Nope total system draw from the socket.
Interesting, thanks. I just don't understand where people are getting these power draw numbers from on YouTube/reviews.
The lack of supply of these things certainly hasn't helped for information lol

The software UI is surprisingly nice after dealing with Nvidia for so long.

Also joined the 6900XT club today: https://i.imgur.com/4KzEHhQ.jpg
It replaces a 5700XT. Very happy with the purchase. Had to be very picky with which GPUs I could buy as my case (ITX NCASE M1) has very limited room for GPU (+ PSU in general) support. The 5700XT was an absolute bugger to squeeze into the case but this fits perfectly with a lot of room to spare.

My sapphire nitro+ arrived today, something I didn't expect to buy, but it was the only thing I've managed to get in the basket since that dark day in September
No time to install until Boxing Day though and no buyers remorse............yet!

How are you doing with coil whine? It's quite noticeable on mine unfortunately.
I bought a sapphire 6900xt the other day. It's just the reference card in a sapphire box. I have pretty bad coil whine as well. It has reduced a little in the last few days but it's the loudest coil whine I've ever heard.

People aren't kidding when they say these new gpus are huge! Didn't expect the fit to be this tight. Also noticed that one of my ram sticks is dead....
Wonder if plugging in the gpu changed something, installing gpu drivers as I write
Edit: ram back to life. Nothing after restart so reinstalled ram and that did the trick.... Strange

Might have nudged it a bit with the gpu when putting it in?

My coil whine is pretty bad too actually, Jeez. Let's see if it resolves itself
Sounds less whiney, more like static though, not sure if same thing?
Wow sounds like I’m very lucky to have none with mine 
Have you guys actually checked if the whine is coming for the 6900 XT or your power supply? Seen quite a few threads with people having 6800 XT where they actually found that the whine was in fact coming from their PSU. Unfortunately in these case the only way it seems to have been resolved was by swapping the PSU for another model/brand.

Fwiw, tried to run time spy extreme with a new 1000w psu. Computer screen went black, everything off except ram RGB.Unless i am mistaken Nobody in the world has reviewed a 6900XT red devil so if you can be bothered, buy a £15 socket meter and tell us
I suppose that either answers the question or I got some ****** up psu?
Edit: card probably isn't over drawing, I just hadn't plugged in the third pin, on a separate pcie cable like an idiot

what make 1000w psu? it might just be a case of making sure the right 8-pin cables going into the GPU are connected to the right connector on the PSU.
the 6900XT reference PCB board is rated for 330 watts peak, it is unlikely that the board will trip a 1000w psu unless something is wrong with either the configuration or the PSU itself. If non-reference it probably will draw 380-400 watts peak.
I would check the cables first and then swap the PSU back. for a quicktest. you could also just run the GPU on your secondary psu, just to test, with nothing else connected to the PSU.
Corsair RM1000i
However!.... I also just realised that I only plugged in 2 of the three pins.... Hopefully that hasn't damaged my card? Lols...
If its just a missing power cord the system will go black simply because the GPU cut out because it ran out of power. It would not have damaged the card in any way.
With that PSU, if you plug the right cables in and install the Corsair icue software, it will tell you exactly how much power the GPU is pulling through the 3 cables.

I haven't done anything because I have finally finished the setup and have the most awful coil-whine that has just started and am now in process of RMA for it! You can hear it from outside the room. Seems like this a pretty big issue considering sample numbers!
Edit: Deffo the GPU as well. I have tried two PSU's and both got same issue and you can clearly hear it is from GPU as mine is vertically mounted at front of case.

I think it's the same thing. For me, it's not just how loud it is, it's how the noise changes depending on the GPU load (I guess). When the FPS is above 200, it sounds like I have a spectrum tape deck that's been sucking down helium gas in my pc.
I've tried a cooler master 1000W M2 and a corsair RM750x and the whine is the same using both power supplies. Having put a bit of thought and effort into making this PC nice and quiet, it's kind of been spoilt a bit by what is the single most expensive component in it.
I very much would like Santa to bring me an Asus Strix 6900 XT LC but I think it will have to wait until the New Year.
