I’m a pretty loyal Powercolor user since 5700XT.

5700 XT Powercolor (sold) - > Vega 64 Powercolor (sold) -> 6900 XTXH Powercolor -> 6950XT Powercolor.

Their software sucks but theirs cards are performers for sure. I recommend to all. I have a 6900XTXH Asrock and it is a performer too. TPU editor choice.

My 6900 XTXHs hit clocks at 2700 on AIR. My 6950XT does the same, but the memory over locks to 2350.

I highly recommend Powercolor, but they need to wake up and start providing TPU with review samples. They are trying to go the way of content creators…
It was hit or miss if I got a sample. I would email my contact like 2 months ahead, otherwise I wouldn't make the seeding list. My feedback was the same every time. great cards but the RGB sucks. Software sucked. RX 6000 series MB RGB control would work if you attached it to a RGB header lol. You still had to install PowerColor software to active this feature.. It was really stupid to have RGB lighting but half the cards LEDs cannot be turned off and stay red. Why even implement RGB if you aren't going to do it correctly. Just leave it red...that's fine its a "RED DEVIL".

So basically, Powercolor cards have always been great since my first one (Powercolor Radeon X800 XT), just don't buy it for the RGB lighting.

Yeah. I like the devils. got a 6900xt and I love it. Had the Vega 64 red devil and loved it as well.
Obviously, the design and looks are more of a preference and one may like it the other may not. In terms of build and structure and cooling. It is a very good card and really recommend powercolor as to get card.

Response from the PowerColor designer:



Plastic is also a great insulator, trapping more heat inside the GPU & creating a more devil'ish gaming experience. :cool:

I think they are aware of that, so much that the next design might be something for those who fear that there's not enough airflow :D
