Snag a 6900XT

Fri Jan 29, 2021 10:09 pm

I had managed to snag a Sapphire Nitro+ 6900XT at the Newegg. It wasn't cheap, but boy it is a big sucker that manages to dwarf the RX Vega 64 that it replaced. I had some difficulty getting it to fit inside my current chassis. In terms of performance, it is easily twice as fast as Vega 64 if not more but consumes about the same amount of juice at maximum load. Under older stuff and when I limit it to match the current monitor's refresh rate (2560x1440@144hz). It barely reaches utilization 40-50% and consumes about as much power as my old 660Ti at maximum load while dancing circles around it. That's pretty impressive from an efficiency standpoint. It is able to play Quake RTX thanks to recent Vulkan patch and it pulls out a respective ~100FPS at 1920x1080 which is about on par with a 2080Ti.

We should be checking for pods in Krogoth's basement!

Not sure which is less believable -- Krogoth being impressed, or a 6900XT actually shipping...

Nope, it is real and products are shipping if you are willing to look hard enough and pay out the current premiums.

Yeah - it's painful, but possible. I snagged my 6800 XT at MSRP after a lot of time investment because there's NO WAY I'm paying current market prices for any GPU.

Fake news, there is no 6900XT available in the market, even more fake news, Krogoth is impressed. Nice try.
