I see RX6800 in video title I watch, I am simple man.

Best value card on the market today. Also the most efficient (fps per watt) available GPU. A beast!

Miners sure didn't forget about the 6800. It's effiency made it great for that purpose.

I had this card, overpaid for it during the scalpocalypse, and don't mind one bit because the card was worth every penny. Use it with two 1440p 165Hz monitors and in conjunction with an Ryzen 7 5800X and 32GB of 3200 DDR4 RAM and it's the best PC I've ever had. It's a straight BEAST of a machine. Watching this video on it now. :-)

Enjoying my RX 6800 so much! It really is best price to performance ratio. Don't forget that this card has amazing headroom for OC. The maximum factory OC was 2155MHz. This card easily runs at 2425MHz tho. A lot of performance you can get by just tweaking it a bit! They even make it super easy to tweak with the adrenaline software.

Ive had a 6800 for about 2 years now. It normally hovers around 185w. I play all games in 4k maxed out, except cyberpunk. I don't go over 60fps. I don't use RT, I genuinely prefer it without. Most recently I have owned an RX480, RTX3070, RTX 3080 and the RX6800. The 6800 is the best I have owned for stability and performance per watt. I much prefer AMDs modern driver contols compared to Nvidias windows XP design too. An RX6800 at 4k on my 49 inch curved QLED with Radeon image sharpening at 80% is a thing to behold, particularly in older games. I was playing Rainbow six Vegas like this recently and the card was drawing about 40w Haha. Awesome card.

I picked up the RX6800 OC new a couple of weeks back for 475$ US on sale...it's a beast and hammers out great FPS in every game I play paired with my 5800x3d. MW2 2022 is hitting an easy 144fps frame cap I set using the in-game settings with blur and DoF off. I'm also getting well over 100fps in Cyberpunk2077 with generally High settings and RT off. I expect to get years of great gaming with this GPU.

Whats the song in the background when you was doing dying light gameplay @4:45?

I think the reason the price isn't lower is the die size of the GP. It's a cut down version of their largest die. Larger chips are more expensive to produce and I think they are really trying to keep the price at a certain level. I bought this card (I LOVE it) after I waited for it to hit MSRP maybe about 5 months ago and have watched the price and even Hardware Unboxed has done a lot of price coverage. This card has depreciated the LEAST of all 6000 series cards. It's crazy. Epic card though because when I got it for $580 US the 3070 was still like $900 or higher. and it even beats the 3070 Ti, except RTX stuff. But I went to AMD from Nvidia cause the prices are just too much man. Nvidia has amazing products but they are just stupidly greedy and that's really ugly to me as an enthusiast. It feels disrespectful. AMD is killing it in value on GPUs right now.

The GPU die is the same between 6900xt, 6800xt and 6800. Basically only dies that couldn't be used for the higher models would be binned into this model. As production continued and yields improved on TSMC 7nm there was no financial reason to make many of these, unfortunately.

I managed to buy one at launch at MSRP and I love it... runs like a dream paired with an ultrawide monitor 3840x1200 which is the sweet spot for RDNA 2 architecture.

does anyone know for the non xt 6800, are amd using the hitachi pad on the gpu core? or normal paste? because i just bought a used unit with no warranty so i was thinking of cleaning and repaste it. And what about the sizing of pads everywhere else ? could not find any info regarding non xt 6800. everyone seems to be using the XT version :/

What music is playing in the background at 5:32?

just scooped one of these up for a steal at 400 including shipping. msi gaming x trio version. pleasantly surprised to see it’s the single most power efficient card out right now. should be able to crush 1440p gaming for me for the next 5 years. has pretty good overclocking potential, can give the base rtx 3080 a run for its money with a decent oc.

Undervolted RX 6800 to 0.93v. and Power draw droped to 150-180W in peak - performance penalty maybe 0.5 - 1%

This card made a lot of sense when it came out. Not enough cards slide into this this upper mid tier range nowadays. Its either massively overpriced top tier or mass sales of low end cards. The whole GPU market needs more workhorses like 6800 or 580x that give good performance and longevity without breaking the bank.

