LCS Radeon RX 6900 XT Benchmarks 12% faster Core and Memory Clocks with 10% more power
A number of times now an LCS version of the Radeon RX 6900 XT has surfaced on the web. This round in Asia it got tested en benchmarked. The GPU is XTXH based, the fastest 6900 SKU, but all that cooling and binned GPU results in merely 5% extra performance.
Benchmarks surfaced at Bilibili which seems to be the Sapphire 'reference model' with XTXH GPU. The normal RX 6900 has a maximum boost clock of 2,250 MHz, the water-cooled variant would be able to reach 2.435 MHz. The frequency of the memory has also been increased, to 18.48 Gbps.
3DMark benchmarks shows an added 5 percent performance over the reference model. To compare, a Sapphire RX 6900 XT Toxic Extreme Edition scores 2 to 4 percent higher, thanks to its higher clock speeds. It is not clear if and when this card will be released to the piblic. Likely it'll only be fitted for prebuilt systems.
Update, clock have been confirmed as well. 12% Higher Core and Memory Clocks, 10% Higher Power. The card game clocks is 2250 MHz, (2015 MHz reference air), memory is at 18 Gbps (GDDR6 effective), compared to 16 Gbps for reference which is 576 GB/s opposed to 512 GB/s on the reference card. TBP (total board power) has been increased by 10%, and is 330W. All this yields roughly 5% extra perf.

Water cooled and a binned gpu should have huge oc capability wait for a proper review off HH

''Just 5% faster''
Well it's the same GPU, and yet it's still better than 3070 Ti vs 3070 performance difference lol

"just 5%"
Wait till it meets the user's and real overclockers. Still bigger difference from the same gpu than between nvidias gpu lol

Well it's still better price performance ratio than nvidia top line. See 3080ti vs 3090 classic fail.
At least Amd doesn't lie, they give you the same gpu. Nvidia on the other hand despite giving Mawr Corez and ram differences are negligible.

Port Royale score is basically the same as my reference 6900XT, just overclocked with MPT.
That's where this card would shine I guess, with bigger power limit and OC as stock cooler is limiting it, but those scores are stock I suppose.
