No, it's a RX 6600 XT. Since that card is built unreasonably large, I
put a NVIDIA 1080ti FE into the workstation which I thought is broken.
However, at least with nouveau drivers, the card works fine. Once I can
install NVIDIA drivers I'll see if it still works ...
They need to make AMD cards that aren't too large to fit ...
