Sapphire Radeon RX 6800 XT NITRO+ review 4

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 11/25/2020 03:00 PM [ 84 comment(s) ]

Just over a week ago, AMD unleashed Big Navi,  the prodigal sons and sisters are now out and make their way through the AIB partners. In this review, we test the Sapphire Radeon RX 6800 XT NITRO+ based on a custom PCB, custom cooler, and increased clock frequencies.

The review was ok, the only issue I have with it is that is says the OC is limited.

There is nothing limited about OC-ing these Radeon 6000s cards at all, not even close to how limited the RTX 3000s are in OC...

This same card was able to do 100Mh more over your OC in Hardware Unboxed review, and Steve made a comment about how other AIB model/s managed to get 2.7GHz OC on the core... how can you say that OC is limited is beyond understanding.

The RX 6000s cards are amazing OC-ers.

My OCs are based on a lasting set of tweaks. Not based on 'hey look it passed 3DMark this one time'.

It is question of percentage. And Power draw, one is willing to use. When you take power draw at different clock. Lets's say you do measurement every 100MHz.
Then you can get graph, and it will tell you if performance you are getting as you increase clock (power draw) is worth it.

I'm sorry, but for me Hardware Unboxed are not noobs. I trust their reviews, as I do, Gamers Nexus. Only 3rd I come here.

Maybe you had a bad silicon or some other explanation, but it's not like we didn't already know from various leaks that these cards OC past 2.5Ghz, even past 2.6Ghz.

It's not an exception or a fluke this kind of OC for the RX 6000s.

I can speak for myself as to how the tweaking went, 2550 MHz on either card was simply not stable. It's not like we tweak and then run unigine heaven or something, no the cards have to pass four games in Ultra HD with tweaked settings.
