6950XT + 13700K: Bad Combo or Great Performer?

Hello and welcome! In today’s video we will explore how good or bad it is to pair a 6950xt with a 13700k. The reason this combo is often thought to be weird, if because you lose smart access memory (SAM) support, which is a feature that increases AMD GPU performance greatly. Luckily Resizeable BAR is there to give it a hand.

All recording done with AMD adrenaline software, which uses 2-5% of the GPU performance.
