During the reveal event for the AMD Ryzen 5000 series, AMD CEO Dr. Lisa Su also gave a small teaser of performance for the upcoming AMD Radeon RX 6000 series which are codenamed Big Navi. Radeon RX 6000 Series “Big Navi” graphics card was shown running a few select titles at 4K resolution and the performance looks promising.
During the Ryzen 5000 series launch event, Lisa Su showed off the massive triple-slot flagship graphics card as well which she referred to as the Big Navi graphics card. According to Lisa Su, the GPU codenamed as Big Navi would provide a 60FPS+ experience across three games: Borderlands 3, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, and Gears 5 all at the highest available settings.

The titles discussed included Borderlands 3 running on DirectX 12 and Badass Quality, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare running on DirectX 12 and Ultra Quality, and Gears of Wars 5 also running on DirectX 12 on Ultra Quality settings. In the benchmarks shown by AMD, all three titles managed to deliver 60+ FPS on 4K. AMD used their own Ryzen 5000 Desktop CPUs to run these benchmarks which bodes well for them.
With the recent launch of NVIDIA’s Ampere-based GeForce RTX 30 series parts clearly on their minds, AMD briefly teased the performance of a forthcoming high-end RX 6000 video card. As per previous rumors, the Big Navi graphics card used in the benchmarks is reportedly known as the Radeon RX 6900 XT which is based on the Navi 21 GPU. The performance of the card looks to be really close to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 which is quite impressive for AMD to hit, and if they can price the Big Navi graphics card right at around $499-$599 US, then they will have a killer 4K solution in their hands.
AMD was very limited in revealing information about their upcoming cards as they have a whole event planned for the release of the Radeon RX 6000 series on October 28th.
