Review: Sapphire Radeon RX 6800 NITRO+

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 12/29/2020 09:40 AM | source: | 28 comment(s)

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. Do you need a silent 6800? Look no further, you found it.

Read the review here.

Why did you stop disassembling video cards? And why does the card have a temperature of 72+ degrees, while the reference has 64. I think this is a failure.

Two reasons, time first and foremost .. we need to perform and include more and more data with the reviews, it costs so much time it isn't funny anymore with my six sometimes seven-day work weeks. Secondly, cards mostly are rotated back to AIBs or other media these days, and they do not really like these cards to be disassembled and then reassembled as it can influence cooling perf in a next review.

never really understood why if you can buy a 500$ card you can't a 600$ just wait a few months until you have the money
this hardware crysis makes it even more dumb who'd want this expensive inferior 6800 rather than a XT ?
it's pretty obvious not only at amd but nvidia also that aib release extremely cheap reskins of the reference design this year, which they can only get away with because some people can't wait and buy whatever they will find, personnally no way I'm buying a card like this
I'm checking prices and availabilty every day and I hesitated quite a few times on no less than a 3090 when I saw one in stock, but when I saw for 2140USD or 1700€ that it only had 2x8 pins...no I'm not spending 2k on a low quality gpu (and thus) power limited card, weird how they all seem power limited this year

p.s.
on my fav webshop an msi 6800 is 755USD and 6800XT 822USD see what I mean ? or 616€ and 671€ if you can't afford 55€ more for this you're in the wrong price range for your purse
(none are in stock of course)

there has to be a limit somewhere for each person.
6800 is not great value compared to 6800xt and to 3070 especially.
