AMD’S TRIFECTA of refreshed RDNA 2 GPUs continues with the Radeon RX 6750 XT, a minor update to the existing RX 6700 XT initially launched in March last year. Over a year later, the main update to AMD’s Navi 22 offering consists of slightly boosted GPU clocks and power limits, coupled with 18Gbps GDDR6 memory. That all sounds fine, but what’s not quite so welcome is the $70 jump in MSRP. Asus has also seen the ante and raised it another $100 for its ROG Strix model, which tacks on another 30W of power and a 43MHz overclock.
In terms of the numbers, relative to the reference 6700 XT, that means you get a 0.7 percent increase in GPU clocks, with 12.5 percent more memory bandwidth, 8.7 percent more power, and a 15 percent increase in price. Then Asus provides an additional 1.7 percent factory overclock and 12 percent more power, with an 18 percent bump in pricing.
