6800xt

With that, I'd wait for RDNA4.

7800xt isn't much of an upgrade, nor is 4070ti.

agreed. the 6800xt is a baller of a card, imo.

7800xt is about the same (except a little better on RT and has av1 encoder). Some games, it's actually a little worse.

4070ti is better in RT, but similar (if not a downgrade) in raster. Not an upgrade either.

Traditionally, one generation is not worth it, unless you're going from low-mid end to high end. which is costly. Still applies today apparently.

I tend to HODL and only upgrade every 4-5 gens. Vega64 -> RDNA4 is my current plan.

Are you saying 6800xt is the same in raster as 4070ti or did you mean 4070?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, point.

But, of course, at 4070ti prices, I'd look at 7900xt.
