Neither. I agree with the host/presenter that I think $800 for a 6800XT is totally offensive when the MSRP of  a reference card is supposed to be $650.

🤔 Right, but like I said, ignoring the price, which one would you pick?

Ignoring the price, whichever one has the less cheesy RGB on it.

I have the PowerColor Red Devil 5700XT in my system, it's got a great cooler on it, and the card generally stays at or slightly above 2GHz on the core clock. 

But I turned off the RGB because the brand design looks like it appeals to 12 year olds. It's *so cheesy*

nitro looks much better

amd red devil is too purposely over built, too large/ heavy,

i mean doing too much to drop a few degree in temp which doesnt look proportion to its design
