My sapphire vega 64 nitro+ just died on me after 5 years of use. Guess it's time to upgrade... I am planning to get a RX6800 or RX6800 XT. I know the community often recommends Sapphire but to be honest, I was never really satisfied with the Sapphire Vega. It war very hot and noisy and pretty unstable, even in windows where it would often green screen in the middle of a game with default settings... Also build quality was very plastic & shitty fans. So I would like to change brand.
It is for use in a pro music studio (not willing to spend 10k on a mac pro hahaha!) so fan noise is an important factor, with 4 screens, but also for the occasional gaming after sessions.
My system is running Big Sur on Opencore.
I have my eyes on the Powercolor Red Dragon 6800 XT which is going for 700 € on Amazon.fr
Seems like a good deal... I saw a few reviews on youtube and the consensus seems to be that Powercolor makes very good cards with good cooling and noise, and uses more metal for it's shouds than sapphire cards. Also no RGB on the red dragons model, which I prefer.
Has anyone tried this model? Is it stable?
And is it plug and play or will I need to re-install Mac OS?
