Combined with the 75W from the PCIe slot, power should be more than sufficient for normal operation. There are two 8-pin PEG connectors for power, rated for 150W each. We're not sure when those cards will be available for purchase, however. We've heard there will be RX 6900 XT cards from AMD's AIB partners (contrary to some earlier rumors), which makes sense as anyone making an RX 6800 XT could use the same design for RX 6900 XT. If that doesn't meet your needs, keep an eye out for third party cards. Like the RX 6800 cards, the 6900 XT includes a single HDMI 2.1, two DisplayPort 1.4, and one USB-C video output. Actually, if you're doing a smaller case, just save yourself some money and buy the 6800 XT - we'd bet once thermals level out, the two cards will perform nearly the same. You could potentially fit it into a smaller build, but we recommend exercising some caution as ejecting 300W (or more) or heat into a small case will hurt performance. It's a bit thicker, occupying 2.7 slots, but it's also about 2cm shorter. The RX 6900 XT is a dense graphics card, weighing slightly more than the RTX 3080 while sporting similar dimensions. It's a relatively large pad as well - not big enough to cover your entire desk, but much larger than a basic pad. It's a nice little extra if you need a mouse pad or AMD swag. Inside the main box, the RX 6900 XT comes wrapped in a mouse pad. The packaging isn't quite the same, however. The Radeon RX 6900 XT looks identical to the RX 6800 XT, except for the product label. Which isn't to say that there aren't differences in the silicon.

The RX 6900 XT has the full 80 CUs and 5120 shader cores that the Navi 21 GPU offers, and the remaining specs, including memory speed and TDP, are the same as the RX 6800 XT. There's really not much to say about the specs that we haven't already covered. In contrast, the RX 6900 XT has 10 percent more shader cores than the 6800 XT.

Finally, it increased the power target by 10 percent and often delivered superior performance in professional workloads.
It also has a wider memory bus and 20 percent more shader cores. First, RTX 3090 more than doubled the VRAM of the 3080. Undercutting the 3090 price is all well and good, but there are a couple of problems when comparing the GeForce RTX 30 to the Radeon RX 6800 XT and 6900 XT. You can see the full view of how performance stacks up in more recent reviews like the RTX 3080 Ti, but until prices reach something approaching normalcy, buying a latest generation graphics card remains a serious pain in the nether regions. We're refreshing this review with the latest details but keeping the original performance results. Our GPU pricing index looks at eBay prices for the various cards, and while the RX 6900 XT technically only costs 55% more than the MSRP, it's still a lot more than we'd recommend paying.

Even eight months after the official launch, the RX 6900 XT remains virtually impossible to find in stock, just like all of the other RX 6000 and RTX 30 series graphics cards. All of that is sort of a moot point, of course.
