The 4080 is moderately faster, but the 6950 is pretty damn close (check the benchmarks [tomshardware.com] if you don't believe me). And for literally half the price, the 6950 is definitely the better buy.

Actually the new raytracing in unreal engine 5 runs as good or a little better on AMD.

To the institutions and corporations, consoles are king. High performance Ray tracing is coming to the new consoles through whatever black magic or encoding changes they need to make. And that means it's coming to AMD because the consoles are 100 percent AMD PC hardware.

In fact it's already here with unreal engine 5, it just needs to be further implemented and almost ever game studio is adopting it.

So sick of people commenting on ray tracing as if it's something that should determine the purchase of a card. Go look at gaming benchmarks from hardware unboxed, gamers nexxus, jayz2cents or any reputable tech site. RT tanks your FPS and still to this day isn't worth the performance hit especially if you game at 1440p and above.

Putting the 7900 and 4000 series aside, is this a good price for this much performance now?

Wow pretty damn good deal here.

Trades blows with 4080 ($1200) for gaming as long as ray tracing isn't important to you.

Edit: looks like I am wrong, sorry. Was looking at 1080p.

I would say no. The ray tracing performance just isn't where it needs to be for $700 and while the rasterization is good, it's not good enough to justify the price IMHO.

The 6800(XT) will give you a similar enough performance profile for ~$500.
Meanwhile uyou can probably find an RTX 3080(TI) which will offer much better ray tracing performance for ~$700 if you are lucky.

If you can find an RTX 4070TI at around the MSRP of $799 you'll get a card with similar rasterization, way better ray tracing, and a better software feature set going forward (DLSS 3, etc)
Similar story with the RX 7900XT at $899 (albeit with better raster and weaker RT than a 4070TI).

Most importantly however, prices seem to be coming down. If you can afford to wait you will be rewarded for your patience.

So yeah. Even if you want to spend this much on a GPU I don't think this is the sweet spot.

This seems like a pretty decent deal for the GPU since you get an additional game on top of it.

love my 6950 xt, handles everything I need on my ultrawide 49 G9 and it is very quiet even after load. Don't care about ray tracing or VR
