    5 Stars
    This card is a beast. I'll leave it at that...
    As the title says. This card is a beast in every which way possible. I upgraded from the EVGA [RIP :< ] NVIDIA 1080Ti, which lasted me a good five years and was still pretty competent in running modern games, but was definitely starting to show its age with a 4K monitor and today's (poorly optimized) games. I decided to go AMD this time around, as the price/dollar ratio with AMD right now seems far better... especially with the 4080 costing on average $300 more, and the 4090 being off into space at double to above double the cost. That's not really cool when this card trades blows with NVIDIA's flagships in raster performance, and the focus of RTX/Radeon is for gaming, not for AI/Compute work. Not that AMD can't do those to be clear... ROCm is a thing, but just needs more developer support for it, and AMD still has some work to do in their drivers to unlock the full potential of these chips.The card itself is quite big, as shown in my photos, but it fits snug with my system configuration, the color scheme matches my system quite nicely, and the anti-sag retention bar is a nice addition to have with the card given its size and weight. Cooling-wise, the card operates at 60C when gaming under full load, with a 75C-80C Hot Spot Temperature, with the fans operating at about 30% duty cycle. The card power draw under full load is approximately 390 Watts.Gaming performance wise, I'm satisfied. Games such as Battlefield 2042 at 4K Native, 100% Render Resolution, Ultra Settings, HDR and Ray Tracing Enabled, push 70-100FPS. BattleBit Remastered does well north of 180FPS. Counter-Strike 2 runs at 170FPS+ at 4K Native, HDR and Max settings. Halo Infinite at 4K Native, HDR, Max settings, pushes approximately 90FPS. Overwatch 2, similar settings, similar frame rates. That's pretty much it. The card performs consistently well, and has the VRAM to handle demanding gaming loads (Halo Infinite for some reason needs 18GB of VRAM?!). I could get higher frame rates with AMD FSR3 or by turning off some settings like Ray Tracing, but, hey... these frames are already a huge upgrade from the 1080Ti, and can only get better in time.Video Performance Wise: Compared to NVIDIA, AMD does have a weaker video engine. This was something which worried me at first based on my past experience with AMD GPUs (The Vega 8 in my laptop, and the previous Radeon HD 5770 I used to have which would downclock the VRAM every time video accelerated content was played). However, it has not affected my day to day. 8K60 YouTube is handled and plays back with the AV1 Codec. VP9, H.264, AVC1, and H.265 decoding are similarly capable of smooth playback, and day to day use I notice no difference between the 1080Ti's NVDEC chip and AMD's VCE in terms of performance. Encoding wise, Handbrake was able to transcode VC-1 video (This AMD GPU does NOT support VC-1 Decoding in the Video engines, so some software limitations are at play!) to H.265 10-Bit with exceptional quality at 130+FPS, and did so without impacting the rest of the card's performance. AV1 Encoding performance is similarly quick, and for live streaming, is phenomenal, with a crisp picture produced at 14Mbps to YouTube at 1440p. The video engine seems to multi-task reasonably well, and I have yet to encounter any artificial limits imposed in the driver, unlike NVIDIA which limits encode/decode streams on their consumer GPUs... a limit I have bumped heads with many times when working with VEGAS Pro, and which has been responsible for NVIDIA's driver crashing.Driver wise: AMD does tend to release more frequent updates to drivers than NVIDIA. This tends to be due to AMD's Driver QA and refinement being less robust than NVIDIA's. I have certainly noticed a few more odd glitches in games like flickering hair or invisible vehicles. Some of these could be game engine bugs. None of these bugs have resulted in games being unplayable. CS2 for example had a stutter bug which specifically affected the 7900XTX and was fixed quickly by AMD, but I really didn't notice this personally. Battlefield 2042 occasionally has a colorful hair issue on some characters, but only at the end-of-game recap. Driver crashes have been extremely minimal - I've experienced one crash which was due to a bug AMD has since fixed with CS2, but that's not to say things have been exceptionally smooth for me.There are definitely some resource scheduling issues to work out in the drivers. When the GPU is under heavy (100%) load, you may find that stuttering occurs in other programs like web browsers and in the mouse when Alt-Tabbing at times. This