That's Great! How much did you get it for? Because they're averaging right around $1,800 up to $3,290! Again, what is going on ?!?! That's insane!

How do you like it so far? I personally love it. It's basically a 3090FE, it's been a long time since AMD has made competitive GPUs.

Did some more Octane X tests and theres a MASSIVE jump from the Radeon VII to the 6900XT. I think it just made Octane very workable with a single 6900XT. You can keep adding more RDNA2 GPUs to make it faster.

By the way, isn't it INSANE that just 7 months ago I was able to get 2 non-working (but still under warranty), Radeon VII cards for $550 (working cards $750), and now the same NON-WORKING cards are going for OVER $1,500 ?!?! Working ones are selling for up to $2,300+ each ?!?! What's up with that? WOW! - and I complained that I missed out in getting these cards 4 months prior for $450 to $475. Not complaining now!

Ha yeah, I sold my Radeon VII for $2000 USD (Originally got it for $600), got the 6900XT for $1600 + $250 for waterblock. So pretty much even.

These miners and scalpers are insane.

In Davinci Resolve we see a jump in performance
Just like the 3090fe in Windows 10

In Final Cut Pro, there is no improvement in any parameter
We are looking forward to a new Final Cut soon... maybe then we will see an improvement in performance for new GPU'S or Multi GPU'S

I'm not a 3d man
But it looks promising

I've got 2 of those and waiting for the EKWB to ship me the waterblocks they just released so I can put both of them in the system, hopping not to have the same sleep issue that I had with Radeon VII's.

Damn So I'm sitting on $4000? is VII that much better in mining then 6900XT?

Does anyone have a Highpoint NVMe card working in Big Sur with an ASUS X299 SAGE or SAGE/10G? If so, can you please send me your EFI or let me know what you did to get it working.

My 7101A-1 is only visible to the RAID manager if in Slot 2, but TB3 needs to go in Slot 2. Thank you!

Yeah Radeon VII is the best card on the market for miners because of the HBM2 memory. Sell it when you can.
