Supercharged Performance
The AMD Radeon™ RX 6900 XT graphics card is among the most powerful GPU cards ever. Sonnet is pleased to offer this powerhouse to professional post production customers to build or upgrade their computers or Sonnet eGPU Thunderbolt expansion systems to create ultimate performance systems.
Workflow Acceleration
Whether your workflow relies on popular video editing applications such as Adobe® Premiere® Pro or Blackmagic Design’s Da Vinci Resolve Studio, or rendering, animation, and modeling applications such as Maxon Cinema 4D, Autodesk® Maya®, or Blender®, many pro applications rely on graphics (GPU) cards to do the heavy lifting. The AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT delivers outstanding performance for GPU-accelerated video effects, decode and encode, exports, and rendering to accelerate your applications’ performance and enable you to complete your projects in less time.
Major GPU Performance Upgrade for Your 2019 Mac Pro
If you purchased a Mac Pro® with the standard AMD Radeon Pro 580X, Vega II, W5500X or W5700X MPX module, then adding the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT graphics card can deliver a significant graphics productivity boost. Whether you’re editing, rendering, color correcting video, or creating VFX or 3D models, the AMD GPU card’s latest graphics architecture enables greater performance!
Combine GPU Muscle Power
You can even combine the power of your Mac Pro’s existing GPU with the 6800 XT—many task times on supported applications can be slashed when two GPU cards are employed. Installing the Radeon RX 6800 XT can multiply your computer’s graphics processing power, enabling it to handle 4K, 5K, 6K, and 8K workflows more efficiently.
Supports Pro Display XDR
The Apple® Pro Display XDR delivers stunning color, dynamic range and clarity—it’s ideal for professional workflows. What it doesn’t have is DisplayPort or HDMI ports. With the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT from Sonnet, that’s not a problem. This GPU includes a USB-C port that connects to the Pro Display XDR,(1) enabling you to take advantage of the most advanced Apple display ever.
Stunning eGPU Performance
The powerful AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT graphics card is a perfect fit in the 2019 Mac Pro, and Sonnet’s eGPU Breakaway™ Box 750 or 750ex and DuoModo™ eGPU Module Thunderbolt™ to GPU card expansion systems, so you can build product bundles that add tremendous graphics processing power to your computer without expansion card slots.
eGPU Applications Performance Next Generation Speed
Connecting the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT graphics card to your Thunderbolt-equipped computer via an eGPU Breakaway Box 750 or 750ex, or DuoModo eGPU Module delivers a remarkable performance boost to many tasks in the top video editing, visual effects, and modeling applications, cutting rendering times and enhancing VFX and color correction workflows.
Connects Four Displays Room for Creativity
The Radeon RX 6800 XT graphics card offers robust display connectivity: one HDMI port with HDMI 2.1 support; two DisplayPort 1.4 ports with Display Stream Compression (DSC) support; and one USB-C port with Alt-Mode support for connecting a USB-C or Thunderbolt display.

Technical Notes | 1. A USB hub in a Thunderbolt Display does not enumerate in macOS. In an eGPU expansion system chassis, cold start and sleep function normally. However, after a restart, a Thunderbolt/USB-C monitor does not light until the USB-C/Thunderbolt cable from the GPU card to the monitor is unplugged and replugged. 2. Requires 2019 Mac Pro GPU Bundle (part no. S-RX6900XT-MPK) or an AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT card with auxiliary PCIe power cables for 2019 Mac Pro; order one Sonnet GPU-CBL-MP. 3. This GPU card implements advanced display protocols, making this card future-ready. Some of these protocols are not yet supported by some OS drivers and/or available displays. 4. Some of these features are available only on Windows. |
