![]() I torture tested it a while ago and never went over 85☌ junction and 80☌ GPU while using 300W. I have the 6900XT Nitro+ SE in my HTPC for VR and it's silent while operating and I've capped it to 280W. ![]() Which is why it is not uncommon to see RX 6900 XT and 6700 XT sitting on shelves with inflated prices. While GPU shortage is still a thing now and in the near future, I feel the RX 6900 XT's price have been pushed way off what its worth now. Price wise, I think AIB partners can price what they want, but chances of moving large number of units is slim to none, unless its a desperate miner. It is only when it hits 100% fan speed when I thought some siren went off in my computer. I've used a Sapphire RX 6800 XT Nitro+ with a 350W power limit, and the fans are nowhere near this loud even with it running at 70%. Even RTX 3090 with 450W power limit don't get fans that sound this loud. 60 decibels is not funny at all and definitely something to recommend against buying this card. Tack on a 400w power draw and an insane pricetag and that's an easy three strikes.The noise level is insane. Even if you want an AMD card, there's also a case to be made for skipping the RX 6900 XT and stepping down to the RX 6800 XT - or there would be if either one were regularly in stock at prices closer to AMD's MSRP.Īlvar Miles Udell said:48dB at 52% fan speed and 60dB at 75%!Īny GPU which requires headphones because it's so loud at NORMAL fan speeds is not even a consideration in my book. If you're after 4K and maxed out settings, and you want to be able to enable ray tracing in the games that support it, AMD's Big Navi GPUs are decidedly less enticing. Skip ray tracing and run at 1440p or 1080p and performance basically matches and sometimes exceeds the RTX 3090, at lower prices than you'll find on Nvidia's halo card. Ten months after the official launch, AMD's RX 6900 XT still occupies an interesting position. For pure gaming performance, the RX 6900 XT manages to trade blows with Nvidia's top GPUs and might be worth the cost… unless you care about ray tracing, in which case the RTX 3080 Ti easily comes out ahead. ![]() Of course, part of the reason for the inflated GPU prices is Ethereum mining, and the RX 6900 XT only manages about 65 MH/s - not enough to command the sort of prices that we still see on RTX 3090, 3080 Ti, and 3080. Plus you can get Far Cry 6 and Resident Evil Village for free for the time being, potentially offsetting the cost a bit (assuming you want both games). Is the ASRock RX 6900 XT Formula worth $1,700? Normally, this would be a hard pass, but in the present climate there will undoubtedly be some takers.
