AMD does not actually "lie" about the wattage. The power usage reported is only for the *GPU*. VRAM + other stuff is on top of that.

Nvidia gives (at least tries to) power usage for total board if I have understood correctly.

I have two NITRO+ AMD Radeon™ RX 6600 XT cards (11309-01-20G), testing now with NBMiner. After 2 hours no rejected/invalid shares so far.

Phoenix Miner 5.6d - Release build works also but gets lot of stale/invalid shares (for example during 11h46min 4314/460/155)

Driver 27.20.22023.1004 (non-whql-radeon-software-adrenalin-2020-21.8.1-win10-64bit-aug10)

This two card rig has total power from the wall about 210W. (85+ PSU, 230V)

Rig without cards consumes about 35W on idle desktop (Windows 10 Pro).

So total power per card is (210-35)/2 = 87.5W for ~ 32MHs on the wall with this PSU (Chieftec CTG-750C)

(GPU power is 64W & 62W, 64W card is getting hot air from the 62W card backplate, Gigabyte mATX board GA-A75M-UD2H)

(maybe a bit lower than 87.5W as CPU usage is a bit higher during mining vs. idle desktop)

Settings during this test so far with Afterburner:

GPU: 1330MHz
MEM: 2250MHz

No other tweaks tested yet.

Wow that's insane 🤯 finally a GPU from AMD that's on par with Nvidia, good bye to high power consumption from wall, can you tell me how you get this GPU and for what price each?
