Just a simple thank you would suffice.

In my weird way I was joking and complimenting you - old army coming out of me again - sorry was not meant to offend you at all - just yanking your chain and teasing with you.

Seriously- Thank you!

No worries.

Be glad that you didn't have to pay 2022 prices for your 6800XT ! They sold for about $1,200 in March of 2022.

Here's what the scalpers were asking back in the crazy GPU pricing days of 2021.

 

[MrMinimizer]

Good!
I absolutely agree with the crazy price inflation going on back then - I was able to win a lottery draw and got a EVGA 3080ti FTW at Lowe prices but still paid $1400 for it - but they were selling 2-3k ridiculously high

Again, thanks for the card lead info and the extra nudge to pursue it-

 

[MrMinimizer]

Check it out -
I just paid $885 - now it’s priced $944

Look at what this third party seller on Amazon is asking for the 6900XT version. Double the price doesn't = double the performance.

 

[MrMinimizer]

Wow - I’ll stick with the 6800xt for this price/performance ratio - and from what I gathered - the 6800xt mirrors the performance of my 3080Ti at half the cost - thanks for the suggestion again!

Oh forgot to mention: Regardless - these are hell of scores for a Mac!

Yeah, I like it. It even beats some threadrippers...

I have the RX6800XT MSI version. Works flawlessly. I beat render times in Blender (on Mac) of 3090 in Windows. And I think that the 4090 uses 700W power...

A question : did you use one set of 4 RAM sticks or 2 sets of 2 ?



Did you try this little utility ?

Rember

Yes I saw you had 128GB in 4 slots, but did you try the Rember utility (GUI for memtest) ? I did it and I have errors even if I making so heavy duty works on the computer (3D rendering for instance). I'll be curious if you have such errors on your side.
