11308-01-20G Nitro+ Amd Radeon Rx 6900 Xt Pcie 4.0 Gaming Graphics Card With 16GB GDDR6

A good value card in today's GFX terms ... Runs toasty though ;)

This is the best card I have ever had, very fast, very detailed and if you have 4K monitors , it has a wonderful picture and great textures. 99% of my games run at the highest settings. It runs hot on games that are not fully compatible, but I just adjusted my settings for that one game and it is fine. I have not tried to render video yet, but I am certain that I will have the same great results. There is only one card that can compete with the Sapphire Nitro+ AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT and that is the NVIDIA RTX 3090. But the kicker is ,you need to have and want to spend $3,500.00 plus in this crazy market right now. The 3090 does out perform this card slightly, but nothing worth $3,500.00 and the benchmarks that show these findings are computer generated and would not be detected by the human eye. In addition, this is all with the default settings. You can achieve greater results by manual tuning with the Radeon software. With the default Radeon software, under the performance tab and manual settings, I configured it to perform at 2525MHz @ 303Watts. I could have gone higher, with both Frequency and Watts, but I wanted to keep my temps down. You need to adjust the settings manually to get better results than the presets modes. You can save your settings to a file and it will keep those settings even after you reboot or shutdown. If you preform a driver update, you will only need to apply your profile settings after the update. All really easy with the default software.

I was skeptical of the other reviews, but I received what appeared to be a brand-new card. However, as soon as it's under load, it crashes my entire computer. I even paid $40 for a professional to check it, and the verdict was clear: it’s defective. The seller refuses to replace it, and the manufacturer says it's too old and that the seller isn't an official representative, so there's no warranty! It seems like these are subpar items discarded by the manufacturer. In hindsight, I should have bought a used one for half the price—you’d at least know it works and wouldn’t end up with a $1000 paperweight!

I have had this card for 4 months or so. Every few days it goes through a phase where it will freeze. It says driver error, then crashes everything. It DOES NOT handle ray tracing like the NVIDIA counterpart. Not that it's a huge deal, NATIVE 4K still looks good. But i thought i could go all AMD and be happy, Not the case. doing it over, AMD processor, NVIDIA GPU. This is due to the 3080 having better performance at roughly half the price... If i HAD to do an all AMD build again, i would choose the 6800XT considering the price for this is double and you only get(10% or so) a small increase in performance. I don't want to quote benchmarks because google is full of them BUT, in this market, i was taking what i could get... It does have some advantages though... I'm not an expert or a streamer so this is just an opinion of an average gamer... Don't spend the money until they work out the driver bugs...... and only buy if you have no other options......

I bought this card back in tax return season, and since it’s a 3rd party seller, the manufacturer refuses to replace it. Story is, I bought it for over 2 grand when scalping was really bad, when I received the card the packaging was open and not sealed but I didn’t think anything of it, that is until I went to use it and was getting the worst performance I’ve ever seen, my old 2080 super was performing far better than this was “brand new” The person who sold it to me, used the card for what I’m assuming was crypto mining, as the card is behaving like it’s years old and can’t handle even old titles like apex legends above 90 FPS on low settings. Pitiful, avoid this seller at all costs.

Card is extremely high quality, extremely fast, and huge. You're never gonna get "bang for the buck" with a card like this but if you simply want bragging rights this will do the trick. Some things to note: Make absolutely sure you don't daisy chain a single power cable into each 8 pin connector- you need a separate cable from your power supply going into each 8 pin power connector. By default this card limits its own power draw to below spec and that limits performance. This is a 300 watt card but default setting limits it to drawing 250 watts and even rage mode limits it to drawing 280 watts- both of these result in performance that is below what it should be stock(not sure if this is a Sapphire issue or an AMD driver issue). Make sure you set your profile to manual and set the power tuning limit to max- this will allow the card to draw the full 300 watts and clock itself the way AMD intended under load. I also suggest editing the fan curve because the stock fan curve is a little conservative(favoring quietness and allowing higher temps). Enjoy.
