Output

AMD 6800 XT Reference is not a bad card, with an excellent build and average cooling system.

AMD has really gone a long way in the design and power of the card.

Despite the fact that the RX 6800 copes well with loads, the same cannot be said about the older brother XT.

The Bytwork team recommends AMD 6800 XT reference for purchase. However, if + – at the same price you find cards from vendors, then we advise you to consider them at the beginning, since they are most likely to be better suited to the cooling system for a card of the XT version.Hashrate :66 Mh / s EthashConsumption :300GPU temperature :74 °BPM temperature :68 °Memory temperature :59 °

AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT video card: hashrate – performance in mining other cryptocurrencies

AMD Sapphire RX 6800 XT is a representative of AMD’s RX 6000 family of video cards, which belongs to the category of professional devices of this series. In terms of performance and cost, it is second only to the flagship RX 6900 XT. The manufacturer announced the price of the new item was $ 649.

The RX 6800 XT was launched on November 18, 2020. However, due to insufficient production volumes, the video card was sold out on the same day, which led to a noticeable shortage of the model. With this in mind, the device was sold on some trading platforms with a mark-up of up to 100 percent.

The miners are especially interested in how many megahashes 6800 XT gives out on the air, since this is one of the fairly profitable cryptocurrencies for mining at the moment. In the article, we will consider the parameters and characteristics of the card, what is the hashrate of the 6800XT in mining, namely how many hashes it produces on the air and what is the card’s performance on other algorithms. 

AMD RX 6800 XT 16gb: hashrate and main characteristics of the card in mining

What is the difference between 6800XT, how many megahashes does it give out? For this, it is worth taking a closer look at the characteristics of the card. The video card has 72 computing units, GDDR6 memory up to 16 GB and a maximum frequency of 2250 MHz. According to users, the performance of the RX 6800 XT outperforms the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070 by an average of 10 percent. All this is enough for mining cryptocurrencies on any suitable algorithms. Like other top AMD GPUs, the RX 6800 XT delivers top-of-the-line mining performance for Ethereum, Ravencoin and Beam. These cryptocurrencies bring the maximum profit at current rates.

The card is equipped with 2×8 Pin connectors and consumes from 170 watts to 300 watts depending on overclocking, miner and algorithm.

Graphics card specifications:

• Memory – 16GB GDDR6 Generation 256-bit
• Core frequency – up to 2360 MHz (in boost)
• Consumption – 300W (nominal)
• Technical process – 7nm
• Noise level – from 40 dB

Of course, everyone is interested in the hashrate of the 6800 XT video card on air. So how many megahashes does the 6800 XT (6900XT hashrate) give? The card is capable of delivering 59 Mh / s on the Ethash algorithm in stock, while consumed – 235 Watts! When overclocked, the RX6800XT has a hash rate up to 64 MH / s.

Payback AMD Radeon RX 6800XT

We have analyzed the hashrate of AMD 6800XT based on different algorithms, and how soon will the investment in the equipment pay off? At a cost of a video card of 100,000 rubles, its payback will be approximately 310 days. Cost and ROI data are based on August 2021. You can calculate up-to-date information yourself by dividing the cost of the card by the profit from mining in rubles per day. 

How to increase hashrate 6800 XT by overclocking

The hashrate of 6800XT can be much higher than stated. It is better to overclock the GPU for mining with MSI Afterburner. The utility interface is very simple. To overclock the video card, we need two sliders:

• Core Clock – overclocking by the core, increases the core frequency;
• Memory Clock – memory overclocking, increases the memory frequency.

You need to change the frequency values ​​little by little. Then test the stability of the work. If all is well, then you can increase the frequency even more. If the video card starts to malfunction or the drivers crash, then just reduce the frequency and that’s it. There will be no harm. 

Optimized mining settings to increase the RX6800 XT hashrate: 

• Core frequency: 1400
• Voltage per core: 881 mv
• Memory frequency: 2150

As for other algorithms, on the RX 6800 XT, mining hashrate can achieve the following indicators: 

• CuckooCycle: 7.9 G / s
• KAWPOW: 28.6 MH / s
• Octopus: 36.5 MH / s
• ZHash: 88 Sol / s

For all of the above algorithms, the power consumption plus or minus one is 175 watts.

Conclusion

Considering the hashrate of the 6800 XT, the video card is very good at mining. It’s not a bad card, with a great build and average cooling system. AMD has really stepped forward in card power. However, despite the fact that the RX 6800 copes well with loads, the same cannot be said about the older brother XT.

We examined the features of the RX 6800 XT card: how many megahashes it produces on the air, the peculiarities of working with different algorithms and overclocking parameters. This information will help you effectively use the GPU for mining coins.
