According to prominent leakster Greymon55 (@greymon55), the boost clockspeeds of the 6950XT will be set slightly above the 2.5GHz mark, which doesn’t sound all that mindblowing, if we’re honest. As it stands, three custom cooled variants of the currently existing 6900XT have already had their Navi 21 XTX GPU pushed well beyond their default 2250MHz. Case in point, both ASUS and Gigabyte’s own third-party offerings of the card are rated at 2525MHz, while Sapphire’s Toxic Extreme card has been overclocked to run at a sustained 2730MHz....

Nintendo Switch Sports Could Support Amd Fidelityfx Super Resolution

The alleged FSR support was first discovered by Twitter user Nikki (@NWPlayer123), who says that they found it in the license printout, specifically for Nintendo Switch Sports. It is an interesting move by Nintendo, primarily because the hardware of the Nintendo Switch is based on the NVIDIA Tegra SoC and isn’t capable of supporting the GPU brand’s own DLSS technology. Having said that, the licensing doesn’t say how FSR will be applied, although at this stage, it wouldn’t be wrong to believe that the upscaling technology could be limited to its TV mode, where it is designed to run at Full HD resolution....
