Found a red devil and its £900 difference for a whole new system vs just the gpu what do you think I should go for? Running a i7 5930K so its getting old.
Give us the specs and pricing man.

This.If it was me, I`d keep the Strix LC.
I had a Vega 64 LC.
It didnt miss a beat in its day.
keep hold of the LC.

Don't be shy show us your specs.Found a red devil and its £900 difference for a whole new system vs just the gpu what do you think I should go for? Running a i7 5930K so its getting old.
Well, that's not too bad considering the prices of 6900 XTs at retailers these days.Managed to pick up a 6900XT Merc Black for £1450 is that about the going price or have i been scalped ?

Be interested to know what the stock GPU clock speed is (in Radeon Software > GPU Tuning) and how well she overclocks. The Merc is a beast of an air cooler.
There is the Merc Ultra and the Merc Black. The Black has a slightly higher stock core clock at stock, probably a leakier chip and perhaps a marginally better bin.Not even unboxed it yet lol
I sent my Powercolor Red Devil Ultimate back as i thought £1800 was just a little too much.
I think the Black just get a very miniscule clock boost over the normal version.
My bad. The specs are:
Ryzen 7 5800x
Asus X570 Crosshair Hero
8GB RAM (Got a spare 16GB)
XFX Merc 319 16GB 6900XT
850W Corsair RM PSU
5000D Airflow
Corsair 150i AIO
1TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus
£2607
Or
Red Devil 6900XT
£1679

I've had both, but in my case the Ultra turned out to be the better overclocker, despite being £50 cheaper.
I'd go with the Merc pre built.

2700/2012Mhz in game.What was you're settings for you merc ultra for max OC?
The thing is I really don't want to spend anymore on hardware. GPU prices as is are high enough!!
2700/2012Mhz in game.
This is game stable under extended heavy load. It maintains 2700Mhz core clock in game. Using MPT to set a power limit to 400W, but it never really goes too much over 350-370W.
I can run higher clocks for Firestrike and other short benches, but they are not truly long term stable like this.
This market is ****ed, absolutely ****ed
Caseking too, shame on them!

They've some of the highest, if not THE highest prices outside of ebay scalpers.
Dunno if I should be excited or cry.
Things have never been this bad for gpu availability, amd are trying to cater to consoles as well as pc which would be bad enough without the pandemic, factor the pandemic in and availability is a farce. There's an alleged 70-80% of amd production going to consoles and a while ago MS and Sony were asking for more. Amd are supposed to be ramping up production and that was mentioned as recently as a few days ago, but with such a large chunk going to consoles it will probably not have that big of an effect on gpu availability.
It is comical though that both amd and nvidia continue to launch new cards when availability of the cards launched last year is virtually non existent.
I can set 2700 to 2800 mhz on the core, full power limit and 1110v with the memory slider at maxYeah a slap in the face to consumers. To fellow Red Devil owners what level of OC can I expect?
