Custom AMD RX 6800 XT Strix vs. Nitro+ & Merc Overclocking Recap
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
- We overclocked several AMD RX 6800 XT custom cards, and now we're recapping the stream results. Features ASUS RX 6800 XT Strix, Sapphire Nitro+, & XFX Merc 319.
Sponsor: Crucial Ballistix RAM (Amazon: geni.us/eykEA)
This is a recap of our live overclocking stream the other day. It was fun to work on these AMD cards, especially since we left them stock and didn't put them under extreme cooling. It can be fun to test stuff as is and without modifications, and it's a nice break from the regular LN2 streams. We still need to work towards doing full reviews of these GPUs; please remember that peak performance in overclocking doesn't mean the card is better or worse than the others. A lot more matters, like cooler efficiency, price, sizing and convenience, repairability, and other factors that we cover in our full reviews. This should just be looked at as a recap of a fun stream.
Heads-up: We're heading into a really crazy time of year for us and will need to make a lot of tough choices as to what gets covered and what doesn't. We'd like to hear from you in the comments whether you want us to prioritize partner card reviews, console thermal testing on the Xbox, or just other different content, like cooler/case reviews. Thanks!

Heads-up: We're heading into a really crazy time of year for us and will need to make a lot of tough choices as to what gets covered this month and what doesn't. We'd like to hear from you in the comments whether you want us to prioritize partner card reviews, console thermal testing on the Xbox, cooler/case reviews, or just different content. We want to cover it all, but there will be the usual holiday slowdowns and other factors that limit our capacity a little more than usually. Team members will be taking time off here and there, as you'd expect, and so we need to be more choosy about content coverage. Please let us know what you'd like to see. Thank you!
Console thermal testing is the most fun imo
Do whatever you want and have the time to do for the next content.
It's still long way for me to upgrade and/or buy any hardware anyways, so anything is welcome and appreciated!
The thermal testing on a console is a fresh and interesting content type IMHO.
AIB partner cards, while definitely impossible to acquire now, will provide additional information that I can always use to consider my next purchase or at least my recommendations when my friends and/or family ask on what to get for their next (and first) PC build should the stocks be available.
-Sincerely, a third-worlder.
Please cover the partner cards first, at least I have a slim chance of acquiring one in a few weeks. Consoles are getting scalped to hell in my region.
Cooler case reviews and different content please. Preferably a review on customer support for other brands.
Do you review monitors? If so could you do a "best monitor awards" like you did for cpus and cases?

I'd personally like a revisit of the mobo situation now that Zen 3 is out. Anyone else?
This... lots of interesting new/improved X570 boards being released like the ASRock Velocita and ASUS Dark Hero... sic them on Buildzoid :)
VRAM wise there is nothing to revisit, the VRMs on most of these 550s are more than enough even for an OC under load 5950X.

XFX loves their plastic. The other day I took some plastic parts off of an r9 280x xfx card and temps dropped 7-10 degrees.
yeah, should do that with my R9 290X DD 8GB
They learned their mistake from the RX 5000 series backlash but now totally regressed again with the 6000 series...
I also forgot to mention that they put a plastic film ontop of the heatsink cooling the other board components smh
@@CarbonPanther if just all motherboard vendors would drop all their stoopid plastic shrouds covering VRM's then I would be happy... and put good coolers on and not just alu vedges.
@@LiLBitsDK I blame the tempered glass craze for that. Before we turned our computers into garish aquarium replacements it didn't matter what the motherboard or other components looked like as long as they performed well. Heat sinks tended to have a lot of fins and were made to dissipate heat. Now they have been turned into decorations and function is relegated to third or fourth concern after such things as for instance cost.
Partner card reviews are always appreciated- personally I prefer review roundups (hence why I’m watching this video). Put all of the AIB cards in one video just briefly going over thermals, size, strengths and weaknesses of each is my preferred format!

Did they fix their memory cooling solution this time around? I haven’t seen any media on it yet
I really enjoyed the partner card reviews which led me to purchase a nitro 5700xt. Super helpful on picking out the “best for the money” cards. And I feel like it’s really making these companies care about performance rather than just looks (cough*plastic covers*cough).
That said, I’m sure I’ll enjoy whichever content you provide. Thank you and keep up the good work
Just my opinion, I'd like to see just a Group round up of the 6800 XT AIB Cards so you could devote more time to the 6900 XT AIB Cards! REALLY Interested to see how it compares to the 3090!
Also there have been so many new AIO's released over the last few months, love to see as many as you guys can fit into your Schedule!
Awesome work as Always Guys!! Cheers! 🍻👍😎
There will be no aib for the 6900 Xt, only reference model
@@guilhermedias8380 source please! 😁
@@guilhermedias8380 This is 100% wrong.
Wow! Nice to be early... just posted 13 seconds ago, love the good propper coverage.
While I really love your case testing methodology, I think that can wait for a while. If you have time, I'd like for you guys to do something like Hardware Unboxed's GPU scaling tests where you select a few CPUs at specific price points and compare how well they do with some GPUs at 1080P and 1440P, or 1440P and 4K. With the new CPUs and GPUs out, it's nice to get an update to reset people's expectations if they buy a new CPU or GPU but keep the other parts in their system, like how much benefit you'll get if you jump from a 5700 to a 6800 but still have a 3600.
At any rate, thanks for all the hard work, GN! Hopefully you all can enjoy the holidays!

