It is time for the first customized Radeon 6800 review, no not the XT. In this review, we test the Sapphire Radeon RX 6800 NITRO+ based on a custom PCB, custom cooler, and increased clock frequencies. Do you need a silent 6800? Look no further, you found it.

That´s no healthy Hilbert... Quite frankly, i think you should scale down the size of reviews. Instead of using 15 games test 10 or less. Instead of using 15 or 20 synthetic benchmarks, test half of them and so on.
No point on going overboard if you´re not enjoying yourself and risking your health in the process.
Take care of yourself because the world needs you! And i need your christmas prizes...:p
Two reasons, time first and foremost .. we need to perform and include more and more data with the reviews, it costs so much time it isn't funny anymore with my six sometimes seven-day work weeks. Secondly, cards mostly are rotated back to AIBs or other media these days, and they do not really like these cards to be disassembled and then reassembled as it can influence cooling perf in a next review.

@Hilbert Hagedoorn
I could be incorrect but think the labeling on some graphs (GPGPU) might be wrong.

This is rather disappointing. Hotter, uses more power and more expensive than the reference but performance ins the same or lower. I was looking forward to this model too. Guess I'll stick to my tried and true only buy refence with AMD (though that XFX MERC looks nice).

Great review as usual
However :
"This graphics card will cost you a sweet sum of 649,- USD with an availability date of November 18th."
This is actually closer to $800 in europe and availability 0.
So no thanks for this overpriced crap

another fantastic, detailed review.
a thing to remember about "paper" launches - it's standard.
and not because some nitwit decided to irritate enthusiasts but because of old print media. while old print media is deader than the proverbial doornail they had to have the object of review well in advance of availability because the object had to be tested, the article written, proofread, edited, printed, and then delivered to brick and mortar stores or subscribers.
and yeah the 6800 (vanilla) is not the value of the 6800xt, but then the value of the 3060 isn't the same as the value of a 3070 either and the 3090 gets slapped every time someone utters the word "value".
