Given up trying to embed! There she blows, aesthetically the best looking card I've owned, so damned quiet too! Puts my old Palit 1080 Ti to shame.

water block sitting in Germany waiting on shipping, so some temp soft tubing as a workaround for now

I can't seem to find that option in the app, would I need to use the desktop version of the site?

IainTKD · 12 Feb 2021 at 11:24

For posting photo i just uploaded the image to imgur, when it shows your image, right click and select copy image address, then click the wee image icon in here and paste in the image address, probably an easier way but whatever works

Or if on mobile I guess long press the image to get copy image address

Was just about to post the same. Only way I have managed to post images on OC forum.

In other news, such is the state of the GPU market, I sold my 2080Ti for £750 on eBay yesterday. So the 28% improvement in Time Spy the 6800 XT has given me has been relatively cheap.

Couldn't get the app working but now home on the PC so here goes!

Fantastic card so far, after 10 years on Nvidia the control panel takes a lot of getting used to but I like the more modern interface and the fact functions that were separated into GeForce Experience are integrated. The only issue I have is that the BIOS toggle doesn't seem to work for me, initially both just gave the performance mode. I then switched to software control and got the silent BIOS working through Trixx, but now switching back to the other settings keeps it in silent. Odd.

Will also post this here as it will also apply to 6800 XT users.

Did some memory performance testing in Red Dead Redemption 2 and again i saw the behaviour play out as i mentioned before, 2112Mhz appears to be the sweet spot, at least in games.

Testing was done using the built in game benchmark.

2160P
RDR2 DX12
Ultra Settings - Tree Tess Off, MSAA/Reflection Off Water quality High, Refraction/Reflection 3/4.
TAA enabled and sharpness 100%
5950X PBO
6900 XT 2270-2370Mhz Undervolted to 1.000v (actual in game core clock is minimum of 2300Mhz, peaks up to 2325Mhz)
21.2.2
Fast Timings On
No MPT, using default board power limit 289W+15% power limit so no chance of power limit affecting results as power draw was 220W-240W ish according to HWINFO64.

2012Mhz Memory Clock

2112Mhz Memory Clock

2150Mhz Memory Clock

This behaviour in memory clock performance has been the same now on 1x6800 XT MBA, 1x6900 XT MBA, and 2x 6900 XT Mercs.

Don't run your memory at 2150Mhz when gaming folks, you are possibly getting stock levels of performance. In synthetics you can crank it up to 2150Mhz and see gains, but games seem to see reduced performance back to near stock levels.

apologies, I wasn't too clear - I was extrapolating that the card was a 390 as it looked like a product shot of the 390 with it's box.

It's been a long day.
