The Radeon RX 6900/6950 XT Owners Thread.

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

I'd leave the clocks unopened in the driver and tweak in game to check how it affects FPS. ALT+R for the overlay and tweak apply check. You might want to use HWinfo64 for graph the core voltage. You'll understand what I mean about it's behaviour then.

That's fairly ambitious, start with 1125mV maybe, or up it to that if you get problems.

Replying to the wrong person now lol. Still relevant though.
Leaving it untouched doesn't mean it uses the full 1175mv. You'll find it may sit more around the 1100mv range anyway. Give HWinfo64 a go to check the stock behaviour and go from there.

Is this normal? As in card running constantly PCIe slot @ x16 speed. I remember from experience with other GPUs that it wouldn't be the case in desktop.

Finally got my new GPU, coming from Nvidia RTX 3090 and never owning an AMD card I'm very impressed. Boosts well over 2600mhz at 65 degrees and for some strange reason games look sharper and feel way smoother than my 3090 FE on my LG Oled CX 48"

"look sharper and feel way smoother " it's surprising how often I've heard that been PC gaming for well over 20 years now. I use the 55bx, the good thing is the range is 40-120hz for freesync/g sync. So keeping in within those during gaming will get you the very smoothest experience. You have the option in the driver to cap the FPS to 120 too.

Niiiice! You got the best air cooled 6900 XT. Any chance of a pic inside the case?

I don’t know any unhappy 6900 XT Merc owners.

Does anyone know what temp should be the limit on this card? I feel 65 and 80-85 on junction is too hot?

110c is the safe limit out of the horses mouth (AMD) for the junction. With any silicon the lower the better.

 

[Supra_Hadouken]

Ok thanks

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

I have the standard Red Devil. My stable overclock for gaming is as follows:

Min 2525 Max 2705
1100 Mv
2112 fast timings for RAM
+15% power.

I was running very similar settings to those. It'll be very interesting to check what core voltage your card is using. Hwinfo64 is the easiest way. It might supprise you what it's using at those settings!?

6900XTX, 2450mhz boost clock and 18gbps memory with 10% higher bandwidth than 6900XT

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.​

Kinda sad to hear that for myself, because I had a choice between the Sapphire Nitro+ or the Merc and didn't know anything about the Merc and got the Sapphire.

It looks ugly to me.
Vega 64 LC was soooo much better!!

Don't be sad, the Sapphire is excellent also, i think the Merc just pips it in looks and performance but not by much. Sapphire is probably 2nd best IMO.

 

[Scougar]

I really like the 6900XTX LC design.

 

[Kaapstad]

It looks ugly to me.

I don't know about you but I prefer to look at the monitor when gaming.
