The Radeon RX 6800 (XT) Owners Thread.

i see your rpm is much higher 1500 almost 1600. Mine is on 1100-1300 Stock. the card is made silent but with higher temps in mind that's the route sapphire went for. so there you have it your fans are faster thats why its so cool

 

[atomixers]

Nope GPU maxed out. i put a pick of gpuz on the previouse page.

My Nitro+ 6800XT with fans running about 1200rpm stays about 60-63 degrees whilst playing RDR2 at 1440p Ultra settings, 80fps.

Yeh i did get rid of the zero fan. I have a Stupid As Rock X 570 taichi mother board that covers the chipset fan with the GPU,so without some fans constantly running it gets quite toasty even in descktop. still a very cool gpu though. In both meanings of the word lol

 

[Nosferatu93]

it doesnt matter this chips could work for years with well above 100 celsius without any brake.

I sir do not have your confidence

its a fact. These are made for such things. You think they would get shipped this way if not? trust the amd and nvidia engineers, they are much smarter than the load of bullcrap you read on forums so don't worry enjoy the card.

Its more of a. I don't want a power station of a PC thing. I understand the engineering to a certain extent heat cycles kills electronics more than constant heat. But fans have a sell by date . its a balancing act. Water cooling last longer the less you use it but turning the pc off all the time takes its toll on the motherboard,cpu and gpu. I only resonantly sold my 2500k @4.7 ghz that had only been turned off a couple of times a year to a friend who is still using it at the same clock speed so i know things last !!!!

 

[Nosferatu93]

a cpu is again something different. i have yet to see a cpu gets broken while usage. gpu also vram dies before the chip comes near its end which is over 10 years.

 

[henson0115]

Hopefully that fixes it.

Honestly if your system is stable and working well I do not recommend updating the BIOS unless it's for a specific reason, ie a new feature or a bug fix that is relevant to you. If it ain't broke...

easier said than done for me the boost cpu clocks are much better in f32 for me but id rather it be stable ill just try it again in revision or so at least now i know that's its not the gpu and i can be aware of it. i work in i.t and like to tinker so me not upgrading a bios is like telling a kid s/he cant have any sweets

You never saw my overclocking atempts back in the early 90's. Plenty of broke cpu's LOL

First impressions: AMD's frame pacing seems smoother, it really does. Is this a big thing?

@Kaapstad I can has 6800 XT

 

[atomixers]

and me too...

 

[atomixers]

I’m sure if you contact Sapphire and open an RMA they will send you a new fan with proof of purchase.

Sapphire asked me to use TriXX version 8 to set the fans to zero, then stick a finger on each two at a time before increasing the speed to 50% and videoing the results.
Only problem was that TriXX doesn't let you set fan speed, only set Nitro Glow, check the fan health, and configure TriXX Boost. I used AMD Adrenalin instead and sent off the videos as requested.
If anyones interested I could upload them here or link off-site I suppose.

 

[almoststew1990]

Well it looks like I can let my graphics card off the hook as it crashes with my old 1070ti (in a completely different system) with a similar driver crash.

 

[Vegeta]

Think I've only seen my GPU in low the 60's but im using a Thermaltake P3 and tbf im not stressing the gpu in most cases with my 1080p monitor at 240hz as cpu limited only when using it on my 4k tv.

And to that point whats the best watch to switch between PC monitor and my 4K tv? I use my pc monitor for fast FPS games and TV for games like GTA and racers. My tv is mostly off but when I use it I like to game on the 4K and still have access to my pc monitor.

AIB. A Gigabye Gaming OC as @Kaapstad said. Sorry for the poor photograph chaps, must have been overexcited