RX 6800 also have the advantage of running surprisingly cool and quiet as almost all AIB decided to use the same cooler they would have use on 6800xt and 6900xt. I guess with the same chip and same board layout, it would be easier to just repurpose their higher end part.

This card is like the 7900GRE of it's generation, and it still rocks!

I wanted a 6800 because the reference model came as a 2 slot card and would fit in my small form factor build. I gave up trying to find one and got a 6700xt.

Got the OC one from Asrock and clocked it even higher not passing 230W. It is a beast chewing thru everything. In my opinion it was the best price to perf. option in Austria and Germany for 650€ about 6 months ago. Nvidia is pointless to look at since the 20series came out and my last card was a 1070. For 1440p the 6800 is perfect - and i even use RT depending on the game ...

Oh yeah i want to ask is that true amd gpu 6000 series can always or seldom crash,glitch,and black screen on intensive game and idle?

I ordered one of these last night along with a new flashy cooler. I can't wait for it to come in the mail. It was definitely an impulse purchase since I don't need it. Currently have a 6month old 6650xt and it plays really well. I'm not even sure what to do with it. I don't even have the original box anymore. Anyways I'm excited to put my new bad boy to work over the holiday break. I have a couple extra vacation days this year 😊

Is rx6800 reference card worth it to buy ? Heard of about it to be louder and has heating issues what do you recommend?

I just picked up RX 6800 with 16GB on Black Friday deal at $499 US dollars. Like others have mentioned this is an incredible card. I imagine in the years to come the price will come down and it will be a wonderful addition for those building their first budget computer. I'm no longer a Nvidia fan boy. For years I only got Nvidia just going along with the masses. The thing that really changed my view was how expensive they got with people trying to cash in on the bitcoin madness. I've got my eyes on what the Arc Intel GPUs in the future. Right now they are definitely not for gamers, but I'm glad they are getting into the market. I think (crosses fingers) we are entering some good times for GPUs.

What running in my main PC still now, purchased on day one at £599 on 19/11/2020, the XT version was like £675 but sold out

Guys I need your help , is it okay to buy 6800 used right now or should I wait for 7800 release so that price will get lower , and would it ?

This card is like ~$100usd cheaper than a 3070ti in my area...and performs about the same too. If you look hard enough, you probably can even find a 6800XT for about the same price as a 3070ti, and just for $500, thats a steal

Relatively low availability of this card kept the price too close to the 6800 XT. This was the GPU I coveted for some time before the prices finally started to come down but too many of the available cards were just slightly too long for my case so ended up with a 6700XT.

Purchased mine on release day from Micro Center and paired it with a Ryzen 5 3600X and haven't had any issues at all from day one. Since my monitor is 1080p, I play at that res with everything as high as it'll go and have a very enjoyable experience. Also does well with VR as I'm still running an OG Oculus Rift and it is butter-smooth in Lone Echo 2.

I love my 6800. Got me through the GPU crisis of 2020. Got mine at msrp as a personal reward for getting a promotion. It’s temporarily resting as I upgraded to a 6950xt upon getting a bigger promotion. But I think a living room PC is in order. It’s size and efficiency are too good to pass up.

Got this for $1299AUD right on launch, before it shot up to $1899. Awesome purchase. Runs with fans off in most workloads, and extremely quiet in games, running at 70c. No regrets!

The reason why AMD doesn't want this card to be more popular is explained through one simple fact. It is using a cut down Navi 21 chip. At this point in time TSMCs 7nm should yield so extremely good that there will not be a lot of defective chips on a wafer. So if AMD makes the 6800 non-XT more popular by pricing it more agressivly they would just shoot themselves in the foot, since they suddenly need to use pefectly fine Navi 21 chips and cut them down to a 6800 non-XT when it makes much more sense to sell that same chip as an 6800xt, 6900xt or 6950xt. So the reason in short is: Because the 6800 non-XT makes no financial sense for AMD any more!

