GIGABYTE AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT GAMING OC 16G Graphics Card, 16GB of GDDR6 memory, powered by AMD RDNA 2, HDMI 2.1, WINDFORCE 3X Cooling System, GV-R68XTGAMING OC-16GD

We generally use Nvidia graphic boards, have for 12 years, so a lot of my preference is just personal comfort, and a desire to see our customers happy and smiling. We have had bad experience will some of those, for example we had to change a dual card setup 3 times because of failures. Honestly, I attribute that to not realizing the amount of heat that setup would produce. But that was two series of boards ago, since then not one problem,But here I should speak about the AMD graphic cards. We have been using the 6800XT's since they came out simply because we find, especially for certain types of gaming, they will surpass the Nvidia 3080ti's, and do so for about 30%-40% less investment. We also just ordered what is now the fastest card available to consumers - the Sapphire 6900XT with water cooling - this one for $500 less than a 3090ti with water cooling.Gigabyte is my first choice in both Nvidia and AMD boards mainly because of what I said above - no failures in 12 years. They build a quality board and they usually have a little advantage over other like Nvidia manufacturers. This board is going in a unit that the buyer uses for everything including gaming. She is not a professional gamer but just has fun with it. That could be the definition of this board. All around uses without emphasis on any particular task. It will do what you want and do it well.

Decided to upgrade my old computer with this rather than building a new one. Rizen 7 2700 and an X-470 motherboard. Really came out nice. The old rx-580 was choaking on MW2. The Samsung 4K TV really looks good now. This card will do 8k I think if I ever get that far but the 4k is really nice for now.

Out of the box it performed great but 5 minutes into gaming at 4K with FSR enabled with ultra/high settings in Horizon, this GPU got to 90 Celsius. I had to forgo my warranty and apply my own thermal compound (thermal grizzly kyronaut). I got the Temps down to low 70's and I'm much happier with how it performs. Its really loud, which for my mini ITX system is sort of annoying but I'm sure I'll learn to live with it.

It's a great video card, even for playing some games in 4k.It is amazing, the best thing is also its refrigeration

This GPU is a scam it is not quality at all! Since owning it for less than a year it has repeatedly black screened my displays specifically while playing ranked games on CSGO, on Rust, Rocket League, and even Minecraft. It can handle a simple stress test even maxing it out with multiple stress tests. Its not overheating, my drivers have been reinstalled multiple times now, I have reset my bios settings, have done and tested everything. This GPU has been broken from the start. AMD CPU is a win but not GPU stick with NVIDIA.

Stack this up with a 5800x3d and you got yourself a monster of a gaming pc.

Upgraded from a 3070 due to the lack of vram, this card blows is out of the water, would definitely recommend!

I bought this card under the assumption it was new. It came straight from amazon and no where did it say it was used. The card did come sealed from Gigabyte. It looks like the card was bought then returned a couple of days later. The only positive was I got this card at around $540 before everyone else caught on and It sky rocketed to the rediculous prices. The card is not that great but for the price it was a steal. It's a hot running card, reaching 90c in heaven very fast with decent performance. The reason I chose the Gigabyte instead of the other 6800 xt cards was because I was planning to throw a gpu block and needed the shortest 6800 xt I could get so that the radiator could fit on my case, a Silverstone FT-02. If you need the shortest 6800 xt this is it, but you'll need a case with great air flow.
