The Card

Gigabyte's card uses a mixture of black and gray highlights paired with a blocky industrial design. On the back, you'll find a high-quality metal backplate.


Dimensions of the card are 29 x 12 cm, and it weighs 1188 g.


Installation requires three slots in your system.


Display connectivity includes two standard DisplayPort 1.4 and two HDMI 2.1.


The card has three 8-pin power inputs. This configuration is rated for up to 525 W of power draw.


The AMD Radeon RX 6000 series doesn't support multi-GPU.


This BIOS switch lets you toggle between the default "OC" BIOS and a "Silent" BIOS, which runs a more relaxed fan curve. As our testing later on will show, differences are minimal, though.

Teardown

Gigabyte's heatsink uses six heatpipes and a copper plate that soaks up heat from the GPU and memory chips.


The backplate is made out of metal and protects the card against damage during installation and handling.
