I love how thorough a job you do with all the product testing. Makes this channel a 1 stop shop if you're looking for buying a product.
agreed, love this channel
It was a great video. I also think it is worth mentioning that if you are a heavy COD player, go with AMD, as that engine favors Radeon heavily.
I own an nvidia GPU and am quite happy with frame generation
I secured an overheating 3080 for $200, turns out the seller replaced the thermal pads incorrectly with the wrong size! Replaced the thermal pads and no longer overheating even while OCing it! LETS GOOOO!
🎉 nice find, enjoy!
I bought a used 3070 for about that price 6 months ago, defo a miner card, had thermal problem, turned out I just needed to re-paste it and it run like new. hit and miss with used, at least ebay has good buyer protection for those feeling adventurous.
@@dannydoyle8731 I went to a failed company's liquidity and they had this large inventory of processors to sell, I always pondered at the idea of melting processors for gold but abandoned the idea after remembering that they're not binned anymore.
A lot of "crypto bros" have been selling their assets after getting into something they don't understand, and I'm here for it. I snagged a few gpus from their lost venture.

So happy you started out this video with the 6650xt! Makes me very happy with my MERC!
This is the monthly video to watch for gamer who wants to upgrade his gears! And, as always, your analysis is always spot on. Thanks again!
there is nobody else on youtube who will guide us through buying a GPU in this exclusive manner. Thank you fo your hard work. Very valuable information.
7900gre is pretty decent, been playing on one for two days. Definitely worth the price for performance.
I agree, I've been recommending it to anyone in the current price range. It performs well in both rasterized and ray tracing games and the value is there especially compared to the things around it
Have you tried an OC yet?
The only GPU in the entire 70 series AMD/40 series Nvidia that is memorable, worth using and amazing value. We have 3 in the house and it plays better than the synthetic benches said it would. It will be as memorable as the 1080Ti was. Our oldest son said "Nvidia is somebody we used to know." I fully agree.
@@JBrinx18 yeah, it does pretty good oc'ed but I undervolt and leave clocks stock and it still kicks azz.

Great video. Helped me a lot. Thank you!
My ass that scored a Sapphire Nitro + 7900 xtx for 800$ really feel lucky at this point.

Very good information and very sound reasoning and recommendations!
P.S. Don't quit your day job ever for youtube, micromanage both please, I don't want hard times befalling on your awesome family.
The video he made on that topic he said he wouldn't, and this is for now a passion / hobby for him, the benefits are just a bonus! :)

I'm envious of the versatility he has in his career. A nice, stable teaching job, plus CZcams for investing on potential upside. Seems nice from the outside. I just worry that he's overworked, but hopefully the channel gets big enough that he feels comfortable hiring an editor, then it should be a lot better.
Thank you Mr Owen! 🙏
I agree with your takes on the market
Went with RX 7900 XT, been great so far
Same
Which one you bought? I've heard an alarming amount of people complaining about constant crashes. I'd love to have AMD but after owning RX 5700XT which crashes like every 45min-80mins aint no way I am buying another card thats going to crash again.

Hey man I wanted to ask you: What are your thoughts on windows 10 ESU? Would you recommend switching to linux or going with windows 11?
Just picked up a 7900 XT 👍 It was a close call between the 7900 GRE but figured I'll wajt the little boost in the evental event I upgrade to an UW QHD monitor. Can't wait to try it out this weekend.

Thanks for making me feel good about upgrading from a 4070 to a 4070ti super this week! Contemplated a 4080 but it would have been 35-40% including a more powerful gpu. Got fab deal on an open box 4070ti super.
I’m glad I got the 4080S @msrp back in February. Blessing to have a Microcenter that is just 30 mins away.
Best card I’ve owned.
One of the biggest things which separates the 4080 and 4080 Super from the 4070 ti Super is the L2 cache capacity (48MB vs. 64MB). You can see in benchmarks that the 4070 ti Super doesn't perform as well per CUDA core as you might expect, relative to the 4080 and 4080 Super, and in most cases, the best explanation for this discrepency is the fact that the 4070 ti Super has a 25% smaller L2 Cache. The GPU die is actually the same, but 25% of the L2 cache is not active on the 4070 ti Super, and obviously fewer CUDA cores are active as well. Many reviewers didn't mention that this was a likely explanation, but I have definitely heard that the L2 cache is a very important feature with the 4000 series in general, and that the larger L2 cache of the 4090 is a big part of what makes it perform better in a lot of games vs. the 4080, so it stands to reason that the larger L2 cache used in the 4080 and 4080 Super explain the somewhat larger gap in performance between them and the 4070 ti Super than what many people were expecting. If it's not the L2 cache capacity, then what else could it be? Obviously the difference in CUDA cores also affects performance, but the difference in CUDA cores between these GPUs by themselves just don't explain the performance discrepencies between these different graphics cards in a lot of games.
