I think it looks great just that logo in the backplate is little off. Btw, nice review, good card.

I'm so glad they've stopped that stupid meme branding they used on their previous "large" cards....

Undying:

I agree. I love the look of the fans but the Merc writing on the backplate is terrible.

another review hit out of the park HH. i'm not a fan of the triple (or 2.7) slot design, but hey. this is an awesome card, and the aib premium still has it less than an aib 3080

jctl:

The XFX Radeon RX 6800 XT Speedster MERC 319 is priced 855,00 € in Portugal - price includes VAT (23%): https://www.pcdiga.com/placa-grafica-xfx-radeon-rx-6800-xt-speedster-merc319-black-gaming-16gb

E a nitro ainda é mais cara!! According to Hardware Unboxed there is a 150€ above MSRP imposed by AMD themselves... how is that making any sense? The card is worse than a 3080 why making it cost more when the reference one costs the MSRP?

Looks great. Hilbert is there an error on page 4 for all of the 6800XT reviews? The 6900XT is listed with 125 ROPS vs 128 ROPS for 6800XT? Lastly, when you have time, maybe next week, can you update the graphs to show all the different 6800XTs together for each game? I have to open multiple browser windows to compare them. Agree with your conclusion on price. Unless the PCB has significant engineering, I have no idea why we would pay so much more for an air cooler.

One thing I'd like to see in 3d-card reviews is an explanation for "custom PCB." It would be nice to see an explanation of what's different from reference--resistors, capacitors, circuits...? Things like "triple bioses"--I saw that somewhere in one review--can't recall where....
