According to Tom's, the 6950XT edges out the 4070 Ti if you're not using ray tracing or DLSS. The 4070 has a healthy lead with ray tracing though.

I feel in a couple months these prices will drop even more. 4070ti is not selling the 7900xt isn't selling nor is the 4080. I'd wait and let these companies know we aren't crypto miners with unlimited funds.

you can run this on a lower wattage psu easily. They just say that to account for the absolute worst power supplies.

Quote from superk86 :
Sir, "edging out some performance wins in specific scenarios" does not qualify as miles better.

For $100, the 4070ti would gain:

DLSS and usable RT performance
Similar 1400p/4k performance across most titles
100w less peak power usage
Hardware encoder (NVENC) for content creators

I love AMD products, but being objective is important. The 4070ti is a much better product.
Agreed and I only have AMD cards at the moment. However keep in mind this is 100 dollars cheaper than the 4070 Ti. The Ti is also less power hungry.

As a reference for PSU required
I have a 13700k system. With 8 fans 5 hdd and a 4070ti
Idle is 92watt. Basic gaming around 250w. And max gaming around 450w. Example would be red dead redemption 1440p at 165hz. Ultra everything. I have the Thor 850 Platinum PSU and I saw it over 500w once while benchmarking.

750-850watt is generally the modern sweet spot.

I'm just barely getting by with my old Corsair 600w, which I cheaped out on last time not getting a modular one or even semi modular, which I feel stuck with as it works just fine and I don't want to spend $100+ on another component. So I'm going with a ketchup & mustard theme. lol

With all that said had I needed a new PSU I would be waiting for a deal on an 850w, but hoping a 1000w came along from a quality company to future proof. As I'd expect in the next 2-4 gens they will find a way to bring us more performance but without power output rising more.

Biggest thing is don't buy some no name Amazon "cheap" PSU because they are so expensive, that's when how you might actually fry components you care about.

Check the tier list.

Or at least remember Corsair, EVGA, & Silverstone

Allocation=/=usage. It's been discussed numerous times. COD's in-game overlay only displays VRAM allocations not actual usage. You can even find in the settings doc that describes that it is the "target VRAM to be used". The default value is somewhere 80% and that's precisely why you see 16GB(20GBx80%) with 7900 XT and 12GB(16gbx80%) with 6950 XT.

There are literally only a handful of games that I can count with one hand that actually use 12GB VRAM at 4K. Plus DLSS and FSR/RSR being a thing lately VRAM is hardly a bottleneck for any modern cards at its designed-for resolution. For any regular crowd that's has 8GB 3060ti/3070 or 6650XT at 1440P, you are perfectly fine waiting for the next generation.
It says usage right on the benchmark. I have mine set to 90% utilization but it uses 82-83% I'd post the pictures if I could on here.

None of these cards are good deals and yet everyone keeps buying them and then complaining about prices.

While this does seem like a good deal I just can't help but feel like the 7800 xt should be announcing soon for the same price same performance, FSR3, better RT and less power consumption 🤷🏼 ♂️

10000%. The reality is there is still demand for cards or they wouldn't be sold out constantly (4090 and 7900XTX). It's strange how all the YouTube reviews on the new cards all center around price.

Let's be honest nobody needs anything more than something from the 20XX series. Nobody needs to run every game 150FPS+. People are just buying based on pure want and luxury at this point.

If people will buy a $1600 JPG on the "blockchain" then they sure as hell will buy a $1600 graphics card. Dumping $1000 on a graphics card does not make sense for the mass majority of people yet they're still doing it.

Most of us would be plenty served by a PS5. Most of the games that benefit most from being on PC do not need powerful hardware (WoW, LoL, indie early access games, etc.) There are exceptions like Tarkov but still.

They are not good prices, they are horrible prices but if you must have one then you have to decide the price/performance currently...not what it should be. I started off with a used 1080ti for $200, then a 6700xt, 6800xt, 3080Ti...and finally settled on this. The 1080Ti would have been all I ever need LMAO but I splurged on a higher end card to last for the next 5 years.

Who knows, I've asked my nephew to send back my 1660 super and maybe I'll just use that again and return this card un-opened Big Grin

What COD calls it doesn't change the fact it's not the actual usage. You need to check Dedicated VRAM Usage Per Process in Afterburner which roughly represents the actual VRAM usage.

Google this topic if you need more information. Most games' settings and displays are only allocation, COD literally tells you it's the target usage, not actual. Because they can only display what they require, but to show what actually is being used requires extra effort which most games don't bother. 3090 has been showing 19-20GB even under 1440P, but it's not the actual usage.
