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.

I'd like to know where you can get a 6800 XT for $400.
I got mine from Newegg during the Black Friday deals. Yes it was a sale and yes it was Newegg but a mass available NIB 6800xt for roughly that price was still available.

Microcenter has the PowerColor RX 6950XT for $685. I am tempted to pull the trigger on that one...
Just read this last night and both my locations still had a couple left. I decided to sleep on it till morning cuz I just couldn't pull the trigger just yet. Now it's the next morning and they are gone from both locations Frown

But thanks for the heads up, tho.

I decided to go with ref 6950 xt as I saw quite a few concerning reviews about asrock warranty and customer service. for extra 5% of performance, was not worth the risk for me. Also OC cards run much louder and ref 6950 specifically is very quiet

You people have been saying this for like 3 years lol.
well prices did go down overall in the used market at least but i think that might be ending soon. Crypto is on the rise again. BTC up 25% over the last week. So i kinda take all of it back. just go out and buy a gpu because if crypto goes off again well these cards will be in short supply.

Foolish really - OC Formula is a great PCB with great power delivery.

I had an 850 on mine and it ran it but w/ coil whine. I upgraded to a 1000w and it was better. I was pulling almost 650w while benching in 3dmark on o'clock.

Avoid Newegg. They were my go to for years and now they're a shell of what they used to be. Return policy changed, shady business practices, and now it's a giant store front with 3rd party sellers that are questionable.

Not all of these might be bad, but Newegg is not nearly as good as they used to be.

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.
Some games that came out last year use over 10gb vram on 4k. Imagine games coming out for the next year or two or three (an $800 gpu should last 3 years at least right?). Smart people only use dlss/fsr when their card is old enough to not be getting 60+ fps anymore. Theres no point buying a $800 card today and using dlss/fsr for the fake frames and worse visual quality, if you were going to do that you could get away with using a way cheaper card.

Ask literally anyone who bought a 3080 10gb two years ago to play 4k AAA games and see if they regret their decision because of the vram limit. Even nvidia knew they fked up, since they came out with a 12gb version of the 3080 like a year later. If you want a 4k card, you need at least 16gb vram if you want your card to last. If you want to play at 1440p, just get a 6800xt and save some money.

Fair point. However 6800 XT even 6900 XT, together with 3080/Ti isn't suited for upcoming games at native 4K anyways, and if you need tune down certain settings and use DLSS/FSR (which I see no reasons why one wouldn't), the VRAM will have much less pressure on them.

I'm not here to argue Nvidia's techniques, but VRAM size on high end 3080 and above is the least one should worry about.

Yeah, idk, I guess my mentality is if youre spending $800+ on a brand new gpu, you shouldnt have to compromise at all. But lowering some settings and/or turning on dlss/fsr is compromising, even if it doesnt make the game look that much worse. I feel like dlss/fsr should only be used when you cant hit 60fps at native 4k anymore, or you turned on ray tracing. And I agree, 6800/6900xt and 3080 isnt enough for 4k now, but theyre still really good at 1440p. 6950xt/4070ti and above are (or should be) 4k cards though.

Sorry but RayTracing is the future for me. New upcoming games like Diablo 4, and Starfield are going to have Raytracing. I would buy this at $600.
