    Where is this urgency for new GPUs coming from?

    I had no urgency until I saw how Cyberpunk wrecks my 1080 Ti (Watchdogs Legion also allegedly wrecks video cards, but I don't like Ubisoft games, so idc). I am really not excited to try new releases that will be optimized for new console gens. I just want to continue playing video games on my...

    Does 6800xt Nitro+ live up to the hype?

    Hmm, but things like that would prolly also rely on how "popular" a particular brand and model is, no? Adoption rate usually also correlates with software support. Sapphire and its Nitros seem like a pretty damn hot product, even before this covid gadget craze. I get a suspicion I might not even...

    Does 6800xt Nitro+ live up to the hype?

    Can't wait for Bullzoid to finally do it. Yeah I am of a similar mindset. It is pretty damn wasteful to do so, but my major caveat is that Nitro+ managed to be around the same price at European retails at like €820 something, while the reference card is €799 lol. Might as well try and get the...

    Does 6800xt Nitro+ live up to the hype?

    In regards of 6800 xt Nitro+ though, do you think it is a worthwhile idea to pursue one, only to then put a waterblock on it? A lot of people consider reference model to be the go to option for waterblocks, but thing is that I always thought the PCB will be the arbiter (besides the bin) of how...

    Does 6800xt Nitro+ live up to the hype?

    Hmmm, is it a secret which retailer you use that got some pre-order queueing? I wish AMD had someone like EVGA, their implementation to combat scalping and make the distribution fair, sounds pretty nice. And all of that is done straight from their website.

    Does 6800xt Nitro+ live up to the hype?

    Also would like to mention, if 1 card needs to be Yeah, that was a dumb mistake. I meant mainly the OC headrooms, but I guess I am so fixated on this parameter that I unconsciously ignored other things. One caveat about the Red Devil though. Isn't the "Limited Edition" Red Devil is designated...

    Does 6800xt Nitro+ live up to the hype?

    Hello, first poster here. What is the consensus on the Sapphire's "premium" 6800xt Nitro+ model? This brand is kind of positioned as "EVGA of Radeon" and carries lots hype and clout. However, it is kind of really underwhelming in some reviews. I enjoy Hardware Unboxed benchmarks, and this card...
