Radeon RX 6900 XT vs Radeon RX 6950 XT benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon RX 6900 XT GPU is faster than the Radeon RX 6950 XT in gaming.

In our comparison, the Radeon RX 6950 XT has a slightly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture. In addition, the Radeon RX 6950 XT also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

As stated by the manufacturer, they both have the same amount of memory at 16 GiB. Lots of memory is good when playing at high resolutions or with many monitors.

In addition, the Radeon RX 6900 XT has a slightly lower TDP at 300 W when compared to the Radeon RX 6950 XT at 335 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

In terms of raw gaming performance in our GPU benchmark, the Radeon RX 6900 XT is better than the Radeon RX 6950 XT.