All of these cards are rather expensive, especially considering that both AMD and Nvidia are going to be releasing new generation cards in less than a year, with new 5000 series cards coming out in about 6 months. They're definitely not terrible products for the price either though, so if you have a lot of money to spare, there's nothing much bad you can say about them aside from them being kinda expensive. It's not like they're horribly over-priced or anything (though actual prices at retail can still potentially be really bad, especially in some regions).
Good info
Hi i want to ask is it still good to buy rx 6700xt ?? Or should i buy something different for 1080p gaming ??
At this point, still going with the GRE for my build. We'll see what happens between now and May, though.
I just got an ASUS DUAL OC 4060 for 300€ on sale and am very happy with that purchase (upgrading from a 5600XT). Energy prices are still really high where I live and 115W vs 250W from a 6750 XT does make quite the difference! On top of that it allows me to keep all my old components without having to upgrade.
What do u think about ryzen 5 + rtx 4060 ? my current pc is from 2017 using 1050 ti with i5, i just need a 1080p 60 fps gaming and thats it.
Hi Daniel. I like your content. Spanish viewer here. Well, I have to adress, I kind of miss mention to await until RDNA 4 or RTX 5000 Blackwell series. That would be a great advise when talking about a 4070Ti Super, that here in EU region costs a crazy 900€... super, yes, but SUPER BAD
Great summary. Just bought a new GPU this month and I was choosing between a 4070 super and a 7900 GRE, after looking at several retailers in my counter I managed to get a Zotac 4070 super twin edge OC for USD 617 while the cheapest 7900 GRE I could find cost about USD 712 mind you here in my country you can barely buy GPU at MSRP.
The most slept on card is always gonna be the 6800, even though there's no reason why. On top of the usual performance you can undervolt it to some pretty good results (185w for me, no performance hit) and then make another profile for overclocking it to be a fake 6800xt stock with not much more watts than the 6800 uses out the box. Its a great card and I feel so validated whenever it keeps surviving these list.
Did you see Asus makes a 4070 ti super tuf gpu that's not OC and is $50 cheaper than the oc version ? what are you thoughts on that situation ? I thought my card had dropped $50 in value until the best buy associate pointed out it was different lol
People are being realistic at $200 price instead of buying into the over inflated hype and honestly that's amazing to hear!
Realistic at that point would be to buy a console
@@bocadog3 It depends on what type of games you play. A lot of older cards are still great. Most new triple A games don't really bring anything more than just graphics which are questionable for the price / performance.
It's not really an argument for consoles, since PC has the largest library and backward compatibility. FOMO is a thing, but for a majority of people's financial situations its understandable why people are not spending $1000s+ on Gpus.
Great video! I am planning a 4070ti super build, but I am considering playing in 1440p ultrawide, and having the option to use my 4K tv sometimes. Do you recommend moving up to a 4080 super for this?
If you're going to be playing at 4K then sure. You'll still have to run upscaling with any kind of RT but no RT snd you can get 60FPS native with the 4080S.
I'm pretty excited to get a little bit closer to 50 series and 8000 series releases and push used prices down even further. Quite a few deals out there floating around already but I am frugal lol
Like some others here have said, anymore your my first stop for gpu tests, reviews, and buying recommendations. I dont really need to go to any other channel other than Tech Yes City for used deals and market stuff.
Bought 7900xtx with 7800x3d. Want raw power. Everything including VR looks amazing.
Dlss quality on a 27 inch 1440p display has higher pixel density than a 42 inch 4k display. I love your content. Idk if you’ve ever touched on that before but just saying in general 4k vs 1440p, screen size plays as big of a part.
I just got a 4080 Super and I love it. Really powerful.
I currently have a Sapphire Nitro+ RX 5700 XT (8 GB) that I bought back in 2019. I'm currently saving up and thinking about getting the RX 7900 XT.
