I've been having a hard time trying to get the colors right again with AMD. With nVidia there was an option called "Digital vibrance" which I used to lower the intensity of RGB colors in particular. Is there a setting like that for AMD?

What's the usual time on an item being dispatched? I ordered my 6800XT from OC on the 4th and it still hasn't shipped.
If you ordered on Thursday and the delay is still 3-5 for getting things shipped I expect you might see it tomorrow. More likely with you by the end of the week.

Yes m8, under Global Display then Custom Colour on the right hand side, you need the 'Saturation' setting.

Shipping email just received. So collection by DPD tomorrow for delivery on Wednesday. Woot! Time to see what the 5900X and 6800XT can do together. Genuinely thought I wouldn't be in this position until at least the summer. All thanks to the stock informer websites.

Great result. Don't forget to add your card to TROH.

Been out the OC scene for a while especially with AMD cards. What is everyone using to overclock? The default Radeon software, Rivatuner, Afterburner?

had a brief dabble using the Radeon software and ran timespy with vram set to 2150 fast timings, 15% power limit, 2650min, 2750max, default voltage, and seems stable so far

average frequency for both clocks seem lower than expected though.

This is my Sapphire 6800 XT Nitro+
nsGQt0w.jpg
here's a couple with it in the system. Unfortunately i don't have any before i put it into the case, though i will be dismantling soon once my hardline fittings arrive, so will have pics for then.

Super tight for me as i'm using a 60mm rad.. so i have less than 15mm gap (one pic shows a 14mm tube stuck in between for reference)

I didn't plug in the RGB header as i made the mistake of filling the loop and now i can't reach the header on the motherboard, but if it's being plumbed soon, i'm not fussed.

Also have a few 180 degree pcie adapters, but due to the shape of the backplate, without sanding down one area, they won't fit, so i'm cusom cabling my PSU cables to make it tidier than what it is now.

Temps before was aroun 40-50c idle and upwards of 90degree full load (hotspot temp). Now i'm idling around 30c and full load never touches 52c

Have you installed it yet? I needed 2 supports as although it’s a lighter card than the MBA, it’s still 1.2kg and it sags at the end.
Amazing performance though. I sold my 3090 as it didn’t represent value for money and performance like this does.
I’m getting a 20k timespy score with it, within touching distance of a stock 3090 founders card and pocketing £700 difference.
I have installed it, there is a little bit of sag, i might try and sort it when i put the water block on it.

Just glorious... I bet you are over the moon to have a 3080 equivalent level card in your possession!

Wow... are you my doppelganger? I did the exact same and had that email yesterday with no update today. Fingers crossed ours arrive by the weekend!

Paying £200 more for the XT but it's worth it in my opinion for the extra boost to ensure 4k 60fps in all games but cyberjunk and Microsoft Screenshot simulator. :p

Haha, yeah no update yet for me, still stuck on not yet received your parcel.

Yeah it ended up costing me about £200 after fees/posting my rx 6800 to upgrade to a 6800xt from here
And yeah while it may be about 10-15fps more in games that should benefit me quite abit playing at 1080p 240fps and especially with the cooling/oc potential of an AIB card compared to the 6800 reference it should be a nice boost.

Did you just happen to be looking at the printer section in the last few days?

I had a glance on Tuesday and to my shock OCUK had the 6800xt Nitro+ SE up for sale which is what I originally always wanted but only had 6800's & 6900's when I was looking 2 weeks ago.

I just couldn't resist even for the ripe old price of £929.99 so grabbed one almost without a second thought... The 6800 was good, but the XT SE? Now that's Amaretto & Cigar stuff... :p
