Watch what this man has discovered about AMD 6900XT after running stress test

i like how at this point he is just pulling core and re-installing them like its nothing. he even does time lapse of this.

The more I learn, the more I realize I don't know. I may have to stop learning before I know nothing. Thanks for the Video-Man!

And here i was terrified re-doing the thermal past on my gtx 1080. This guy is ripping through it like a 80s action hero disarming a bomb!

It's about the many patients you were able to save. Not about the few where it didn't work. Absolutely brilliant work.❤

When I received my Reference 6800, the temperature delta was around 20-23c, which seemed rather high for the power usage. So I used a special phase changing thermal pad, PTM 7950, to close the gap. Afterwards, it sat closer to 10-15c delta, allowing my clocks to stay more consistent. Did the same thing with my 7900XT reference, and yielded similar results. Many of the cards are failing due to the cheaper thermal interface on the core. I always change my thermal compound with any card I get to improve their lifespans. Just because AMD or Nvidia states the cards can handle a certain threshold, does not mean we should test those limits. Keeping the card cooler, longer, will help you get the most from it. Just an FYI for anyone curious.

Back in the late 1990s and early 2000s hardware generally shipped with healthy margins (some exceptions existed of course like the Pentium III 1.13 GHz which had to be recalled). Nowadays all products seem to be pushed to within a percentage point of their performance limits in their stock configurations, pushed within degrees of the danger zone in thermal terms, and pushed within 10s of mV of 'absolute maximum ratings' under controller transients. They are marvels of optimization but they are also basically what we used to call 'heavily overclocked' products right from the factory. Oh, and the board partners are squeezed HARD on margins so they are pressed to shave pennies off the reference design so good luck everybody.

Man, reballing cores has become routine for you, like me, checking my oil in car.

I am really happy for the growth you got on this channel!! I remember when you were under 1000 subs. Now, you are killing it. Congrats!!

I really enjoy watching your videos. It's remarkable how much knowledge you have and how talented you are. I hope you keep posting. If my 1070 ever bites the dust, I know the first place I'm going to see about paying someone to rescue it. Thanks for the videos and helping us all to learn.

I really like the design of this card, simple yet aesthetic. Great content as always!!

if you're sensitive to disgusting noises DO NOT WATCH WITH HEADPHONES!

WTF, I was waiting for "But wait" and then a successful conclusion. Guess you cant win them all...

You are an artist!! Thank you for the video!!

I'm surprised you didn't just turn down the clock speed on the core to see if that helped, in the past i get those artifacts when pushing the chip to hard, probably just has some degredation to the core, a slight undervolt and downclock might of made it useable ?

While it’s unfortunate this occurred, I think it’s important to remember that there are flaws in any product mass produced. I’m not a fanboy, and I can only speak from a test group of 1, but my xfx Merc 319 AMD Radeon 6900 XT Limited Black has been running great since day 1, and sits overclocked at 2650 max 2550 min clock at all times. I do however run an undervolt as well. My old 5700 XT is still going strong in my living room PC. I upped the fan curve and power limit, and left everything else the same. My next GPU purchase decision will be based on frames per dollar, just as the last two have. I don’t care who makes it, I care about value. Just like cars, different revisions, even with the same name, can be good or bad, this is life. Don’t let yourself get drawn into the marketing. If the green team made a card with the same fps as the red for the same price, that’s the point I’d look at other competing features. Also a little research into your apps and games might reveal whether those features will ultimately be worth the cost or go under utilized. At the time ray tracing was not important or wide spread, so it wasn’t very heavy in the final decision. Best wishes and greatvideo. To all the team red and team green people: You don’t need to be loyal to a brand, however it never hurts investigating all your options before making an informed decision. While your opinion is valid or at least is a reflection of your experience/needs, others may have had different experiences and or needs. Simply chill and let others be chill.

a vram test was imposible? how do you know is the core without testing vram? i ask because i want to know

Sad to see such a powerful card dead, thx for sharing lost cases too.

WOW! You're badass! You're only the second person I have seen to be able to remove the cores from cards like that...That has to be a PITA!

RIP my GPU :C

How in the world did you learn about this stuff. I thought I was great with computers just from growing up using them, but this is on another level of technicality.
