If I recall(I’ve got the Corsair rmx 850), it has 2 gpu power cables that each have two 6+2 connectors. So the 6+2 can be plugged in as an 8 pin. Use both cables, and you’ll need to just use both sets of plugs on one of the cables.

It's too late I'm afraid I went with the 6800xt already for 450 but I'm just not sure man what tod o about the 8 pin stuck

if you bought the rx corsair it has 1 cable 8 pin and 2 PCIe 8-Pin (6+2) (6+2)

Perfect I did that but I'm struggling with the motherboard positive and negative power button h3ader

According to this, a 650 watt psu is required for an rx 6800.

If you mean this power supply, it sounds like you should be good to go

According to pc cultists tier list, that psu is a tier A unit which is one of the best you can get. I’ve got an 850 watt rmx unit that I’m pretty happy with. Someone else might be able to tell you more about the rme vs rmx units. But it sounds to me like it would be good to go.

As far as the rx 6800, performance wise it looks like it’s around a 3070 level maybe a bit faster. I’d say if a 6750xt or 6700xt can keep up with a 4060ti 8gb, I’d say the 6800 should beat it. The 4060ti 16gb may be slightly faster that the 8gb card but I think you’d be on par with it or beating it. The exception would be ray tracing where nvidia would have an advantage for sure. But in terms of bang for the buck value the amd card is a good value.

Found a review on it from 2020 but gives you an idea.

AMD Radeon RX 6800 Review

The Radeon RX 6800 is the world's most power-efficient graphics card, better than anything NVIDIA Ampere has to offer. The smaller brother to the RX 6800 XT comes with a smaller heatsink, at more affordable pricing, but retains the lavish 16 GB VRAM memory buffer.

However if you are looking at used I did come across this card…

Find many great new & used options and get the best deals for ASRock Radeon RX 6800 XT Phantom D OC 16GB GDDR6 Graphics Card at the best online prices at eBay! Free shipping for many products!

Within a few dollars but faster card. With used cards though keep in mind you don’t get the warranty but I think that eBay has a 30 day money back guarantee. So if you go that route, I’d run the daylights out of the card when you get it to make sure it’s in good working order before that time.

Looks like amd says a minimum of 750 watts for the 6800xt so it should be fine, but may not be a bad idea to bump up to the 850 watt psu for extra headroom if it’s not much more if you opt for the 6800xt. Just a personal preference so you aren’t bumping right up against the limit.

what do you think of my scores?? https://gpuscore.top/furmark/show.php?id=1097040 everything seems to be running smooth idk what else to test with

Hello sorry to bother again I fid everything correctly and all I'm enjoying the pc really am but when I start thr pc on I hear and unpleasant small but quick sounds from the gpu but fades away quickly is this an issue? Did I maybe not push in the gpu correctly sll the way???

 

[ohio_buckeye]

Double check that you did seat everything fully. Some cards do what they call coil whine from what I’ve seen on here. What kind of noises are you experiencing? If it’s coil whine I think that happens sometimes on new cards as well. Might check to see if the fans on the cards are running when it happens also.

That is probably the fans spinning up then turning off when the PC is booted since no load is on the card.

 

[ohio_buckeye]

Ah, good point. If it’s just when it starts up then it could just basically be part of the system kind of checking the card before the pc starts up. You might hear the fans kick in more as you start gaming and put more load on the card.
