6800 Xt Vs 2080

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.

Best printer I have ever seen in my 40 years of practice, brother 6800

Solid and well built. Works great on my classic Meade 2080 SCT.

Nicely done on the PRO VS EVO. The PRO actually does have a full 1TB available, VS the EVO's 960GB after formatting.

Great source of soft light to diffuse a small LED. I used this soft box attached to my Generay 6800. I used it as a kicker light or a follow light for moving actors or to film quick insert shots of objects and extreme closeups to brighten up the exposure. The Generay 6800 also a great CRI above 90 is roughly 10x4 and the sides extend an inch on both sides of the soft box when inflated, but works well without even covering those two ends with some CineFoil.

Works perfectly out of the box. Needed BIOS update which was easy to do. Is not able to run DDR 5 6800 RAM at 6800 speed and has it capped at 4800. Maybe another BIOS update will enable 6800 someday soon. BIOS has tremendous number of settings and is easy to navigate. So far I’m pleased with this board. It keeps fans QUIET for normal tasking. I’m not a gamer but my grandkids are so they’ll be proud that Papaw built them a real GAMER machine. My old Asus board spun fans loudly even in low task mode. It was 12 years old and past time for retirement like me.

I purchased this for my custom rig to support my newly acquired 2080 Super GPU. Easy install, nicely labeled cables. Fit well in my microATX case, and powers the system without issue.

Quiet. Cool. Extremely fast. Having upgraded from a Gigabyte WaterForce 2080, the ROG 4080 is much quieter and runs 10 -20C cooler. I didn't realize how much of the heat in my office was coming from the water-cooled 2080. Although the 4080 was a bit pricey for a simple color change, I find it well worth the multi year wait. I highly recommend.
