SPEEDSTER MERC319 AMD Radeon RX 6950XT Core 16GB GDDR6 PCI Express 4.0 Gaming Graphics Card

Q: Does it have a USB 3.0 port on the back? it looks like it but every other website doesnt include it in the specs except a few...

A: It does not, at least mine does not. Could have been planned to have one and they just didn't update the image model when they took it out.

Q: WILL THIS CARD FIT IN An OMAN 30L CASE?

A: My fractal pop air is two inches wider then the omen, and i don't have two inches of clearance (same GPU) so most likely not.

Q: Does this come with Last of Us?

A: Yes

Q: DOES IT COME WITH THE BOX OR NO BOX ?

A: This item is new in box.

Fast, Big, Beautiful
I recently upgraded from a gtx 1080 to the 6950xt. So far i am really enjoying the card as I am moving into the 1440p visual sector. What i really like besides the performance is the AMD Adrenaline software that allows you to set different visual options per game as well as monitor every aspect of the card in-game. This helps with older titles as some of them need to be fps limited to avoid issues. I would recommend turning off the zero rpm mode or setting an aggressive fan curve as the card will get very hot(which is normal) but i prefer to keep temps in the 60 degree territory. I also like the 16gb of vram as this will make this card future proof for a long time. Much better price per frame than the other guys. One last note is to be sure if you are switching from Nvidia is to delete all old drivers using DDU software before installation. Great card and excellent performance. Highly recommended.

A great card at a great value right now.
I had several concerns about the XFX Merc 319 Radeon RX 6950 XT when I purchased it. The main worry that I had was that XFX is known for making large graphics cards that might not fit in my Corsair 4000D case. When I received the card, I was relieved to see that it fit with a little room to spare. There is a little bit of GPU sag, but I’m looking into different options to correct for that. While talking about aesthetics, I have to comment that I saw a lot of people talking about how they felt the white “Merc” graphic on the backplate of the card detracted from the overall look of it in their systems. Honestly, that was never a concern for me since my CPU cooler helps to hide that part of the backplate, and the lighting for the Radeon logo and model number look very tasteful. On to performance, before using this card, I was using an AMD reference 6750 XT, and I always felt that card ran a little hot with the junction temp hovering around 100 degrees Celsius. (That card starts to thermal throttle around 110 degrees) The XTX Radeon 6950 XT tends to run with a junction temperature in the mid 70s while drawing around 303 watts under load, so it runs much cooler than the card I was using previously in my system. I tend to game at 1440P and everything I play runs at 144 FPS (my monitor’s refresh rate) on the highest settings. The only title that does not hit 144 FPS is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, which tends to fluctuate and cap out at about 70 FPS on ultra settings. I suspect that since my monitoring software reports only 54% GPU utilization, that is probably an engine cap in the game itself since my 5800X3D is not reporting high utilization either. You want a GPU that can give you high performance? This card delivers. You want a GPU that runs cool and quiet with no coil whine under load? This card delivers. And right now with the new flagship Radeon 7000 series cards available, this card is a real value for the money. I definitely recommend the XFX Merc 319 Radeon RX 6950 XT.

Great 4k card and
I had bought the LG C2 and decided to upgrade from my previous video card (3060ti) to push 4K. This card has been near perfect and for the current sales price of $650 is a no brainer. I can play nearly all games at 4K max settings at over 60fps and well optimized games at 100+. Highly recommend this card for anyone who desires 4K gaming without spending 1000+ for a card.
