Radeon Pro W6800X MPX Module

The Radeon Pro W6800X is a GPU that was developed by AMD as an optional MPX module for the 3rd-generation Mac Pro. Up to two can be installed at a time and it supports Infinity Fabric Link to increase the speed of inter-GPU data transmission by up to five-fold.

Description
The Radeon Pro W6800X MPX Module is based on AMD's high-end Navi 21 workstation graphics chip that was built on the 7 nm process. The GPU clock speed was 1.8 GHz, which could be boosted to 2.075 GHz, producing up to 16.0 teraflops. It contained 32 GB of GDDR6 video RAM. It features one HDMI 2.0/2.1 port and four USB-C compatible Thunderbolt 3 ports. It could support three 5K or 6K displays, or six 4K displays. The first Thunderbolt 3 port and the HDMI port shared a PCIe lane, reducing the output of that Thunderbolt 3 port if the HDMI port was used. The MPX module took up the space of two double-wide PCIe cards, but did not require an auxiliary power cable as it could draw all necessary power from the proprietary MPX connector.

Release
On August 3, 2021, Apple began offering the Radeon Pro W6800X as a higher-performance alternative to the preceding the Radeon Pro Vega II MPX Module though the older version did remain on sale for existing users who wished to add a second matching module.
