Today, Apple and AMD have released three new W6900X graphics card modules for the Intel-based Mac Pro. The Radeon Pro W6800X MPX Module, Radeon Pro W6800X Duo MPX Module, and Radeon Pro W6900X MPX Module are among the new graphics card modules.
Apple claims that these new graphics modules (which are Apple exclusive only) can deliver up to 23 percent quicker performance in DaVinci Resolve and 84 percent faster performance in Octane X, as first reported by CNN’s Jake Krol on Twitter.
Existing Mac Pro owners will be able to upgrade their machines as well, as the modules will be available for individual purchase through Apple’s Online Store (price TBD). On the Apple Online Store, you may customize your new Mac Pro.
AMD Radeon Pro W6800X
Choose the AMD Radeon Pro W6800X with 32GB of GDDR6 RAM and up to 512GB/s memory bandwidth for workstation-class graphics and demanding pro workloads. AMD’s RDNA2 architecture is used in this graphics option, which can produce up to 16.0 teraflops of single-precision compute or 32.0 teraflops of half-precision computing. Up to six 4K screens, three 5K displays, or three Pro Display XDRs can be connected to it.
AMD Radeon Pro W6800X Duo MPX Module
Choose the Radeon Pro W6800X Duo MPX Module to boost your graphics performance even further. It’s excellent for even the most demanding multi-GPU pro applications. The module contains two W6800X GPUs, each having 32GB of GDDR6 memory and a memory bandwidth of up to 512GB/s. Infinity Fabric Link connects the two GPUs onboard, and two W6800X Duo modules can be bridged to allow four W6800X GPUs to communicate.
AMD Radeon Pro W6900X
Choose the AMD Radeon Pro W6900X with 32GB of GDDR6 RAM and up to 512GB/s memory bandwidth for workstation-class graphics and demanding pro workloads.
