AMD RDNA 2 Refresh cards spotted for sale at absurd prices

A couple of weeks ago, we reported that AMD's new line of RDNA 2 "refresh" video cards, consisting of Radeon RX 6950 XT, RX 6750 XT and RX 6650 XT, should debut on the market next month, according to Disclosezen, a source that has proved particularly reliable in the past. At the moment, the Sunnyvale company has not yet revealed the exact specifications of the three cards, but the use of faster memories (18Gb / s) should be certain, a feature that, alone, should improve performance from 2 to 5. %. However, some tweaks to the frequencies should not be excluded, resulting in more significant performance increases.

The Radeon RX 6650 XT differs from the previous RX 6600 XT by the presence of a dual fan heatsink (and no longer single) and the same advantage can be found in the Radeon RX 6750 XT, which is now equipped with three fans, one more compared to the RX 6700 XT.
