AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT Review

Cyberpunk 2077

Oh Cyberpunk 2077. Rarely has a game promised so much and come out of the gate so absolutely bug-ridden. Thankfully CDPR are working hard to squash most of the bugs, and indeed have, but incredibly ambitious games allied to the world going into lockdown for most of its fine polishing left us all a bit disappointed. It’s still a gorgeous, sprawling title though, which is enough for our purposes. We’re running on the Ultra preset here, as gorgeous – and performance heavy – as it’s possible to make the game with the second graph in Ultra Ray-Tracing mode.

Clearly our earlier experience with the 6000 series Radeon cards remains true as they reach the end of their life. Turn off Ray-Tracing and you get smooth gameplay happy fun times. Following an issue identified with pre-launch drivers in certain scenarios, some tests have been rerun for more representative results.
