GigabyteAORUS Radeon RX 6900 XT Xtreme WATERFORCE WB 16G Graphics Card, WATERFORCE Water Block Cooling System, 16GB 256 bit GDDR6, GV R69XTAORUSX WB 16GD Video Card

This is a strong card. Basically a 6800xt with more overclocking capability. There is no wire for rgb so it does require fusion software. This would be my only complaint because it doesn't sync with anything else in my system

This card offers the best value of all the high-end graphics cards currently available. Highly recommend if you have custom water cooling system. I will not disclose 3d mark results, but you wouldn't be disappointed.

If you're spending the extra coin on water cooling a GPU especially with the shortage pricing, you want extra thermal headroom and no noise.Out of the box the water block's contact with the GPU die was poor enough to warrant immediately repasting it before putting it under load. This fixed that issue, but come on now...Far worse is the coil whine I discovered when load testing. It is absolutely insufferable. My case is modified pretty heavily to deal with fan/pump noise, but when the card is under load the coil whine is so loud I can sometimes hear it though headphones. None of the usual tricks- overclocking, undervolting, or swapping the PSU out helped. Changing the frame rate just changes the pitch of the whine- at low FPS it sounds like an ignition click and at very high FPS (e.g. on really old games) it's a high-pitched squeal. It has not gone away after a month of regular use. With a freesync panel the pitch changes with the frame rate. It gets real annoying real fast.Unfortunately I didn't get all my parts in until Amazon's return window closed on this so I didn't discover this issue timely. If I could have I would have returned it here rather than be stuck trying my luck (and my patience) with GB.This is absolutely unacceptable at any price point, but especially sucks given how expensive this thing was. At this point, it's either bite the bullet, try risky surgery, or cut my losses on fleabay and get another brand of card.With the repaste the thing performs fine, but the coil whine just ruins the mood.Oh... and just to add a little insult to injury, they included a little mascot figurine in the box. Cute, but that money would have been better spent on QC.Learn from my mistake, and load test your card before the Amazon return window closes.

Everything is awesome just still can’t get over the sticker shock but happy I did it none the less. Runs amazingly in my custom CPU/GPU loop

Personally I think gigabyte shouldn’t have used the photos they did in their advertising… this card isn’t blue/purple like in the photos, it’s mirrored when off, yet will show through any color you want it to be when on. Think that probably hurt the popularity of this card. Ignore the colors….check out my photos.As far as performance, this is definitely the fastest rx6900xt you can buy.
