I'd ordered the XFX RX 6900XT reference model, then this showed up! Needless to say, I'd ordered this too, now thinking of whether to keep the reference model or the MERC319. Since I'd ordered the reference model earlier, it'd arrive earlier, but there's only a few days difference between them. Still mulling it over as I figure I've some time still, most likely to keep the MERC319 and cancel the reference model.

1,100$ Let's see what this number means for Nvidia, if they choose to make a move. I will hold off buying any new GPU until sometime into next year. I want to see if AMD can improve RT performance driver wise, and support wise (CP...)

I say, test them both out and keep your favorite. Sell the other! That Merc is so long, it will not fit in my Corsair AIR 540, so it is not even an option for me.

The Merc was going to be my choice for the 6800XT, but unfortunately, my case will comfortably fit a 12.5" GPU which leaves me about 3/4 of an inch too short! I definitely don't want to change the case--Antec 302. Too bad XFX won't make a 12.5" model--I'd probably buy it. However, now that AMD has reaffirmed it will continue making reference models, I may just wait for that--hopefully, sometime in January, paying MSRP.

I began to worry after reading about space for such a beastly card, then I looked at the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6800 in my case, and realized that I still have a hella lotta space to fit a longer card... https://i.imgur.com/9LGMCTk.jpg
