Radeon RX 6900 XT, here is Gigabyte's first custom

It's been a while since AMD unveiled its new Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards based on the RDNA 2 architecture and, while the RX 6800 and RX 6800 XT have already been marketed in several custom versions, we've seen the RX 6900 XT so far only in reference version. Apparently that is about to change, as Gigabyte just announced its first custom RX 6900 XT graphics card. Specifically we are talking about the Radeon RX 6900 XT Gaming OC, which the Taiwanese company indicates as a more "mainstream" proposal compared to the decidedly more extreme "Aorus Master" editions.

The card is equipped with a huge cooling system triple slot with dimensions of 286mm in length, 118mm in width and 58mm in thickness. Therefore, make sure you have enough space in your case before purchasing it. In addition, it will also be necessary to have a powerful power supply (at least 850W, according to the company's recommendations), given the presence of three 8-pin PCIe connectors. This configuration will allow you to push the GPU to the best and the card already comes with a boost clock of up to 2,285 MHz - 35MHz more than the reference.

Recall that the Radeon RX 6900 XT is the top of the range GPU from AMD at this time and offers 5,120 RDNA 2 cores spread across 80CU, accompanied by 16GB of GDDR6 memory operating at 16Gb / s on a 256-bit memory interface for a total bandwidth of 512GB / s. The board comes with controllable RGB LEDs, a backplate, dual BIOS (including a silent mode), two HDMI 2.1 and two DisplayPort 1.4a. Unfortunately, Gigabyte has not provided further information regarding the price and availability of the product at this time.
