AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 10 GB

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 10 GB occupies a peculiar position in the benchmark database. Based on the Navi 22 chip and built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture, this card posts a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 1995, placing it in the 11th percentile of all GPUs. This data point alone suggests a product that is not aimed at the enthusiast tier, but the surrounding specifications and rival comparisons reveal a more nuanced story about its intended role.

How It Compares

Against the NVIDIA GRID K1, the RX 6750 GRE 10 GB shows a marginal 1% advantage in average benchmark score. The GRID K1 is a professional virtualization card, so this narrow lead in a gaming-oriented DX12 test is telling, the AMD card is fundamentally a consumer product, yet its performance ceiling here is barely above a compute-focused enterprise part from a different era.

The comparison with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 is similarly tight, with the RX 6750 GRE 10 GB leading by just 1.1%. The GTX 470 is a much older architecture, so the fact that the modern RDNA 2.0 card only edges it out by this margin in this specific workload raises questions about driver optimization or thermal behavior under sustained load.

The data flips against the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M, where the RX 6750 GRE 10 GB trails by 1.3%. The GTX 660M is a mobile GPU, which makes this result counterintuitive, a desktop card with a 170 W TDP losing to a laptop part suggests the Steel Nomad test may not be favorable to the AMD architecture, or that the specific benchmark run captured an anomaly.

The largest gap appears versus the NVIDIA GeForce GT 630, where the RX 6750 GRE 10 GB is 4.3% behind. The GT 630 is a low-end entry-level card, so this deficit is the most surprising of the set. It implies that in this particular DX12 workload, the AMD card’s raw compute resources are not being fully translated into frame throughput, a pattern worth investigating further.

Ray Tracing and Feature Set

The RX 6750 GRE 10 GB includes 36 dedicated ray tracing cores, which is the hardware foundation for its DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) support. This API compliance means the card is designed to handle the full feature set of modern games, including variable rate shading and mesh shaders, though the benchmark data does not quantify actual ray tracing performance.

The absence of tensor cores, the field is null in the specification, indicates that this GPU relies purely on its shading units and RT cores for compute tasks, with no dedicated AI acceleration hardware. This is consistent with the RDNA 2.0 architecture, which does not prioritize machine learning workloads in the same way as some competing designs.

Beyond DirectX, the card supports OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4, covering the major cross-platform graphics APIs. The display outputs include one HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 1.4a connections, which allows for multi-monitor setups at high refresh rates, though the benchmark scores suggest such configurations may be more relevant for less demanding titles.

Benchmark Performance

The single benchmark score of 1995 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 is the only quantitative performance data available. With an average benchmark score identical to that single result, there is no variance to analyze across multiple runs or test suites. The 11th percentile ranking versus all GPUs places this card firmly in the lower echelon of the database, which aligns with its closest rival deltas.

Relative to the nearest rivals, the performance envelope is narrow. The RX 6750 GRE 10 GB is 1% faster than the NVIDIA GRID K1 and 1.1% faster than the GTX 470, but it is 1.3% slower than the GTX 660M and 4.3% slower than the GT 630. These deltas are all within a small margin, meaning that in this workload, the card is statistically indistinguishable from a group of much older or lower-tier products.

This clustering is suspicious. A 7 nm chip with 2304 shading units and 11.29 TFLOPS of FP32 compute should theoretically outperform those legacy parts by a wide margin in most scenarios. The fact that it does not, and in some cases loses, suggests that either the Steel Nomad test is heavily memory-bound or that the card’s 10 GB VRAM and 160-bit bus create a bottleneck that negates its compute advantage.

FAQ

Q: What is the card’s performance percentile among all GPUs in the database?

Q: How does it compare to the NVIDIA GeForce GT 630?

Power and Cooling

The RX 6750 GRE 10 GB has a thermal design power of 170 W, which is modest for a card with this transistor count. The recommended power supply is 450 W, and the board requires a single 8-pin power connector, simplifying installation in most systems.

The card is a dual-slot design, measuring 267 mm in length, 110 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. These dimensions make it compatible with a wide range of mid-tower cases, though the 10.5-inch length may require checking clearance in smaller builds. The 170 W TDP suggests a capable air cooler is sufficient, as the data does not indicate any exotic cooling solution is necessary.

Given the low benchmark scores relative to its compute specifications, power draw may not be the limiting factor, the card could be thermally throttling or hitting a power cap, but the provided data does not include clock behavior under load beyond the listed base, game, and boost frequencies of 1941 MHz, 2189 MHz, and 2450 MHz respectively.

Memory Subsystem

The card features 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 320.0 GB/s. The memory clock is 2000 MHz, with an effective rate of 16 Gbps. This configuration is unusual, most modern cards pair larger bus widths with higher capacities, so the 160-bit interface is a potential constraint.

For high-resolution gaming, 320.0 GB/s is a moderate figure. At 1080p or 1440p, this bandwidth is generally sufficient for textures and geometry, but at 4K, the limited bus width could cause performance drops in memory-intensive scenes. The 10 GB capacity is adequate for current titles, though the 11th percentile benchmark ranking suggests that memory bandwidth may be a contributing factor to the low scores, rather than raw compute.

The pixel rate of 156.8 GPixel/s and texture rate of 352.8 GTexel/s are derived from the 64 ROPs and 144 TMUs, respectively. These figures are modest, reinforcing that the card is designed for mainstream resolutions rather than extreme settings.

Who Should Consider It

Based on the benchmark data, the RX 6750 GRE 10 GB is not a high-performance card, its 11th percentile ranking and single score of 1995 place it below most contemporaries. The comparison set, which includes ancient GPUs like the GTX 470 and GT 630, indicates that this card is best suited for users who prioritize feature compatibility over raw speed.

At 1080p with medium to high settings, the card’s 11.29 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 10 GB VRAM should handle most esports and older titles without issue. The 320.0 GB/s bandwidth is sufficient for these resolutions, and the 36 RT cores provide entry-level ray tracing capability for games that support it, though users should expect significant compromises in RT-heavy scenes.

For 1440p, the card may struggle in demanding games, especially those that rely on high texture quality or advanced effects. The 4.3% deficit against the GT 630 in Steel Nomad is a warning sign that this GPU may not hold up well in future titles that are optimized for newer architectures. The 11th percentile placement suggests it is a budget-oriented option for users who need DX12 Ultimate support and a modern feature set, but who are willing to accept lower frame rates than what higher-tier cards offer.

The 170 W TDP and 450 W PSU requirement make it an easy drop-in upgrade for existing systems, and the PCIe 4.0 x16 interface ensures compatibility with current motherboards. However, the performance data does not justify its use for high-refresh-rate gaming or 4K workloads, this is a card for 1080p gaming with an eye toward software compatibility rather than raw frame rate supremacy.
