I've been literally waiting for an official update before purchasing a 6900XT (6800XT would make more sense considering the MSRP difference, but in actuality they are pretty much the same price). Any brand recommendations?
I think they are all basically the same. Sapphire and PowerColor are solid. I also give ASRock a thumbs up! My Vega 56 was basically plug and play, no problems.
If you have a dual boot system, you might want to think about the 6900 XTXH cards. If you game or like to tinker, you can really push these cards to the limit. The downside however, is that out of the box, the macOS doesn't support it, so it requires some additional work to spoof the drivers (you basically trick the macOS to think that the XTXH card is a regular XT card), and the benefits of the XTXH are not fully realized on the macOS side.
Edit -- I see that you have a X299 system. The XTXH spoof is a bit more complicated for these systems, so if you don't want to bother getting into the weeds with it, I would just get a regular XT card.
