The Card

Gigabyte's card uses a mix of black and gray highlights paired with a blocky industrial design. On the back, you'll find a high-quality metal backplate. While the front design is very similar to that of the RX 6900 XT Gaming OC, the backplate uses a new, more complex design that looks great.


Dimensions of the card are 33.5 x 14.5 cm, and it weighs 1712 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. In the top right is the dual BIOS switch, which lets you activate the "silent" BIOS.

Teardown

Gigabyte's heatsink uses a vapor-chamber plate to draw heat from the GPU, while copper heat pipes spread heat from the vapor-chamber across the fin stack.


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