MSI Radeon RX 6750 XT Gaming X Trio review: Super cool mid-to-high-end graphics card with 3 fans

AMD officially launched the refreshed version of the Radeon RX 6000 series GPUs today (10), including RX 6950 XT / RX 6750 XT / RX 6650 XT, corresponding to the top/mid-high/mid-range price points respectively. And what we want to introduce to you this time is the mid-to-high-end MSI Radeon RX 6750 XT Gaming X Trio.

AMD Radeon RX 6700 Series Official Base Specifications

Gaming series is the product line of MSI graphics cards, second only to the SUPRIM series. However, since the Radeon RX 6700 series GPU did not launch the SUPRIM series graphics card, this Gaming X Trio naturally became the highest-end version of the MSI Radeon RX 6750 XT graphics card. Game clock/Boost clock overclocked to 2554 / 2623 MHz respectively.

The MSI Radeon RX 6750 XT Gaming X Trio is equipped with a 3-fan radiator. The body uses 5 square heat pipes that can contact the GPU in the largest area as the heat conduction core. It is matched with wave-shaped aluminum fins that expand the heat dissipation area and reduce wind shear noise. It constitutes the main cooling module. The fan is a fan frame set by connecting the blades two by two, which can effectively gather the airflow and wind pressure, and bring a stronger heat dissipation effect.

A metal bracket and a graphene backplane are added to the front/back of the PCB respectively. In addition to heat conduction, the main function is to strengthen the overall structure and reduce the phenomenon of board bending. Since the length of the PCB only covers about one-third of the third fan, the back panel of the second half is also designed with a hollow design, which allows the airflow to pass through the graphics card and brings better ventilation in the case.

working system	Windows 11 Professional

For the next test, we used the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Founders Edition with a slightly higher suggested starting price (US$ 599) as a benchmark to see where the performance of the MSI Radeon RX 6750 XT Gaming X Trio falls. .

3DMark

In the Time Spy simulation DirectX 12 gaming test, the MSI Radeon RX 6750 XT Gaming X Trio is only slightly behind the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti by about 7% ~ 8%, which looks pretty good.

Ray tracing is the weak point of the Radeon RX 6000 series, the Port Royal simulation ray tracing game is nearly 30% behind, and the pure ray tracing performance of the DirectX Raytracing feature test is only 50% of the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti.

Traditional rasterized games

Thanks to the Radeon RX 6750 XT’s higher operating clock, it will perform better at low resolutions than at high resolutions.

First look at the Full HD environment, except for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, a game that is particularly well-optimized for the Radeon RX 6000 series, which puts the MSI Radeon RX 6750 XT Gaming X Trio ahead of the GeForce RTX The 3070 Ti is 18% behind, and the rest of the games lag behind on average by about 7.7%.

In the WQHD environment, “Assassin’s Creed: Viking Age” only has a lead of about 7%, and the rest of the games lag behind on average by nearly 12%. In the most demanding 4K UHD environment, not only “Assassin’s Creed: Viking Age” did not lead, but the overall average fell behind by 17%.

In terms of competitive shooting games, the MSI Radeon RX 6750 XT Gaming X Trio is roughly 15% ~ 20% behind the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, and only 4K resolution “CS: GO” has a smaller gap.

ray tracing game

Ray tracing has never been the Radeon RX 6000 series GPU’s strong suit, so it’s no surprise that the MSI Radeon RX 6750 XT Gaming X Trio lags behind the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti.

It’s worth keeping one aside, because Far Cry 6 uses a lot of material content, and real-time ray tracing requires a larger amount of display memory, but the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti is only configured with 8GB, so in the The results of 4K resolution are extremely miserable.

Power consumption and temperature

Although the announced full-card power consumption of the Radeon RX 6750 XT is only 250W, which is lower than the 290W of the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, the values ​​detected by the software API during burn-in are only 239W and 288W respectively.

But after we used tools to actually measure the current statistics of the PCIe power terminals and PCIe slots, we found that the MSI Radeon RX 6750 XT Gaming X Trio’s full-card power consumption reached 312W at the moment, and the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti founding version was 322W, and the two The difference is only 10W.

In terms of temperature, we have to praise this three-fan radiator. The maximum temperature of the MSI Radeon RX 6750 XT Gaming X Trio burn-in GPU is only 65°C. Although the operating speed of the memory reaches 18Gbps, the maximum temperature of the burn-in is only 66°C. The fan tops out at around 1500 rpm, is actually pretty quiet, and has a low temperature shutdown mechanism.

Summarize

Although the measured results show that the Radeon RX 6750 XT lags behind the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti in mid-to-high resolution and ray tracing, the low-resolution performance is actually quite unsatisfactory. Moreover, the Radeon RX 6750 XT is equipped with 12GB of display memory, which will have more space in a multi-tasking environment.

Having said that, the price of GeForce RTX 3070 / RTX 3070 Ti graphics cards has risen a lot, and the newly launched Radeon RX 6750 XT will still be attractive in the market if it is priced properly.

The above is the actual test report of MSI Radeon RX 6750 XT Gaming X Trio. If you have more ideas, please leave a message below to discuss.
