Nvidia driver overhead!

Also 6800 was £579 msrp. I bought my sapphire MBA version for £599

I have a couple of FE 3090s but have not managed to get my hands on the 6900 XT I am after.

Nice. I like the FE it looks massive What 6900xt are you going for? I noticed sapphire have released the Toxic and I can't remember the last AMD Toxic card so you know it will be good!

 

[Sumanji]

Quick Q - anyone experienced sag with the reference cards? If so, what GPU brace worked well?

@LtMatt in the 6900 XT thread says sag isn't an issue, so wanted to check in here also

Thats the one I am looking at.

My Merc is looking forward to the challenge.

Never underestimate the Merc, it's the fastest 6900 XT round these parts. @djay

For now Ive not even had a play with my 6800xt yet... perhaps ill try stretch its legs later on today.

6800xt under water, temps are great, RGB doesn't work though but that's no bad thing

 

[IainTKD]

here's a couple with it in the system. Unfortunately i don't have any before i put it into the case, though i will be dismantling soon once my hardline fittings arrive, so will have pics for then.

Super tight for me as i'm using a 60mm rad.. so i have less than 15mm gap (one pic shows a 14mm tube stuck in between for reference)









I didn't plug in the RGB header as i made the mistake of filling the loop and now i can't reach the header on the motherboard, but if it's being plumbed soon, i'm not fussed.

Also have a few 180 degree pcie adapters, but due to the shape of the backplate, without sanding down one area, they won't fit, so i'm cusom cabling my PSU cables to make it tidier than what it is now.

Temps before was aroun 40-50c idle and upwards of 90degree full load (hotspot temp). Now i'm idling around 30c and full load never touches 52c

Was going to ask if your RGB is working as mine doesn't but getting the same temps as yourself.

 

[Johnny Silverhand]

Overall really happy I made the change for the reasons above and I can do some 3d modelling too with ease.

Same with my 6800XT.

Oh r'ly!!! any nudes?

Yeah my RGB is working. The connection was loose so that's why it was off

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...

Managed to get my hands on a reference 2-slot 6800! Fits like an absolute dream into the Ghost S1 as well.

 

[Vince]

Oh r'ly!!! any nudes?

Nope It's in the machine now and rocking along nicely No issues to report. Plugged it in and it's been perfect so far.

Nice! How?

 

[t2na]

Managed to get a 3070 FE in the latest drop and was going to use that in my build - but kept an eye on Gumtree to see if there were any 6800's appearing or being sold at a reasonable price, saw someone wanting to swap an 'AMD GPU' for a 3000 series FE card so figured I'd go along and see what GPU it was!

Turns out it was the 6800 and the guy was just looking for an Nvidia card as his monitor was G-Sync only and he was banging on about ray tracing - super lovely bloke, did a swap there and then.

 

[Alex Lambert]

Ahhh decent, stories like this restore my faith in the human race! (even if temporarily!)

I also managed to get a 3070 FE, have stuck with mine for now but would perhaps be interested to try a 6800/800XT if AMD do drop anymore at some point.
