Pros: - Shipped within a day, arrived within 3 - Very good performance out of the box and with a mild OC on top of that able to get very good performance out of this card - runs very cool, no thermal issues - solid build quality
Cons: - Fans get very loud at high speeds - I'm not a hug fan of the aesthetics - very thicc card, basically a triple slot design, ended up blocking 2 of my sata ports
Overall Review: - I would recommend this to anyone looking to game 1440p 60 ultra on current AAA SP titles and 144hz on AAA multiplayer titles at High settings. - Esports games (csgo, valorant, RL) easily hitting 1440p 144hz max settings - I am honestly suprised at how well this card performs, I was orignally looking for a 6800XT or 3080, but this was what I actually got ordered and delivered and I am not disapointed. The card is a beast, especially coming from a RX 480.
Pros: was a good chip
Cons: Broke in less than a yr
Overall Review: nope

Pros: -Play most AAA games on max settings with ease. -Pretty quiet card surprisingly considering the power of the card. -Sturdy and simple.
Cons: So far none. Will update if concerns arise.
Overall Review: Worth the money considering recent cards.
Pros: One of, if not, the best graphics card I've owned in the last 15 years. The price was right, and despite being a 3 year old card it's beyond capable with room for handling future AAA games with ease.
Cons: It's huge, but fit in my case alright could have better ray tracing support, but FSR 2.0 is a big step up and it is holding it's own for the most part. The software isn't the greatest, I have to mess with the scaling slider every time I wake the computer up from an extended rest, or else it doesn't fill the monitor.
Overall Review: Off the bat I'm going to preface by saying I came from a 6gb 1660ti Ventus OC and a very outdated 6th gen intel i5. I recently upgraded to a R5 5600 and this GPU. This thing has handled every single game I've thrown it at @ 1080p with max sliders, and often times raytracing with 100+fps. Cyberpunk with raytracing on medium + ultra settings is more like 70-80fps, but with it off it's more like 120-140. Forza 5 is running everything including ray tracing on ultra with 100-120fps at all times even under heavy load. The Last Of us Part 1 which was included with the card, runs AMAZING @1080p 60hz. Talking not even breaking 90% usage wiht every single thing cranked to the highest setting.
Pros: -great card -great price
Cons: - minor sag - had crashing issue but latest drivers fixed it
Overall Review: Didn't really need an upgrade since I had a 6700xt, but i was able to sell my old card to a friend in need at a low price making it worth the purchase and I cant complain. Also who doesnt want some rgb in there.
Pros: - 100+ fps in most games at 1440p highest settings - 16 GB RAM for upcoming games with demanding textures - Nice and quiet in my case
Cons: - May become obsolete sooner than other upper mid-range cards - Ray tracing isn't very good for 1440p, but that was known going in
Overall Review: I bought this on sale, and overall, I'm very happy with it. I know that if more games push ray tracing in the mid-term, this will need to have settings turned down to keep up at higher resolutions. 4k gaming at higher settings isn't really feasible with this, but I bought it for 1440p gaming, which it's excellent at!
Pros: - Great value at the sub-$550 price point - Runs cool and quiet in gaming with undervolt to 1000mV - Easily hits at least 60 FPS in native 2K on almost all the most demanding titles - Easily stays above 100 FPS in native 2K on less demanding games - Better value than the RTX 3070Ti at most discounted prices - Even beats the RTX 3080Ti on some titles in 2K - Twice the VRAM of the 3070Ti for futureproofing and/or 4K gaming if desired - Tuning the card in AMD's software is not too hard and provides a lot of useful options
Cons: - Underrated - Frequent stock issues early on as higher-end cards in this segment got more priority - Underwhelming Ray Tracing performance if that matters to you - Firmware update required to work with Gigabyte's RGB software - Gigabyte's GPU firmware updater not working for me, does not launch
Overall Review: Ah the RX 6800, a card which now rides into the sunset without much fanfare being overshadowed by its higher-end siblings, with newest generation GPUs having been announced or debuted, and stock of previous gen cards selling out once and for all. I've been blown away by the price to performance this card offers for 2K gaming at its final price point of $540 just before selling out. Priced between the RTX 3070 and RTX 3070Ti at MSRP and performing between the two at 2K resolution in some titles but better than the 3070Ti in a number of others, this card offers fantastic price to performance. It even matches or gets close to the 3080Ti's performance in some games at 2K. I've seen no issue maintaining at the very least 60 FPS in FF7R, FF14, and Monster Hunter: Rise so far at native 2K with graphics settings absolutely maxed. I anticipate years of maxed-out 2K gaming and even some potential 4K gaming on less demanding titles in the future with this card, as it has exceeded expectations in all aspects so far. I have been using a 750W PSU for years now, was uncertain about getting a 6800 XT due to the higher PSU requirement than the base 6800, and wanted good 2K performance without needing a card that would require an upgrade my PSU to higher wattage. After some research, I found this card fit the bill. Undervolted to 1000mV, the card doesn't often pull more than 150W while gaming and even left stock with the power limit increased 10%, I have yet to see it pull more than 235W which is still below AMD's board power spec of 250W. While undervolted, it pulls not much more power than my previous RX 580 did while delivering significantly more performance. It's amazing what this card pulls off. In my full ATX case, I am able to get good enough air flow to reduce the maximum fan speed to 65% on this triple-fan Gigabyte and still not see temperatures exceed 68C while gaming with an undervolt to 1000mV. The system is so much quieter now and it is less hot in my room compared to when I was using the RX 580 I upgraded from. I had originally placed high value on ray tracing performance, but the performance of the RTX 4080 and projected performance of the RX 7900 XT were both not impressive enough to sway me. I decided ray tracing is still too immature to really be a priority to me right now, and quickly purchased this 6800 just days before it would sell out for good. So far I love my RX 6800 and do not have any regrets about purchasing it. Assuming this card does not fail and lasts me for many years, I probably never will at this rate!
Pros: Functions properly under load.
Cons: Coil whine noise even at 60fps, higher the fps louder the whine. Cant hear it if have powerful fans. Tried different PSU similar result. Neither did it on rx 5700 xt.
Overall Review: Not a good time to get a new card that has coil whine noise. May try manufacturers warranty process.

Pros: It works well and doesnt lag that I have noticed
Cons: It has coil whine and it took a while to find out because the fans and headphones did a good job blocking the noise but it is annoying
Overall Review: Performance is very good but the coil whine runs the overall experience
