Not the all time lowest when you include shipping, but it is still quite a decent deal. Unfortunately, AMD didn't announce the ≤7800 XT models at their event yesterday so for now, those of us who were chasing those models might need to settle with the 6xxx series. If you don't need a GPU right away, you are probably best off to HODL for a bit longer but unfortunately, my old gpu is dying so I am out of that boat.
You would then also need a 850w psu which not everyone has
people forget to take that into account, its the same with a new CPU. Theres also the extra size
Lmao what a load crap. I ran one perfectly with zero issues with a rm750x. I plan on running a 7900 xtx with that power supply also lol
The wattage may have been wrong but the point still stands
You say that like you cant reduce the power target?
Why spend more for a gpu just to power limit it.
@nk7: Reduced power target =/= reduced performance. Depends on how you go about it
Can also undervolt.
It will still have more performance than a 6800 non XT.
@nk7: a decent 750 watt is all you need. Ive seen people running them with a 650w supply lol really depends on the quality of the psu. I wouldn't recommend less than 750w though, no need to power limit, undervolting would be better
@S1nn3r86: agree, i undervolt my 6800 to 920v, power consumption drop from 180w to 130w. gpu temp drop to 60 degree. I also clock down a bit to lets it run a bit cooler, losing 2-3 fps. But 140w (same clock speed) undervolt should perform as good as stock setting.
I did say this isn't the lowest all time price, plus that was back in September. Unless you have a time machine, that deal is expired.
Just because a deal has expired doesn't mean that all time low never happened. Paying for this 6800 non-xt is a crime when there are 6800XT's for almost the same, heck even that 6900XT is a steal of the year at amazon for just $900.
Too much, maybe $599
I don’t think that price is fast approaching to be honest
i got one of the reference models in mint condition on the secondhand market for $500. kicking myself i didn't keep it, was so pretty
That price is no good at all for a 6800. Ive seen 6800 xt's going for $799 which is a noticeably better card. The new cards just got announced so these will drop in price soon imo
Bought 6800 a months ago for around $699 and use it with 650w PSU (cooler master V2). i think it consume around 180w before undervolt. I undervolt mine to 920v (every gpu could be different even same brand and model), lose around 2-3 fps at 4k but only consume around 130w and around 60 degree when playing warzone. Great gpu but $819 is too expensive.
How do you get that undervolt. I'm struggling to get below 1030 on my 6800 xt
I watched
https://youtu.be/vnWFvKbyA4A (Undervolt + underclock)
https://youtu.be/rU_31-Z6om4 (undervolt + overclock)
My setting somewhere between them. I used heaven benchmark for stress test, I underclocked 50 mhz and able to get stable at 920v (crashed once at 910v, increased to 920v all good until now), 6800xt might be a bit different.
I suggest you can start with lower your default max boost clock by 50mhz, set your min clock 100-200 lower than boost clock. Run stress test compared to default setting, check the fps, temp watt ect. You can over lock too if you want. Reduce 20-30v per test, repeat again if stable.
This is 6800xt https://youtu.be/6oaYlLIbkG4
But still, every cards is different, even same brand and model.
thanks. ill give that a go.
Wonder how much the 6800xt would come down on Black Friday
Would be a deal if it was the XT. But regular 6800 at this price… no deal.
Not a deal when the 6900xt is up on amazon for $910 delivered
