Yep. Some AIB 6800 XT's are outperforming the reference 6900 XT when both are overclocked because the AIB has a higher power limit.
$1200? Yeah, wouldn't even care if it was in-stock. Price is outrageous.
For what 7 more fps? There is a thing called diminishing returns and were talking massive diminishing returns.
I think that limit, if true, is more in place for people that are seeking overclock records using alternate cooling.
Hoes the performance on that sucker?
Keeping the AMD hands down.
Are you daisy chaining your 6900 XT...?
Not when it goes in the main tower.Are you daisy chaining your 6900 XT...?
I was asking tangoseal as its in his tower in the pic. I just noticed Kyle did as well. Y'all must be running some ballin' PSUs.
1kw PSU, it ain't breaking a sweat over 250 watts.
ax1200i here
I have seen one review talk about the 6900xt tripping safety features on PSU's. I have a Seasonic snow silent 1050 that I bought in 2016. Is there any reason to worry?
I think you will be fine.
The referance is at a reasonable price if one can get one. These AIB partners are riding the Nvidia wave and while faster, are a horrible $/perf ratio.
Very happy with the MBA 6900 XT. Zero issues. Extremely quiet as well.
Value can only be judged by individual involved in process.
Food for thought
Reference 6900 xt + WB & backplate $1200 300 watts
Red devil 6900 xt $1200 480 watts.
Price does not factor in my decisions
and knowing CIG the developer they likely won't fix this for awhile. So I'm a bit torn as I'm into SC at the moment, and my older 2080TI is handling it better. Decision time I guess... Keep or return...Yeah I think the only difference is the limited editions come with custom key caps for your keyboard or some other random crap. The cards are apparently the same in both the limited and non-limited editions.
Youre gonna burn out on SC very fast. Wait till you get constant 30ks.Installed my 6900XT last night - impressive performance and real quiet/silent but seems like Star Citizen isn't happy with AMD. Lot's of issues with textures
Yeah I've been quite patient with the bugs and crashes in SC and maybe too patient! Been involved with it for 5-6 years I guess. Only thing disappointing right now is seeing just how much more broken it is visually with the AMD vs the Nvidia card - didn't expect that. And CIG will likely do nothing to fix this for months or years. So I'll see what can be learned over the weekend with the settings, etc. (Of course my timing is bad to compare as 3.12 Live build also happens to be one of the worst patches with terrible fps in general.)
What were you running there? I have not seen mine when OC'd with power limit set to +15% pull more than 298W according to GPU-Z and my temps on demanding games, like Cyberpunk get up to 60-61C at near max fan.
Whats MBA stand for and what did you pay?
Made By AMD. $999 from AMD.com.
What are you running the mesh cpu bus speed at?
Yeah, I couldn't remember the name. I was trying to ask if your memory and infinity fabric were synched and at what speeds they were running.
I got my card at msrp, Asrock reference, from a local guy who got it from microcenter. He sold it to me for msrp 999 plus tax 6% and 40 dollar markup for an even 1100. So basically I got it at msrp. NOT gonna complain about that deal
