Najee's Experience

The MSI Gaming Z Trio 6900xt is a great for a intermediate to advanced builder. The GPU's power to performance makes it great for most games well above 60fps at 4k. The GPU has great RGB lighting that is controlled by MSI's mystic light software. The fans begin to vibrate at rpms above 70% fan speed and makes an annoying grinding sound. This problem seems to go away after mounting the GPU on its side. The productivity on this card is ok at best. The bandwidth is not fast enough for professional workstation, but it's not bad either. The thermals are perfect on this card because of the large heatsink and fans. The GPU gets around 65c-70c at max load. A GPU temperature should sit around this range to have a longer lifespan. The downside of having a large cooler; the GPU is heavier and causes sagging. Fortunately the sag is negligable.

Overall the verdict of this graphics card has its positives and negatives.

Positives

  • Great cooling
  • does over 60fps in titles above 4K
  • Has RGB
  • Fans are mostly quiet at under 70% speed
  • Negatives

  • productivity is subpar for its price
  • Fans get loud after 70% fan speed unless vertcally mounted.
  • GPU can slightly sag if there isn't a stand.
  • Verdict

    I give the MSI Gaming Z Trio RX6900xt a 4/5. Stars