hasn't resulted in the system being unusable. It's just annoying and is intermittent. I did not encounter mouse stuttering with NVIDIA, so they seem to do a better job with scheduling in that regard, but other programs (hardware accelerated Chromium apps) definitely took their time doing any sort of action with the NVIDIA card under full load. Things with this AMD card remain snappy even with the occasional stutters.The AMD Software suite is overall pretty good. Unlike NVIDIA, AMD includes automatic driver updates, game optimizations, game performance statistics, game streaming (AMD Link), live streaming, game clipping and background recording, performance monitoring as well as overclocking features directly in AMD Software, WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT BEING REQUIRED! That is on top of the usual GPU settings for Display color/resolution, software profiles, and global 3D settings. You just install the software and everything is right there in one control panel. Some settings like monitor arrangement and color calibration, AMD Software will defer to the Windows Control panel, and this seems to be only where Windows will do a better job. I have noticed my system no longer has this strange 3-4 second freeze on boot-up when the driver package loads like I did with NVIDIA when GeForce Experience was loading in, so that's a plus.Now for the fun bits. When I initially installed the GPU, everything was pretty smooth. Run DDU, shut down the system, pull out the old GPU, install the new GPU. Everything worked on the first go. Install the AMD Drivers, Reboot, and all is fine and dandy! Within a few hours however, I started noticing some odd behavior while running games. If I had a game running on my main monitor (a 4K 144Hz HDR display), everything would be fine... until I Alt+Tabbed to use an application on my secondary monitors (two 1080p 144Hz SDR displays), or touched any application based on Chromium (Steam, Discord, Google Chrome...) while a game was running. The driver would hang for a few seconds and then recover, but not hang in the sense that my game or any applications would crash out. My primary web browser, Firefox, didn't cause any sort of problem with the driver. Thinking this was the infamous "Chromium Hardware Acceleration" bugs that seem to plague AMD, I considered disabling hardware acceleration in Chrome, until I considered the fact that Windows itself is not exactly behaving right.My next troubleshooting steps involved disabling Resizable BAR (AMD Smart Access Memory), which was enabled on my Motherboard (ASUS PRIME X370 Pro) as this has been known to cause issues with NVIDIA RTX 3000 series cards, as well as the AMD RX 6000 series GPUs. Also, since I am using a Ryzen 7 5800X3D on an X370 board, it's very possible there's a strange board problem going on causing the driver to hang. So great! I turn off Resizable BAR, and the problems disappear... for about 12 hours. The problems then return with a vengeance! Simple actions like running VLC in Full Screen, full screening YouTube videos, trying to run games, basically anything an average person might do, would cause the driver to hang... and sometimes crash hard. Even more silly - mousing over the display in AMD Software was enough to hang it. To make matters worse, the system got so unstable to the point where simply loading color calibration profiles for my monitor would cause the entire video driver to hang hard just by logging into the PC!As part of troubleshooting with Windows becoming unusable, I continued to mess around in the BIOS by disabling IOMMU, SR-IOV, Resizable BAR at a Chipset level (rather than in AMD Software), and toggled between the two BIOSs available on this GPU using the BIOS toggle switch found towards the PCI Bracket. Nothing! But by chance, I happened across the solution. While troubleshooting, I discovered that the center DisplayPort port was misbehaving. It could detect AND sync my 4K display at HDR, RGB 4:4:4, 144Hz without an issue... as if nothing was wrong. But when I connected my 1080p displays to this same port, the monitors would detect but wouldn't sync (output video). Neither one of my external monitors would sync on this port. ONLY the 4K display. The other thing I noticed is, when I didn't use the center DisplayPort port... the GPU wouldn't hang! Windows would log in! Everything worked! My setup now avoids the use of the center DisplayPort port, with one 1080p monitor connected to the HDMI port, and the remaining two monitors connected to the left-most and right-most DisplayPort port. All of the monitors are being fully driven, and my GPU is now 