Update on ASRock Radeon RX 6900 XT OC Edition

I installed my new video card yesterday, along with the required additional power cable (three 8-pin power cables). It launched just fine, but my 2nd monitor wasn't responding. So, I installed AMD's latest video drivers and bingo, 2nd monitor comes to life.

So now the acid test: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. I'm delighted to report that the Frame Rates are running between 100 and 125 FPS with the sim settings on "High End", meaning video details are increased.

My out-going GTX 1080 card really struggled with FS 2020 and could barely hit 30 FPS with details turned down. Also, the 1080 fans really cranked up (I could feel much heat coming out of the computer case). Not so with the new RX 6900 XT - the fans are real quiet.

So all in all, I'm really stoked with this upgrade and now butter-smooth sim performance!
