ASRock Radeon RX 6900 XT PHANTOM GAMING D Graphics Card 16GB GDDR6, AMD RDNA2 (RX6900XT PGD 16GO)

Pros: -Good Lord it's a mighty fast graphics card. -Overall, it's a nice looking card. Not derivative of others. -Solid build quality in both feel and looks. -Massive heat sink that works. On close inspection you can see full contact from thermal pads. -Good packaging (for the most part). -Overclocking boosts performance massively. Even the one click in ASRock Tweak. I haven't spent any time fine tuning but I got it to 2800 just to see. It'll pob hit 3000.

Cons: -EXPENSIVE. -They didn't do a good job hiding the heat sink behind the middle fan. You can see a large chunk of aluminum (not the fins, but an extension, I guess). -There were some creases in the foam when I first opened the box. Everything seems to be okay, but, kinda looked like the packaging was rushed or UPS really mishandled the package. -A couple of bent fins, but, not a big deal. -ASRock tweak leaves much to be desired. I've been spoiled from Sapphire Trixx. But, it works. -The, "PG", logo on the backplate doesn't light up. I knew that going in, but, man..Woulda been nice.

Overall Review: Some how I was able to grab one of these on Dec 11th. I actually wanted the Nitro + or Taichi 6800 XT, but never saw the Nitro in stock (not even for a second) and the Taichi was bundled with an Intel Mobo (no thanks). I've been kind of a die hard Sapphire fan, but have always owned ASRock motherboards so I know they have the ability to make a quality product. I'm glad I bought this card. Now I have a 6900 XT (no matter how "impractical"). It's an absolute monster. If you are on the fence about buying this because ASRock is new to the GPU game you should definitely buy this card. They have a 3 year warranty, most brands only have a 2 year. UPS needs to get it together. They crushed the box this was sent in.

Pros: Great card. I have one of the best PCs money can buy now. Driver install was easy

Cons: Over priced Hard to get

Overall Review: If you can get your hands on one for $1700 or less it may be worth it.

Pros: FAST!! (Did I mention it's FAST??) Really can't get it to 100% with the usual benchmarking tools. Stays under 70C at all times so far. Also quiet when under load- could only get it to run at ~70% so far.

Cons: MS Flight Simulator- still can't run it at 4k with everything on Ultra. (It's the new Crysis) But BOY does everything look gorgeous, as you'd expect. No ray tracing (for all practical purposes); this doesn't hurt in many games right now, since not many support it The one (center) RGB fan is ok, I'd rather go with all RGB or none.

Overall Review: Super fast, quiet so far.

Pros: Ive been holding on to my GTX980 for a long time and decided to upgrade this year. Not the best year to upgrade your videocard. The pros are great performances in 2k and 4k The gaming benchmarks goes toes to toes with a RTX3090 , beating it in some titles while losing in others but never with a huge FPS difference. I use this card with a 750W high end PSU ( seasonic 750 gold )

Cons: This card does not come with GPU bracket and it needs one. At this price range i would expect more then a installation cd in the box. Even with the backplate the card is sagging.

Overall Review: If ray tracing isnt a must , you should consider buying AMD The card takes 2 slots but is thicker then 2 slots , make sure you have enough clearance under Make sure your current PSU have the 3x 8 pins connector , i had to use both my PCI-E Cables Some picture of the card and compared to my old 980

Overall Review: Good performance, good temps, and looks better than the promotional shots would lead you to believe, even though I was skeptical at first about all 3. The default fan settings are a bit conservative for my tastes, but are easily changed in AMD's software at the expense of a little extra noise. Works fine with an 850 watt PSU in my system, (requirements say 900) but I don't have anything overclocked, so your results may vary. Other than that, it's big, so I got a support bracket for it as a precaution. It's a bit more expensive than I would have liked, but it's 2021, so it is what it is. Overall it's a pretty nice card and i'm happy with it so far.

Pros: -faster than reference model -quieter than reference model -prettier than reference model -compared to other third party cards, EXCELLENT value imo. -memory junction temps amazingly never top 80C, core temps incredibly well managed by cooling solution

Cons: -not great out of the box - stock settings were not good - performance issues. -user should be comfortable with manually adjusting card settings

Overall Review: At the price I paid for this card, i do feel like i got a bargain. I believe anyone who purchases this card is indeed getting a ton of performance for the dollar. However, as you can tell from my pro/con, I just don't like AMD's software and I don't like the stock settings this card employs. Spend the 30-60 minutes fiddling and playing with settings, get that sweet spot and never look back. Within the drivers I have 2 settings, one for mining and one for gaming, very easy to switch back and forth and SUPER stable, no issues at all. The cooling solution is very good and very quiet, major props to ASrock design team, just like most of their products, this is a ROCK SOLID design only slightly hampered by AMD's stupid software.

Pros: Makes your ep33n look bigger

Cons: Tariff tax tacked on

Overall Review: Thicker than my keyboard. So saggy it needs bra support. Blazing fast...RGB. 3440x1440 @144hz or 4k@60 no problem too. Freesync is smoother than shaving with nair and vaseline. But less hashpower so im waiting for my 3080...

Pros: -Best of the best currently (other than a water-cooled one) -Holds its own vs 3090 wins some titles loses some - 8k (haven't tested won't tho unless those prices come down) -Not a good crypto miner (A con but a pro allows people to get the card for gaming instead of mining strictly. Ram is slower than the 3090 and 3080's) -It looks very nice to me I like the one color fan in the middle (I'll be removing this tho when I can get my hands on a water-block, and it'll be invisible either way super custom pc build)

Cons: -Not useful for crypto mining (a pro also see pros ) - power hungry (3 power cables coming into the gpu but all new graphics cards are power hungry) - Currently getting 300fps on league(might be league haven't tried other games yet. I know way overkill for league. I am getting into machine learning and wanted newest graphics for that also coming from a laptop with a 940m) -Stock impossible to get for any card now (Why I got this one as it was available for a minute. Pro tip look for bots that post when things are available, you could scoop one up but literally has to be within the minute the bot posted it.... fun times won't miss that lol)

Overall Review: If you can get your hands on this sure any graphics card is worth it right now vs scalper prices. I would go with the amd version (non AIB version) tho and add a water-cooler to that probably better in the end (for the cost 70 for radiator 50 for pump and 160 for block almost same price ok little more but can overclock that.) This ones overclocked stock, and well made (heavy could use a mounting bracket as others have mentioned, but I'm laying mine flat with pcie 4 extension cable.)