100% stable... even with Resizable BAR (AMD Smart Access Memory) enabled, IO-SRV, IOMMU, you name it enabled. I don't know at this point if the problem is going to require me to RMA the GPU with XFX, but given the number of complaints I've seen online regarding "a particular port" (like the USB-C port) on other 7900XTX GPUs from other brands, it's sounding more like an AMD Driver bug. Some people were able to temporarily resolve their hanging/freezing problems with "a particular port" by using DDU only to have it crop up a day later. That sounds pretty similar, doesn't it?Since figuring out the initial stability headache, the GPU has been enjoyable to use, and I do not regret the move from NVIDIA (I have been a long time NVIDIA customer FWIW - RIVA 128ZX, GeForce 4400MX, GeForce 8800GT, GeForce GTX770, GeForce 1080Ti) to AMD. The only time the driver has crashed was when I was playing CS2 on launch day, while streaming the game via Discord. I chalked that up to Discord being the problem, as I also experienced similar driver crashes on NVIDIA when game streaming in Discord. Turns out that was an AMD bug which they fixed a week later...Overall, if you're switching from NVIDIA, or are unsure about this purchase, I recommend this card. If you encounter the instability issues I first encountered... definitely think outside of the box. It's rewarding at the end.

    Well it finally arrived after some wandering around in the mail. Just upgrading from an XFX RX 6800XT (that is an excellent card). Had some problems at first with the card. It would crash on the loading screen of The Division 2 over and over. Tried tracing what the problem might be, took a couple of days of research on Google to find some answers and fixes. None of them worked, including changing the associations in Windows. The thing was it would only crash on that one game, which is my main game. Everything else worked except that I could not overclock the card without a crash. Set to default and it would run Cinebench, 3DMark, DaVinci Resolve but not The Division 2. Checked my game folder and ran a scan to repair files but there was nothing wrong. After 2 days/nights (full days with lots of hours) I was ready to contact. customer service and see about a return. I had the latest drives already installed from AMD 23.12.1 for my RX6800XT. I decided to try one more thing, I went into Adrenalin and reset the card to factory setting. It came back online with the latest driver installed and that was it. Everything worked and I could overclock too. I have been through a lot of GPU’s over the years and this is a first for me and every swap from AMD to AMD never had this problem. Once in awhile swapping between AMD and NVIDIA cards there might be a slight hiccup but easily fixed. Back to the RX6950 XT, basically the same size as the RX6800XT but it feels heavier. The card is quiet even when overclocked, undervolted, temps stay low in most extensive programs( I am running it in a Lian Li O11 Air Mini so there is lots of ventilation with 7 fans, not counting the two on the AIO). My AIO CPU cooler fans makes more noise than the card. It’s a powerhouse. I have no complaints with this card now that it is performing so well. These cards are starting to get scarce, I see the price has jumped up to the same price as the RX7900XT and some places are selling it for even higher than the RX7900XT. I’m just glad I got this at a discounted price. After some mis

    Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2023
    My one year old Nvidia 3060 ti FE 8gb is a nice little video card ( from a legacy build) , but began to be challenged in DCS and MSFS running ultra/high settings on my new system build- i7-13700, 2 x Sam 980 pro, 64gb ram, Seasonic Plat 850watts, 3x Sam 870 EVO, 4x Arctic 120mm case fans, 2x Arctic 120 cpu fans on Thermalrite Assassin, Antec P101 case. No real surprise since flight sims are notoriously challenging for frame rates,etc. DLSS helps some but native horsepower rendering really counts using TLAA, etc. The 40XX series is generationally lackluster ( except 4090) , pricey, and stingy on VRAM. Rumors are that Nvidia has drastically slowed 40XX production to support prices on existing cards for sale due to weaker demand. AMD on the other hand are slashing prices the last few months on superbly built cards, equipped with more VRAM. AMD has also decided to reportedly focus on mid tier cards going forward and likely ceding the 4090 high ground to others. As competition heats up for gpu chips with AI exploding, prices and scarcity of consumer gpus may get problematic in 2024 and beyond. Cryto bad? Dont know.
