I've heard of managers checking out people's cars when they're interviewing at a company. A cluttered car shows disorganization that carries over to work. I might be guilty of that as well as bad cable management, but luckily it seems like newer cases are implementing some nice features to make it easier to hide the mess.

About 6 x 6900's and 6-7 6800's at the local microcenter in the middle of the day. Prices were kinda crazy though, about $1049 for the 6800s and $1400ish for the 6900s. Zero 3xxx series nVidia cards for ETH miners
Wow they actually have some Red Devil's. Those are hard to come by.View attachment 328462

its not microcenter price gouging. Did you totally miss that all manufacturer the whole tariff thing when all manufacturers started increasing their price?
I am all with you. But bottom line it its not retailers gouging its the video card makers."Tariffs" ....Right.
What a load of bullshit.
? I was just saying why they last longer then Ampere cards. Powercolor 6900xt on newegg was available fore like an hour last time on newegg.
Its a beast of a card!!Received, installed, running:
Currently mining as well
Actually, I'm also calling BS on this whole tariff thing as the cause, versus pure greed due to demand, until someone shows data to support it. This reason quickly popped up as rumors all over the Net and has never been authenticated AFAIK. Media has never pointed to the specifics which would be under Section 301 and there's no matching HS code for importing video cards being affected."Tariffs" ....Right.
What a load of bullshit.
Yeah, someone said its not the video cards themselves but the components (capacitors ect.) that are under the tariff. If that were the case then laptops, TV's and pretty much everything else would be higher, and we don't see that. TV's are cheaper than ever.
You know what they say about video cards and big boxes don't you?
Me too. Now imagine when you install it in your computer...
I'd love to find a Nitro+ 6900XT but at current prices my 6800XT will have to do.
Yeah I'm really happy with my Nitro+. It has been rock solid. Plus it looks pretty good in my setup.
Same. I'm glad I ignored all the reviewers and just went with it. 6800XTs cost more at MSRP now than my 6900XT did. Still holding out hope for a power limit increase in the future so we can overclock higher.
I feel like I tried MPT with vega 64 and didn't have an y luck, maybe I should give it a go on the 6900
Yeah, I wasn't current on that but it seems like some people are getting 380 to 420 Watts now on their 6900xt's with it.
Im currently loading at 55c junction with 15% power limit so i have some thermal headroom
You're on a custom loop tho, so I'd definitely use MPT then. Not sure if a 2x 8-pin pcie setup (reference card, right?) can pull more than about 375w (150/each 8-pin + 75w x16 slot), but should give you some nice gains. If you give it a go, post the results in the 6800/6900 OC thread.
Other then grossly over priced at retail they are fine. The 3 models my MC has haven't budged all weekend. 1 model for $1820, $2100 and $2500..
Running a 6800 Nitro+ and it has been flawless since day one.
I had the opposite. I wanted a red devil 6800xt and settled for a msi 6900xt because they just happened to have it in stock when I checked in December. The 6900xt has been awesome.
