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.

I'm sorry WHAT?!?

The 4080 is 50% faster than this across the board AND has phenomenal ray tracing.

This card is FINE but not remotely in the league of the 4080.

Paid $750 back in 2017 for my 1080ti. How much faster is the 6950xt compared with the 1080ti? I play at 1440p for now.

Maybe he's talking about the 4080 imposter that was reduced and rebranded into the 4070ti?

it only looks close because the games they are using are probably cpu bottlenecked. If you look at the 4K and 1440p results, the difference becomes apparent

Same price for the OC Formula.
+1000 this. Get the OC Formula if you're considering a 69xx and skip the reference. I have the 6900xt formula and it's been a great card. I also owned a reference 6900xt and sold it to get the formula.

This is a solid deal. Don't listen to anyone talking about Ray tracing performance.

Yes it's bad but only some triple A title even support Ray tracing.

This is a top tier card and will perform amazing for years!

Quote from Cheapmelonsoda :
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.

I replaced my 1080ti with a 3070ti and it's a pretty huge upgrade 3440x1440 that being said 6950xt stomps mine so it's hella worth it

That's not true, they are closer in performance at 1080p and the 4070ti does good but loses ground at 2k and even worse at 4k it loses across the board by a little at 4k to both the 3090 and 6900. The 192 bit interface hurts it there.

It's a value proposition of hey, it's a costs less and new and almost as good and about equal to a 3900.

Like 2-3x faster. 1080ti is comparable to a 3060 in pure raster performance, and the 6950xt absolutely crushes that.

if you're running what you need fine just wait for more price drops. The 1080ti was a beast
