ASRock Radeon RX 6800 XT Phantom Gaming D Gaming Graphics Card with 16GB GDDR6, AMD RDNA 2 (RX6800XT PGD 16GO)

Pros: Runs every game flawlessly at 1440p. RE, Tomb Raider, Battlefield, Wolfenstein and Bioshock series are the kind of games I play and the card renders the newest ones beautifully and even perks up some of the older titles a little. Runs my Oculus Rift flawlessly as well. The fans stand at attention, spool up ultra quiet even under heavy load and come to a dead stop as soon as I log off of a game which are all huge pluses having an open air layout. Got it paired with a Seasonic Focus 850w power supply which more than handles the demand.

Cons: It is large and heavy. I went from a 1080GTX (pictured above the 6800XT). Had to mount it vertically and have a wine cork under the 3rd fan to keep it level because it didn't look right horizontal in the case with a card stand. Now for the ugly part but it is not the card's fault, the price. $1500 out the door, taxes and all is about how much I spent on my last entire upgrade. Is it worth it? To me yeah but I'm a tech addict. If you have a good bit of life left on your old card I'd hold till mid 2022.

Overall Review: Overall I'd recommend this card to anyone who has the change to spare and room in their case. If you're on the fence and can wait, definitely do so. It's a great card and is leaps and bounds above what I upgraded from.

Pros: -Couple percent behind 3080 at 4K and couple percent better at 1440 or below for 30% less money. -Best FPS per dollar out right now in a decent gaming card. After 2 years, finally GPUs below MSRP. -3 display port outputs. I need that for my 2 monitors and VR headset.

Cons: -It's big and heavy. Considerably bigger than at 5700XT - see pics. Make sure you have room. -Comes with nothing in the box. Not an adapter, cable, or even a sticker.

Overall Review: I think this is a good card for the money. New cards are coming out right now, but even with the 4090 that just came out, this is still the best performance per dollar out there. It doesn't outperform it, but it costs way less. This is a 300 watt card, so make sure your 750 watt power supply has at least 2 rails with dual eight-pin connectors or 3 rails with single eight-pins. PCIE rails are only good for about 200ish watts, so you can't run this off one wire without being a fire or damage hazard.

Pros: This thing runs all games like a boss. CP 2077 Ultra settings paired with 5950x/aorus x570 master/32gig trident z neo/1tb samsung 980 pro m2 gets me averaging 80-90 fps steady. When gigabyte comes out with a decent mobo bios and I'm sure amd will fine tune their software as well, it will get even better. 9 out of 10 all day. Edit, this is at 1440p @ 144hz.

Cons: Price

Overall Review: Would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Pros: 1st day of using the product, didn't need to install drivers (Had a radeon VII before, likely overlapped drivers or something along those lines with Adrenaline Edition).

Cons: Allegedly sucks up a lot of wattage(around 450W transient spikes?), which i'm slightly concerned about. Would recommend a quality 1000W PSU, even though i'm using an 850W right now. Make sure to use three separate pcie 6+2pin or greater connections which are each rated at 150W. Do not daisy chain.

Overall Review: Came at a good price, can't argue with that. This should set me up for beyond 2025, perhaps even 2030. Long time coming with the 4k panel I had since 2019.

Pros: Runs cool and great performance.

Cons: Heavy card(using Lego blocks for a temporary sag device)

Overall Review: Only had a chance to play Warzone so far. Hitting temps of 46c out of the box. Beyond pleased with this upgrade from a borrowed MSI ventus 2060 OC which ran at 81c

Pros: - Upgraded from a 1070 so the performance has been mind blowing - AMD has gotten a lot better than it used to and have had no issues on any game with drivers - Not OC'd I can easily hit 144 FPS in most games on high/ultra settings with 1440p and FSR makes it even better for games that support it and RSR for games that don't support FSR - Solid backplate and very little sag - Love the option to turn off RGB - RGB looks good - Great software

Cons: - Some coil whine but hoping it will simmer down after some use - Some weird interaction with a game on 1 screen while the other screen has a browser open while the browser plays a video ad. Could just be that site/game combo - Nothing but card came in box. Was hoping for a sticker at least

Overall Review: For the price during the sale, about $900 CAD after all fees, it was a steal of a deal. Performance challenges 3080 in some games and outperforms it in others if ray tracing is not used. A good buy if you want to upgrade and don't care about ray tracing. A bonus if you are into overclocking

Pros: The GPU is fast Easily overclockable via AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition software or other overclock software Graphics look great at 1080P and 1440P

Cons: Raytracing is not that good. It works but framerate gets quite a hit. Not all games have AMD's FSR baked in for AMD's raytracing.

Overall Review: I love it and highly recommend it.

Pros: very powerful, run all my games without a sweat

Cons: Very big graphics card. Make sure you check the dimension of your computer case and the length of this card!

Overall Review: I highly recommend this card; AMD has done an excellent job.
