The Radeon RX 6900/6950 XT Owners Thread.

Looking for a water block for my Red Devil 6900 XT. The only ones I'm aware of are the EK, Alphacool and Bykski. I was opting for the EK block but I can't seem to find it for sale anywhere other than EKs own website. Will I get hammered for tax/duty if I order direct from them?
 
I dont know if its got any better but Jan this year I had a water block stuck in Germany for 5 weeks and I had to pay extra import duty. :mad:
 
@FireTwo is using one so can give you his thoughts. It’s a great card I believe and a good deal at £200 cheaper. Just make sure it’s the version with the 2525Mhz boost clock.

seems ok temp wise!
not sure the amd gpu need 360mm aio?

JediFragger - got any timespy links?
would love to see that new 12th gen cpu score vs my 10900k

In a word yes. Anything over £135.
Better off with the Bykski been $116 delivered, so around £88 with a fee free card like Halifax clarity. I did my brothers 6800xt recently, the block arrived in 9 days!
 
Just tried the Quest 2 with Virtual Desktop and I`m mightily impressed. Not had much chance to experiment as the kids are about but my old benchmark of Trials on Tattooine with Ultra settings, 90fps, 12/15ms latency copes with it admirably. Previously on Quest 1 with a RTX 2080 if I turned up everything it would go into a bit of a juddery mess. Have got a good solid 866Mbps WIFI connection just need to experiment more when they are not here.

Was this wired or with Airlink? Airlink is fine with Virtual Desktop, but games don't play well wirelessly with airlink.

I'm going to check which access point my Quest 2 is using, whether it's my old network on wifi5 with Apple Airport Express (all my smart home and cameras is on that) or whether it's connecting to my new wifi6 AiMesh network which only has our computers, phones, and iPads connected

I've not tried Airlink yet. Virtual Desktop and Airlink are both wireless. Airlink is Oculus' answer to Virtual Desktop but its not a patch on it.

Sorry, I got SteamVR desktop mixed up with Virtual Desktop. I remember now that I have a virtual desktop server running on the PC which connects wirelessly to the Oculus through the Virtual Desktop app on the Quest 2 device. Doh!
 
A little. Seems to run very well, didn't notice any issues played a few bot matches. FPS seemed to be around 100 at 4K max settings.
I played the first few mins of the campaign last night, seems to run better than multiplayer for frame rate. I need to get outside to see how it handles a bigger draw distance.

Campaign would not download for me, so gonna try installing it on my Windows 11 drive at some point. I'll probably put up a YouTube video if I do.

Not sure I will spend much time playing this game though tbh.

The Xbox app and store in windows 11 is very broken lol. The update started from within the game for me last night. I'm in the middle of Forza 5 so it'll be on the back burner for me too.
