The first AMD Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards were unveiled just a few hours ago and they look stunning given their specifications, performance numbers and especially, the prices. But the announcement was lacking a key element which we were all hoping to get more details which is the ray-tracing performance of the next-generation RDNA 2 lineup.

While AMD didn't provide any specific numbers related to ray tracing performance, a performance measurement on one of the three RDNA 2 "Big Navi" GPU based Radeon RX 6000 series graphics card has slipped by within the announcement slide deck. The numbers mention an AMD RDNA 2 graphics card which was tested within the DXR Procedural Geometry Sample application with both hardware acceleration enabled and disabled.
