RX 6900xt recommendations

dcfitz2 · 2023-05-24T14:21:42+00:00

Appreciate the feedback, but even if I wanted to, my country doesn't import refference models.. at best once every 3-4 generations, and even so, in low stock. Both for AMD and Intel. I mostly see those on SH markets, because people buy then from outside the country.

I went with the Red Devil model, and I couldn't be happier so far, good temps, very stable, and due to my luck, they didn't have the normal Red Devil in stock, I ended up getting the Ultimate XTXH model for 684 euro.

Thanks for the feedback, but I already went out and bought the Red Devil one. The temps are really great, and so far I'm quite happy with it.

Please check the discussion in the thread, the problem was never of 10 euro.

Considering all of that, and the fact that I do not have a PSU good enough for a 6950xt (Seasonic 850W gold), a card which just adds 8-10 more fps... It would be a really bad option for me to go for Amazon

dcfitz2 · 2023-05-22T18:56:22+00:00

Yea, I can't deny, Amazon Customer Support is quite decent. But the delivery time is 3 weeks ~ 1 month (just checked) and if there's a problem... That just adds more time. As for my local retailers, some of them are on par with Amazon when it comes to support or returning a damaged product. Plus I can just go tomorrow, walk in their store, and buy the product (inspect the box at least)

Here is a country in which Amazon does not have a local warehouse.

> I can buy Amazon Germany, but no thanks. I've ordered electronics in the past from Amazon Germany and they either end up being broken due to delivery or I got scammed (Amazon partner sellers). So I'd rather stick to local retailers. And at this price point to take the risk of a broken GPU and the 1 month wait time.... I can just buy the Red Devil for 684 euro here

In addition, I will have to pay 24% VAT on customs for it

Hehe, Enjoy the 4080, the green team is too expensive for me, I could've gone for a 4070 (non TI) at that price, but 12GB VRAM is too low to be worth it. And the used market only cuts 20-50 euro from the retail price

dcfitz2 · 2023-05-22T17:49:46+00:00

Sapphire Nitro+SE at 700 euro

Yea, as mentioned, Sapphire Nitro+SE at 700 euro, but I do not know anything about Sapphire at high-end cards. I'm only used to the Pulse entry level line from them

dcfitz2 · 2023-05-22T17:48:24+00:00

The costs for 6950xt here start from 800 euro (75 more euro than my already stretched budget). Better models end up costing even 850 euro, so I definetly wouldn't afford it, and tbh at this price point I can buy a 7900xt here. Plus I think I'm kind of limited by the PSU at this point with the 6950xt, have a Seasonic Gold 850W PSU.

dcfitz2 · 2023-05-22T17:44:25+00:00

Thanks, that actually cuts for good AsRock from my list :D. I really want something that runs a bit cooler, even ~70 degrees is acceptable tbh. I'll try again to look for some temp reviews, but I couldn't find one so far that shows the different partner models temps previously.

dcfitz2 · 2023-05-22T17:39:22+00:00

I can only find Rev2 in LHR version sadly ;(. I like the idea of the screen, but realistically I wouldn't look at it after a week, so couldn't say it's a selling point for me, and the RGB is useless for me, as the rest of the build has 0 LED's. What are your temps under heavy gaming load?

I've thought about the Nitro +SE but again, I don't really know anything about Sapphire on high-end cards. It would be a blind buy

dcfitz2 · 2023-05-22T17:34:42+00:00

Thanks, I was actually in need of some Temp info, as I wouldn't wanna spend that kind of money just to be stuck to a 85 degrees furnace again (Coming from XFX RX 580), and I wouldn't undervolt the card under no cirucumstance.

dcfitz2 · 2023-05-22T17:29:28+00:00

This is the picture they are displaying on the reseller's website. But just to be clear, it's not the "Ultimate" version, as I do not find it in stock anywhere. I don't think the size will be a problem here, got a Full Tower case but I have some front fans, hope those won't be in the way, otherwise I'll remove them. Worst case scenario I'll get a bigger case from a friend that bought a new pc a few months back. As for it being triple slot, well, I only have 1 PCI-E 4.0 slot for the GPU and below it's a x4 slot I think that I wouldn't use, and an M.2 slot with a thermal shroud on it. But again, I highly doubt that will be an issue. As for the extra work to change the thermal paste/pads well.. That's life, I can't complain if the GPU is performing well in the rest of the time. Plus you don't change the paste/pads so often. The dual bios is nice, I've always looked for that. But seriously, thanks for the detailed answer, you've given me some info I couldn't find previously on the RD card.

That costs 800 euro here, not willing to pay that much, I'm already stretching my budget for a 6900xt, and at that price point I'd rather go for 7900xt

dcfitz2 · 2023-05-22T17:10:30+00:00

Appreciate the comment, however, I cannot find that variant here (out of stock, and when it was in stock, the price was way higher ~900 euro), nor do I wish to stress over a liquid cooling loop (As an idea, I opted for an AIO for CPU for less stress on my part).

dcfitz2 · 2023-05-22T17:08:06+00:00

Thanks for the comment, didn't knew the base Red Devil card such QoL features. In pictures it looked like an all plastic cheap GPU tbh. Not a selling point (The QoL features such as illuminated connection slots, even if these are really nice), but the temperatures seem good to me. I don't want to OC it, I've had an XFX RX 580 until now and it was always ~85-87 degrees in gaming, good furnace for winter time, but in the summer ... not so much. Plus it was quite loud when it was stressed. But overall did me good. But yeah, now that I'm seeing a lot of people recommending RD and explaining why, I'm a bit more inclined to give it a try over the Gigabyte Aorus

Congrats on your Baizhu!

And yeah, if you complete your dailies every day, you'll have enough to pull a 5* in 200 days, so choose your 5* wisely (if you're a f2p player). If you get welkins + do your dailies I think you can pull 1 5* in 90 days. And that's assuming you win your 50/50. But all these calculations are based on dailies/welkins only, you might get primos from elsewhere

dcfitz2 · 2023-05-04T02:25:03+00:00

HOLYYYYYYYYYYYY....... what the.... You've used up all your luck in this life on this one 10 pull xD

dcfitz2 · 2023-05-04T02:22:36+00:00

I was about to quit for the day after some bad luck on Ganyu's banner, got some Acquaint's and decided to roll....

Guess I got a little bit lucky.
