6800 Xt Power Consumption

I really like the simplicity and the design of this Case. A lot of room for my RX 6800 XT Midnight Black. Cable management is also easy to do. In regards to installing the x63 radiator tubes down. It's a bit challenge if you don't search how to do it. But it's possible and easy to do. Overall it's a pretty case.

The 6800 XT is in a sweet spot right now for 1440 gaming. If you find this card for $520-$560 you will not regret a purchase. The Nvidia 3080 offers essentially the same level of performance but costs approx $200 more. Any 6800 XT is good, but this ASUS model is a slice above the rest. Very well made with better than average cooling. If you want a quiet experience, AMD's Adrenaline software has a push button undervolt setting that works very well with almost no noticeable drop in performance. But this card also overclocks well if you don't mind the fan noise. People complain about AMD drivers, but don't believe the haters. That is a thing of the past. If you are considering a mid-tier card within the next year, this is a great buy right now. You can wait and see if AMD's mid tier next gen (i.e. RX 7600) will be a better proposition, but that might be a year from now. If ray tracing, streaming and some production programs are a priority for you, consider Nvidia, as they do it better, but you will pay more. The 6800 XT can still do ray tracing satisfactorily at 1440p in most games. (For example. I play Shadow of the Tomb Raider at max settings, with ray-traced shadows, and it is solid 60fps). 4K might be pushing it though for ray tracing. Overall a great buy you will be very happy with.

I bought my Gigabyte RX 6800 XT to replace a Radeon VII. This GPU is almost the same length as the Radeon VII but slightly thicker. It requires the same two power cables. I immediately noticed a decrease in fan noise. I was able to set some of the games to their absolute highest settings. The Gigabyte RX 6800 XT handles the load just fine. And there is a noticeable improvement in graphics performance over the Radeon VII. Now that prices have returned to normal and continue to drop, the prices on these is quite reasonable. Stock availability can be an issue. Patience is needed to hit the right price and have access to availability. There is one problem, and a huge problem at that. My GPU failed at just about 60 days of ownership. First the OS started losing the GPU and required reinstallation. Within a week of that the GPU just failed. I couldn't even get the POST screens. Gigabyte has a three year warranty. I was able to get an RMA and sent out the GPU for service. I wouldn't expect a GPU of this caliber to fail as this one has, but electronics are not perfect I'm expecting Gigabyte will jus replace it with a new one. I would definitely recommend this GPU to anyone.

Good power consumption without sacrificing the performance a much.

Great image quality and low power consumption

Small, low power consumption, but immensely capable when used with other compatible hardware.

This is a well built bugger. I like the low power consumption since it's on 24/365. Power supply fits in my UPS conveniently. Little known Trendnet makes good things. This is my second switch of theirs.

Great processor, decent value for power level. Low idle power consumption.

Works as advertised. Excellent Idling-Low power consumption

Works great with no discrete GPU needed - less expensive to build, and with less power consumption also.
