Is the Asrock RX6900 XT Phantom Gaming 16GB OC any good?

The difference between the best and worst card in any series these days is usually less than 5%. Noise and thermals are the only real difference.

 

However, in this market, if you found a price you're happy with for a card you want, you shouldn't be picky. It's a sellers market. Who knows if a better card will materialize at that price?

 

However, since you already have a decent card, I wouldn't recommend overpaying unless you really need it. The crypto boom can't last forever, and it would suck to overpay by 50% only for the price to tank later this year, unless you have to upgrade now.

Saw a RX6900 come up for sale here:

Just wondering if it's any good compared to other cards on the market.

 

Thanks

It will perform as well as any other 6900XT card. Although there are differences between different brands (Sapphire, PowerColor, etc) most will perform more or less the same.

I believe it's one of the worst ones. I'd take the reference one over this one. It's actually suprisingly high quality and very quiet (I own one).

Otherwise, any Sapphire model, or the XFX 319 Merc are good choices.
