Thank you for the encouraging feedback! It's actually kind of a shame this card is as pristine as it is, because it makes me want to keep it! I've been eyeing up the definitely-not-a-PowerColor-Fighter RX 6700s (the 10GB ones) that have been popping up for ~$239USD as a follow-up to this, but now I'm also seeing $110 Vega 64s and now 3050s are appearing...so many choices, ugh.

😭 damn, my condolences

Pregunta vecino chileno soy de Argentina ☺,sabes algo de eso que el vendedor hace pasar el valor por menos para evitar sobre costes? En Argentina esta caro las graficas pero no tanto como otra tecnologia como celulares,tv o repuestos de autos,pero son algo desconfiados el correo/aduana aunque lei que no abren paquetes eso es ilegal "creo"

@@user-kv5he9np2y averigua por sobre cuantos dólares la aduana de tu país pide impuestos (yo lo hice así para comprar mi gráfica) y le pedí al vendedor q la valorara bajo 40 dolares y así no pagué impuestos aduaneros B)

@@user-kv5he9np2y averigua desde q precio de producto se empieza a cobrar el impuesto aduanero en tu país, en el mío son 40 usd, y le pedí al vendedor q lo valorara bajo esa cantidad, y así esquivé el impuesto aduanero 👍🏻

@@user-kv5he9np2ySiii En muchos países no abren los paquetes porque muchas veces es por las protecciones más que nada que le colocan, o si algún paquete parece sospechoso. Pero en AliExpress saben cómo pasar eso de una así que tranqui.

😭

Channeled the inner Clarkson for that one.

Wow, that’s a *huge* difference if you’re putting together a rig on a budget!

It's kind of crazy how good a deal that's looking right now. All AMD cards are stupidly priced in the UK right now.

@B1G_Dave I ended up putting this one into a build for someone, and now that prices are creeping up on everything, I am finding myself contemplating a second one as a dedicated benchmarking card.

@@doesitgame Just a question about the clocks on these cards. The listing says the memory is clocked at 1600mhz, where as the 6700xt reference has it listed at 2000mhz. What did GPUZ report the clocks at?

@B1G_Dave 2000MHz

how was the purchase?

That might be more an SJS thing to do, but that is a righteous idea! Even a low-pro 1660S would be a huge step up from what is available to a normal person; a 6600M at the $200 price point would be god tier for dumpster Dell gaming!

Definitely! Although finding it sold with free shipping is getting tougher. If it weren't for the RX 6800 I already have, I would've kept this as my personal card.

It is. It’s just a regular MSI Mech with some stickers covering the MSI stickers.

Oversight on my part, I'll try to get that done and maybe post it as a Short or something? I let it loop on Time Spy for 2 hours to test the stability but didn't really think to do more. Whoops. Thanks for the suggestion!

It isn't a copy; it *is* an MSI Mech with JieShuo stickers plastered on it.

Physical dimensions? Like 270mm x 110mm x 40mm

Tried to address that in the conclusions. It's only a good value for anyone in the States if the warranty is actually honored if needed. But for the other ~7,700,000,000 people on Earth it's a much better option. It's undercutting the 6650 XT by a significant amount in Canada, for example.

I sold it months ago but it’s still working; guy who bought the system streams on it.

Hey got my 6700XT yesterday, also Jieshuo but really a Asrock Challenger, made a video, 6800 will be my next card if the prices falls a little in price.

How do prices in the UK look for both the 6800XT and 7700XT?

@@doesitgame 7700XT new is £450 is and 6800 used is from £380ish.

@AlexHusTech Oof, well £320 sounds like a steal and I'd go for that in a heartbeat. I've had four JieShuo-badged cards through here already, and they have all been great, so I'd confidently buy another.

@@doesitgame I might flip my £190 6700XT & try get a 6800 in the near future, but that means I'll need a bigger case and PSU maybe.

I’ll see what I can do!

AliExpress is a marketplace, not a seller. That experience sounds like a perfect opportunity to use their 75 day buyer protection, though!

I bet you didn't even saw the seller's reputation.. I've bought around 40 things total from Aliexpress, including expensive PC parts.. never been scammed

lol thats your call. It's a much better cooler design than some previous MSI offerings, like the Armor series, but if it's not your favorite no one can hold that against you. There are a few other variants on offer. There are reference cards and at least one triple fan model being sold.

@@doesitgame I have the Gigabyte RX 6700 XT Eagle (WindForce 3X). clocked it at 2650 MHz, 2150 MHz on VRAM with fast timings. +10% power and MSI Afterburner says my GPU temp is running at 66C while gaming. So I am solid on my end. lol I saw Reddit posts about the mech and saw that MSI priced this card bargain bin. 1+1=...
