In review: AMD Radeon RX 6800 si AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT

Somehow these video cards are seen by PC gaming enthusiasts as a lifeline from the clutches of that evil society with a green cloak.

There are serious ones. And AMD is priced in a more “upscale” area than before. They give Robin Hood, but they also have some investors to thank.

Remember, it all comes down to profit for these companies. Yes, of course he loves to innovate. For this alone they started to work in the fields where they work. But without cheese, you can’t really bring those innovations.

And it is normal for AMD to announce that top of the range around 1000 euros, compared to 600-700 euros as the high-end used to mean. It is a company that will take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself.

Basically, Nvidia took all the hate and when the world calmed down came this Robin Hood called AMD with non-insensitive prices like those proposed by Nvidia, but also through the same place.

Furthermore, compared to Nvidia, they also have slightly higher availability. That is to say that a number of dozen come to Romania at the launch. Not twenty, but few. PFOA. He gave me this information.

I’ve never heard of anything like it since your time … No. I don’t remember when there were enough stocks in Romania. Instead, I remember how all the online stores outside the country had stocks and we looked at the walls.

If Nvidia and AMD were to play chess, this release would likely be something of a queen’s end for AMD. That moment when that chess piece seems to go into berserk mode and start cunningly capturing everything it catches.

One day I was joking with a friend and telling him there were two GPU ingots. They’re heavy. Really heavy.

In fact, they are so heavy that they convinced me to weigh them and pose for them.

Indeed, these images can tell a lot. Heavy means a lot of copper used to cool the GPU and automatically a cooling system, perhaps a quieter idea than in the past.

Because AMD is well known for its turbines. But no, this is not the case even when you activate RAGE mode in the driver. Even then it’s pretty quiet.

However, the appearance of AMD cards has increased from a grade of 1 to anything above. It is a good direction on the surface.

Based on what constitutes these two video cards, they are powered by the RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT.

Their big news is ray tracing. And I’m not going to blow too much water on this subject right now. This topic will be covered in an individual material.

And an absolute novelty, or not so much, is the integration of the USB Type C port. Nvidia has removed them from the new RTX 3000, but AMD has added this port. To be honest, I find it useful. You never have too many C-types.

Another interesting aspect can be seen in this image. The fact that there is no evacuation on the back of the video card. Virtually all of the hot air is forced into the housing. This means you’ll need to think about some kind of airflow when building a PC using these reference cards.