Great content! Over the holidays I think you could afford to give the graphics cards a break. Not like anyone can buy them anyways. Mix it up and try something else! I'll watch whatever vids you guys put up regardless though :)
Sapphire has always been the eVGA of AMD cards for me. May not be top dog but the engineering is typically a little better (save for ASUS and their legendary PCBs). Thanks for the breakdown GN!
Looking forward to getting the Sapphire card when it becomes available.

I'm here for the other content now. I loved the video on memory over clocking, I saw someone else mention a revisit on motherboards for Zen 3. Maybe you could talk about how to figure out the best memory to pair for a motherboard and CPU? AIB reviews I just skip to the conclusion right now.

If you review AIB 6800 XT cards, just be sure to cover the extraordinary price gouging that's going on vs. MSRP for reference. I don't for a second believe that a slightly better cooler and likely negligible stock OC costs $100+.
The strix 6800XT AIO is $899 at Newegg. If you use the Android app and click on the item you briefly get a flash of the price before it loads the page FYI
Hope to see your review for the Merc soon! because DOUBLE RAGE MODE (rage mode bios via bios switch, then rage mode on the AMD driver.)
Can you please review the PHANTEKS EVOLV SHIFT 2 AIR?
I think you recently said you were thinking about reviewing the COOLER MASTER NR200 and this is a competitor to it (the Phanteks is $20 more)
Thanks!
The 2020 Disappointment PC is a must! We've all had enough GPU reviews, time for something you guys can have a bit of fun with.
As always, an amazing review. Now that amd has positioned it self at the end of graphic card. Can you make a video of how to stream or record your gameplays on AMD and how it affects performance against nvidia. I used to record my gameplays on nvidia and then upload them to RUclips. So, before move to amd, will be nice to know how to do it and how much performance is lost
Case reviews are cool and all, but I'd mostly like to see partner video card reviews and teardowns, and especially Buildzoid commented PCB quality.
I would really like to see coverage of the EVGA 3080 HC cards now.
I want to sleep therefore I watch these videos.
The Merc needed more X's to start leading the charts
Gamers Nexus, can you please make a more detailed video about the effect of frequency, rank, number of RAM modules and RAM delays (CL) with Zen 3 processors. Thanks!
And sub timing tuning please!
Wasn't this already tested?
4 single rank memory modules at 1:1 FCLK to memory speed is best (with lowest timings ofc)

I'd love full reviews of the 6800xt partner cards. A load of us plan to buy one as soon as they aren't vapourware and having your full benches to check would make a big difference.
Go check Hardware Unboxed. They test most of the AiBs
@@GewelReal yep. good to have multiple though.
Damn Sapphire does really solid work if only an strix card with a water cooler beats it. I just grabbed a 6800 today and I'm pleased with mine so far.
So nobody can buy 6800XT's but Tech Jesus has so many he loses them! 😂🙏
Is the gaming performance difference between PCI Express x8 and x16 still negligible with current hardware?

