XFX Readies Radeon RX 6900 XT Speedster Zero WB Liquid Cooled Graphics Card

btarunr · Aug 16, 2021

XFX put out a teaser picture of its upcoming Radeon RX 6900 XT Speedster Zero WB graphics card. Targeted at those with DIY liquid-cooling setups, the card comes with a factory-fitted full-coverage water-block. Sourced from EK Water Blocks, the solution appears to combine nickel-plated copper with an acrylic top that's studded with RGB lighting elements. This is combined with a metal backplate. The card appears to debut a new PCB not found on the air-cooled Speedster Merc 319 series cards. This board comes with three 8-pin PCIe power inputs, and likely a more robust power delivery setup. In all likelihood, the card features the "XTXH" variant of the Navi 21 silicon, designed to sustain 10% higher engine clocks than regular RX 6900 XT cards.

I am very much looking forward to this card! I am currently running an XFX RX 6900 XT Merc 319 Limited Edition card; with XTXH chip. It is a nice improvement over my AMD RX 6900 XT. I was looking to include it in my loop, but blocks for that card are very hard to find until I saw the tease of this card. Hopefully it is available soon in the EU!

Just wait for the block then give it a month and EK will launch it separately.

You are not serious. How is it any improvement? What is so different? I got a 6900XT Red Devil and the difference with Ultimate edition is barely noticeable. Slightly higher clocks and that is basically it. with your Merc and speedster Zero would be the same thing. If you have a good card you can match the clocks with the Zero and my case the Ultimate.

Have you tried pushing further?

Not really. I barely can switch on my computer now. Heh. It works great and there is no need to push it further I think. Maybe some day I will.