While I was thinking of getting the RX 7900 XTX, I'll save some money by just going with the XT. That should be perfectly fine for me for a while until the RDNA 5 cards come out (probably in 2025). I don't do 4K gaming and mainly play 1440p so I don't need the top model and I've avoid anything Nvidia because I'm not dealing with that 12 pin connector bs.
Note: While I don't have a 7900 XT yet, I'll most likely get one by the end of the month to early next month.
For those that might ask why I didn't upgrade it sooner, well, I was saving up to upgrade the REST of my system. Since 2016, I've been using an i7 4790K. I only JUST recently in March 2024 upgraded that to a Ryzen 5950X with 64 GB of DDR4 (3600 MHz). I didn't go Ryzen 7000 because I didn't want to spend the extra $500 to 600 more (when you factor in all parts cost more and I want a motherboard with SPECIFIC things and no, not going into detail). I figure a 5950X paired up with a 7900 XT will do me fine for a while.
I will say, many games I struggle with, including having massive stuttering on my 4790K doesn't happen on my 5950x.
Since you brought up the used market, could you put some older gen options in context with new offerings? For example, given the price ranges you mentioned, at what price is it worth buying a 3070 ti for? Or a 3090 for example? Compared to something in their price range as new, like some AMD cards or maybe the 4060 ti or something. Thank you
I'm looking to get heavy into the game Pax Dei. UE5 game that is heavy with nature type visual effects and lighting. So far, it plays best on NVIDIA, as AMD seems to cause some artifacts. although sounds like they want to get that fixed. Now, they are suppose to support both DLSS and AMD's version.
so... what would you recommend if I'm willing to look at going up to $600ish? Should I look around for a 4070 or 4070 super? Should I just go with AMD 7800 XT? or should I save my money for now, do a 4060 at $300 with the plans to upgrade again in a year or two?
I got a 7800XT for $430 and am very happy with it. FSR 3 is also a huge improvement over the previous generations. The only complaint I have about the 7800 xt is how power hungry it is.
Can you include in your future videos gpus for 3440*1440?
7900xtx is really good for the price.
Im getting my 4070 Super tomorrow! Thanks!
Thr market is getting real competitive
Radeon has advantages in linux and a bit better framerates from what i have found anyways and raytracing in linux isnt that good yet so under a 4080 it is a bit slow in 4k
Hey, can you make test for 4060ti 8gb vs 16gb while DLSS 3 and FG is on?
I'm headed to my Microcenter to get a 7900 GRE for my 7700X system. I was going to get a 7800 XT but they're the same price.
Bought a sapphire pulse 7900 GRE, best purchase i've ever done tbh
Here in italy the 7900 gre costs 570 and the 4070 super 600-650 while the ti super is 800+, bought a 4070 super and very very happy with the performance (2x coming from a 2070 super) but now am cpu bottlenecked hahaha
i have a 3060 ti, there is a 3090 oc in my area for 600 dollars, i checked it out and it is in really good condition, should i get it? I'm looking to upgrade my gpu*
Used market for me lol, can grab a 4070 super for like £500 which is really reasonable imo. I think I'll wait unitl the 50 series comes out before I build a new rig though. I've got 3070 laptop which is working okay ish lol
Just when I was getting ready to finally upgrade to a 2080 Ti... geez!
I just did and love it!
I love mine for $300
If you have a microcenter near you it's worth checking out the cert refurb 4070. I lucked out and got the Asus tuff OC for 400$
Crazy how different prices are in EU, the 7900 XTX is usually around 250-300 euros cheaper than the 4080 which makes it the better value, while in the US the difference in price is not that much which makes the 4080 usually the better choice
Currently the cheapest models are sold at 980€ for the 7900XTX and 1140€ for the 4080 in my country. It also doesn't help that the only viable way to get a gpu is through Amazon as far as I know.
Same in Scotland. I paid £480 for my 7900GRE, it came with 2 game coupons for steam worth £85 and is amazing. Yet all Nvidia GPUs are 20%-50% higher than the USA market as the 7900GRE is below MSRP and the 4070 super is going for £550 USED up to £700 new and the 4080 is going for £1050-£1200 but in the US market that would equal $1300-$1500 US dollars. Crazy shit
@@fuzzylumpkins6034I’m in the uk too looking for a gre. Where did you u find that deal?
The 4080 is a better choice either way, this is just AMD famboy cope.
