It’s been a while… I am back with a few blog posts this week. Going to start with the new GPU I bought in January. The RX 6750XT. The reason I upgraded: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle<\/a>. That game requires 8GB or VRAM; however 12GB or more is recommended AND it also requires ray-tracing. My old card, the RX 5600XT did not have either of those components. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a look at my card. I got the XFX Reference Design<\/a> model. So, it only says “Radeon” on it and nowhere does it say, “XFX”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Somehow, I didn’t get a pic of it in the old case… the is a sneak peek at what’s to come this week.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was already a generation behind as the RX 7000 series was already out and established. And then I knew AMD was to introduce the newest series, the RX 9000 series in a month or so, but I feared the prices of newer graphics cards and it turns out, I was right to buy and I am not someone who buys the mid-range or high-range graphics cards. I don’t need the FPS that others do or the ultimate in graphical fidelity. I am after fun and something that looks good (to me) and has decent FPS and this card does that PLUS it is good enough for a good time with Indiana Jones. I have moved on from that game once I beat it but I go back to it every now and then. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On to the next post. If all goes well, it will be tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
