Introduction

The MSI Radeon RX 6750 XT Gaming X Trio is the company's fastest custom-design graphics card based on the swanky new performance-segment GPU by AMD, the Radeon RX 6750 XT. The new RX 6750 XT is part of a major refresh of the higher-end of the RX 6000 series by AMD, which also includes the RX 6950 XT and RX 6650 XT launching today. The refresh is aimed at cashing in on gamer demand with Summer upon us, as graphics card prices are cooling down.

AMD claims that the RX 6750 XT will disrupt the crowded performance segment, which includes graphics cards such as the GeForce RTX 3070, RTX 3060 Ti, RTX 3070 Ti, and AMD's own RX 6700 XT and RX 6800. This category enables maxed-out gaming at 1440p, including ray tracing, while also being capable of 4K gaming with some clever settings or FidelityFX Super Resolution, or even Radeon Super Resolution.

The Radeon RX 6750 XT is an enhancement of the RX 6700 XT, much like the RX 6950 XT is to the RX 6900 XT. AMD has enhanced the product in three key areas—GPU clock speeds, memory speeds, and software-level secret sauce. The RX 6750 XT ships with game clocks (de facto GPU clocks) of 2495 MHz, compared to 2424 MHz on the RX 6700 XT. The second enhancement is the use of faster 18 Gbps memory, compared to 16 Gbps on the RX 6700 XT, resulting in a 12.5 percent increase in memory bandwidth, which is now 432 GB/s, instead of 384 GB/s on the original RX 6700 XT. 12 GB is still the standard memory amount, across a memory bus width of 192-bit. This may seem less in comparison to the 256-bit bus widths of the rival RTX 3070, but AMD found other ways of speeding up the memory sub-system, such as 96 MB of Infinity Cache, a fast on-die memory.

The core-configuration of the RX 6750 XT is the same as its predecessor—you get 2,560 stream processors across 40 RDNA2 compute units, along with 40 Ray Accelerators, 160 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. Besides increased GPU and memory clocks, AMD has a third enhancement in store, which is at the firmware and driver levels. This is secret sauce, and the company didn't go into the specifics, but we noticed that the new drivers are faster, especially when it comes to CPU-limited scenarios. The RX 6750 XT comes with a typical board power of 250 W, compared to 230 W on the RX 6700 XT at reference speeds. This should ideally make the RX 6750 XT more efficient than factory-overclocked RX 6700 XT cards that have power tuning by the board partners and use slower 16 Gbps memory.

The MSI RX 6750 XT Gaming X Trio pairs this GPU with its powerful Tri Frozr cooling solution with a large aluminium fin-stack heatsink that's ventilated by a trio of fans with plenty of RGB LED bling. MSI gave the RX 6750 XT factory-overclocked speeds of 2554 MHz, compared to 2495 MHz reference game clocks. The memory is untouched at 18 Gbps. MSI was unable to provide any pricing guidance at all. Based on pricing we received from other vendors, we estimate the MSI RX 6750 XT Gaming X Trio to sell for around $630.

Packaging

The Card

The MSI RX 6750 XT is easily recognizable as an MSI Gaming X Trio card because it shares the design with similar SKUs. A high-quality metal backplate is included on the back.

Dimensions of the card are 32.0 x 13.5 cm, and it weighs 1356 g.

Installation requires three slots in your system.

Display connectivity includes three standard DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.1.

The card has two 8-pin power inputs. This configuration is rated for up to 375 W of power draw.

The AMD Radeon RX 6000 series doesn't support multi-GPU.

Teardown

MSI's heatsink uses six heatpipes and also provides cooling for the memory chips and VRM circuitry.

Once the main heatsink is removed, a reinforcement bar becomes visible, which helps with sagging due to graphics card weight.

The backplate is made of metal and protects the card from damage during handling and installation.
