Amd Radeon Hd 6800 Video Card

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.

When I had to replace the old video card for new Radeon RX 590 model in my wife’s 2012 MacPro, the up graded required a 1.4 DisplayPort to Apple Mini DisplayPort the adapter so that she could continue using her Apple 27-inch Cine-Display. Having done this exact conversion to my own MacPro with the same arrangement the year before, I found that StarTech brand adapter to be a good reliable avenue to go.

Just installed it will a AMD Ryzen 5 3600 CPU and Radeon rx 580 gpu. Haven’t had any issues and it has been running smoothly and fast. No complaints at all.

I upgraded from an AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 to Radeon Pro VII. I can tell the difference right away, although my system has a few outdated parts now, this is an excellent step forward to upgrading my entire system.

A fast, reliable and compact card. Perfect for HD video.

Time to upgrade my old Radeon RX580. Still running well, except the newer games are being bottlenecked by the graphics card. Decided to go with the RX7900 GRE, and I am glad I did. Getting great frame rates and beautiful video rendering. The Gigabyte drivers are stable and run well. This is a big card. It is a tight fit and requires careful cable routing. A big power supply is recommended, a 750W or bigger. Very pleased with the upgrade. My newer games look so much better!

First graphics card upgrade in eight years. My old card (Radeon RX580) was creating a 54% bottleneck within my PC. Upgraded to a 3060 12g v2 and have seen a marked performance increase. Which is to be expected when making a three generation jump in graphics cards. No longer getting a bottleneck.

It's a memory card, it works. Was fine for general HD video capture.

Now that I have graduated from a Video8 to a Flash Card based HD Camcorder, I think I will be taking a lot more videos. The size of this unit makes it easy to haul around with you... it fits in the same backpack I use to carry my SLR camera in one of the lens pouches. Video is clear and the many configuration options is a plus. Indexing through the different video scenes is a breeze... no more FF or Rew the tape! Downloading the video to your computer is a snap and the SW that is provided, though basic, gets the job done. It creates a library that allows you to easily enjoy what you shot on your computer.
