You purchased this, right?

 

[USAFRet]

HWInfo might work.

yes, it is sitting in the system I am typing on right now.

Then you should have some clue of what you purchased.

Just a little bit of clue....

GPU -Z

GPU-z gives me the error that it cannot stop driver: The service cannot accept control messages at this time. Strangely it was working earlier, and this didn't start happening until I updated the drivers. When I looked earlier, the subvendor said ATI so I am assuming this means I have the reference model.

You would think so, but (if you recall), I bought the system built to order, the listing did not mention the brand of the card. It was only listed as rx 6800 and it completely slipped my mind at the time to ask the seller.

So between GPU-Z and HWInfo....what does it come back with?

Maybe a bit of Speccy, and a touch of Belarc Advisor

HWinfo just says AMD radeon RX 6800. Speccy says ATI as both manufacturer and subvendor. So I guess it is a reference card, but GPU-Z is giving me this error: cannot stop driver: The service cannot accept control messages at this time.

• GPU-Z - What happens if you click LookUp next to its name on the first tab? If I click it, it thinks I have a Hellhound... no. Right maker, wrong card.
• Speccy can't tell either
• Belarc knows what model it is but not who made it

Obvious answer - Open case and look... if you not sure, take photo of it and someone will know if you upload it to imgur and show link here.

windows doesn't know the exact maker, just who made the chips. You need to look if you don't know.

1. open adrenalin
2. go to settings
3. click systtem tab
4. under hardware and drivers, click the drop down arrow next to hardware details
5. scroll to bottom of list until you find - Subsystem Vendor ID

Compare that against this:

https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/gpu-55

But that only tells you who made it, not what card it is.

Or just look at the system summary page in HWINFO

It knows exactly what I have.

Your card sure does look like a reference model.

The summary page in HWINFO does not say what I have, but the subsystem vendor ID is 1043 meaning AsusTek, but it looks like a reference model and I still cannot figure out what exact model it is.

 

[Colif]

could be I was wrong, look at this one - https://www.asus.com/au/motherboards-components/graphics-cards/asus/rx6800-16g/

I was just going from looks. The AMD reference cards have that red line, but so does that Asus.

Its the Asus version of the reference card - https://videocardz.com/newz/asus-and-msi-show-their-radeon-rx-6800-series-reference-cards

Some cards AMD don't make their own reference cards but get others to make them. 7900xt had a few examples of that. Powercolor made one, Sapphire did as well. Off top of my head.

And MSI (I think) it could either be ASUS or MSI I guess. Also did you see the conversation reply?

That is an AMD reference 6800. Looks just like the 6700xt I bought from AMD's website. The back of my 6900xt also bought from AMD direct has the same ATI Technologies stamp on an almost identical sticker... So 100% AMD direct reference card.

 

[Colif]

I can't tell if AMD made their own cards that generation or like in other ones, they make the OEM make the reference models and don't themselves. They probably made a 6800 XT but may not have made a 6800. https://www.amazon.com.au/AMD-Radeon-Reference-Gaming-Graphics/dp/B09W7S6QC3

Asus used the exact same design as the reference card.
All of the reference cards look the same, the all have same fans and backplate.

Sapphires for instance - https://videocardz.net/sapphire-radeon-rx-6800-16gb

all cards listed below the Sapphire card on the page that do 2105mhz are reference design.

So they probably all have same stickers on back. Its the Subsystem vendor id that shows who really made the card.
