Review on ASRock Authorized RX 6900 16G by Stanislaw Gluszek ᠌

Initially an unnecessary card that was slightly faster than the RX 6800 (XT) and 3080 and slightly slower than the 3090, but for its price no one needed it. Because it was too unprofitable in terms of performance per for ordinary people, but for enthusiasts there is 3090. So it was until the prices were equal to the mega hashes on the air. And since the memory subsystem with the RX 6800 (XT) is one with a 256-bit bus (compensated by the cache), then they have the same mining performance. At the level of 3060 ti and 3070. As a result, the prices for all these cards - RX 6800 (XT), 3060 ti and 3070, 6900 XT - became almost the same (at the moment)! And then I come across a previously unnecessary video card with gaming performance at the level of 3090 for only 140 thousand, which already competes with 3070 (which was no less than 130k). Yes, and there is in stock (I don’t know, there probably was a delivery. I even tried to distribute reserves for free to combat outbidding, but no one bought) Judging by the tests, the card is much ahead in 2k resolution. Less in 4k, but still decent. So far, I've been able to achieve a stable 60 fps with vertical in absolutely any game (on optimal settings). DLSS and ray tracing is, of course, innovative and interesting. Ray tracing is definitely the future. I had a 3070 (which I decided to change to this one). Nvidia technologies are impressive. But I never played a single game with RTX enabled due to very low performance and not so big changes in the picture. Cyberpunk with RTX, even minimal in decent FPS, does not even pull RTX 3090. DLSS looks great for upscaling, but the original resolution is still better: there are more details and fewer artifacts (especially ghosting, even in DLSS 2.0). It is compared everywhere with TAA, which is not very objective. So for most games, this card is far ahead (3070, not 3080-3090, they are far in a different price category due to mining performance).