Hey, I have a question about safe or better yet optimal GPU memory temperatures.
I'm wondering at what temperature I should aim at keeping my card memory at, which will not degrade the memory staying at that temperature for a long time ( for days on end).
Thanks!
Steve, youre terrific thx
are there any hard mods you can do to remove limitiations on these cards?
also do the thermal testing on the xbox, im wondering if they did a good job (expecting good)
The Sapphire Radeon RX 6800 XT Nitro+, PowerColor's Red Devil and XFX Merc GPU's are requiring an "850 watt minimum" power supply. Nobody has mentioned the fact that these AIB's or 3rd party 6800 XT GPU's are requiring a minimum 850 watt power supply.
because its cap I use a 750 gold rated good quality power supply with my Merc 319 and its great
I think the Xbox Series X/S thermal and noise review would be interesting, given that you already did the PS5. Now I kinda want to see the comparison between them.
As for parter graphic card reviews, I would be more interested in the closer-to-MSRP ones (like the Pulse, Red Dragon, TUF, etc). And I think a wider coverage of models is more relevant in the upcoming mid and low tiers, where there's a bigger chance of AIBs pushing stinkers into the market (like the TUF and Strix 5700XT from Asus).
You know, I'd love to see a video or two about AMD and Intel builds you can actually put together right now ("last gen" is fine), and how they would do in current creation/gaming workflows. Maybe after Cyberpunk 2077 comes out? Would be a good benchmark title to show people they don't need current gen to work and play in today's climate. I guess the one stipulation would be that the prices can't exceed what you'd pay for current gen builds if the current gen build components were readily available.
In Australia, the difference in cost between the Sapphire and Asus LC is more than $500....yeah
Sapphire: $1269
Asus LC: $1799
RIP us
Spare a thought to your brothers across the ditch. We be getting gouged hard.
The sapphire Nitro is going for $1600 in NZ...
@@Maka8295 😳
@@RipJawsX95 I got sick of waiting for my rtx 3080. So I got a "cheap" 3090 ventus for $3200
Is this how expensive it is from their msrp, or is it scalped prices? Cause everything that’s better than a 3070 is over a grand 😂
The sapphire Nitro+ BIOS switch is hella clicky. That's nice to see (or hear) as well. But I'd like them to return to the push button design like they did on the Nitro+ Rx 480 (or maybe it was another card, can't quite remember. The colour of the button was orange ish and red ish).
I think prioritizing cooler and case reviews would be best considering the amount of data we have on existing GPUs. Generally speaking we can ballpark partner cards, and exact data can wait until there's actually stock to purchase with the gained knowledge.
Not only would coolers and cases be available, but it would be a nice break from the silicon saturation we've had recently. Console thermal testing would be a close second, and as always any "other" content you'd want to do would be welcome.
Hey Steve, any idea when the medium mod mats will be back in stock?
Hi Steve. (Bye steve, i'm going to bed)
@gamer nexus, great content as usual! I am just curious if you ever released your methodology on how you achieved those overlcocks on the XFX Merc 319? I have that same card and can't even get close to the 2700min-2800max mhz. I know every card is different but I was just curious if you could shed some insight - did you play with the bios switch on the physical card? I haven't tried that yet. Thanks!
I use timespy on a loop for stability testing mine. My merc 6800xt gets 10925 portroyal, 4000 speedway, 21585 timespy graphics score. Tune is core-min 500mhz core max 2725mhz voltage-980mv mem-2150mhz fast timings, max power slider with fans at 70%. Also, I had to use igor labs mpt to allow another 10% power to the core/board
I am really interested in the comparison between the XFX and the Powercolor cards, those are usually the higher-end AMD GPUs available here in Brazil. I'm still running an XFX RX480 GTR that buildzoid labeled the PCB as "Not shit" and so far, it was great card, especially for its price. Overclocked decently, great thermals, quiet card and the fans are easily replaceable not even requiring screws.
Is there any possibility for you guy to make a custom BIOS for the AMD card(s) to OC them further? or is it mainly a GPU limitation?
As a former ATi RAGE 128 Xpert owner I'm feeling weird to see a nice smol throwback being treated so harshly. But hell those "RAGE mode" edits are fun.
Would appreciate reviews of the XFX Merc and Sapphire Nitro+ cards since I'm ready to pull the trigger as soon as one arrives in my country
this was 10 months ago but I LOVE my Merc. I'm sure the Nitro+ is great too I just prefer the look of the XFX and it performs great and is silent
Please get in more case reviews, GN is like the only one who does them anymore, and you actually test them vs just saying whether its pretty or not and calling it a review
Dammit, Im watching this video, and testing my ram on what should be stable settings and your "take 2" sound @ 0:18 is the same sound my ram test (Karhu) makes when it finds an error and I had a mini heart attack that I was going to have to re-do all my timings
will you bios flash 6800xt with 6900xt bios when you can get that bios?
Guys ... the world is not ending because you can't buy a GPU. I've been trying since release of the 3080 to get one for a decent price, failing every time. It's frustrating with Cyberpunk coming on the 10th and the coming Christmas Holidays, I get it.
But GN reviewing cards is still a good thing. Once prices will normalize again (and seeing the 3060ti stock lasting, they might) we have all the information we need to buy just the model that is best/we need. I would rather have them show me which cards are good and which once are duds than complain about seeing something I can't buy right now.
I can't buy that car I see on Jay Leno's Garage either but it is still nice to watch :P
Have I missed a video or something? Why are all these cards being overclocked when they haven't even been reviewed at stock yet?
Hey Steve can you review the new Antec Dp502 Flux? It's a case I'm considering getting
I'm mostly interested in coverage of GPUs, even though I won't be buying any time soon.
It’s been a while, any chance you could post the reviews for these partner cards?
Thanks!:)
I presume that when it comes to AMD video card reviews, the Sapphire Nitro+ will most likely be one of the cards that gets its own review. Since, generally speaking, you don't usually get that much more premium quality than Sapphire. Like, I'm not saying that's the case or it will turn out to be the best of the best. But, going by reputation, that's the one that's the most likely to be targeted for purchase by people that want a really nice AMD card.
FRACTAL DESIGN MESHIFY 2 XL? You said during your regular MESHIFY 2 you WOULD be doing one on the XL case. You said during your "year end case roundup" that you HAVE the numbers for the XL, but we're gonna wait for the video on it. Please do the video.
Im tied between the rx 6800 xt sapphire nitro + se and the xfx speedster merc 319. The sapphire card looks cool with the silver and white along with the rgb but the xfx card is much cooler and more silent while looking more simplistic and being longer
Can I mount Asus strix in bottom of nr200p??? If its OK then the vertical mount and bottom rgb fan are looking dam good
Does Steve ever address the 1150mv voltage limit for these cards? Isn't that the real limitation on these GPUs? I feel like 2700-2800mhz would be totally achievable at 1.22v on the Strix.
We now know where all the 6800’s are at
CAn that Strix card be attached to another AIO radiator, or another resevoir, or is it a permanent/proprietary attachment?
I love the breath of the wild sound effects lol
Please can someone tell me how stable the drivers are for these cards. I had an rtx 3080 in my cart yesterday but didn't pull the trigger. Now I'm regretting it after seeing threads on reddit about flickers and black screens.
Isn't the Red Devil on this vid the Limited Ed vers ?, if it's the one from the earlier review vid it is, that one is dearer than the standard Red Devil and Red Dragon, I'm not sure on the clock speeds though as I can only find speed for the Limited ed, I wonder if the AIBs have all sent reviewers the top model they do, meaning we get reviews and scores only to find the cards we buy are slower, but won't know unless we benchmark them aswell.
I find it odd the community just accepts artificial OC limitations, there should be a riot
Probably any good amount over the cap is dangerous for the chip
Does anyone know ... do the registry powerplay tables still work for 6000 series?
Almost no video with overclocking RX 6800, they have it insignificant?
Sooooo.... Steve owns the whole stock of all subvendors? :D
Anyone notice the coordinates on the bottom of the ASUS card at 12:50?
I recently sold my RTX 3070 FHR card for nearly double what I paid for it to a miner and purchased the ROG STRIX 6800 liquid cooled for not a lot more cash... love this card!!
I've noticed a lot of AMD cards come with BIOS switches due to the fact that a Mac user will be more likely to buy said card if it has one. Since Apple only supports AMD (for now) it's common to see one BIOS setting work natively for Apple's hardware. For example, plug in an AMD card that's "Windows only", boot the Mac and the display won't show anything until the system in completely logged in. Not good considering that Apple's security File Vault requires a user to log in before graphics drivers are fully loaded. Use an AMD card with compatible Mac BIOS and the same Mac will start up and show the Apple logo as well as progress bars and login credential screen. Obviously, this is only for a very small userbase. But if you have a Mac Pro or Mac with eGPU... or hackintosh... being able to switch between a Windows BIOS and a Mac BIOS is a must.