Have the same CPU, GPU, RAM combination. I think this slightly outperforms the next gen consoles if you want that 4K 60fps experience minus ray tracing performance. Also the power draw is so efficient.

Picked up one for my extra PC for 375 and am really happy with the performance.

The reason it costs the way it does is because this card was originally made to repurpose salvage dies. The tsmc 7nm process has improved so much that there are barely any defects in the dies produced. Hence there is no need to build a 6800. AMD would rather build the 6800 XT and 6900 XT which have higher margins than this cost reduced version.

Love the rx 6800 I purchased one awhile back and it has served me well can game at 4k on most games with only around 180w power usage. Mine seemed to oc very well also.

4:44 Nice inclusion of the Final Fantasy X-2 main menu music. Nice to see another fan of classic video games who also gives the RX 6800 its proper due as a great budget graphics card.

Bought one a year ago for one of my other computers. Very much underrated card. Sixteen GB of Vram and reasonably efficient.

Wanted the XT version but got stiffed by the seller so ended up with that exact card. Absolutely ridiculous performance for the money and it fits in super small cases like the Velka 7 for a crazy portable, super powerful gaming pc.

I got it at launch at about 10% over MSRP. Love how efficient it is. Perfect for 1440p gaming.

That is a very nice card.. I have the 6800XT and I can push everything at 4K Native High settings except for maybe 2/3 games out I may have to play with the settings a little more. But most games it crushes in 4K especially with an ALL AMD rig and SAM on too..

I loved my 6800, an awesome 4K card. I was getting 4K 75fps in most games, including RDR2 with med-high, I think you need to reinstall the game or mess with the settings by switching from Vulkan to dx12 and back. The graphics occasionally got corrupted, not sure if its rdr2 or amd drivers, or both.

I agree. I'd recommend it over the 3070 unless you do a lot of streaming or you're sold on ready tracing (which I am not).

6800 owner here. Got it just before the proce hikes. 3440x1440P. Kicks arse. Will be hanging onto it for a while yet. And never had a driver issue.

I got my 6800 in the UK for £425 and the same listing on Amazon is now £512

Almost a year in the future here. The XFX card was on sale for $400 and it's a behemoth. Both in performance and in size 😂

Got one 2 days ago, love it so far other than the slight coil whine.

The 6700 non-XT is great as well. However I think the 6800 and 6700 are still too expensive here in Europe. For such old GPUs they're priced too high in comparison to where they're at in the States.

The best price performance card I am happy to buy this card, I hope amd does not cut support for the rx 6 series, we will use it for many more years.

I just see this video and I just bought an RX 6800 ASUS TUF OC for about $450 USD in my country México, so far very happy with it!!

I have the ASRock OC version for 2 years now and it works flawlessly on 1440. I was considering upgrading but I find it hard to sell on second hand (people in Israel are mostly nVidia fanboys).

Hey guys do you feel this would be a decent upgrade over my 2070 super?

I bought a asus tuf variant of this brand new for $353 (converted to usd) from a used retailer, I knew it was brand new because every film is still intact, and they sometimes get gpu's that are new but is still sold as 2nd hand because they are pull outs from korea, closing stores or miners. I love it, under max load it's only 56-58c, and is under 160W

you should have used fsr quality mode on all these games and it hits 4k 60 fps in almost all. alsi prices dropped and now you can get it for msrp or even lower, in europe a notorious high prices land, it dropped to 550 dollars now

Love mine, run it undervolted and it pulls about 175W during gaming :)

The 6800 was a great card, smaller cooler, lower power use. The problem is the BIOS is LOCKED, to ruin overclocking and sell the XT variant. Combine that with the shortage, and the 6700xt was more reasonable. AMD didn't want to sell 6800s, they wanted to market segment and upsell. The base 6800 was clearly too good, and needed to be BIOS locked and segmented. It was more about filling a gap than making a good card with a two slot cooler.

great video

My RX 6800 is able to do GPU 2400Mhz, VRAM 2100Mhz at 885 mv and a temperature of 60C at 210w. I have an ASUS TUF gaming card and they use the same cooler on the 6800 as the XT and 6900. The result is ridiculously good cooling. Other manufacturers use the 6750 cooler on the 6800 and theirs run hot. I use OCCT software for stability tests because its free and it will give you actual windows and software errors to troubleshoot. My system can run with no errors at its current state. Also, I use the standard VRAM timings because I gain almost 8c and 30w with it enabled for negligible performance gains. The RX 6800 is insanely underrated.

