Who are good OEMs for AMD cards these days? Been thinking of getting a Radeon 6800.

Sapphire

Sapphire

And how much PSU would I need for a 6800? I currently have a Seasonic 650w 80+ Gold PSU but I also have 3 HDDs, 1 SSD and 5 120mm case fans along with the config in my signature.

I have no reason to think your current psu isnt enough

The 6800 recommends a 600w PSU. I think you'll be fine.

Great. I guess now I just need to wait for the GPUs to come in stock.

Sapphire & Powercolor, other than the regular Asus & MSI.

Someone told me that Sapphire has only two years warranty.

And how is Powercolor, I am kind of skeptical about them.

From what I know, better to avoid. Stick with the known brands.

Powercolor is the only one in stock on MD.

Prime also has Asus but it's 1 lakh+. Gigabyte one is listed as "Call for pricing".

If you cant find Sapphire, go for Asus. I wouldnt trust any other brand for AMD cards.

Powercolor makes good GPUs, no idea about warranty for either one.

in this situation where most gpus are out of stock,some rich kids are showing off their expensive 3080s and 3090s in rigs that look more like the interiors of durga puja pandals in kolkata during the festive season with all their gaudy lighting effects,rather than that of an actual computer's case on various groups on FB,which is kind of really annoying!

wish i had that kind of luxury!

I'm waiting since October 2020 for the prices to come down or the GPUs to come back in stock, it's been more than 3 months now and no sign of any improvement in both regards. I doubt prices will drop even after the GPUs come back in stock.

i wanted to buy a 3060 ti and had saved 40k for it-but when i went to buy i was staggered to see that they were selling for as much as 65-70k!

Smfh people out there are paying upto 70k for some triple fan 3070s. I don't hate rich people. I hate rich noobs.

Oh man, you missed that Gigabyte year end sale. Their Gaming OC version was for 45K and it went out of stock in few hours.

Powercolor and Sapphire are AMD only partners for GPUs and both carry 3-year warranty. Sapphire is a better option but that doesn't make Powercolor a bad choice.

I am gravitating more towards Asus, though I need to plan my finances before I take a decision to buy it. Might fallback on Sapphire.

You can try contacting gigabyte official rep on reddit, he is pretty helpful.
