@BGA84 what is your temp at full load (say gaming for 30+ mins)? Thanks

PS Lookin' gooooooooooood all blue lighting

I fudged up the tagging of his name, for some reason if you tag after an edit it doesn't notify said member on the Alerts.

I learned something new today.

Yeah i didn't get a notification.

Not had a huge amount of time to test yet, but playing MSFS 2020 at 4K ultra was causing the junction temp to spike between 100-106. Usually though it has sat in the 70s or 80s with the GPU temp trailing just a little behind.

Thanks btw. The multicolour effect isn't really for me. Going for as clean and simple a look as I can

 

[JediFragger]

Thanks for the info @BGA84 and enjoy!! Epic cards

Aren't you gonna miss the RT performance? That has been the only letdown for me. Though, to be fair AMD not providing us with good RT showcase/sponsored games from their side has also contributed to this feeling.

I still think that RT isn't really important enough yet. Maybe in another 2 or 3 years, cards will be good enough to not take a large hit while using it. And more games will then support it also.

 

[robin66]

Yup, the AMD reference cards look fantastic for instance. Good solid acoustic performance too!

This card is very quiet. But I haven't done any overclocking as of yet.

I'm also really liking the AMD drivers as you have monitoring and overclocking software built into the driver install.

And thank you for adding me to the TROH, Kaapstad.

 

[Kaapstad]

Thanks for letting me know! Here they be (though I took the pics before I knew including my username was a thing!)

Welcome and on TROH.

To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your Radeon RX 6900 XT.​

I didn't realise that SE edition had three pins, interesting.

It looks really nice that. The Sapphire SE editions always look nice, my SE 5700 XT was similar (albeit much smaller).

I actually thought the Sapphire 6900 XT all had three plugs (8+8+6) and I set up the extra 6-pin cable in advance, and was sad when my Sapphire Nitro+ arrived with only 2x 8-pin plugs.

Hello, in a few days I am going to receive a 6900 XT Red Devil Ultimate, and I would like someone pass me some overclock + undervolt configuration that I could try on this card. I will only use it to play video games

Sounds like for an easy life just use max power on the slider (+15%) and just a vram tweak 2112 or 2122mhz should give the best results in games. Been the ultimate card it will boost very well been given the extra power to allow it to happen.

Should i use Memory fast timmings? And how much voltage? And minimun and maximun clock speed?

I've got a card on water and come to the conclusion that fighting an algorithm is a waste of time in gaming. It's worth using manual settings it you where doing for a 3dmark run to get a big score but not for daily gaming. I've noticed if you up the core speeds the voltage does what it likes and if you where to say set 1050mv down from 1175mv it will just use what it needs and the 1050mv goes out of the window. The other thing to watch out for by manually overclocking is clock stretching. That's where the clock reads higher than you where running and the performance drops off.(eg 2500mhz was 100fps and 2600mhz was 87fps) It can happen with the vram very badly too going too far in games.
Fast timings works fine for me, try 2112 first (credit to @LtMatt for that) and just +15% power.

 

[JediFragger]

Was saying this to Matt yesterday, cards are pushed so far now that for gaming you can pretty much plug and play (with a PL tweak) and you're away knowing that you're only missing out on the odd fps here and there.

Yep, I'm running at over 2.5ghz on the core with +15% (293w) and 2122mhz vram now. Peak temps on water been e45/j60c (low 40's edge and mid 50's junction more common)
It's just about good cooling and allowing it the power now, same with the Ryzen chips too. My crappy motherboard (£60 locally lol the only reason I have it) has a hard limit of 200w put even that gets me 30k in cb23. (Stock 4ghz all core(140w) to 4.5-4.6ghz) with 200w pbo motherboard set).

 

[Mikel.Zor-El]

I will start at 2112Mhz Fast timmings, +15 power limit and min 2600 max 2700 with a 1080v. I will share the results when the card arrives
