Matrix Awakens Demo compiled with new Unreal Engine 5.1 Posted: 21 May 2022 06:24 AM PDT Someone compiled the Matrix Demo with the latest Unreal Engine 5.1 main branch on Github. UE5.1 offers significant improvements such as inclusion of transparent reflections on glass, performance improvements and the integration of DX12 Ultimate. It runs significantly better in my test compared to the builds before. It also includes a settings menu and DLSS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uz-Emj7k1Uc Note: You need a DX12 Ultimate capable GPU to run it (RTX 2000, RTX 3000 and RX 6000 series) submitted by /u/dampflokfreund [link] [comments]

AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT, 6750 XT, 6950 XT Meta Review Posted: 21 May 2022 02:21 AM PDT The benchmark selection for this meta review is significantly smaller, since the highest possible accuracy is important in view of the small differences on these cards. This cannot be achieved by comparing a manufacturer model of the 6950XT with a reference model of the 6900XT. Thus, you only get distorted results about the performance difference of this graphics card. Ultimately, there are only two ways to do this correctly: A comparison purely with reference cards (TechPowerUp). Or a comparison on simulated reference cards (ComputerBase, PC Games Hardware, Quasarzone, TechSpot). Igor's Lab have tried a third way: A comparison of consistently factory-overclocked models from the same manufacturer (MSI). This often delivers similarly good results. However, sometimes the problem arises that the factory overclocking factor is different, which leads to a distortion of the performance difference. compilation of 6 launch reviews with ~1830 gaming benchmarks at all resolutions only benchmarks at real games compiled, not included any 3DMark & Unigine benchmarks geometric mean in all cases standard rasterizer performance without ray-tracing and/or DLSS/FSR stock performance on (usual) reference/FE boards, no overclocking results on factory overclocked cards were marked with an ✲ (all results from Igor's Lab) difference numbers in all cases for the comparison odd/new model (6x00 vs 6x50) for the full results plus some more explanations check 3DCenter's launch analysis   1080p Perf.

Radeon RX 6950 XT Reference vs. factory oc'ed Models from Gigabyte, MSI, Sapphire Posted: 21 May 2022 06:40 AM PDT The various reviews of the Radeon RX 6950 XT made by TechPowerUp now allow a comparison of factory overclocked models versus the reference model by AMD. Only one of the factory overclocked models (MSI) achieved a noticeably better performance, which was, however, connected with a drastically higher power consumption.   AIB Models AMD 6950XT Reference Gigabyte Gaming OC MSI Gaming X Trio Sapphire Nitro+ Pure Review TechPowerUp #1 TechPowerUp #2 TechPowerUp #3 TechPowerUp #4 Dimensions 27 x 12 cm, 3 slots, 1529 g 33.5 x 14.5 cm, 3 slots, 1712 g 32 x 14 cm, 3 slots, 1605 g 32.5 x 13.5 cm, 4 slots, 1576 g Game/Boost Clock & ASIC-Power 2100/2310 MHz & 284W 2116/2324 MHz & ?W 2244/2454 MHz & 332W 2162/2368 MHz & 303W Real Clock avg: 2405 MHz, median: 2404 MHz avg: 2503 MHz, median: 2502 MHz avg: 2520 MHz, median: 2598 MHz avg: 2570 MHz, median: 2600 MHz 1080p Performance 100% +2% +3% +2% 1440p Performance 100% +3% +4% +3% 2160p Performance 100% +3% +6% +4% Power Consumption 341W 389W 436W 381W Temps (GPU/Hotspot) 77 / 94 °C 68 / 86 °C 77 / 95 °C 76 / 91 °C Noise (Load) 32.5 dBA 36.4 dBA 31.4 dBA 29.4 dBA OC Clocks avg: 2521 MHz & 18.6 Gbps avg: 2738 MHz & 18 Gbps avg: 2792 MHz & 18.56 Gbps avg: 2807 MHz & 18.8 Gbps OC Performance +5.2% +7.7%  (+13.7% vs Ref.) +7.6%  (+16.3% vs Ref.) +10.6%  (+16.1% vs Ref.)
