Cons |
- It is very expensive, starting at $1199 USD and going up to $1899 USD for some models.
- It is very power-hungry, requiring a minimum of 750W PSU and drawing up to 320W on average.
- It is very large and heavy, requiring a spacious case and a sturdy motherboard.
- It is very scarce and hard to find due to high demand and low supply.
- It is too close in price but not in performance to the RTX 4090, making it less appealing for some users.
|
- Extremely expensive compared to the previous generation RX 6900 XT and the Nvidia Ada Lovelace cards
- Only a slight improvement in ray tracing and AI performance over the RX 6900 XT
- Requires a high-wattage power supply and may generate a lot of heat and noise
- Not widely available due to supply shortages and scalpers
