I. Foreword: The top non-public RX 6900 XT from the new AIB vendor
Today, I would like to talk to you about a new partner in the AIB graphics card brand circle - Vastarmor.
Many students may feel very unfamiliar with this name, but in fact, there is a lot of it.
Han Armor Graphics card is AMD's latest officially certified AIB (Certified Partner), which helps to improve AMD's AAA platform layout in China.
Han Jiao is the own brand product of Xinlianda Group, a sub-group of United University Holdings, and Xinlianda Group is an important strategic partner of AMD and has long cooperated closely with AMD.
Thanks to the strong strength of the parent company, Han Armor entered the list of AMD's core partners as soon as it was born, becoming one of the few AIB manufacturers, so it has the best guarantee regardless of product quality or supply.
Now, we are the first in the world to get two top models of Han Armor - Han Armor RX 6900 XT Super Alloy Edition and Han Armor RX 6900 XT Alloy Edition.
Today we focus on the Han Armor RX 6900 XT superalloy.
As the first flagship graphics card product of Han Armor, it can be described as unscrupulous in terms of stacking, using 16+ 3 phase circuits in power supply, which is one layer higher than the public version of 16 phases, and also uses a large number of expensive polymer tantalum capacitors.
Graphics card trim size 34.5x12.2x6.7cm, 90mm + 2x 100mm triple fan design, support zero decibel intelligent start-stop technology.
The cooling system of this heat dissipation system is very powerful, not only the temperature is much lower than the public version, but also the noise performance is also very good, which will be described in detail in the later evaluation.
GPU-Z detection shows that the base/acceleration frequency of Han armor 6900XT superalloy is as high as 2135MHz and 2365MHz, respectively, which is about 115MHz higher than the public version, and the TDP is 289W, higher than the public version of 255W.
The nominal parameters of the alloy version are exactly the same as those of the superalloy version, but according to our actual measurements, the frequency that can be achieved in the actual operation of the superalloy version is higher, and it can be connected to external water cooling.
Second, the picture appreciation: 3 fans 7 heat pipe + 19 phase full tantalum capacitor power supply
Box.
The dimensions of the Promethean RX 6900 XT superalloy graphics card are 34.5 x 12.2 x 6.7cm, with a standard 3-slot thickness.
There is a full-size metal backplane on the back.
The fan supports intelligent start-stop.

3 x DP 1.4 ports and 1 x HDMI 2.1 ports.
The large-scale heat dissipation system, in addition to three fans, there are seven 6mm pure copper nickel-plated heat pipes and a two-stage heat sink.
3 of the 7 heat pipes are shared by 2 heat sinks, and each heat sink also has 2 heat pipes.
Super public version power supply design, 16 + 3 power phase circuit.
Next to the GPU core are 8 Samsung GDDR6 video memory, the frequency is 16GHz, the single capacity is 2GB, and the 8 are 256Bit 16GB, and the video memory bandwidth reaches 512GB/s.
The capacitors in the power supply circuit are on the back of the PCB board, and all of them are tantalum capacitors.
There are 7 phases of power supply on the left side of the core.
There are 12 power phases on the right.

Super alloy version (left) and alloy version (right): The only difference in appearance is the color of the central fan, the former is red with breathing lighting effects.
Third, the theoretical performance test: the operating frequency up to 2450MHz The maximum fan speed is only 1200RPM
1、3DMark
In the 2K resolution 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme test, the Han Armor RX 6900 XT superalloy graphic score reached 28186 points, the core temperature was up to 69 °C, the core operating frequency was 2466Hz, the maximum fan speed was 1220RPM, and the maximum power consumption was 291W.
In the 4K resolution 3DMark Fire Strike Ultra test, the Han Armor RX 6900 XT super alloy graphic score reached 14013 points, the core temperature was up to 71 °C, the core operating frequency was 2459MHz, the maximum fan speed was 1220RPM, and the maximum power consumption was 292W.
