Works well out of the box, without overclocking. Very powerful GPU. Caution: It is a chonker...huge GPU, so make sure you have the horizontal clearance. That being said, much of its size has to do with the fans, which keep it very cool while gaming. This thing is cooler than AMD's reference cards, so I highly recommend it. I really like the MERC logo on the shield, It's the best looking card I've ever owned.

Short and sweet; 13.1 inch card. Barely fit in my iCue 220t so be careful with compatibility. Upgraded from 1070, get about double to triple the fps. RT and Pathtracing are bad, be careful, grab this on sale. Remember this is about to be a midrange card in a few months.

this is a very very good graphics card, very fast and everything I could ever need. As well, the cooler on the card is excellent and it keeps it well within good temperatures. I bought this card for 1050$, well above the reference card price, and well above even the initial price of 800$. Yes, tariffs and what not add to the cost, however you must consider if its worth the price for you. It was for me, but won't be for most people. Additionally, is it possible for you to actually get the card? Overall, there are too many caveats for me to give a 5/5, sadly, none of the caveats are related to the card, and all of them are about pricing and availability.

Nice upgrade from a 3070, luckily the market is in favor of the buyer these days especially if you have older Nvidia hardware you have less use for. Kicked out the 8 GB 3070 in my secondary rig in favor of this beastly 16 GB 6800 XT. I absolutely love the design of this GPU, it's simple but sophisticated.

Overpriced for what it is but still a great card. Has coil whine however. As others mentioned, it is extremely large so make sure your case can support it.

This card is so big that I had to remove some of my drive bays in my full size ATX case just to get it in. Aside from that, the performance is great, and it6 super quiet. Works perfectly with Linux.

Solid GPU (MONSTER)

Solid gpu for a while it was underperforming and I looked everywhere online like Reddit and their support and finally found that when I booted up bios, dual channel ram wasn’t enabled, so I enabled it and I gained about 20-30fps in all my games.
It runs pretty hot I use a pretty garbage ibuypower case (don’t get an ibuypower case for high end builds) so I just took the side glass off and that usually brings the temps down to 60-78, temps would normally reach 80-98 with side glass.
I’m running a 11700f (pretty bad cpu) but it’s still like 1-5 FPS behind a build with a 5800x.
I use a 850w psu which is perfect for this gpu.
I would consider this a “monster” bc it does reach higher FPS than rtx 3080 in most games I would highly recommend watching a uninstall drivers video on YT to anyone who is switching from nvidia to amd because the process could get tedious and frustrating.
I’ve heard a lot of 6800xt hate but now i know most ppl are just dumb so they don’t fully uninstall nvidia drivers before installing amd drivers so their performance is effected and then they come on Best Buy and make some bull crap review about how amd sucks and they’ll never choose amd again lol.
I upgraded from a 2060(something that can’t even run high settings) so I’m happy with my purchase for sure.

In my opinion compared to the rtx 3080 it beats the price to performance ratio. Even though this gpu is a monster to fit into cases, it gets the job done with great amounts of fps for 1440p and 4k gaming

These things are extremely good cards. Yeah, they're not cheap and I know that, but it obligated my entire game library. Big card, so make sure your case can handle it.
