The Radeon RX 6900 and 6950 XT features 5120 active stream/Shader processors, whereas the 6800 features 3840. This card does indeed return to us with a maximum Turbo clock speed of 2368 MHz. With TRIXX you can set this at 2435MHz, however, as per policy we test out-of-the-box performance. The BIOS supports fan stop in idle mode, which means the card is passive (no fans spinning) while not in use, which results in a perfectly silent device. The card is just over 32cm long and 14cm tall. The board design and cooler are capable of 450W, the cooler is comprised of 6 composite heat pipes.
The Nitro+ card should be faster than AMD's reference board. The display outputs around the back are limited to the typical quartet of HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 1.4.
Because it is huge, Sapphire has the option to improve the cooling on the Made By AMD board. The cards include a full-length heatpipe-infused heatsink as well as a separate one for the memory, VRMs, chokes, and Mosfets. Thermal pads make good contact with the components beneath, and the XT variant features the higher-performing versions. Size is 320 x 134.75 x 71.57mm
Yes, 2x 8-pin and a single 6-pin header will be needed.PCIe feeds 75W, the 6-pin 75W, and each 8-pin 150W.
At the top of the card, there's also a BIOS switch with three options (default/quiet/software controlled).
It looks quite nice, fitted into the test PC, with Sapphire providing adequate illumination. The Sapphire logo and light strip at the top, as well as a logo on the backplate, are all in aRGB, and there are enough LEDs to ensure an even distribution of light.