@@Wobbothe3rd U think that rt and slightly better upscaling but with less normal performance is worth €250 more?
The physical hardware specs of the Arc A770 16GB for $300 is the best bang for the buck, but the drivers still aren't mature enough just yet. I'm sure they'll get there. In the meantime, the latest driver update broke my Halo Infinite when trying to match into a multiplayer game, constantly telling me, "The request to join has timed out..." just as the map loading reaches 100% and never even gets to "Other players loading." I do not have this issue on my PCs with an RX 6950 XT, or the RTX 4070. I bought the RX 6950 XT for $650 and is MY original best bang for the buck, when you consider the 12GB RTX 4070 was $600 when it came out. And, I don't have to worry about melting power connectors on any of these cards.
I don't do 4K or ray-tracing in gaming, because they're both useless on a 32", 165 Hz, 1440p gaming monitor, and I don't care for it as a pure gamer who only wants smooth gaming.
Battlemage will tell us if the ARC stops being a nerds paradise and starts being a plug and play competitor. I used a 770 in a back up pc and got absolutely sick of having to tune and change settings every single time I changed games. There are no amount of savings worth that headache.
@@fuzzylumpkins6034Yep. I'm in contact with an Intel rep on the gaming issues I've been having with this card. It's still a great card for everything else non-gaming though. LOL!!
I just picked one up at 280. It works for everything I've tried so far, but I don't play much. I figured it was worth it for the potential.
Edit: should I mention that I just upgraded from a first gen i7 with an hd400 😅
@@kittywampus1st Gen i7, how long were you using that cpu? U joshing us. Alchemist Arc gpus are a good option for nerds who want to tinker and learn new things. Battlemage may appeal to the masses more. I've had fun hacking Arc cards and Intel is providing good support. I believe Intel will be competing with Nvidia flagship gpus in a few years.
for about 300$ u can get a RTX 2080Ti 11GB and it has about 30% more performance and with a bit OC even more than a RTX 3070
Can i get an 3070 ti in 2024? Is it better performing than 4060 or atleast similar to 4070?

@@redbraisedjun1630 so cool. Perfect for gaming. Only drawback is path tracing. But ray tracing is pretty good

Only if you're getting the XLR8 model, the budget Verto is trash.
People turn on RT to trade frames for look, but also turn on up scaling to trade look for frame😅
Is it safe to put an AMD cpu with a Nvidia GPU ? or mixing is bad ?
This is where it starts getting confusing for me...I'm looking at specs for the 7800xt which has 2254MHz/2565MHz boost clock & 19.5Gb/s memory speed compared with the 7900GRE at 1927MHz/2366MHz boost clock & only 18Gb/s memory speed. Both Have 16GB of VRAM. So how does the 7900GRE perform better than the 7800XT with lower specs?? This is the sort of thing that makes buying a new GPU so confusing to less than PRO builders/upgraders. I currently run a RX6750XT GPU with a Ryzen 7 7700X CPU & am thinking of an upgrade but dont know if I will benefit much from a 7800XT. It has a bit more VRAM & memory interface speed so does that make up for the lesser MHz & Memory speed?
just bought a 3060 12gb Asus Dual OC for 250 dollars usd with a 2 year warranty. I am loving it while playing rdr2 on 4k 80 fps on HUB settings.
I got a used 1080 ti a few days ago for 230 it's a great gpu
I was interested in getting the Acer BiFrost Predator 7900 GRE but noticed that it’s advertised as a PCIE 4.0x8 card instead of 4.0x16
Right now I have the Red Devil LE 7800 XT which is a 4.0x16 card. Before that, I had an Asus TUF RTX 3070Ti which I think was also x16.
Is there a significant difference in gaming and casual workloads between the two types? Could I install the x8 card on an x16 slot? Is it worth swapping my card?
In short, you won't know ur on x8 vs x16. Is it worth the swap?, IMO save the money and wait and see what around the corner.
After much deliberation, I ordered a 4070 Super, which I think fits my purposes. I want to run all my GPU-hungry applications smoothly, and play games in 1400p and good-enough settings, with enough wiggle room to get me a few years of service.
As much as DLSS may be better than FSR, since Radeons can also use Intel XeSS, maybe you should take that into account as well.
I bought 1 month used 7900xtx for ~900$. For reference 4080 super MSRP here(India) is ~1250$ and new 7900 xtx is 1150-1250$. I play only call of duty warzone, so I guess I got a sweet deal.