    This new XFX 6950 XT is built like a tank and it is mucho grande. It dwarfs my 3060ti in the photo. All metal design, three fans, two 8 pin sockets, super reinforced IO shield to pcb support- little to no card “ sag”, unlike other giant AIB cards. It has three DP ports and one HDMI. With DP, it supports my 1440 165mhz Dell monitor. The 6950XT can go ballistic and compete at 4K if I decide to go to an LG OLED. Many users report using these for VR. This card natively performs about 65-75% better than my 3060ti. It runs about 10C cooler, about 500-700 mhz faster, uses about 10% less vram and has DOUBLE the total vram. The only downside is its increased power consumption. At full tilt, the 6950 XT consistently reports using about 300 watts , and with my i7-13700 cpu , the whole computer maxes out at 485 watts at the wall plug- measured by a Kill a Watt plug in meter. That gives my Seasonic 850watt power supply plenty of headroom. For comparison, my 3060 ti and i7-13700 measured about 350 watts at the wall during gaming ( about 39% less power). The 6950 XT shows about 20 watts power usage at idle. I have played with the fan curves a bit and the Adrenaline software used to load your AMD drivers is easy to use. I have only used the card a few days but I am IMPRESSED ! I feel great about the purchase due to its: relative price/ performance; superb build quality; beastly native performance; 16gb moving forward into an uncertain GPU environment between Nvidia, AMD and Intel. This card was nearly double the price about a year ago. I considered the 7900XT but a minimalist 16% performance increase did not justify a 36% price increase. I did mildly consider the Asus 4070 but the $110 (16%) price increase to get a triple fan Asus model with LESS performance - about 16% LESS in 1440 and 27% LESS in 4K with 4gb LESS vram. No thanks.
    BTW- AMD is releasing two new mid tier cards tomorrow at Gamescon and will be announcing the release of FSR 3, a competitor to Nvidias DLSS 3. Lately, I have seen more and more former Green team owners now buying Team Red video cards. Now I know why. The AMD 68xx and 69xx cards were great performers- now at greatly reduced prices ( relatively speaking). Buy them before AMDs last gen super cards are no longer available. Like me, you will likely be impressed. Further, I used DDU Uninstall in Windows safe mode to uninstall the Nvidia drivers before I installed Adrenaline which contains the latest AMD drivers. Many YT vids on this simple and straightforward process.
    Registering your new video card at the XFX website reportedly extends your warranty to THREE years and XFX video cards generally have strong customer reviews for build quality, long term longevity, etc.

    UPDATE: 11/2/2023
    My original XFX RX 6950XT continues to amaze me. I recently built another computer to be used at another location and tried an Nvidia RTX 4070 12gb FE gpu in it because recently both MSFS and now DCS offer DLSS, an Nvidia exclusive. The Nvidia RTX 4070 12 gb FE demonstrated moderate performance at best, and worse, it started demonstrating hemispheric shading issues after being used for just a few days after purchase. Back it went to the partner retailer and i JUST BOUGHT ANOTHER XFX RX 6950XT for that alternate computer. Folks, this video card is just that good. For exactly the same cost as the Nvidia RTX 4070 12 gb FE, it smokes the Green card in pure, unbridled performance. These last gen AMD super cards are disappearing over time. Buy one before the inventory is exhausted. It will be a BIG DOG for quite awhile . Stunning build quality and Mach speed performance for the co$t.

