The Radeon RX 6800 (XT) Owners Thread.

[Poneros]

Is there a step by step guide for noobs? I don't want to mess it up!

Not yet but I'd advise waiting on more extreme OCs. Wait for more data to come in. For now just maxing out powet limit in wattman, adding +100mhz on memory, and sliding max freq for core to 2400mhz, is going to be plenty.

You'd be lynched by someone if you posted this in the massive Navi thread.

Where is this from?

Hardware numbers on youtube.

Looking forward to the RT benchmarks

Yes! Performance seems decent enough in RT but need Control to get fixed for AMD.

 

[Poneros]

Update: Ray tracing works fine in Control Ultimate Edition. I had the older one installed and didn't get the new one.

Just got a 6800, would have preferred a 3080, but I was sick of waiting. may swap it out for a 3080 or 6800xt once there is more availability. Sure beats using a 780gtx at 1440 tho

​

Boys and girls this card is amazing "Sapphire RX 6800".
My previous card was a 2070 Super, and still I can see the difference in speed, and quiet.
My card working with 925Mv 2330Mhz core 2100Mhz Memory speed.
Reported Power consumption is around with UV is 170W (220 base) Probably this is just the mem and the core not TGP.

Oh how I wish we didn't have these supply issues!

 

[Hakanese]

I'm hoping for a water-cooled flavour. I haven't any more space in the case for an aio.
You're evil Kapstaad

 

[Chrisola]

Are you just trolling?

No, I swapped it out and going to return the 3070.

 

[BogEyes]

My 6800XT has just turned up.

What a beast! Build quality is awesome. Talk about hefty!

Can't wait to put it through its paces at 1080p





First brand new card since a ATI Radeon 5850 in December 2010.

 

[LtMatt]

^ Very nice!!

Bought from OcuK?

No, tried ordering one from here first but was one of the unlucky ones. Refund still hasn't come through!

Think I need a new case, my current Kolink Citadel isn't going to do it justice.

Because yes, I just want to stare at it.

Ha nice, enjoy. I am a little jealous, waiting for mine to arrive.

 

[BogEyes]

Thanks!

It's such an over indulgance.

Never thought I'd spend more than £500 on a graphics card.

I've enjoyed all the hype this year though, and has been one thing to look forward too with all the doom & gloom this year has brought!

I'm chuffed with it.

My 6800 XT has been dispatched from the AMD Store. I expect it to get here Thursday, Friday at the latest.

Had to wait a few days, but glad i got it for RRP @ £600.

I thought the same but I have the 6800 and done some OC on it and the card now just 5-8% slower then the Xt and eating less power, for me its anough and now I not need the XT.​

 

[Gerard]

Roll on the crapshoot for tomorrow. =/

Seems like lots of others on Reddit are getting shipment notifications from the AMD Store. EU Cards from AMD's direct shop are starting to get shipped : Amd (reddit.com)

Roll on the crapshoot for tomorrow. =/

Godspeed Uncle Gerard.

 

[Gerard]

Godspeed Uncle Gerard.

Only thinking about it currently, if i can snag an xt then maybe...Though i really expect the same ******** as the past few launches.

 

[sweenEire]

Card(6800 non-XT) came yesterday delighted with it so far! Loving the all-metal shroud design.

It's actually smaller than the old 390 is replacing. The temps have been great so far(especially compared to the 390) but I am curious as to why they have a vent at the back to exhaust the heat out of the case.

Looks really slick in the case too. Colour matches nicely with the RAM.
