The Card

Visually, the Radeon RX 6950 XT reference design looks nearly identical to the RX 6900 XT reference card. The only difference seems to be that the gray highlights of the metal frame have been replaced with a black version, which greatly improves the look and feel of the card in my opinion. Oh, and the red trim along the top of the card, near the Radeon logo, has been removed. On the back, you'll find a high-quality metal backplate.


Dimensions of the card are 27 x 12 cm, and it weighs 1529 g.


Installation requires three slots in your system.


Display connectivity includes two standard DisplayPort 1.4, one HDMI 2.1, and one USB type-C with DisplayPort passthrough.


The card has two 8-pin power inputs. This configuration is rated for up to 375 W of power draw.


The AMD Radeon RX 6000 series doesn't support multi-GPU.

Teardown

As the sample is on loan from a loyal TPU reader, we won't be doing a teardown of the card to keep the warranty seal intact.

Considering that the exterior looks and weight arenearly the same as the RX 6900 XT reference card, there's no reason to expect significant changes to the cooler's design outside of the color theme. As mandated for the Radeon RX 6950 XT, the memory chips will be Samsung K4ZAF325BM-HC18 at 18 Gbps, instead of the Samsung K4ZAF325BM-HC16 at 16 Gbps on the RX 6900 XT reference.
