Now to test if it works okay.

Some initial thoughts having spent over an hour playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare with @humbug.

It is completely silent, fan profile is very conservative.

I was able to undervolt from 1.150v to 1.000, a -150mv undervolt. Unheard of from memory that you can undervolt by so much.

Clock speed was around 2330-2350Mhz, about 100Mhz over the advertised core clock boost clock speed.

Memory seems good for a 100Mhz overclock over stock.

Performance is almost twice that of Radeon VII from what I've seen.

Edge temperature was around 75c, Junction was around 90c. Fan profile was stock settings.

 

[Gears]

Anyone else think the default fan profile is a bit too conservative? It never goes over 40% if I am not mistaken.

 

[JediFragger]

Nice one @LtMatt !!! I love the quality of the card itself and that AMD packagaing is epic

 

[JediFragger]

Still learning and tweaking mine but settled on this with a Timespy graphics score of 19407 (beating an overclocked Red Devil!). Just have to tone down the fan curve a bit;

Do note though that it looks like I have particularly good silicon!

That's a very impressive score on Timespy, nice one!

@LtMatt good job on bagging an AMD branded one. Cheaper, and that box could go on the wall!

Doesn't it feel so substantial? Absolutely solid, feels like it's been carved out of clay.

 

[JediFragger]

That's a very impressive score on Timespy, nice one!

I swear it's more than 10 years since I bothered to benchmark! I thought I'd give it a go though

As fast as a 3950X 2080Ti SLi system in it, crazy!

Seems solid so far and temps in the mid-60's with a quiet fan profile, this card just impresses me more and more tbh. Now I kinda don't mind paying the £680 OcUK pricing that I did

The 6900XT is gonna be a *beast*

That looks like a really sweet card mate

It seems from reading this thread that AMD have a great GPU on their hands this time and most seem very happy with their new cards?

What size AIO is that in your case Matt, 420mm?

Have they released the specs and price of the 6900XT yet?

edit: Top score there, seems you've got a golden sample?

Yeah man it's been a fair few years since I landed one! As for specs of the 6900XT it's 72CU vs 80CU but pretty much the same everything else so expect 11/12% performance difference at the same clock speed.

Do you have a Freesync monitor by any chance? Just wondering if the new cards are better at it than the 5700XTs? I wasn't impressed with it before but interested to know if it's improved at all?

Yeah man currently running a Dell S3220DGF. When you say 'not impressed' what exactly do you mean? Higher fps? Don't have a problem with this card or my previous 5700XT with it tbh.

Mine just kept dropping to something like 48FPS IIRC, and lagged and spiked, it was a far smoother experience with it off, it's likely I did something wrong and I was expecting it to feel and look more fluid, maybe my expectations were too high as well?

Yeah have always had pretty good experiences with Freesync and Gsync tbh, v rare that I have a problem. Without knowing more I couldn't hope to diagnose sorry.

That's ok, just wondered if it was a common thing?

I think I need to stop looking at these rather nice looking cards, otherwise I'll be tempted, and I've only just bought a 3080 (due Monday)

Agreed, and tbf man that TUF 3080 will serve you well for quite a while! Time to chillax and enjoy some games for 2/3 years
