one of the best we've ever encountered.
Zotac is pricing their GeForce RTX 3090 Ti AMP Extreme aggressively, matching the NVIDIA Founders Edition. You still get a factory overclock, mesmerizing RGB lighting effects, and a large triple-slot, triple-fan thermal solution with dual BIOS.
Today, AMD released their Radeon Super Resolution Technology. RSR is the magic bullet to achieve higher framerates in ALL games; it works on the driver-level, so no special game is support needed, it just works, even on older titles. We've tested it in several games, and the image quality is very impressive, much better than expected.
The Zotac RTX 3050 Twin Edge OC is one the most affordable GeForce RTX 3050 cards available. It comes with a compact but capable cooler that runs very quietly and still achieves good temperatures. What's also included is a small factory overclock and the fan-stop capability.
NVIDIA's RTX A2000 is the fastest graphics card that fits into a low-profile form factor. It's fast enough for 1080p Full HD Gaming at maximum details and achieves that with 75 W slot power only, which makes it even more energy-efficient than AMD's 6 and 7 nanometer RDNA2 graphics cards.
The MSI GeForce RTX 3080 12 GB Suprim X is the highest-clocked RTX 3080 12 GB on the market and almost as fast as the RTX 3080 Ti. The large triple-slot, triple-fan cooler has the card achieve great noise levels of less than 33 dBA, which is excellent for this performance class.
The ASUS GeForce RTX 3080 12 GB STRIX OC brings more than just an additional 2 GB of VRAM over the 10 GB RTX 3080. In our in-depth review, we're checking performance of 25 games and ray tracing performance, and we also measure VRAM usage for each tested game.
The MSI GeForce RTX 3050 Gaming X features a large triple-slot, dual-fan thermal solution that achieves excellent temperatures. Also included is a medium-sized overclock out of the box and the highly popular idle-fan-stop capability.
The ASUS GeForce RTX 3050 STRIX OC is the flagship RTX 3050 from ASUS. Its large triple-slot, triple-fan cooler ensures amazing temperatures and whisper-quiet noise levels. What makes the card stand out is the biggest factory overclock and highest power limit of all the RTX 3050 cards we review today.
