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

    You’re probably right, I should maybe just buy a cheap one. I wondered if maybe some of them are known to use better components or have less coil whine but I don’t think anyone has checked this yet 😅
