The Radeon RX 6900/6950 XT Owners Thread.

[LtMatt]

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what the powercolor 6900xt red devil ultimate should normally cost, i know they are in shops for around £1600-1700, but i want to know what MSRP was actually supposed to be. Reference 6900xt was around £700, so im guessing their msrp is not £1000 more expensive

Reference 6900 XT was never £700, it was $1000 US and £850 last I looked on the AMD Store.

 

[Josh Racey]

856.99 is not 700

Close enough but still, im wondering is the red devil ultimate actually worth double the price? What would have been a reasonable mark up for it over the reference.

The entire conversation about msrp is they are both a loss maker and a work of fiction

I thought the AMD reference 6900xt was £999.99 ?
So would expect AIBs around £1200 upwards ?

Just looked back at the AMD slide its $999 which usually converts to the £999 pound equivalent.

Im not entirely sure that is still true, i have seen people bagging founders edition 3080s for £649

 

[Harlequin]

Price spy says the launch price was 1199.99 for the red devil

Just had a look then, thanks for that, made me feel a bit better about how much i spent, i know everything is up in price at the moment, i just want sure how far over i paid, i can live with a couple of hundred above launch price

 

[varkanoid]

I've just remembered the Ultimate has the bios switch I never checked to see which mine is on. Which setting are people using for TimeSpy etc ?

Should have a Gigabyte AORUS Radeon RX 6900 XT XTREME WATERFORCE arriving tomorrow

I see, i was going from the exchange rate from $999, granted £700 is a bit below that

Can you remember when top tier cards were that price and we thought it was mad !

 

[LtMatt]

Just like there are people every week bagging 6700,6800 & 6900s Fromm the AMD store every week at RRP. Just sadly no one in the uk since Christmas.

The last card i had was a 1070, i was reluctant forking out just over £400 for it at launch just shows how little i have paid attention to things for a while

Fair enough, the main thing was, i knew i paid over retail, thats just how it is, i just wanted to make sure i hadnt paid close to £1000 over. Looks like its more like a few hundred pound, which is a lot easier to deal with

Yep I hear you. I paid £1200 for my 6900 XT which was more than I wanted to spend, but having now used it since January I don’t regret the purchase at all.

[LordBeggar]

Guys, is 6900 XT good card for productive? I will be using it for 4k video encoding and Adobe Premier

I have the red devil ultimate, its one hell of card, and a crazy improvement from a 1070. Its
Nice to see games playing at the quality they were designed to be played at

That's cheap, what version is it? I just paid £1450 for the standard Red Devil, my thinking was that it should have been between £1000-£1200 but things are messed up. I wanted a 6800XT but I have never seen them in stock anywhere.
