AMD launched new Radeon Pro W6000X series GPUs for Mac Pro on Tuesday. These add-on graphics processing units for Apple’s most powerful macOS desktop are designed for demanding professional applications, including 3D rendering, 8K video compositing, color correction and more.
“The new AMD Radeon Pro W6000X series is packed with remarkable energy efficiency, enhanced compute units and a new visual pipeline, enabling Mac Pro users to do more in less time across a broad range of pro applications,” said Scott Herkelman, head of AMD’s Graphics Business Unit, in a statement.

The new products include the Radeon Pro W6900X and Radeon Pro W6800X GPUs. Mac Pro users also now have the option of choosing the Radeon Pro W6800X Duo graphics card.
Jake Karol from CNN reports that the new GPUs should provide “up to 23% faster performance in DaVinci Resolve and 84% faster in Octane X. Imagine mileage here will vary.”
These were made with a 7nm manufacturing process, and include up to 64GB of GDDR6 memory with up to 512 GBps bandwidth.
