MSI Radeon RX 6900 XT GAMING X TRIO review - Product Photos

Product Photos

Radeon RX 6800, 6800 XT, and 6900 all have been fitted with 16 Gigabytes of GDDR6 memory; it runs at 16 Gbps (effective data rate), which is a data-rate most of us can identify with when compared to the last-gen products. The cooling design is based on a strong cooler holding three fans. The cards all get HDMI 2.1 connectors and the latest iteration in DisplayPort. You will not see the new 12-pin power connecter header introduced by NVIDIA; the cards will hold 3x 8-pin headers; configuration depends on AIC/AIB choices as partner cards are free to choose to use whatever they deem applicable. No more USB type-C VirtualLink connector, as that one is going the way of the dodo. The card has three fans and uses the traditional power connector design, e.g., 8-pin, but thus three of them. The card has a nice stylish looking shroud with underneath it that muscular cooler. The design has some premium features, the TRI FROZR cooler series, of course, but the fans are based on an updated TORX FAN v4.0 design. It weighs in at 1.576 kg, that's not bad. Despite that, you can make use of a sturdy mount (included). That said, we test out of the box configuration of a card, set to performance mode. Of course, we'll list thermals and acoustics for both modes in our tests.
