Sapphire is (for me) THE AMD AIB.
high quality, decent prices. just great products.
but not just the fact that the 6900XT Nitro+ has aggressive and very low power limits (maxed out slider = 303W.. that's 30W less than a Merc 319)
and even with 30W less power consumption these cards run very Hot.
The Cooler is awful, very light and has barely any mounting pressure.
for example.
my 6900XT runs without any GPU Sag compensation in a meshify 2 at 95°C Hotspot with 2700RPM Fanspeed. (overclocked)
my Merc 319 runs at half the speed. at 335W, with higher clock speeds at 85°C Hotspot.
not just the cooler sucks. the GPU is so light and fragile that even after a teardown and very tight reinstallation of the cooler any kind of lifting at the end of the card results in a temperature drop of 5-6°C across the board (GPU Edge from 68 to 62, Hotspot from 95 to 90 and Memory from 64 to 58.)
if you bought a sapphire RDNA2 Graphics Card because you are in the same boat of knowing that they are the EVGA of AMD Cards.. forget it. their new coolers are awful, under dimensionized (is that a word?) and they are very loud for the awful cooling.
