Excellent GPU

I got this for my youngest, I'd got him a new 27" qhd monitor then realised the r9 290 would probably struggle to power this monitor. So I also got this during the Black Friday / Cyber Monday period so again this was a bit cheaper than it is now. Amazing value for money.
Good value

Got this for £340, which in the current market was excellent value.
Overclockers themselves are reliable and quick.
The card only performs a little worse than the 6700XT, and the Infinity Cache boost and the extra VRAM make it better than the 6650XT. It's also in a sweet-spot for energy efficiency, not being pushed that last 5%.
I'm enjoying it as an upgrade from a venerable RX 570 - it's giving me better frame rates and much lower power usage.
The model I received was definitely a Pulse.
Great price to performance along with great cooling

It might not be a pulse, but it's still an amazing card.
It is fast and efficient, I had a 6600XT Nitro+ previously which I have given to my mum as a gift and I was surprised by the performance difference between the 6600XT and the 6700. Depending on the game you can be 20% faster quite often and sometimes more.
The GPU always runs quiet around 1000rpm and peaks with a junction temperature (hotspot) of 85C while the edge peaks around 70C. The fans in my testing peak around 1300RPM which is still very quiet.
If you use applications like handbrake regularly you will see great performance. Comparing my 6700 to my old Vega 64 Nitro+ the 6700 is easily 70% faster in h.265 workloads along with superior quality at the same bit rate.
I can highly recommend this card to anyone, especially at the low price of £329.99 which has incredible price to performance and for budget shoppers you won' get any better for the money. At the time of purchase I paid £349.99, but the same day the price went down and Overclockers refunded me the difference once I contacted support which I was pleasantly surprised to see they responded within significantly under 24 hours and refunded the difference.
I couldn't recommend this card enough, it's outstanding!
