Review: ASRock Radeon RX 6800 XT Taichi X 16G OC

Conclusion

It is frustrating for the tech community to review products that we know aren't widely available in the market. Nowhere is that situation better exemplified than by PC graphics cards, particularly at the premium end of the market.

This is exactly where the ASRock Radeon RX 6800 XT Taichi X 16G OC plies its trade. We can only pass judgement on how well the company has implemented Big Navi from AMD because any value critiques are pointless.

To that point, we are pleased with how ASRock has gone about the task. This monstrous card is well-built, more attractive than you may think, runs with smooth RGB, and offers slightly higher framerates than the base MBA card.

It's vocally restrained in the standard Performance mode but practically silent in the Quiet BIOS option. As we like very little noise coming from our PCs we'd run it in the latter mode, no question.

Knowing there is reasonable scope for overclocking leaves us a little disappointed with the out-the-box card - especially given the cooler's prowess - so we'd encourage ASRock to push higher.

Other than that, we have little to criticise, so if you can find one in stock at anywhere near sane pricing levels, the advice would be to add to basket.
