50 better Wink The higher the number, the better the card, typically. This has 4GB more vram also.

Yes, 6800 has more vram, larger memory bus of 256 bit over 192 bit, and does this at lower voltage and should generate less heat.

According to Toms Hardware, at 1440p ultra settings will get 10-15 fps better than 6750 XT, from under 80 fps to ~90 fps.

For those who don't know, there is a pretty sizable difference in performance between the the 6800 and 6800XT. I'd personally go for the 6800XT / 7700XT / 7800XT over this card, much better performance for roughly $100 more. Of course the 6800 isn't bad either if you're on a strict budget.

This GPU is huge. It didn't fit and I ended up returning it.

What you said is mostly true, but the RX 6800 is the same if not slightly better then the 7700 XT at a much better price point, so that card isn't worth the extra $30-50

I'm by no means an expert, going off YouTube vids tho 7700XT is much better and pretty comparable to the 6800XT

Yeah that's what I meant, 6800XT and 7700XT are pretty even, but both are a good bit better than the 6800

Here's a Techspot/Hardware Unboxed review that finds the 7700 XT slightly behind the 6800 non-XT:

https://www.techspot.com/review/2...n-7700-xt/
1080p 15 game average [techspot.com]
1440p 15 game average [techspot.com]
4K 15 game average [techspot.com]

On the other hand, Tom's Hardware [tomshardware.com] has the 7700 XT slightly ahead in 1080p medium [futurecdn.net], 1080p ultra [futurecdn.net], 1440p [futurecdn.net], and 4K [futurecdn.net]. The review shows a larger gap between the faster 6800 XT and 7700 XT, than the 7700 XT and 6800.

The 7700 XT and 6800 look pretty much even to me. But you get an extra 4 GB of VRAM with the 6800 which may give it some longevity. It's a decent GPU that uses less power than the 6800 XT. Maybe this specific card is too big though.

Looking at pcpartpicker and not seeing any cards that come close to this length. Why is it so huge? Is it a mistake?

I have this card and can confirm it is huge. I am using it with a 650w power supply and its been rock solid so far. Plan on upgrading the PSU sometime in the future but since nothing has crashed I am not worried about it.
