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.

Some of the review scores seem to call it the Pulse+ such as the Shadow of Tomb Raider one, liking the benchmark results though albeit it's not a big step up over the 6800 XT and pricing well that's probably a big step up when it comes to flagships like Nitro or Devil also there's like two or three designs for the Nitro and Pulse this time that I need to check on what the deal is with that.

EDIT: Could be a nice step up in terms of fan noise and how these scale though in addition to thermal benefits albeit less so than the blower style 5700 XT had on it's stock variant.
(Maybe not worth another 100 Euro on the price tag however ha ha.)

Also showing Pulse+ in Temps and Acoustics - infact it appears to be in all the results showing as Pulse+ so far..

Yeah, this is what happens when you receive a card 24 hours prior to launch :) Sorry, obviously it is labeled wrong in the charts. PULSE+ = NITRO+

Thank you for both today's reviews. Can you quickly answer me why one product is recommended and the other one top pick? Which is their basic difference that made you label them such way?

Sure, I was struggling with the choice here myself. First off, perf is the same. I think the XFX is the better-looking product (albeit that is subjective), it is a notch more silent. But my biggest gripe and the decisive factor is pricing. The XFX sells at 749 USD whereas the Sapphire card will sell at 769 USD. That's 799 EUR. And remember this is a card series that sells at 649 USD for the reference model. I understand a 50~75 USD extra for the premium model, but 769 USD is very steep.

But if everybody disagrees with me on this, I'll happily make it a top pick award, this one was difficult to call.
