Great looking card the reference model. My 6900xt reference is so quiet it’s amazing. Very tempted to upgrade at that price but it doesn’t seem very logical given we are on the cusp of a new generation. That all black theme would look great in my pc tho

I have been thinking about this card for a few days. But sod it, I just ordered one because of the great price.Bit of a late entry but I moved my 3080ti on for a nice price and managed to pick up a reference AMD Radeon RX6950 XT for £849! Loved the look of the reference design and it's nice and quiet so ticks all the boxes for me. Plus a cool card to mess around with until I see the lay of the land. Pics because it looks amazing
I still feel my 3080 FE is still not enough for ultrawide gaming.

Using my new Giga 6900XT for UW atm, creaming everything I'm throwing at it so you'll enjoy!!
Yours will def boost higher and have the extra ram speed and you'll get an extra 10% over me easy
Apologies for posting pics of it looking so damn good
I'm sure you'll love it, it's also much quieter than the FE cards. I've been having a blast so far with it and found it much better in Cyberpunk for example with a splash of FSR in comparison to my experience with DLSS.
Also the games I need/love to max out at 144hz 4k do just that...both PUBG and APEX.

/do itStop tempting me to buy one.
Think of it as a collectors editionStop tempting me to buy one.
To be fair I actually think the current AMD game bundle is great value as well, especially considering I was looking at getting Forspoken anyway. That £849 price is absolutely worth it.

Just got myself a Gigabyte 6900 XT, performance is incredible, but I found the fans are a bit noisy, I wonder what are other's fan curve is like? (Have not try to use silent BIOS yet)

I stick mine on a 58% fan curve and seems fine, keeping it roughly 70c this weather but I have it undervolted a little...

The reference 6950xt for £849 is indeed very tempting but it’s really not worth it for me with the next series so close to release. Especially as I plan upgrading to 4K
Very very tempting yes, because I’m impatient, and even a month to the next cards feels like forever. But I’ll be good and hold off

Ok scratch that it hit 79c this afternoon lol but not too bothered as the Junction temp is only 20/21c higher (doesn't throttle til 110c)

For sure wait then, 4k is still a bit of a bitch when it comes to pushing higher fps and even taxed the 6950XT hard when I had one briefly.

Think you are being a bit optimistic with a month. It will end up being like last time the new card announced then 6 weeks later you can actually try and buy one. Gone are the days generally they announce the card and within a week you can buy it. (Or same day!)
Possibly, but I think it’ll be a lot better than last time. Lack of mining, no covid, much less demand due to economy etc. Yes, you’ll still probably struggle to get one launch day, but it should be MUCH better than last time and I wouldn’t write off getting one very quickly
Hopefully they launch next month and I can get one next month, or October at the worst.
I appreciate this is an AMD thread, but I am including NVIDIA in these statements. I generally prefer AMD, but if team green releases first, I will definitely be okay with going with them. A September launch from them is very possible
If they only release the 4090, that will also lower demand.

It’s going to be a rough few weeks or months for any launch. So many people holding out for the next AMD/Nvidia card.
Good luck to the people holding out. That F5 key is going to be abused.

I think that will be like a red rag to a bull, no AMD pun intended. Also I think I will sit this round out.
