The Red Devil came with a stock clock of 2699Mhz, which is the highest I've ever seen.

It must be noted that not all Devil's have great stock clocks, I had a 6800XT RD come with a clock of 2319Mhz!! I got rid of it sharpish

Heh. Be curious to know what other Red Devil 6700 XTs owners see, as this appears to be by far the best 6700 XT out there in terms of PCB.

Yeah don't ask, I was hedging my bets. I'm seeking help in the form of graphics cards anonymous.

I was quite surprised to see some OcuK regulars in there. They know who they are.

Plenty of them guerrillas about.

Esports Pit Release option has been added to multiplayer sessions

Added support for the Fanatec CSL DD Base

Added support for AMD FSR and CACAO

https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/f1/f1-2021/news/f1-2021-patch-112-notes

Gave this (CACAO) a try earlier on the 6700 XT, seems to run very well.

With give FSR a bash next.

Fair play to the developers of F1 2021, they have all graphics technologies in there from AMD and Nvidia and the game runs really well all round.

Any chance of some competition in Timespy for the 6700 XT please folks?

I can get close to the graphics score, but my 3900x is holding me back :cry:

I had until recently a Powercolor RX 5700 XT it had a terrible time overheating while playing with 2 monitors both set to 1440p, but one only being used for games the other for discord and some screen recording software.
I used it for 8 months till I couldn't stand the constant crashing, even after manually setting the fans and hampering performance with the Chill function. (the gaming monitor would go black, but the other one was still OK and I was able to restart my PC that way to get both screens working properly)

I recently upgraded to a Powercolor RX 6700 XT, which on the box stated 1440p and Ultra settings; after playing Conan Exiles with 1 monitor at 1440p for gaming, the other 4K with only discord, steam and the recording software open; withing 3 20ish hour days of NMS and 2.5 days of Conan Exiles at Ultra settings BOOM both screens un-viewable left one pink with a lot of lines, right one (That was playing the game) black with coloured blocks on a frozen black screen. Just had to do a hard shut down to do a restart.

Anyone know how to drop a picture in? it's asking for a URL.

Use imgur site to host pics.

If u had a onboard gpu on the cpu u coulda run ur 2nd mon off that and left the main gpu for gaming. Its what i used to do.

proud new owner of a 6700XT.. trying to fit this Sapphire model into my micro ATX rig was certainly a squeeze! But in the end a very snug fit and a lovely looking card.

I love my Nitro+ trying to get a second but prices are rising again.

DevilChild · 26 Nov 2021 at 14:25

I wish there was a way to get the memory past 2150.

Just bought Nitro+ - very impressed so far, very cool and quiet, paid £750 (went up to £799 just after before going OOS) which is obv too much, but i'll more than cover that will sale of 3060ti NON LHR. How does it stack up v 3060ti? I can't imagine there's much in it, but i'm happier with 12GB VRAM for the next 2-3 years than 8GB.

By the way do OCUK handle Sapphire RMA is required? I can't find anywhere to register crad with manufcaturer like I did with Gigabyte 3060ti.

Nice price I paid £675 second hand. Awesome card though.

Nice, I used to buy 2nd hand all the time, never had a problem, this the queitest/best temp card I've ever had, and the 3060ti was very impressive in terms of noise and temps, but this is even better. I thought i'll cash now and have 3 years warranty on top, I'd just had 2 remaining with old card. I used to buy Sapphire all the time, then had a few PC Red Devils/Dragons 580,590, 56 - they were all good cards.

I have a 580 red dragon in my system as well. I intend to get another 6700xt to replace it then put them both on water now EK have water blocks for them.

I've never WC a card before, I'll leave that to the experts! Sadly looks like prices have gone up AGAIN Nitro+ is now listed @ £830 OOS, the RD is £830 too...

To think a year ago I hated paying £480 for ther 3060ti, now virtually anything comparable is £750+.

Yep its shocking, although I baulked at the £450 price the 6700XT launched at on the deal here to members, rarely have I seen it on the retailers for under £700! Some of the better builds are even near £900. I have yet to see the mythical non XT 6800 in stock anywhere too.

I never thought about trying to get one on the members deal, I've seen a few 6800 recently but they soon went.
