The Radeon RX 6900 XT was AMD’s secret sauce which we’ve known about for quite a while. But what’s more interesting is its cost. At $999, it’s cheaper than NVIDIA’s RTX 3090 by a wide margin and performs at parity with it! Of course, we’ll have to wait for reviews to actually test that claim, but suffice it to say that AMD is giving team green some tough competition.
