AMD to launch “Midnight Black” Radeon RX 6800 XT later today

It looks like AMD has a new version of its “Made by AMD” Radeon RX 6800 XT, an all-black model called the “Midnight Black” edition, which will reportedly launch through AMD’s web store at 6 am PST/ 2 PM BST later today. 

According to Videocardz, AMD has sent a notice to its Red Team members to warn them about the upcoming launch, increasing their chances of grabbing a new Radeon RX 6800 XT graphics card while stocks last. 

This new “Midnight Black” Edition of AMD’s Radeon RX 6800 XT will be the same as AMD’s existing reference/”Made By AMD” RX 6800 XT model in terms of performance, utilising the same 2.5-slot heatsink design with the only major aesthetic change being its utilisation of a mostly black colour scheme. This means that AMD’s RX 6800 XT will feature the same clock speeds, stream processor count, Infinity Cache size, and power limits as AMD’s existing models. 

At this time, it is unknown how many Midnight Black Edition Radeon RX 6800 XT graphics cards have been manufactured, or if this graphics card will be restocked after AMD’s sells all of their existing units.