If I buy a GPU I'm going to get an RX 7900 GRE and pump the memory a bit, unless I can manage to wait for the 8000 series.
I was really thinking about upgrading to an RX 7800 XT or the GRE from my new rx 7600. Those cards are around my budget and I've been looking to upgrade but instead I just bought a Lenovo legion go pro z1 extreme handheld lol which is beyond my budget. Still, my rx 7600 is doing just fine, especially with frame gen. no complaints at all. 2k high fsr2 balance above 220 frames in the finals and that's all I play anyways.
No need to upgrade then? Sounds like you're good for a while
What about a 3090 over a 4070 ti? its much cheaper on the used market tho
I was gonna buy a 4080 super because they were on sale but as soon as my check hit the sale ended lol, the 7900 xtx was still on sale (50 dollars off) so i went the 7900 xtx Red Devil, No regrets :).
Can anyone help me i got in my country 7900 gre and 7800 xt at same price but 200€ more than 7700 xt that is 500€, is it worth it for gaming and starting game development in ue5
Horizon Forbidden West at 4k is so glorious, and that game doesn't need to forced us RT to achieve that.
Yep. Alan Wake 2 does the same. Cyberpunk is sponsored by Nvidia. People don't realize that that game is designed to sell Nvidia GPUs. I find CP raster does not look very good and I am convinced it is specifically to sell that RT. Fortunately I have a brain and did not fall for it and I also didn't really enjoy the game. People need to wake up to this RT bs. It's 100% he future. It 100% looks better in a lot of games. It 100% is not important in 2024 unless CP is your favorite game. This is by design!
@@christophermullins7163 AW2 looks best with PT on, and there's a noticeable difference with off. And it doesn't even have full PT so it doesn't even look as good as it could look. BTW I didn't even like PT in Cyberpunk. AW2 is a better demonstration.
New, common engines like UE5 having RT means that it's not just a proprietary thing for games to look good. It's not that the games don't need to force RT on you, it's that AMD needs to get their s%*+ together to offer proper RT support, as you probably use an AMD.
Batman Arkham knight is almost a decade old and it looks better than most triple A games of today.

I was between the 7900 GRE and 4070 Super and am ridiculously happy with my choice, the 4070 Super. If I didn’t go Nvidia I would actually be unable to max out many games. Frame generation literally turns unplayable experiences into fully playable experiences. I run DLAA to sharpen rather than upscale as Frame Generation eliminates need for up scaling. So my game looks sharper and runs faster. People don’t make a big enough deal about this tech. It will be relevant forever and 12GB of VRAM turns into more like 20GB or VRAM of performance.
I’ve been debating whether or not to upgrade my sapphire pulse 6800 🤔I only play mw3 and hd2 on 1440
Wait for sure
hey man.. i have a EVGA 1080Ti FTW3 and am just starting to feel like lacking and feel it stime to upgrade. What do you recomend as the top tier option, is it just the 4090? Thanks if u respond to help me out :)
Also if the answr is yes top end is 4090, do u recomened i buy the 4090 or wait til later in the year for the nex gen (if there is a nex gen coming)
@@icejoe6534hey man 4080 super would perform extremely closely and be way cheaper.
The RTX 4070 Super is what I went with but I’m thinking of returning it and buying a 4080 Super being it’s much better with 4GB more VRAM and 40% more performance making it much more feature proof. Yes it’s $400 more but once I get a 20% Capital One shopping rewards along with my Walmart Capital One 5% cash back putting the 4080 Super at just $750 making it a spectacular price!
Micro center has 6950xt for $550 new. I use this with ultra wide 1440p
One thing you don't mention is power draw. I mean look at the 7900 GRE just munching those watts compared to the 4070. This worries me because in my country energy is expensive af.
Hi Daniel, all this top end cards so close and no diamond, may be best way to wait for next ddr7 generation. Think 2k gaming 7800xt 524 eur and 7900gre 589 think best and good for 4k or rtx oriented ppl 4070super before no rtx, 4k rtx not playable.
Currently building my first PC to stream rust, which is better for streaming in general? Rx 7900xtx or the 4080 super?
For streaming go with the 4080 super. It definitely has the advantage in that department.
I’ve been on the fence between these two cars for a couple weeks. Currently have a 6750xt. From all the hours of videos and reading I went 4080 super. Should be here in a few days.
