Test Setup
Please read our GPU Test Bench and Benchmarking Refresher for an explanation on our test system, procedures and goals. Note that since the writing of that article, we have since further upgraded our CPU to a Ryzen 7 5800X now. More information on our GPU testing can be found here. Check out our KIT page where you can see all the components in our test system configuration for reviewing video cards.
System Setup
Very Important! NOTE that we ARE enabling AMD Smart Access Memory in this review.
In all of our graphs to follow, we have run the benchmarks on the AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT with Smart Access Memory enabled. In our original review, you can see how Smart Access Memory enabled versus disabled compares. For the most part, the results were positive with it enabled, so we are only going to show the enabled results in this review. In our graph’s “SAM ON” means Smart Access Memory is enabled.