2、3DMark Time Spy
In the 2K resolution 3DMark Time Spy test, the Han Armor RX 6900 XT superalloy graphic score reached 20446 points, the core temperature was up to 74 °C, the core operating frequency was 2356MHz, the maximum fan speed was 1281RPM, and the maximum power consumption was 290W.
In the 4K resolution 3DMark Time Spy Extreme test, the Han Armor RX 6900 XT superalloy graphic score reached 9916 points, the core temperature was up to 74 °C, the core operating frequency was 2338MHz, the maximum fan speed was 1217RPM, and the maximum power consumption was 291W.
Fourth, the game performance test: 2 ~ 3% stronger than the public version
1. Horizon: The Dawn of Zero
2. Tomb Raider: Shadow
3. Forza Motorsport: Horizon 5
4. Cyberpunk 2077
5. Borderlands 3
Fifth, temperature overclocking test: the grill only 60 degrees in half an hour After overclocking, the 3DMark graphic score exceeded 30,000
1. Roaster test
Furmark was used to test the RX 6900 XT superalloy on a roaster at a room temperature of 27 degrees.
Furmark's parameters are set to 1920*1440 resolution and 0AA. After half an hour of operation, the temperature of the RX 6900 XT superalloy is stable around 60 degrees, the Hot Spot temperature is 74 degrees, and the power consumption of the graphics card is stable at 288W.
2. Overclocking test
The RX 6900 XT superalloy has a base frequency of 2155MHz and an acceleration frequency of 2385MHz, which is 130MHz higher than the public version, and a TGP of up to 289W, which is 34W higher than the public version.
The piece of Han Armor RX 6900 XT we received can pull the maximum frequency to 2800MHz, the memory frequency can be pulled to 2100MHz (equivalent to 16800MHz), the power consumption can be pulled to 350W, the default voltage is 1.175V, and we have dropped it slightly to 1.15V.
After overclocking, the graphics score of RX 6900 XT superalloy in 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme is 30067, which is 1881 points higher at silent frequency, an increase of about 7%, and the maximum operating frequency is 2741MHz, the maximum power consumption is 346W, and the maximum temperature is 68 degrees.
6. Summary: A veritable top-level non-public A card
In terms of performance, the Han Armor RX 6900 XT superalloy continues to improve on the basis of the public version. In the case of TDP 34W higher and 130MHz higher frequency, its performance at 1080P and 2K resolution can be about 2% ahead of the public version, and the performance at 4K resolution is 3% stronger than that of the public version.
As for the temperature performance, we will run the FurMark roaster program at 289W power consumption of 289W, and the GPU core temperature is only 60 degrees, far lower than the public version of 79 degrees.
You know, its power consumption is 34W higher than the public version, which may see the strength of the Han Armor RX 6900 XT super alloy three-fan five heat pipe cooling system.
As for the noise, we conducted 4 rounds of 3DMark testing, and the fan speed of the Han Armor RX 6900 XT super alloy has been maintained at around 1200 RPM, and the game has not exceeded this number.
Not to mention the 10cm fan, even if it is a 12cm large fan on the CPU heatsink, it can be very quiet at this speed. How quiet the 10cm of the 1200RPM is, I believe everyone should be able to imagine it.
At the same time, the central fan is not only an eye-catching red tone, but also comes with a breathing light effect, which is more religious.
In terms of workmanship, Han Armor RX 6900 XT superalloy is the same as the public version, a large number of expensive tantalum capacitors are used, but the scale of its 16+ 3 power phase circuit design is far more than the public version of the 16 phase power supply design, and there is nothing to worry about in the material.
As for overclocking capabilities, the RX 6900 XT superalloy can also pull the acceleration frequency to 2.8GHz (the actual operating frequency can reach 2.72GHz), the video memory can be increased to 16.8GHz, and the 3DMark Fire Extreme running score after overclocking exceeds 30,000, which is 7% higher than the silent frequency and 10% higher than the public version.
The performance after overclocking should be comparable to the upcoming RX 6950 XT!
