Sapphire NITRO+ Radeon RX 6900 XT SE

Not good

Does not take up 3 slots as stated but 4 because of its support bracket.
(which is necessary, otherwise the card bends dangerously)

Besides, this support bracket is extremely badly designed:
- makes it very difficult to screw everything in place without crushing anything.
- shamefully eats up an extra slot with no hole to screw through a device that would be in slot 4.
- prevents the case from being covered, now there are 2 slots with a gaping hole behind the PC.
- if put at the end, the famous pad that slides into the middle fan and if I bring it back to where it touches the plastic I get so close to the edge that it doesn't carry anything.

The image on the LDLC site is misleading as far as the power supply is concerned, displayed as 2 PCIE*8, in reality you need 2 PCIE*8 + 1 PCIE*6.

When loaded under 3D mark QHD firestrike (free version) goes up to 80° for 19814 GPU point for a combined score of 17755 points.
(coupled with a 5800X which does 11232 CPU points, yes it sucks but air cooling).

AMF hardware video encoding in h264 or h265.
(works without consuming resources but the quality is disgusting compared to the price of the card, I tried to tune via ffmpeg but it's still unworthy).

The fans are not a model of silence but it's ok, there is no rattling but a slight hissing noise at 80°.
(even if it means condemning 4 slots I would have preferred real 8cm replaceable fans)

Full of light, futile.

In the box there is absolutely nothing else than the card, the square and some papers:
- the software is to be found on the internet.
- the famous 3pin RGBA sync cable with the motherboard is not provided....

The bios switch has 3 positions, by default in 1 it is the performance bios, in 2 the silence bios, in 3 an auto bios by strixx software.

It doesn't fit directly into my Enthoo Pro case, you have to switch it to bias.

Very good map

Excellent card considering the price/performance ratio. Bought as a replacement for a GTX 1080 and the performance is spot on. Whether in 1080p or 4K, no problem! (prefer 4K, the performance is there!) design and
RGB design.

The only downside is that the card heats up a lot and is a bit limited in performance. Fans are quite noisy too. WARNING: There is only one waterblock available for this card: A-SP6900XTSE-X (disassembled card = no warranty, at your own risk)

Conclusion: Overall a very good (and beautiful) card with good performance but would deserve better cooling. Even if at this price you can overlook the flaws.

A monster of power

This graphics card is just a powerhouse that combines beauty, power, robustness, and performance.

I can only advise you to buy it, it is now down to 1099€, I got it a bit more expensive but it is really an excellent card, it doesn't make any noise at all or almost at full load, 3 Bios positions of the card, in short a card to have.

It's not just the 6900 XT, but the Special Edition from Sapphire, an excellent brand that is unfortunately not very well known by the general public, but is at the same level as the biggest brands such as Asus, MSI and so on.

It's a very good card, but it's still a reasonable size.

The packaging is simple but we still have the bracket to hold the card horizontally which is very well made in metal effect allu.

You need 2x 8 pin PCie and 1x 6 pin PCie.

The little Strixx software from Sapphire is very simple and intuitive to run even more RGB lights on the card.

In conclusion, a card to have, without hesitation and for the price at which it is now, go for it!

I'm very pleased with the quality of the product and the price.

Day and night

Where to start....
- 1 :the 30% discounted price... (Very little in stock at that time .... My pot was forced to go smaller for the same price)
-2 :the card doesn't heat up at all
-3 : no lag in games (I went from a gtx 1060 to this....)
-4 : the rgb works well and looks good in my case
Why not 5 stars?
The triple power supply is a bit "too much", and for the price it would be nice to provide the ARGB connection cables as well as a more solid support bracket.
