XFX Radeon RX 6800 XT Speedster MERC 319 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. We'll show you the full specification details on the next pages. The cooling design is based on a strong THICC sized 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 8-pin headers; configuration depends on AIC/AIB choices as partner cards are free to choose to use whatever they deem applicable. Some remarks, first the card has a dual-BIOS one that can be used for your customized preferences. We tested at default modus, the best-performing one, yet remains silent at roughly 36 DBa measured at 40cm. The second remark would be that you need to be aware that this card is almost 34cm in length! Check a couple of times if the card can actually fit inside your chassis, okay? The backside shows a backplate, now with near graffiti-style MERC listed on there. We're not sure too if everybody likes that, though. But overall, this is a great-looking product if you ask this humble editor.

Speedster is the series of graphics card, and XFX plans to have multiple models within speedster. The number 319 relates to fan configuration. 3 = Number of Fans, 1 = 100mm, 9 =90mm.