I just ordered an used rx 6800, hopefully it wrks fine!

Good video dude, I like your cool accent too

I paid a bit over 1K at Micro Center for the 6800 during the pandemic. Now it's a steal.

i buy this card for $250 usd the last owner was a miner, a perfect card for 1440p lol i undervolted it a now its running a 170w on full load @2300mhz

i got my 6800 4 months ago xfx reference and im glad i did, it does 4k at almost anything i throw at it with the 16gb vram love it grabbed her for 450 bucks

Currently selling for £447 on Amazon right now….🧐

I'd say the RX 6800 is more of a QHD card (the stronger kind) than a 4K one. Even with the RX 6600 (which I own) it is possible to play some games in 4K over 60 fps, but not everything and not at max (it must be on the lowest settings). For now, I'm looking to get it and the XT variant, but realistically the RX 6800 should now be around 400 euros and the XT around 450. Those are already over 2 years old cards. And since the prices are not there - I'll probably wait for the RX 7800 XT :D

I got recently Asus rx 6800 tuf brand new from shop with warranty and everything else here in Lithuania for 480€. That price was way too good to miss out.

Hello friend! Thanks for the video. Please be aware that ray tracing increases CPU load and your 10400F is definitely restricting your RX 6800.

Hellos, I loves me the RX 6800. I was set on getting an RTX 3070, but it was during a time it was impossible to find one, but I luckily ran into a lone RX 6800 that just happened to be available. I got it kind of grudgingly... However, after I installed it I became a huge fan of this card! I actually never looked at back at Nvidia's card at all to this day, nor regretted this decision.

Bought one new for 450 Euros the other week. I am blown away by the performance of this card. Took some time to get the drivers working correctly, but now everything is perfect. 16GB VRAM is a blessing at 3440x1440.

When I bought, the difference between the XT and non-XT version was like 100USD. I decided on the non-XT version because of the lower power consumption (didn't want to upgrade PSU) and the better efficiency per watt according to the reviews. I have a 4k panel, but game mostly in ultrawide aspect at 1440p because I like the extra field of view. Also, none of the stuff I game is AAA, so no need for me to go higher. With my usual games this card runs below 40% usage and hovers around 60 degrees barely getting above 120 watts. It's a keeper.

Sadly they power & clock locked this one down, otherwise it would have been able to overclock up to XT levels. I have one in a custom loop that runs cool and can clock over 2.5ghz, but lacks the ability to raise the voltage like the XT & 6900 models

That is my card, which I bought on MSRP at the time it was released.

I bought about a month ago an Asus TUF RX 6800 which I am pairing with a Ryzen 5800x. I play at 1440. Don't play any of the games in this video but does great in Shadows of the Tomb Raider, Horizon: Zero Dawn, and Resident Evil 2 (remake). I do have Cyberpunk 2077 but have not played it yet. Shopping for video cards is actually pretty complicated both on New Egg and Amazon. Many of the cards are not actually sold by New Egg / Amazon but are sold by a third party retailer. You don't know if you are actually buying a used or refurbished card. As well, many of the manufacturers of the cards are not the trusted brands. If you were shopping from New Egg itself, at the time of purchase, the Asus RX 6800 was the lowest priced RX 6800 at around $500. The RX 6800x was around $620 I think. I also believe that was for an Asrock. It was not worth it for me the extra $120 for the performance difference. I actually could not instal it at first because my case was too small for the card.

From Denmark, I just bought an XFX 6800 which I am SUPER happy with. I had an RX 5700 for 3 years which has also been super good. And ALL THAT crap with bad drivers for AMD GPU can be stopped where the sun never shines I gave 3200 Danish kroner for my XFX 6800 = approx. $450. Now Denmark is unfortunately a country where EVERYTHING is EXPENSIVE because of taxes on EVERYTHING.

