   Awesome RDNA2 GPU tippity top quality
   PC specs:
   Ryzen 5900x
   32Gb 4133mhz @ 3000mhz cl 12-12-12-12 1t 1.36v
   MSI X570 Unify
   Evga 1000 w 80+ platinum
   Powercolor RX 6900 XTU
   Thermaltake core P5 case
   LG CX 48″
   Was able to get this at the new MSRP shipped and sold by Amazon.
   New pricing is still ridiculous but it was in my budget and I had the powercolor 5700 xt red devil and loved it so wanted to stick with the product line.
   This thing is a beast, and runs just about everything maxed out at 4k 60+fps while doing rasterization, Ray tracing is lacking in performance and also seems like devs just use it now to tick the box off so not something I really care about. The only games to use ray tracing well are cyberpunk 2077 and watchdogs 2. Idk it’s whatever.
   Temps never go above 73c no matter what I play, or even running benchmarks while using the OC bios and default fan profile with the latest drivers.
   No crashes, bsod, or compatibility issues what so ever. AMD drivers have come a very long way.
   GPU core clock is usually around 2500mhz and VRAM is insanely fast at times reaching the same 2500mhz. Default fan profile is pretty quiet and not irritating at all, it can get up to around 2000rpm on the fans which is very audible especially since using a semi open case, if this was in an enclosed case would guess that it would be near inaudible. No coil whine on my unit (thank the hardware gods), power draw has reached up to 320 w, from what research has been done would need to unlock it to get upto the 400+ watt. Might try it at a later time but it’s really not worth IMO for a few extra mhz handful of frames. Nice to have the option though.
   The lighting is full RGB, comes default red. Do have to get the lighting app installed in order to change it, but after it’s set it saves the setting on the hardware so can uninstall LED software after changing the color/effect which is awesome.
   Love being able to run everything around the same performance level as a RTX 3090 for $1k cheaper in today’s wacky market. Like others have stated if you care about ray tracing this will get the job done but at lesser performance than an Nvidia 30 series but you will pay extra for that. Was going to go with a $3k 3090 but talked myself out of spending that much on a slightly better GPU, not worth.
   If you do go with this card you won’t be disappointed. Happy gaming!

   Finally a reasonable price for a solid GPU
   At $799 it’s an ok buy. I don’t think it’s a screaming deal by any means, but it’s ok. After several years of insanely overpriced cards this is sadly about as good as it gets.
   Performance is good, and it runs fairly cool which was a surprise. I mean, it better, the heatsink on this thing is massive. I have a 144hz 1440p monitor and for the vast majority of my gaming time I’m sitting right at 144 fps. I’m quite happy with that. I upgraded from a 5700XT which did fine, but rarely made it up to 144 fps in most games.
   I’m running with a 5800X and a bunch of fans off a Seasonic Platinum 750 watt PSU. Total system power draw under heavy load is in the low 600ish watt range. So as long as your PSU is good, 750 watts is fine.
   I’m also only using two power cables for it. I thought I had enough outputs for three independent cables from my PSU, but I only had two. So I’m using the pigtail ends to power two of the 8 pin connectors off one cable. It works fine. The total power that cable could theoretically draw is 300 watts, which is no problem for a decent PSU. And in reality the total power draw for the entire GPU usually sits around 300 watts, which is split across the three connectors up top, as well as up to 75 watts from the PCIE slot itself. So yeah, don’t listen to the people who insist you must use three separate cables. I’ve run mine on benchmarks for over 30 minutes at 100% utilization, no issues.
   The only downside I had was the shipping. Amazon actually shipped me an $800 GPU in a plastic bag! Not even a padded bag, just a thin piece of plastic. No packing material. Luckily the retail box is very well padded inside. But seriously, expensive electronics with what amounts to a grocery bag for shipping? Ridiculous.

   The facts.
   This thing is amazing. (Opinion). This card, the Ultimate, MSRP’S for $1599 (Fact) This is not a $999 Reference card. (Fact) This card has an XTXH Binned chip. (Fact) please stop reviewing cards negative Because you over paid or don’t want to pay scalper prices. This is a disservice to reviewing any GPU for its performance. If you want to rate a $999 good GPU of any brand or manufacturer as a bad value because your paid $3000, please stop. The value of a card should always be based on the MSRP never what you decided to pay.
   Now if your read through that, this card is great. I personally don’t have coil whine, or mine is not bad enough to notice. Power Colors custom cooler is genius. This air cooled card has taken everything I’ve thrown at it (I am not an extreme overclocker, though I do overclock) and had never averaged over 72c. AMD, needs to pay Power Color what ever money they want in this world and make this cooler an industry standard. I really can’t say that enough. Good RTX lighting. (No it is not an Nvidia RTX card, it will never have RTX effects like an Nvidia card) If Ultimate RTX lighting is your go to thing. This won’t be it. But still looks absolutely amazing. If you have to have DLSS. This doesn’t have it. (Though I can not personally attest towards Super Fidelity FX.) I had a 2080 TI before this and never turned on DLSS. (Disclaimer: DLSS is an amazing technology)
   TLDR: Fast, Cool, Quality, Looks Amazing. Should you but it? This is a great card. It’s worth whatever you feel is a fair price for this card. But if you $3000, and you have remorse, DON’T TRASH THE CARD.
   Thank your for reading my humble rambling.

   Excellent Graphics card
   First AMD, thank you for being open source. I use Linux and had NO problems installing drivers under Ubuntu. I am a design engineer and I do a lot of 3D renderings of detailed buildings and rooms and have had no problems plus the speed is remarkable. What would take 30 minutes to render now takes a 1 minute or 2. The GPU fan can be a bit loud but nothing some music can’t overcome.

   When I first got the gpu the coil whine drove me mad but, overtime you get used to it and the sound blends into the backround. Second point I see is people returning this graphics card because of the coil whine, which is stupid since every gpu coil whine’s and the fact that the 4000 series are trash and havent changed the prices of gpu’s to much, getting the 6900xt is probably your best bet for really good graphics. I haven’t encountered a game that I cant get more then 300 fps (Fair warning the graphics card will get louder the higher you push it so after you have putting you fps at 2000 just set it to your monitor refresh rate for more quiet gameplay.) on with all high settings this gpu is an absolute deal I would recommend waiting for a sale of at least 20% like I did saved me about 200-300 dollars. Tldr pc is good coil whine is meh unless if you wanna spend 500 dollars on a more quiet gpu but other then that 10/10 would recommend.

   La mejor 6900xt que he probado (he probado la saphire, la asus,….) Necesita el espacio de 3 ranuras por el tamaño del disipador. El rendimiento es bestial. La quería para linux: steam, protón… el no va más!.

   e veramente quello che un amd gamer vuole TOP VERAMENTE TOP
   LUNICA COSA CI VUOLE UN BUON AIR FLOW CHE LE TEMPERATURE DI QUESTA SCHEDA SONO UN PO ALTE .

   I’m loving the card so far. I’ll hear the coil wine once in a while, it’s not constant, and I wear headphones, so I barely notice it.
   Paired with R7 5800X, using the Radeon software makes it easy to change settings and performance. I have been running all games at max settings at 1440p 240fps. Can’t complain.
