Newegg via eBay[ebay.com] has PowerColor Hellhound Radeon RX 7800 XT 16GB GDDR6 PCIe 4.0 Video Graphics Card GPU on sale for $468.99. Shipping is free.
The advantages of the 7800XT vs. 6800XT will be some modest performance improvements due to newer architecture, raytracing, other 'features' found on the 7000-series, and improved power consumption/better thermals. At the same price point, 7800XT should be the most common choice, if the 6800XT is cheaper it may become a more difficult decision -- just how much cheaper to be a 'better' choice is more of a personal calculation.
The upside of this specific 7800XT is that it's widely considered a top-tier choice that performs really well, has an outstanding cooling solution with low-noise, and can be pushed a good bit beyond stock performance with undervolting, etc. Video card pricing is still, imo, over inflated but showing no real signs of returning from the stratosphere of the past few years. At this particular price point, at this particular time, this particular card is an good buy, imo. :-)
It hasn't really worked that way since the introduction of rtx.

No, I didn't read it wrong. It would stand to reason that the 7800XT would be better than the 6900XT like the 7700X is better than the 5800X. Or the 4070 being better than the 3080.
That's usually how it works.
no that's not how it works. The 4080 was originally going to be the 4070 till nvidia had a huge pushback on that
I live in a devout Christian household and I am afraid of buying this because it has the word "Hell" in it. How do I convince my parents that it is ok to buy this?
Put it in a waterproof and temperature proof container, submerge in water in a deep pot, then boil the hell out of it. Then it should be acceptable.

I'm not sure of the point you're going for, but you have that backwards. Nvidia announced the 4080, everyone went wth are those specs?, and they relaunched it as the 4070ti. In other words, the 4070ti was originally going to be the 4080

read it as "the 4080 (current model number), was originally going to be the 4070 (current model number)..
The point is nvidia is a scumbag company

Use the money to move out of your parents basement instead of buying satan's gpu.
Son of a SLICKDEAL! I just bought a XFX Speedster 7700 XT last Saturday from Newegg and should be delivered tomorrow... I couldn't find a 7800 XT under $500 so grabbed the 7700 XT for $399. I'm pretty tempted to just leave in box and send back when it arrives to get this. Only thing I'm worried about is I've never heard of this brand of card but all the specs are a nice jump up for just $70 more. Think it's worth it? 🤔

The best AMD brands that I see repeated are Sapphire, PowerColor, and XFX
Up to you if it's worth it, but it is a respected brand
Is the issue here that they think "Hell" is a cuss word or that you are afraid they'll have an issue with the idea something "hellish" in their home?
I think the bigger issue here is not the cards name but in what universe are there even any Christian oriented games worth playing? I don't want to go down that rabbit hole but I think every game i play has some sort of non Christian vibe to it and I love and play every single one of them. Skyrim Christian edition. Doesnt exist. God of War. Diablo. Doom. Baldurs gate 3. GtaV. Call of duty. I mean what is left? Tetris. Pong? I really feel bad for this kid.

The 7800 replaces the 6800, not the 6900 so you're 6900 is supposed to be better. The 7800 XT is supposed to be better than the 6800 XT. That's how it's always worked

I don't think it is unreasonable for consumers to expect a 15-20% generational uplift
To be clear, this is the exact card I bought. I'm satisfied with it. It doesn't mean though that GPU manufacturers haven't gotten a little spoiled increasing their profit margins over last few gens. I guess in fairness to AMD... they did expect more uplift with the 7000 gen.

Just change the L to a P. Now you have a Helphound.
And no Christian could have an issue with a Helphound. It's just a cute pup that likes to help people. Like Lassie.

I feel like this should be more expensive unless the 7000 series really is a dud
Edit: to answer my question it's worse than my 6900 xt in every way according to passmark. Maybe better with Ray tracing idk.
That's pretty shocking to me. Is this even at all better than the 6800 xt?
