AMD has really good HW engineering and they need to beef up their SW team, which has done an amazing job despite obvious difference in budgets. That Red Devil is way awesome.
I want to see the 6900XT Red Devil and make it available for people who want to buy one!

Just noticed the more expensive 6800 xts have a full backplate. The cheaper ones have an open section...so you need to pay the extra £25-50 for a full backplate. Seems a bit cheap but with everything have seen with the inflated pricing nothing comes as a surprise.
What next black screens and driver issues? Grabs popcorn and rum sits back and waits haha.
p.s the 6800 actually looks like an interesting gpu based off some benchmarks esp if you get one that overclocks well.
And on a side note gonna see how my ageing rig can handle RDR2. Gonna post a few pics which could be interesting or make me cry!

I have 6800 Sapphire . And my clocks are totally different to those in the review . My card normaly boosts and holds clock around 2320 mhz (games furmark doesnt matter , under full load) , how come in the review it is 2100 ? In overclocking section you mention only 2304 Mhz overclock , this is below my NORMAL highest sustained clock.
My sample boosts 2560Mhz, this is maximum clock that radeon software allows ( says 2600Mhz but it is 2530-2560 ).
Can someone explain why such a difference ? Benchmark results would be quite different with my card ?

Well,in 2000 Amd beat Intel with World 1st
Now,in 2020 or 2021 Amd can beat Nvidia with World 1st
I think they were the 1st ones to introduce PCI-E as well, ATI and some other company if I was not mistaken. They were the wavefront during those times.
Agreed, Very Sick Speeds or VSP!!
EDIT ON PCI-E:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI-Express
I did remember a LONG time ago on ATI site, Introduction to PCI-E along with other company, been to long to remember.
