Review: ASUS ROG Radeon RX 6800 XT STRIX OC Liquid Cooled
ASUS also submitted a Radeon RX 6800 XT graphics card for review, this one is a bit more special though as it has been fitted with hybrid cooling. Yes, you'll see Liquid cooling 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 looks stunning and is very silent as well.

Really good performance up to 1440p with RT, and 4K without.
For pro - gamers with 144 Hz screens, 6800 series is a good bargain for all the performance.
I have no idea why that would happen with RT or 4K falling off like that.
It cannot be the number of ROPS, so might be memory controller. Hopefully the 6900XT would make up for 4K performance.
But overall the price with the cooler is so scary expensive, before scalping. I wonder how a custom water cooling setup would cost and compare?

@Hilbert Hagedoorn For how long are the games run?
For an overclock to considered stable and published here in this chapter; it needs to pass four-game tests in Ultra HD at its tweaked settings.

IC does not have sufficient capacity to hold buffers and some bandwidth/latency sensitive data at 4K. So memory bandwidth comes into play more than on lower resolutions.
That's why RDNA2 excels on 1080p, it has superior latency and bandwidth for above as buffers are smaller.
That means, unless 6900XT has faster memories, situation will be very similar.

It's a shame that they couldn't make the card shorter, its still 28cm. Even with Asus premium tax its not that bad considering how cool and fast it runs, it would cost alot to have your own water block etc and then need to actually fit it all, its why I always liked the idea of the seahawk as it gives an option to people who don't want to mess around.
That overclock performance takes it above the 3090 in Strange Brigade, Far Cry and level with the 3080 in Tomb Raider. Still loses in Witcher 3 but that's going to be obvious but it will be interesting to see what the graphical update in The Witcher 3 does to performance across the board, I take it @Hilbert Hagedoorn will test some of that?
Over to the 3080ti at this point because that will be about the price of this card
