What we like about ASUS ROG Strix LC Radeon RX 6900 XT Gaming OC

  • Superior thermal performance with hybrid liquid cooling keeping temperatures significantly lower than air-cooled cards
  • Exceptional 4K and 1440p gaming performance, often outperforming the RTX 3090 in rasterisation tasks
  • Quiet operation, especially when using the 'Silent' BIOS mode
  • High overclocking headroom due to the robust AIO cooler and premium components
  • Premium build quality and aesthetics with extensive ARGB lighting and long 600mm tubes for easier mounting
  • Excellent stability and reliability during heavy stress testing and long gaming sessions

What we don't like about ASUS ROG Strix LC Radeon RX 6900 XT Gaming OC

  • High retail price compared to reference RX 6900 XT models, making it a niche enthusiast product
  • Noticeable coil whine/squeal reported by some users, which can be amplified by the cooler's design
  • Ray tracing performance lags behind equivalent Nvidia RTX series cards
  • High power consumption, requiring at least an 850W power supply and potentially hitting power limits when overclocking
  • Large physical footprint due to the 240mm radiator requirement, which may not fit in all PC cases
  • Occasional reports of software-related stuttering or instability in specific gaming titles

Verdict

The ASUS ROG Strix LC Radeon RX 6900 XT Gaming OC is a high-performance liquid-cooled graphics card featuring the AMD RDNA 2 architecture with 5,120 stream processors and 16GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit bus. Designed for extreme overclocking, it boasts a boost clock of up to 2525 MHz and a game clock of 2375 MHz, supported by a 240mm radiator and a full-coverage cold plate that cools both the GPU die and VRAM. Its main pros include exceptional thermal management that keeps load temperatures significantly lower than air-cooled variants, a relatively slim 2.2-slot design for better case compatibility, and premium Super Alloy Power II components for stable power delivery. However, notable cons include its high initial price point, the requirement for significant internal case space to mount the external radiator, and occasional reports of audible coil whine under heavy workloads.
