XTXH new die + best cooling for a 6900XT on the market = Pulled trigger for me
https://shop.asus.com/us/90yv0gf1...amin
I just pulled the trigger last night, hoping to sell my 3070Ti before next gen and take less of a hit from this $836 purchase after CA tax. If i can sell my 3070Ti FE for atleast $500, It would lesson the blow.
As this is the best model for a 6900XT, I finally pulled the trigger.
After hearing about the next gen being more power hungry and possibly bigger price tags, I might as well just upgrade with this and sell my 3070Ti while its still worth something.
If next gen proves to be best bang for buck, I'm sure i could sell this for a nice return and then buy a next gen.
Just got mine today.
Shipped directly from Asus. It says they will request signature to deliver, however mine was left at the door. The box was blank so nobody could tell what it was, but it was still left on my doorstep. Just make sure u stalk the delivery and are home.
GPU is protected by foam inside a GPU box. Put into a box and then shipped in another box. Yes, 3 boxes total.
I will install it when I wake up.
NOTE: Update
No anti-sag bracket is included. I missed this and was let down by spending so much and not coming with one.
The matching bracket is sold on amazon for $45 but not sure I want to spend that much and currently deciding on a support bracket. It is heavy.
In fact, most of the RGB is on the front side with the fan. It would make more sense to buy a vertical gpu bracket.. instead of a support bracket. This would show the nice RGB on the card and become its support as it would be vertically mounted. (If your case supports vertical mounting)
After learning about best mounting positions, GamersNexus which is known for its science aspect of computers has confirmed that these types of builds are best installed on the top of pc cases.
So, I will install my radiator on the top of case.
I will continue install after I find a support bracket.
UPDATE 9/20/2022
I have installed it.
Looks like the card is sturdy enough, no support bracket is needed, although the RGB would be best for vertical mounting. It also come with no screws for the radiator, you will have to keep your case screws for that.
I updated the vbios per Asus website. The Factory vbios is a 2021 version. New vbios is 2022.
It is a beautiful card.
I am able to play World of Warcraft at 4k 120hz with medium video settings. I feel like I can max out settings, but reserve that for high graphic fights and keep the settings on medium.
Mine came with lots of scratches on the outer plate. I will be asking for some kind of compensation. Noise level is not noticeable unless I get down and put my ear next to the case. Use-case scenario, silent.. even with fans on.
This is truly the best 6900 XT card and im happy with my purchase. Not only is it currently the best 6900 XT model on the market, its also the cheapest model (by $40. All the others are currently air-cooled and $799) with newer XTXH die for best performance.
This is the best 6900 XT model because its boost clock is rated to 2500+mhz, meanwhile ALL the other 6900XT cards are rated lower (1900-2400mhz).
Note: Don't forget to mount your radiator to the top of your case for best waterflow.
