Review: MSI Radeon RX 6800 XT Gaming X TRIO
MSI submitted their beefed-up Radeon RX 6800 XT graphics card for review, this one is a bit more special though as it has been outfitted in the Gaming X TRIO style. Yes, you'll see proper cooling applied to the primary GPU area. The end result is a graphics card that looks both stunning and is notably silent as well.

Review: Sapphire Radeon RX 6800 NITRO+ - 12/29/2020 09:40 AM
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....
Review: Corsair HS70 Bluetooth Headset - 12/28/2020 01:06 PM
We review the new Corsair HS70 Bluetooth Headset. Admittedly, I've been nagging Corsair about this for a long time now. Their internal technology used for Wireless headsets is great, but with Bluetoo...

Seems because Nvidia demands it's existance to be erased
What is the reason for the 6900xt missing from most of the graphs ?
yup idk why it got removed.

I'm thinking the 6700 could be the replacement for the 5700 and thus a power draw total around 200 with a similar hardware and the efficiency of the 7nm+ node over the 7nm one used in the prior GPU generation from AMD.
Could be undervolted further though if the 6800's are any indication AMD's using the efficiency to boost up clock speeds and then the additional cores and such so the 6800's at 300 and the 6800XT's and 6900XT's at 350 total as a result.
Effectively AMD's new mid-range lineup could be more conservative about power draw and before the new integrated RDNA2 GPU models in the upcoming Zen3+ CPU's which might be where it's really at for this over the desktop GPU's currently.
Still room for a 6600 or lower too replacing the 5600 card after that.
Next up from AMD and NVIDIA might be the 5nm nodes if all goes well with this and if Apple hasn't taken all the availability already ha ha.
But if the leaks are accurate for NVIDIA's "Lovelace" they might be pushing the gains to use even more cores and a higher clock speed and I would expect RDNA3 to be much the same at least here in the high-end segment.
(6800's as the high-end against the 3070 primarily, 6800XT's as the flagship paired against NVIDIA's 3080 and then the halo products of the 6900XT's and 3090's just because. Heh. :p )
Still that should then show up more for the actual mid-range segments.
For the current generation I think that's the 3060Ti from NVIDIA and Ampere and AMD with Navi20 doesn't really have anything until the Navi22 I think the chip is called likely as the 6700 or 6700XT GPU's and then we'll see for the rest of the specs if it matches with core count and VRAM or uses more and how the clock speeds will be as a replacement for the 5700 and 5700 XT cards.
(Could even be drawing more going into the 250 watts instead of 200 via 2x 6-pin connectors for example if they go with a higher clock speed here too.)
330 or 340 what's the difference both are way too much

The cooler is doing a great job here. I think this is the best non liquid cooler I have seen on the market right now for this series.

on issues of power draw - blame physics.
the equivalent performance of the 3080 or 6800xt on a 14nm production node would be between 25-30% higher with lower clocks or hovering around 50% higher with OC.
