Anyone in for some WAG (Wet Ass GPU)? ASUS just submitted their Radeon RX 6900 XT graphics card for review, and much like the 6800 XT this one shows a bit more TLC as it has been fitted with hybrid cooling. Liquid cooling is being applied on the primary GPU area, and then a fan can cool down some of the additional components. The end result is a graphics card that is kept nicely moist and cool, in an effort to give you silence and stamina.

It cost far more then $500 for a custom loop that is not china junk. I know because I just spent over $500 and thats without my pump/res setup. And if you are already an aio on your cpu and want a gpu like this, its pretty damn easy.
Yeah. I was lookin into building a custom loop and all the parts would costs me more than €1000 here. If I could ever find them in stock, that is.

not really. it depends on what you're counting as part of your loop. $300 for top flight pump/res, $100 for a copper 360 rad, <100 for a waterblock.
adding the gpu is another rad and another waterblock.
if i wanted to count China-crap subtract 25%. everything i'm talking about is 1st world manufacture.

sorry, but you didn't read the review?
spine exaggerating a bit, that's all.
every amd or nvidia review is commented all day with this nonsense comments about...no it's faster, no it's not but all kind of fanboys without being finally objective. yeah in lower resolutions it's doing fine..but in higher resolution the lower memory bus and lower memory clock is slowing it down. and after telling you both that your next reply goes about -> no one really games 4k or higher resolution or is using raytracing and such things. that's not the point. as long as there are consumers (gamers and designers) out there using 4k or 8k resolutions it matters and should be reviewed. it's an overall review and not an 1080p review...it show's how that card performs at all and on the last page of the review...it's ranked below the 3090. so finally his statement is not totally wrong. but your statements in your comments are only a cherry pick of what matters for you (games and resolutions) or where it outperforms other cards. and no... i am not a fanboy, i switch between amd and nvidia in different setups. there is no perfect card at all, and never was...it's about what matters for you.
e.g.: i wont use a 3090 or 6900 for my father banking stuff or an software developer machine. that's a workload fitted for a simple onboard graphic card.

If you're interested in water-cooled 6800s and 6900s, there are Liquid Devil versions on the way.