Well probably won't clock as high, but will be faster. I feel it could be not as impressive as the 6800xt
Steve, I'm real greateful for those kinds of inside looks on OCing. But I find it very unsettling that you weren't able to get a vBios mod for any of the AMD'S cards tested like you did Nvidia, unlocking the power limit and voltage to max OC capabilities even on air. Will there never be a similar process for Navi cards? Should we be concerned that extreme overclocking is a no go with these cards?
Thank you, as always.
yes its a no go if you can‘t drag the sliders over 2800-2900
Tech Jesus be lookin kinda hot in the thumbnail tho
I'm not considering either console this year, but I'd like to know about xbox series x thermals since I know about PS5 thermals now.
Do you have to wait till December 8 to review the 6900 XT?
That is when the embargo lifts
Basically i noticed this. I had Red Devil 6800xt and the overclock of that card was hilarious not above 2430-2440 Mhz whatever i done. I sold it. I bought Sapphire Nitro+ SE 6800xt same story not above 2430-2440 Mhz. I sold it cause i was frustrated ....I bought an ASUS STRIX OC 6700xt well...that chip was a miracle. It was overclocked to 2850+ Mhz stable with undervolt. Conclusion those cards u have for your review should be top chips factory tested from companies before they sent them to you to review them (and NOT only you). (Influence the future buyers but its not your fault as i said..... its companies dirty game).... You see "SILICON LOTTERY" is not an option for us. Or it is?