    Im not disappointed switching from Nvidia to Amd, This card destroys any expectations I had about it. As I had an 3070 ti, Not only the Rx 7900 xtx is a hell of a powerhouse, but it also beats the 4080 in many games, I see that as an absolute win. Ray tracing performance is surprisingly very good, didn't had any issues with that, but i wouldn't rely on that for buying cards, but mainly a good msrp for buying one, wich this card really comes in a good price to performance. Runs very cool, hotspot doesn't go above 80°c and the die itself stays at 60°c in any extreme conditions and it's overclocking features really helps. With the bios switch and Adrenaline software overclock, i went from 450~ fps on Furrmark to 510~ fps, nearly a 60+ fps boost in rasterisation! The Adrenaline software and all it's features is really a plus, and the card still has some potential to gain with future driver updates, including the unused AI cores it has. The card is also GIANT, that's the biggest card I never holded and bought. See size comparaison image next to my 3070 ti.
    The gpu can get very loud when overclocked despite the temps being normal if you don't cap your fps, but if you prefer having better performance over noise just like me, that's a plus. It comes with a metal support for it's heavy weight aswell.

    No voy a hablar mucho del desempeño de la tarjeta por 2 razones, la primera hay numerosos reviews de las 6800 XT para revisar eso, la segunda es que la verdad no tenia pensado comprar esta tarjeta sino la 6750 XT pero Amazon subió el precio tanto durante el prime day que me salia más barata esta, la razón es que tengo un core i5 11400, una fuente de 650W y un monitor 1080p, así que buscaba algo conforme a eso, la verdad es que esta tarjeta esta más enfocada a 1440p y 4K, por lo que mi hardware no la aprovecha del todo, pero bueno más que nada me voy a enfocar en algún otro punto que uno debiera tener en cuenta de este modelo en especifico, me encanta el diseño de esta merc, sus leds (que no son rgb) se ven de excelente calidad, los materiales igual, la tarjeta es enorme la verdad así que igual hay que considerar que se necesita un buen espacio para colocarla, en mi gabinete apenas cabe con un par de cm de sobra que se debe ver en las fotos, algo que me llamó la atención es que aunque mi gabinete tiene la tarjeta en vertical mientras la colocaba y acomodaba los cables noté que al ponerla de lado (de la forma que normalmente queda en una pc) no tenía la famosa caída que tienen la mayoría de tarjetas cuando son muy grandes y pesadas, creo que su estructura es muy rígida y evita eso, de temperaturas en lo personal no he tenido problemas, alcanza unos 70-73C en promedio y cuando está en idle unos 48-50C, eso si, siempre la uso con el aire acondicionado por lo que la temperatura ambiente debe ser de unos 24C, pero mi gabinete es de hecho bastante cerrado y casi completamente de cristal templado, las temperaturas de los demás componentes no sufrieron un aumento considerable tampoco, tal vez 1 o 2 grados, ahora, en muchos lados y en comentarios van a leer sobre el famoso coil whine, no se si todas vengan con ese problema pero al menos en mi caso si está presente, solo que en lo personal no me molesta, tal vez mi gabinete por ser bastante cerrado igual reduce bastante el ruido pero si entiendo que dependiendo del entorno y gabinete podría llegar a molestar a algunos, dejo unos videos donde se debe escuchar sin problema el sonido, uno con el gabinete destapado y otro con el gabinete cerrado y con algo de sonido del juego de fondo para que vean que al menos en mi caso si esta el sonido del juego sea con bocinas o mis audífonos puestos pues es imperceptible, el ruido no está fijo, depende del consumo cuando está con un consumo bajo el ruido desaparece, igual se puede escuchar en el video, cada vez que se deja de escuchar es porque pongo el juego en pausa y el consumo baja como a 50W, su consumo promedio suele marcarme unos 280-290W máximo pero ya depende del juego, creo que seria el único punto negativo de la tarjeta y como dije dependerá de cada persona si es un punto lo suficientemente malo como para pasar de esta tarjeta, pero por el precio, su calidad de construcción, diseño y desempeño creo que es una excelente opción, por cierto venia de una 6600 y no tuve que reinstalar drivers ni nada, y me la reconoció y funcionó a la primera sin problemas aunque terminé actualizando drivers de una vez porque no había visto que había una versión más reciente, lo poco que la he probado esta funcionando sin ningún problema.
