I’m looking at buying a used reference RX 6800.

I notice there are quite a few brands for the reference model (ASUS, MSI, Sapphire, etc) and wondered if any of them use better components for example. I would quite like lower odds of having coil whine if it’s related.

Just to explain my choice of card:

  • Max 40mm thick
  • Supported by Ollama
  • No proprietary software when using linux
  • UnH1ng3d@lemmy.worldOPEnglish

    I agree the reference design is called that because the other manufacturers base their designs on it, but these cards are using exactly that design - without any changes.

    Sapphire

    MSI

    Gigabyte

    AMD
