Crytek’s Neon Noir demo was created with an advanced version of CRYENGINE’s Total Illumination technology, which is used in
Crysis Remastered to enhance the game’s visuals. Neon Noir was developed on a customized version of CRYENGINE 5.5., and is both API and hardware agnostic. It enables ray tracing to run on virtually any modern GPU, however, future integration of the technology will be optimized for the latest GPUs and APIs like Vulkan and DX12...

The PowerColor Red Devil Ultimate Radeon RX 6900 XT once again outruns the AMD reference 6900 XT by a couple of percentage points at both resolutions, but the GeForce RTX 3080 and 3090 finished well ahead here.

Metro Exodus |
|
With And Without RTX / DLSS |
|
Metro Exodus is based on author Dmitry Glukhovsky's series of Metro novels that started with Metro 2033 back in 2005. The first installment in the series was Metro 2033, which was then followed by Metro Last Light (and later, Last Light Redux). Like other games in the series, Metro Exodus follows a post-apocalyptic story line that takes place in the former Russian Federation. The game features advanced graphics and visuals and also supports NVIDIA’s RTX and
DLSS technologies.
PowerColor Red Devil Ultimate Radeon RX 6900 XT Details @ 4K
Using the Ultra quality preset in Metro Exodus, the PowerColor Red Devil Ultimate Radeon RX 6900 XT outruns the reference card and comes within striking distance of the GeForce RTX 3090 at both resolutions. Time to enable ray tracing...
When using the RTX preset (which enables
DXR ray tracing effects) in this game, the PowerColor Red Devil Ultimate Radeon RX 6900 XT is still faster than AMD's reference card, but it drops down a rung in the standings and falls in behind the GeForce RTX 3080.

Red Dead Redemption 2 |
|
DirectX Gaming Blockbuster |
|
Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption 2 is the third entry in the Red Dead series. The game’s storyline is set in 1899 and follows outlaw Arthur Morgan of the Van der Linde gang in a fictional wild-west type setting. The game features rich, detailed graphics, which can be taxing on high-performance GPUs, when cranked up to maximum image quality.
The PowerColor Red Devil Ultimate Radeon RX 6900 XT took the top spot at 1440p in Red Dead Redemption, but with the resolution cranked up to 4K, the GeForce RTX 3090 comes roaring back. It's worth noting, however, that the Radeons exhibited much better minimum framerates in this game with SAM enabled. Disabling SAM brings the Radeons' minimum framerates down, closer to the GeForces.

DirectX Tactical Shooter |

Gears Tactics is a turn-based tactical game spun-off of the popular Gears of War franchise. Technically, Gears Tactics is a prequel to the first game, but it was just recently released. Like
Gears 5, Gears Tactics features a wide array of graphics options that can be tweaked and tuned to optimize performance on a given system.
PowerColor Red Devil Ultimate Radeon RX 6900 XT Details @ 4K
The PowerColor Red Devil Ultimate Radeon RX 6900 XT put up particularly strong numbers in Gears Tactics, and traded victories with the GeForce RTX 3090, depending on the resolution.
FarCry New Dawn was mostly CPU limited at 1440p, so the rankings are somewhat out of whack there. With the resolution cranked up to 4K though, the PowerColor Red Devil Ultimate Radeon RX 6900 XT ties the GeForce RTX 3090 for the top spot overall, though the GeForce had a slightly better minimum framerate.

| F1 2020 |
| DirectX 12 Gaming Performance |
|
F1 2020 is Codemaster’s latest Formula One racing simulation, and like previous version of the game, it sports impressive visuals. This latest addition to the franchise supports DirectX11 or DirectX 12, and it incorporated support for a number of AMD's
FidelityFX technologies -- though we didn't enable any of them to keep the playing field level. We tested the game with its Ultra High graphics preset with TAA enabled at a couple of resolutions to see what the graphics cards could do.
F1 2020
The PowerColor Red Devil Ultimate Radeon RX 6900 XT performed particularly well in F1 2020. In this game, the PowerColor card's higher power limit and Game/Boost clocks propel it into the top spot at both resolutions. Although we didn't test with then enabled to keep the playing field level, we should mention this game also supports a number of AMD FidelityFX features to boost image quality as well.
