The Radeon RX 6800 (XT) Owners Thread.

Hey all, is anyone using their 6800XT for VR? with a Quest 2 via Quest link or remote desktop. Or a Reverb G2?
Is it stable with the latest drivers?

Also is anyone using their 6800XT for MSFS2020? Both VR and 2D? is ultra performance possible?
 
Haven't had any issues with mine while playing Beat Saber, Pavlov and HL:Alyx at 120hz... but i don't know much about which games are super heavy on the GPU, so the ones listed aside from HL may not be. I use an Index by the way

Using a 6800XT for VR (G2) in MSFS but unfortunately I'm suffering constant crashes, but not sure if it's a driver problem or an issue with the sim, haven't had a single crash caused by anything else. Can be made run pretty smooth before the crashes but you'd definitely need to tinker with settings and find your own tolerances for FPS and image quality.

Hi Bergkamp. Sorry to hear that. Are you using the latest AMD drivers?
 
Is anyone else experiencing problems with their fans? My Powercolor 6800XT is totally refusing to spin up the fans at all. Not at start up, not under manual tuning in the drivers and not even when the temps go above 100c.

driver problem i fear. AMDs VR driver stability has not been the greatest ever since the release.
 
I have had 2 crashes using my WMR VR, when Playing il-2 sturmovik. Other than that it's been fine in VR.

Though it does run smoother than it did on my 2080 super.
 
Will also post this here as it will also apply to 6800 XT users.

Did some memory performance testing in Red Dead Redemption 2 and again i saw the behaviour play out as i mentioned before, 2112Mhz appears to be the sweet spot, at least in games.

Testing was done using the built in game benchmark.

2160P
RDR2 DX12
Ultra Settings - Tree Tess Off, MSAA/Reflection Off Water quality High, Refraction/Reflection 3/4.
TAA enabled and sharpness 100%
5950X PBO
6900 XT 2270-2370Mhz Undervolted to 1.000v (actual in game core clock is minimum of 2300Mhz, peaks up to 2325Mhz)
21.2.2
Fast Timings On
No MPT, using default board power limit 289W+15% power limit so no chance of power limit affecting results as power draw was 220W-240W ish according to HWINFO64.

2012Mhz Memory Clock

2112Mhz Memory Clock

2150Mhz Memory Clock

This behaviour in memory clock performance has been the same now on 1x6800 XT MBA, 1x6900 XT MBA, and 2x 6900 XT Mercs.

Don't run your memory at 2150Mhz when gaming folks, you are possibly getting stock levels of performance. In synthetics you can crank it up to 2150Mhz and see gains, but games seem to see reduced performance back to near stock levels.

Ooh, tah for posting, I'll definitely give lowering memory clock a spin if it means moar fraymzzz! :p
 
driver problem i fear. AMDs VR driver stability has not been the greatest ever since the release.
doubt it been running vr on amd drivers for years without issue, likely a game issue to be fair. people tend to overlook overclocking being the cause of so many issues too, stable in 1 thing doesn't mean stable in everything. easy to blame a driver though i guess.
 
i've not had any issues with my AMD card, and well it's my first amd card in a long while. My last card was a R9 290 which i still have and don't know what to do with it.

I play games with it overclocked at 2775/4300, and not had any crashes. Driver is latest release i believe
 
Is it likely that we'll see the 2 slot variant of the 6800 available again on Overclockers at any point?

I have the joys and downsides of an SFF case (Ghost S1) and whilst I've really enjoyed using my 1070Ti since launch it I'm chomping at the bit for an upgrade and the 6800 seems like a dreamy option. The only limit being that 2 slot cards are almost all I can really go for...

Damn, I'm jealous. My silicon is very average/poor unfortunately, the max I can get before crashes is 2490-2590 and max mem (although in game 2100 with fast timings seems to produce the best results so I stick to that). Not disappointed though, it happily holds over 2.5GHz in the games I'm playing ATM.

I was looking at a 6800...for vram but keeping edging towards a 3060 ti

Yeah, had considered both the 3060 Ti and the 3070 but the more I look into the 6800 the more I’m swayed by it.

I guess with all cards being like gold dust right now I probably can’t be overly picky, although because of my case I sort of have to be...!
 
Anyone been having Driver Timeout issues as of late?
Been playing today and the GPU crapped out twice with a black screen for about 10 seconds then boot to desktop with a driver timeout error. :mad:
