GIGABYTE has just launched its first models of graphics cards based on the AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT, so we are facing custom graphics cards based on the most powerful configuration of AMD of its new RX 6900 XT. What are the different models of this GIGABYTE RX 6900 XTs like and how are they different?
The two GIGABYTE graphics card models based on the AMD Radeon RX 6900 Xt make use of a multiphase power supply, which is designed to prevent overheating and give a balanced load to each MOSFET and that they operate at a lower temperature. . It has inductors and capacitors made of highly durable materials fully certified as ULTRA DURABLE. As for the backplate of the card, it is made of metal, which prevents the PCB from being damaged and bending.
Also, if you register the cards on the GIGABYTE website they give you a 4-year warranty.
AMD RDNA 2 architecture
The GPU used in both graphics cards is the RX 6900 XT, based on AMD's RDNA 2 architecture, designed for 4K gaming and whose technical characteristics are summarized as follows:
- GPU with 80 Compute Units, 8 more than the RX 6800 XT and 16 more than the RX 6800.
- 16GB of 16Gbps GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus, 512GB / s of bandwidth.
- 128MB of Infinity Cache integrated into the GPU
- Dedicated hardware for Ray Tracing.
- Support for Variable Rate Shading
So it is a next-generation GPU with which you will not have performance problems with 99.9% of the games, in addition, all the GPUs based on the RX 6900 XT use triple PCI Express slot.

The AORUS MASTER RX 6900 XT graphics card has MAX-Covered cooling, which is composed of three fans with a single claw-shaped blade and that rotates alternately in the direction of the airflow to dissipate heat in a more efficient. The GIGABYTE AORUS MASTER RX 6900 XT has a dual BIOS with silent mode and all its components including the PCB where the GPU, VRAM, and other components are mounted, making use of highly durable materials.
Further. GIGABYTE has increased the heat dissipation area by placing a larger, seven-tube copper plate as a heatsink, which sits on top of the GPU and VRAM, rapidly dissipating the heat generated by both the GPU and VRAM. All this accompanied by Screen Cooling technology, which allows hot air to escape to the outside, improving heat dissipation.
Regarding RGB lighting, GIGABYTE has added a powerful LCD monitor to the side of its AORUS MASTER RX 6900 XT, which is the same as it has already added on the AORUS MASTERs based on the NVIDIA RTX 3000. This screen is fully configurable through the GIGABYTE software and can provide real-time information on the status of the card or if we prefer we can use it to show a simple image in GIF format or simply give us the time. Both the monitor and the RGB lighting use RGB Fusion 2.0 technology to configure their colors at all times.
GIGABYTE RX 6900 XT GAMING OC
The GIGABYTE RX 6900 XT uses GIGABYTE's own WINDFORCE 3X system for cooling. This system is based on three single blade fans, copper tube heatsinks, and 3D active fans that combine to dissipate the heat from the graphics card. The peculiarity of the WINDFORCE system with three fans is that the middle fan rotates in the opposite direction to the other two, in order to keep the GPU running at low temperatures.
Each of the three WINDFORCE fans make use of graphene lubricants, in order to double their lifespan while allowing for quiet operation.
As for the RGB lighting system, it lacks its sister's LCD screen, but it also makes use of GIGABYTE's RGB Fusion 2.0 technology and is also built with long-lasting materials.
