AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT

[Bobica]

Can someone provide me or upload here a genuine bios from Sapphire RX 6800XT ?
IgorLab tested and apparently flash rx 6800 with rx 6800xt bios and increase performance
check this link how IgorLab overclock this card to 2.55Ghz !!! using a script and flash 6800 with 6800xt bios

AMD’s Radeon RX 6800 stable with continuous 2.55 GHz and RX 6800 XT overclocked up to 2.5 GHz - Thanks to MorePowerTool and board partner BIOS | igor´sLAB

Yeah, we did it again, and better this time. Especially since our forum member Gurdi probably won one of the main prizes in the silicone lottery, as his RX 6800 in reference design shows very…

You were never going to buy AMD. You expect an equal performance gpu that consumes less power, has 6GB vram more and overclocks better for what? $100 less? wtf are you smoking dude. I'm waiting for the best $200 - $250 gpu from whatever company.
One problem i saw with low mid range last gen was AMD did not have any gpu at $220 - $240 while nvidia had 1660, 1660 super and 1660 ti, the next amd was 5600xt at $280.
It would be awesome if a gpu with 5700/2600 super performance is released at $220.

Don't tell me what i will or will not do. I wasn't expecting a better performing card, I was expecting a card that performs well, maybe close to the 3080 and does it at a more fair price. I have owned just as many ATI/AMD video cards as nvidia. I currently own and use two AMD cards. I am all for buying AMD but for the price they are asking for the 6800 XT I'd rather get the RTX 3080. Its the better card for that much money. $550 would have been a great price, even $599. Saving $100 compared to the RTX 3080 would have been enough to sway me. But a savings of $49.99? No thanks.

In the past AMD has been able to provide good performance at a fair price. Their prices have swayed me more than a few times over the years.

$550? $600? lol.....that's dreaming. - Equal performance - Lower power - Higher OC - +6GB VRAM - and you want to pay $100 - $150 less, i insist, wtf are you smoking? (I also have bought from both brands)

I suppose it is dreaming considering the actual price. I was just hoping it would be cheaper than it is. Is it not OK any longer to express my opinion on the forum without being attacked? I run my games on a 4k monitor and it looks to me like they both perform well and on par with each other after reading reviews. I like the idea of Ray Tracing performance being better on the 3080. I care nothing about power savings. I care nothing about overclocking a video card these days. The 16Gb of ram s very nice though!

Anyways, I wanted an RTX 3080 and could not get my hands on one, the RX 6800 released and I had hoped AMD would undercut nvidia enough to make me sway towards them. That is all. No need to be rude about it.

I'm sorry, i wasn't attacking you. What i meant is that AMD is just a bussiness much like nVIDIA is and when amd can't match nvidia performance wise they thend to price its products well below nvidia(or Intel). But that is not the case now.

Yeston are going to release their 6800XT in December.
It's looks are one of those you either love or hate.

I own 6800XT reference card since some days now.

I have been working on finding a nice under volt setting for it.
I have now the limits set at 2530MHz @1000mV with the Power Limit slider at 15%.

No overclock of memory.

I don't have the Hardware to measure GPU power consumption alone, but I did some approximations based on reading from my Corsair HX1200i power supply and subtracting consumption of other component while observing my system's consumption at idle and at GPU stress test.
I come up with ~294W for default 6800XT setting and with my above mentioned under volt I get ~320W which means around 26W more power consumption.


I am still on the refence cooler.

I have ordered EK water block. Hopefully it will ship next week.

This is the one I ordered:
EK Water block for RX 6800 and RX 6900 RDNA2 GPUs – EK Webshop (ekwb.com)


Here are the results from Time Spy. The SAM is enabled. My score at default 6800XT setting with SAM enabled is 17402 points.
That is about 7% higher score.
Next days I will test different games to check if these setting are also stable there as they are in Firestrike Extreme Stress test.

Stability test with Firestrike Extreme:

Here are the settings that I am using:

The excel graph below show the frequency distribution over the entire Firestrike Extreme Stress test run:

I'll just share my undervolt result for comparison:

I scored 15 901 in Time Spy

I really dislike designs that block fan airflow but otherwise cool looking graphics card.

Thanks for sharing.
I have not yet tried memory overclock. I will add that to my above setting and see how that results.

I am also going to try MorePowerTool and play around with power limits.

I see that you also increased the low frequency.
Doesn't the GPU then always run at 2450MHz even in idle mode?

Nah its just target minimum, GPU tries to avoid dipping below under load it but it can dip below if limits are reached. Basically it doesn't do much. Also memory overclock is almost useless, infinity cache doing its job.