Proud owner of one ❤️ the led light is stuffed but meh it runs well

Bought the RX 6800 last week from MicroCenter for $529usd. Great value card when you look at the cost per frame. Supports 4K in all but the most demanding games without a problem. Runs much cooler and quiter than my RX580 while producing two to three times the frame rates. I waited a long time for gpu prices to come down to a "reasonable" level. My favorite game runs at almost 250fps (world of warships). Thanks for the review.

For me it wasn't price but availabilty. In Aus I could get my hands on 6800 buy not 6800xt. More than happy with what I got though. Awesome card, especially at 2K.

I bought the XFX model in October from Amazon for $ 429.99

Just ordered one of these on ebay for $400 in June 2023. Still a better value than any new product being offered. Also has the bonus of being extremely power efficient.

best fps per watts ratio of rtx3000 and rx6000 got the reference model just last week used for 359 € used (~390$) an replaced my 1080TI after 6 years. awesome performance.

I watched this video before buying ASRock 6800 card and now I'm back to like and sub.

I got a 6800 XT. I was so excited and then I found it had a broken PCB. So it had to go back. Instead of replacing it new just refunded. It's probably on its way to a new customer right now who's not gonna be happy.

The card is even better if you PowerPlay mod it. My TUF variant lives at about 2525Mhz and doesn’t really come near 200 watts.

got it fir 400 euros the Asus Tuf edition money well spent?

The silicon to make an rx 6800 can instead be used to create an rx 6800 xt and yield a bigger profit for AMD and probably partners too. To be fair the rx 6750 xt performs within 90% of it at lower cost. I prefer the 6800 too but we could have been left without a suitable replacement.

This card costs a little more than the xt variant because it draws less power and is much quieter while maintaining identical performance in workstations, ie non gaming workloads.

There wasnt many of the rx 6800 made as the chip probably had better yields as time went on from the full chip that powers the xt.

The issue is the XT model is only about $20-40 in the U.S. Not sure about other regions of the world. I think the 6800 needs to come down in price.

I have went out of my way to make sure i got the 6800 and not the higher up cards due to its 250w power usage.. i will never buy a card that uses more power. my limit is 250w max

In my country, 6800XT is sometimes at the same value as 6800... so, i always favored the XT version.

The CPU is the reason why spiderman is all over the place. I have a similar issue and running at 4k resolves it.

just got the 6800 xt its a monster

just pick one up for 300 new after tax too!!!!!!!!!!!! waas a steal nice lil upgrade till the 5090 comes

I just got one for 400 euros and I'm very happy.

i think amd "forgot" about this card because it was the "cheap" option and amd wanted to sell expensive cards. i love my 6800. with my recent upgrade to a 5700x (had for much less than half msrp) from a 2700x i wont have to upgrade my pc for years to come. choosing am4 4 years ago was a really good decision. still running my 4 year old x470 and i expect ill still be using it 4 years from now.

Muhahahaha! I got a open box RX 6800XT off of ebay earlier this week. Gonna install it tomorrow!

Great review, buut pairing the RX 6800 with that anemic 10400F is a crime against GPUs :D

2.6GHz OC is easy to attain. Unfortunately Lisa Su C(l)ocked blocked us 😜

Just managed to snatch a used 6800 for the price of a new 3060, and I'm just loving it. Quite the upgrade from my old T600, and so efficient! As far as I know, the crazy pricing is because AMD barely produces any 6800s at all. Both the 6800 XT and the 6800 are cut-down versions of Navi 21 (the RDNA2 top silicon die, used in the 6900 XT and 6950 XT), and it seems that TSMC's yields are good enough that they don't really need to disable most Navi 21 dies that much, so they all become 6900 XTs or 6800 XTs, which theoretically carry higher prices and higher margins. That worked well for them during the GPU crypto-drought (if everything sells out, why disable dies that you could sell for more money?), but in a normal market it doesn't make any sense.

you need to set the power limit to the max