@@RS42174 thanks for that! i've done a lot of reading too haha decided with the 4080 as well as it looks to be a very strong choice
If I were interested in 8gb cards the 6650 would be a good deal, its just not worth it for Medium graphics on newer games, even at 1080p.
If U live in Europe how expensive is the 4070 super in your country??? In my country (Cyprus) the cheapest is 749 including vat
In the UK, Cheapest 4070 super right now is the Zotac Twin Edge for £553 which is around 641 euros including vat
Best video to date.
What would you recommend for someone who wants to play in 4K 60+ with some RT here and there
7900xt or xtx, or 4070ti super or 4080 super
Don't listen to the other guy. 7900GRE is the best budget GPU for 4K right now, just get a high-end model to be able to get tons of extra OC performance. In terms of RT, only thing it does is kill performance unless you really commit to ultra or straight up PT. Right now it's not worth the money, maybe wait for next gen if you're hellbent on having it.
Just scored a 7700xt for 280 so i cant complain and happily threw into my 7800x3d build
How?
Good deal. A while back I scored a week old 6950 XT for $420. 💥💥💥 You don't have to spend $1000 to play at 4k 🙂
I did the same but then switched for a 7900GRE. It is just a monster and everything in 1440p will run perfectly. Worth the price difference. But of course, you got your 7700 at 280, I had it at 420$
@@rolgolding thats great too.
should I go for the 7900 xtx instead of the 4070 ti super if im not planning to play ray tracing games?
yeah
for 300 i would reccomend the 7700xt or the 6750xt if you need to save money
A new XFX RX 6800 is the perfect price for me. So I'm planning to get that
I bought one 2nd hand ex mining last year in July for AUD$525 still going strong today it replaced the GOAT 1080ti. as I game at 1440p. paired with my 5800X3D
just ordered mine for 370 Euro. im so hyped
If u want to buy GPU for 300 dollars I think right now buying used if best at this price point 4060 isn't worth those 300 imo
I’m in the market for a used gpu to upgrade to 1440p resolution & I’m starting to think an RTX card is the only real option. Between the VRAM requirements & the processing power needed I’m really only finding the2080 ti under $300 that seems like it’s relatively safe as far as performance & driver support as well as reliability of a used card for the next couple of years? Am I missing anything?
3070 is better
With a 4070 ti Super on a 65" TV, I output to either 4K or 1800p using DLSS Balanced, which image quality wise is a big step up from something similar using FSR Quality. This is with path tracing enabled.
More should be made of 3200 x 1800 as a very viable and much lighter alternative to full fat 4k, which lets be honest, most people, even with a 4090, are not using, without some sort of upscaling. It's a pointless obsession which reviewers are wrapped up in, for some reason. Nobody else really is though. Of all the outlets, only Digital Foundry seem to promote the good middle ground use of 1800p.
I also find it interesting how the narrative regarding the 4070 ti Super is quite quickly changing to something more pragmatic and positive, after its misjudged reaction at launch.
If I only play cod, should I care about RT, and if not, just get a 7900xtx?
Thoughts on a 6950xt? Particularly vs a 7800xt at a similar price?
Just grab the 7900GRE, same raster performance, better RT performance and you get newer video encoder. Also full warranty.
@@anitaremenarova6662 I can get a used 6950xt Red Devil in the low £400s whereas the cheapest 7900 GRE is £516 for a new Gigabyte card right now. Pretty sure Gigabyte cards are usually pretty shit though so is the price really worth it?
I got a 7800xt, oc 16gb for under 400€ ( i had à 20% off discount) and i really think there is no need at all for something over it...
What does rasterized performance mean?
Raw performance with no rt or upscaling. Basically it’s real performance with no added software
Just got myself an used Red Devil RX 6800XT for $310. Noticeable upgrade from my old 6700 XT
Pretty stupid upgrade path
@@lifemocker85 nah, I sold my Pulse 6700xt for a good price and only had to add 50$ for that 6800xt. Did not plan on upgrading but the deal was nice so I went with it. Not as stupid as you think :)
@@loveisfreethree ok not bad
And here I am 2 weeks AFTER buying a new PC! Backwards research is OP!
Got myself a 6750XT for 300. Feels like I got a steal for a 12gb graphics card
The regular 4070 a great value if you can get one new open box/slightly used, they usually go for less than 500
