Best Monitors for Radeon RX 6900 XT

After the recent release of the Ryzen 5000 Series Zen 3 processors, AMD has also announced their Radeon RX 6000 Series GPUs. The flagship of the model of this series: The Radeon RX 6900 XT.

Benchmarks released by AMD for the Radeon RX 6900 XT, show us that this GPU excels in 1440p framerates, beating its Nvidia RTX 3000 Series competition in nine out of 10 games that AMD tested for their benchmarks, as it reaches over 120 FPS in all these titles. Thus, you can expect consistent framerates for 1440p resolutions, without needing to compromise in terms of game quality settings.

Going a step above the 1440p resolution, and into the 4K gaming territory, we see that the Radeon RX 6900 XT not only meets the 60 FPS mark, but it exceeds it by quite a margin. In fact, in the aforementioned benchmarks, it reaches – and exceeds – the 120 FPS threshold necessary for 4K 144 Hz gaming in half of the titles that were tested. If one were to slightly alter the in-game quality settings, the RX 6900 XT can surely reach the required framerate for the vast majority of AAA PC titles.

To admire the full processing power that a PC, equipped with AMD’s latest Zen 3 Ryzen 5000 Series processor and RDNA 2 Radeon RX 6900 XT graphics card, can muster, requires a monitor that also has the power to display this performance potential. Each monitor will hold distinct advantages and disadvantages, which is why the monitor that will accompany a PC build should be chosen based on each person’s distinct gaming tastes. It is for this reason that we have listed the best monitors available in multiple different resolutions and framerates, to match any gaming preference one may have.
