Question Which 6900XT to buy?

[zmihlrad]

Alright so I think I've settled on the 6900XT for the cost/performance value factor over comparable Nvidia (3080?) and the minimal bump from 6800XTs.


The ones I am looking at are:

XFC Speedster 6900XT SWFT 319 - $670 1825 MHz

XFC Speedster 6900XT MERC 319 Black - $700 1950 MHz

XFC Speedster 6900XT MERC 319 Limited - $700 1825 MHz




ASRock Phantom Gaming 6900 XT - $670 1925 MHz

ASRock OC Formula 6900XT - $720 2125 MHz


In quick searches it seems XFC is the top rated of the brands. At least cosmetically, XFC looks like a superior build quality. The price is essentially the same for all the above, I just don't have the knowledge to understand flat out which is superior.

Thanks!

ASROCK OC formula is really well made. It’s arguably the best 6900xt

Does it perform any differently than the others?

i will say i don’t love the random green on it, from a looking inside the case perspective.

Seconded for the AsRock OC Formula version of the 6900 XT. From a straight electrical standpoint, it's one of if not THE best one.

So when you consider the benchmarks listed here, what is the benefit of the formula OC? It looks like all the cards come in within like 5 fps of one another.

Whole vid is interesting but 10:30 mark is the info you're looking for.
