That's encouraging. Although, I'm not happy with the power draw of that GPU. I would _Not_ be able to afford the electric bill increase if I got that card. I am disabled and on a fixed budget. And electricity is quite expensive where I live. But, it's super encouraging to see how good the results are. Thank you, I really needed to see this information. Greetings from a remote village in Alaska.
Hello sir! Thank you for watching and commenting about the video :D! Personally I have limited my frequency to 2250Mhz on core (base spec of 6900XT without OC), this GPU has a boost clock of 2365 Mhz. When it's limited, my power consumption lowers from 275W to around 200W of power while gaming. I haven't tested the difference in an accurate way yet, but im still satisfied about the performance it gives me. I pretty much made the rx 6900XT into an RTX 4070 in terms of performance and Power consumption. This will be my next video! Stay tuned! Have a nice day,
@@RANDOMNATION907 Hello man, life's been really busy these past few weeks. I don't know when I will be able to post the video, but i want to share you the results. I limited the Frequency to AMD Spec at 2250MHz instead of 2494 MHz of stock Sapphire nitro card. Around 5% decrease in performance for 70W less power during gaming. From 245W -> 175W more or less. A 30% decrease in Power consumption. This performance puts it between the RTX 4070 and RX 7800XT in terms of raster performance. Overall in a year I'm saving around €40 with this configuration.
I use an external capture card over to my Laptop. Try searching on RU-vid best settings for AMD RX 7000 series on OBS. You might find some useful information.
@@ItsMeIvan- What capture card do you use? The settings shared by people on Google and YT for OBS just don't seem to be that good. Either the quality is mediocre (blocking/artifacting during motion) or it causes significant FPS loss. Maybe I got spoiled by nvenc with the 3070 :D
@@EestiGaming I use Mirabox Capture card, I bought it from Amazon for €35. It gets the job done for me. As far as I know Nvec is significantly better than what AMD offers. Nvidia is still better for content creation such as streaming and video editing, but for gaming AMD is good, unless you use Raytracing. :D
@@ItsMeIvan- I'll give it a go, thanks! And yeah, Nvidia is a better choice for streaming and workstation use but their pricing + lack of vram on more budget cards was why I switched over to a 7800XT in my gaming rig. Got the Powercolor Hellhound model for 542€. It's my first AMD card in a long while.
