You also get a card that is not going obsolete in 2-3 years time for lack of VRAM.

Mark this post, if I'm wrong I'll eat a shoe.

McAffe said he will eat his dongle, but he was wrong in many ways, now in prison he is fed by many of them. So... be careful what you promise!

XFX has meme tier names for their cards.

I remember having a 6800GS XXX Edition, now that was a great name!

Its means the PCB you reviewed is not what's available on the market , what's on the market uses less VRM rails, instead of tantalum capacitors it comes by aluminum capacitors, ... . attached is the PCB been reviewed and tested by Techpower, hardware unboxed, please compare it with what's on the market then tell us why you are unsure. the youtube video is just another proof that actual pcb is totally different from the review, you could easily see the aluminum capacitors on both cards.

Answer from XFX

The simple answer is that there are 2 model Merc 319 cards in the 6800 XT line. The Black Edition which you reviewed, and the Core Edition. Both are active SKU’s and being shipped. Only the overclocked Black Edition of the MERC 319 has the beefed up power delivery. The Core Edition is shipped at AMD’s reference speeds.
