MagyarMSI Radeon RX 6950 XT Gaming X Trio 16G desktop GPU review: Last-gen high-end GPU in battle against RDNA3 and Ada Lovelace
Detailed look at the MSI Radeon RX 6950 XT Gaming X Trio 16G
After comparing RDNA3 and Ada Lovelace, we now know more about how well the new high-end graphics cards perform. The warehouses of retailers are often still filled with "older" GPUs. Occasionally, you might be able to get a really great deal on these products. That is why we are taking a look at the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT and letting it go head-to-head against the new high-end models once more.
For this review, we are using a Radeon RX 6950 XT made by MSI. The MSI Radeon RX 6950 XT Gaming X Trio 16G looks very different from AMD's reference design. Performance-wise, the MSI card has slightly more headroom thanks to its 340-watt TDP, which in turn also raises the GPU's maximum boost clock. The card is fairly long at 32.5 cm (12.8"). This is something you need to factor into your purchase decision. It also takes up three slots when installed; a triple-slot design has already become the standard amongst modern high-end GPUs. Power is supplied to the card via three trusty 6+2 pin connectors.

Synthetic benchmarks and compute performance
The MSI Radeon RX 6950 XT Gaming X Trio 16G holds up remarkably well even almost one year after its launch and isn't completely left in the dust by the new high-end GPUs. In a direct comparison, our review unit is neck and neck with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti. The Radeon RX 7900 XT is around 11 per cent faster and the XTX model, which is based on the new RDNA3 architecture, runs roughly 25 per cent faster. Overall, the RX 6950 XT is powerful enough to hold its own against last-gen graphics cards.
A similar picture emerges when it comes to render tests and professional applications. Despite this, the MSI Radeon RX 6950 XT Gaming X Trio 16G delivered excellent performance in some cases. Depending on the application, it is even able to keep up with the RTX 4080. Unfortunately, GPU acceleration in Affinity Photo 2 is not a strong suit of the AMD graphics cards at all.

The MSI Radeon RX 6950 XT Gaming X Trio 16G undoubtedly still has superb performance right now. But the GPU can no longer keep up with the newer cards in terms of efficiency. During our tests, our system required almost as much power when fitted with the MSI Radeon RX 6950 XT Gaming X Trio 16G as when it had the much faster Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090. For comparison, the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti, which delivers the same level of performance as the Radeon RX 6950 XT, used about 45 per cent less energy. The RX 6950 XT alone accounted for 340 watts of the total energy usage. But thanks to the massive three-slot cooler, the card can effortlessly dissipate the amount of heat generated without becoming very loud. The noise produced by the three fans is fairly reasonable, and we could only hear a quiet whirring noise coming from the computer case when it is closed. In the stress test, the GPU's temperature peaked at 80°C (176°F), although hotpots on the chip did reach a much higher temperature of 95°C (203°F). We didn't encounter thermal issues at any point during testing.

* ... smaller is better
Pros
+ still fast enough for 4K gaming
+ high-performance cooling unit
+ fan stop mode
+ great performance in professional 3D applications
+ stylish RGB lighting
+ GPU bracket
Cons
- much worse ray tracing performance than RTX 3080 and RTX 3090
- very high power consumption
- too pricey
Verdict - Fast but inefficient
The Radeon RX 6950 XT was until recently AMD’s top-end desktop graphics card. The MSI Radeon RX 6950 XT Gaming X Trio 16G is a pretty popular board partner model that catches attention with its extremely large cooler and a lot of RGB lighting. The almost one-year-old model has roughly as much performance as an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti. The AMD card even has more VRAM than the Nvidia GPU and thus remains a great option. At the moment, the MSI Radeon RX 6950 XT Gaming X Trio 16G is still able to run all modern games at 2160p with ease. But ray tracing shouldn’t be a top priority if you intend to buy the card. This is because enabling ray tracing will cause its performance to drop significantly. As a result, smooth frame rates are often only achievable when a game's resolution is reduced to 1080p. That said, according to various hardware surveys, most people play games at 1080p or 1440p anyway, so the Radeon RX 6950 XT could remain attractive even in the future.
The MSI Radeon RX 6950 XT Gaming X Trio 16G still offers enough performance right now for 4K gaming.
Our biggest gripe with the GPU is its power consumption at max load. This is an area that really demonstrates the technological leap in the new generation of graphics cards. Nonetheless, casual gamers can purchase a previous-gen card with confidence. In our opinion, gaming enthusiasts or streamers should go for a Radeon RX 7900 XT or an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti instead. Their lower power usage is going to pay off in the long run.
The AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT is currently available starting at €879 (US$946). You can expect to pay the same amount for a GeForce RTX 4070 Ti and €999 (US$1,075) for a Radeon RX 7900 XT.

I was already interested in technology from an early age, and I was able to study for my dream job as an IT Systems Electronics Engineer. Subsequently, I started 12 years of military service, during which I learned a lot about technology and constantly kept my knowledge up to date with the latest developments. As I like to share my knowledge, I found Notebookcheck was a very good opportunity for this. In addition, I also work a lot with water cooling and network security.
After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in environmental engineering, I moved from Singapore to
Cologne in 2014 and began pursuing a career as a freelance translator. Much of my translation work
focuses on science, engineering and technology. My fascination with computers and mobile
electronics began when I was young. And I have fond memories reading countless tech and gaming
magazines. Working with Notebookcheck gives me the opportunity to incorporate my personal
interests into my professional work.
