XFX are an underrated manufacturer when it comes AMD graphics cards, and their imaginatively-titled Speedster SWFT 319 model is a solid package. It’s a triple-fan design with a solid backplate, zero RPM mode and dual BIOS support - a handy inclusion if you’d like to try your hand at flashing a faster BIOS.
Beyond these factors, the RX 6800 XT is a super solid card in terms of features. It has AV1 decoding, a more efficient tech that can boost the quality (or reduce the bandwidth requirements) of streaming video, and an HDMI 2.1 port that allows a one-cable connection to modern TVs and monitors at up to 4K 120Hz. AMD’s software stack has also seen big improvements recently to usability, so actually using and configuring the company’s many features for boosting frame-rates, streaming games or seeing performance metrics is easier than it’s historically been.
So: AMD’s RX 6000 platform is a strong one; the RX 6800 XT occupies a useful place between the RTX 3070 and RTX 3080 in terms of performance; this particular model is going for a good price ahead of both graphics card companies eventual next-gen models, expected later this year. If you’re in the market for a new GPU, do consider it - and stay tuned for more deals!
