Guys did you try Mass effect legendary edition with this card? all of them (1,2,3) got huge frame drops inside crowded areas (like the citadel), and my gpu usage is always low(40% max). I was wondering if might be an Amd issue with this title or there is something wrong with me.

whats your cpu useage (and ram)?

Cpu usage is very low as well, not sure How can i check Ram usage as I don't think I did put it in the riva tuner overlay.

Temps seems a lot better also 75oc hotspot 65oc core that's even with this hot weather

I am wondering maybe the cooler wasn't installed correctly and the card cooked itself

i spoke to soon the fix from gigabyte lasted about a day

lucky the place has offered to exchange it for a 3080ti at rrp so not to bad

oo the EK ones for the Nitro+ looks really nice but can't seem to justify spending that much to replace the AC one i have based only on looks.. sigh.

I managed to take 1st in Time Spy using a 3600 and Red Devil 6800xt.

https://www.3dmark.com/search#advan...ck=&maxGpuMemClock=&minCpuClock=&maxCpuClock=

I have taken my card apart to do a re-paste using IC Diamond. I also used a lot of this with the front and back of the card;

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K04D3UK?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

I also added this with a thick thermal pad over the gpu on the back of the card;

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VMMJCLY?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

I have done a loads of tests with this card with and without MPT.

I used 2640 to get that score with a PL of 335W +15% and TDP of 355A
gpu temp during the run stays under 73c and the hot spot is usually +20 to the gpu temp. The maximum wattage during the run is around 370 during the second test.
I am using a custom fan curve in Argus Monitor which I highly recommend. It can control all case fans and even the gpu fan no matter how they are set-up in the bios.

The card is truly not stable at anything over 2600 though.

I had issues with ME1, however 2&3 ran like melted butter.

This sounds like a classic example of single thread cpu bottleneck (AMD gpu's are more susceptible to this in DX11 titles that only use one thread for the draw calls).

One more for the RoH, 1st AMD card in about 9 years, just fancied a change:
MSI RX 6800 Gaming X Trio. It is unbelievably massive, I had to take a fan out the front of my case to fit it.

Welcome. MSI has one of the best custom PCB out there for 6800/6900XTs.

How are the temps and noise ?

AmDaMan · 19 Jul 2021 at 10:25

I've just blindly purchased the Power Color 6800XT as I couldn't get my hands on a 3080.. paid about 1k for it, ridiculous really. I'm hoping this card fits into an NP200 mini-itx case....

Will a 750w PSU be enough for this thing? Also, any need to knows with this card like tweaks, etc?

Cheers

750W should be plenty if its a quality PSU. Use two independent cables from PSU > GPU.

Should work fine out of the box without any tweaks required.

However you may want to set the min GPU frequency 100-200Mhz below the max frequency in Radeon Software > GPU Tuning as this can help improve perf over the stock configuration.

However you can improve performance further with actual overclocking, or alternatively reducing power draw and fan speed noise with undervolting at stock clocks. (still using the suggestion above mind you).

Did you go for the Red Devil?

AmDaMan · 19 Jul 2021 at 10:50

PSU is a Corsair RM750 - it's an ATX PSU but I've heard of people just using cable ties in the NR200 cases... I actually haven't built a PC in like 10 years, so hopefully I don't stuff it up.

I'll definitely be wanting to overclock this thing to the max, i'll be on the stock cooler though, no water going into this rig.

It is the Red Devil.

Matt nailed it on the head.

I have the msi version, 750w psu is fine, use 2 separate cables to the card, and I use 2350 min clock and 2450 max clock. Stock settings I was getting stutters and wired gpu usage on escape from tarkov

I paid £1200 for mine, most expensive card I’ve ever bought, but the performance it offers is excellent
