A GPU you've never heard of - AMD Radeon Pro W6800

[@GearSeekers]

We have a whole video about video production with the W6800 coming. We didn't want this video to drag on for too long.

[@waynerm002]

As someone that doesn’t game, I’m more interested in how this works for content creation, video editing and photography. I picked up a Radeon VII and was really surprised how well it performed vs the 5700XT at video editing. I only saw game videos on the VII and for the price at the time, didn’t realize how much better the performance was. I was really considering a WS card but saw it on sale for $500 and once I got it and saw the improvements, I wanted another but sadly they were sold out. After that whenever the came back, they were selling for like $1500, right before they released the WS version. Looking forward to your video editing review on it, hopefully you will have some other WS cards to compare. Macs have always gotten these cards with more memory but content creation on PC also benefits from the extra memory. Want to see more of these, reasonably priced card for content creation.

[@benjammin0279]

More workstations benchmarks and hardware reviews please! Hard to find many reliable digestible reviews for these types of cards and hardware, I recently upgraded my workstation to a Quadro RTX4000 from a GTX980 for mostly CAD workloads involving modeling and rendering spatial data from 3D point clouds and registering 3D point cloud data (processing billions of 3D points) using programs such as Leica Cyclone and Bentley Microstation, would be interesting to see some more CAD focused benchmarks but im not sure what benchmarks are available for that sort of workload. Boss has asked me to spec up several more new workstations would be good to find the sweet spot and see some comparisons between these and the Quadro lineups.

Thank you for adding Linux content, as the other popular channels are sorely lacking there. As a Linux engineer, it's awesome seeing more prod related Linux content.

That pro GPU is probably cheaper than its gaming counterpart. And it's probably in stock too.

[@64BBernard]

A lot of these pro level GPUs are being used for research in Deep Learning, AI and in meteorological applications. As such, Nvidia has been supplying Titan cards for such research, but I haven't of any AMD pro level gpus being used.

[@alirobe]

Yeah, we use the AMD for CAD work, eg Solidworks. Cheap, does the trick nicely. Also they’re pretty heavily used in Mac ecosystem. They’re definitely not favoured in ML applications

I didn't know that AMD made workstation graphics cards. Good to know and thank you for the video. For the past week I've been in a meteorological workshop for numerical weather prediction modeling put on by UCAR, IBM, Nvidia, DOE and a couple of other organizations. One of the areas being worked is running a numerical weather prediction model on GPUs, so a card with 32GB of ram is very helpful.

[@Phalaxis83]

Fantastic video fams. Top quality benchmarks as always.

[@NipahAllDay]

Ngl, I should’ve brought this over the 6900 xt. Doesn’t look too bad on gaming while giving good productivity results. At the least, it would’ve justified me buying a gpu over 2000 bucks.

[@Femerenden]

When it was announced I was quite interested in this card. Not because I was ever going to use it but I was interested what AMD got to regarding workstation solutions. It seems to me that AMD is really proving to everyone that while they are not at the top yet, they are not that far behind either.

[@logikaone2711]

[@GlassonDesignStudio]

Nice work. Thanks for the review. I'm definitely interested in seeing more workstation product reviews especially under Linux. I'm curious as to how well this card would work in a video production environment using DaVinci Resolve under Linux. It would be great if you could do something along those lines. Keep up the good work.

[@bernds6587]

I agree. I am actually interested how it can really "shine" I saw a bunch of reviews of workstation cards, but they were just comparing renders and stuff. It'd be particular interesting if you compare that workstation card to the "regular" gaming cards on (like Glasson said) workloads which require a lot of Video Memory. ...Maybe I just want to see a 3090 suffer and feel bad :P

Good to see that it isn't overheating, considering the TDP and blower cooler. One more questions: AMD was advertising a viewport acceleration feature, does that work in Premiere or Resolve as well?

[@flagger2020]

Don't forget full size workstations have well designed airflow from multiple large fans in a heavy chassis that dampens much of the noise, making for a quieter experience than expected in an office environment.

So , essentiallty , this is just a 6800XT with double the Vram but with a lower power limit ... Its kinda neat that it is less than half the price than the cheapest 32gb Nvidia Quadro/Workstation class card in my country Im interested in AI and with a consumer level 16gb GPU, llama-2 7B fits neatly as it consumes ~13.5Gb but for 13B , I was dissapointed to find out that 24Gb is not enough, as it requieres between 26-27 Gb accoarding to several posts , it will run on a 24Gb but a lot slower than it should... I wonder if that performance hit is enough to make something like a 4090 slower than a w6800 32gb , which for AI , the AMD would be A LOT slower than the NVIDIA card if VRAM was not an issue... I wish workstation-class GPU reviesws also included AI benchmarks , because these GPUS are the only ones with high enough VRAM to be useful for AI ... I am also a gamer , so the gaming benchmarks are welcome , but consumer-grade GPUs max out at 24gb this generation, so a comparison between those and workstation gpus at AI workloads would be greatly appreciated

Hi there, I've read that a good CPU combo for this card is the R9 5950X, yet when a co-worker is using this machine with a heavy load, the performance is sub-par. Potentially the GPU is a bottleneck for the CPU performance. My question is, I've seen some charts that a better CPU combo for this card would be the R5 5600X outperforming the R9. How can this be? Are the 16 cores not supporting the GPU? How can 6 cores perform better with this card for motion graphics and simulations in blender? Thanks
