PowerColor Quietly Outs Radeon RX 6900 XT Red Devil Ultimate | TechPowerUp
 
PowerColor quietly launched the Radeon RX 6900 XT Red Devil Ultimate graphics card. Not to be confused with the RX 6900 XT Red Devil Limited Edition, which is essentially an RX 6900 XT Red Devil with a few more accessories in the box; the new Red Devil Ultimate ships with higher factory-overclocked speeds. The default "OC" BIOS runs the card at 2235 MHz game clocks and 2425 MHz max boost frequency; compared to 2105 MHz game and 2340 MHz max boost frequency on the standard RX 6900 XT Red Devil. The silent BIOS of the Red Devil Ultimate runs it at 2135/2335 MHz, which is the same as the "OC" BIOS on the standard Red Devil.

HotHardware, which reviewed the card, reports that the Radeon RX 6900 XT Red Devil Ultimate is based on a higher bin of the "Navi 21" silicon. Our own sources tell us that this card is part of a new wave of RX 6900 XT custom-design graphics cards that AMD partners will be launching in the coming days, based on higher bins of the silicon, enabling both higher clocks on the tin, and better boost frequency sustainability.

Update 17:26 UTC: The Red Devil Ultimate is based on AMD's new Navi 21 XTXH GPU, which has the device ID 0x73AF, whereas all existing Navi 21 variants are 0x73BF. There's claims that XTXH is a special bin with better OC potential, lower leakage, etc. Whether that is true is unknown at this time, it's also unknown whether these cards come with truly increased OC adjustment limits in Wattman, or whether a special BIOS/driver is necessary. Next GPU-Z release will add proper detection for Navi 21 XTXH.
 
Of course I personally doubt you'll find one to buy. 

My local MC has had 10 of them in stock for the past 24hrs.  Priced at $2499.99, lol

Yikes! Imagine paying that much for a graphics chip that was supposed to launch at $999!

 
Right!?!  Also imagine other ways that money could be spent.  I would of bought one already if it was $999, $2499.99 I could never forgive myself

At $999 it was actually quite a good deal and I could see $1200-$1300 for an AIB card (not that I would pay that but I understand it), however, $2499.99 when on a store shelf? You’re outta your mind!

...and sadly there are people willing to pay the inflated price. 

Prices are stupid, advertising could be accused of false with no inventory to buy
