Buy a graphics card: Radeon RX 6650 XT is now particularly attractive thanks to cashback and free games

Two promotions currently make buying a graphics card with a Radeon GPU particularly exciting. AMD is currently giving buyers of selected graphics cards up to three games for free. Anyone who buys a Radeon graphics card from RX 6700 or higher from one of the participating retailers such as Mindfactory or NBB will receive Saints Row, Forspoken and Sniper Elite 5 for free. You can find out how to get the free games on the respective offer page. In addition, Gigabyte is currently granting 20 euros in cashback when purchasing selected graphics cards such as the Gigabyte Radeon RX 6650 XT Eagle 8GB, which is therefore available at the lowest price of only 389 euros. Two of the three games mentioned are also available from AMD. In order to receive the cashback, you have to register Register on the Gigabyte campaign page. If you want, you can also get Steam credit instead of cashback.

How have Radeon prices performed compared to the previous week?

The cashback campaign for gigabyte graphics cards lowers the best price for the cheapest graphics card with RX 6650 XT by around 20 euros. You also get two free games. The prices for the entry-level graphics cards RX 6400 and Radeon RX 6500 XT have also fallen noticeably, as our market overview of the cheapest Radeon graphics card offers from Radeon RX 6400 to RX 6950 XT shows.

Radeon RX 7000 with WMMA: Hardware Accelerated FSR 3.0 in the pipeline?

RDNA 3 will probably come with WMMA (Wave Matrix Multi Accumulate) and with that the Radeon RX 7000 could get hardware-accelerated FSR 3.0. The latter is the rumor WMMA appears to be real. What AMD does with it is speculative. An entry for GFX 11 from the LLVM repository is making the rounds, confirming the use of WMAA. Sounds cryptic, but it probably means that RDNA 3 gets WMMA (Wave Matrix Multi Accumulate) and from this one concludes that AMD is working on a hardware-accelerated FSR 3.0 for the Radeon RX 7000. This is fundamentally comparable to Nvidia’s Matrix Multiplications, which are executed on the tensor units. For the moment, the FSR 3.0 part should be treated as a rumor that AMD wants to use more AI calculations in its chips in general, but this has already been indicated – in processors such as graphics card chips. For AMD, that would be the next step on the way to catching up with Nvidia’s DLSS. The WMMA instructions are relevant for better machine learning. And with FSR, AMD has a relatively good rate of adaptation to build on right now. AMD itself speaks of double the adoption rate of the competitor, but let’s not count the peas. As of now, 113 games support FidelityFX Super Resolution and it is implemented natively in Unreal Engine 5; DLSS is present in just over 180 games, but has been around a lot longer and is proprietary.
