What we like about ASRock Radeon RX 6800 XT Taichi X OC

  • Excellent 4K gaming performance that rivals the RTX 3080 in non-ray-traced titles
  • Large and powerful Taichi 3X cooling solution keeps temperatures very low
  • Dual BIOS feature allows users to switch between Performance and 'Quiet' (whisper-quiet) modes
  • High factory overclock and significant additional headroom for manual overclocking
  • Premium build quality with a robust 16-phase VRM and rigid metal backplate to prevent sagging
  • Extensive ARGB lighting with a physical hardware toggle switch for easy control
  • Includes a USB Type-C output, which is omitted by many competitors

What we don't like about ASRock Radeon RX 6800 XT Taichi X OC

  • Massive physical footprint (triple-slot, 330mm long) requires a very spacious case
  • Substantial price premium over the reference model that is difficult to justify for minor performance gains
  • High power requirements, necessitating three 8-pin PCIe connectors and at least an 800W PSU
  • Ray tracing performance lags significantly behind NVIDIA's RTX 30-series counterparts
  • Fan noise can be audible and higher than some rivals when using the default Performance BIOS
  • Aesthetic design (copper/brown accents) can be divisive and may not match all builds

Verdict

The ASRock Radeon RX 6800 XT Taichi X OC is a high-end graphics card built on the 7nm RDNA 2 architecture, featuring 4608 stream processors, 72 Ray Accelerators, and 16GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus. This factory-overclocked model boasts an aggressive boost clock of up to 2360 MHz and utilizes a massive 2.8-slot Taichi 3X cooling system with three striped axial fans and a reinforced metal frame for structural integrity. Main pros include its exceptional 4K gaming performance that rivals some higher-tier models, robust 16-phase VRM design for high overclocking headroom, and extensive ARGB lighting controllable via Polychrome SYNC. However, its significant power requirements—necessitating three 8-pin PCIe connectors and an 800W PSU—along with its massive 330mm length and premium price point, may limit compatibility with smaller cases and budgets.
