I feel like you're just trolling..

No but it is cheaper than the 3080 and has similar performance

I bought the 6800 XT version of this card for less than this 4 months ago... these prices make no sense.

Can this play D4 at 4K w/ RT? Saving for that goal.

Just in case you haven't read the answer in the other 6800 thread where you asked the same question. 3080 or above for 4k RT. NVidia does RT performance AMD does not, at least not near on the same level.

I can't figure out what D4 could be besides Diablo 4, which of course is not released so we wouldn't know how it performs.

So, this card is good for that goal? Or should I save up to get 3080 minimum like the above poster said?

The AMD 6000 series GPUs are not good at RayTracing or DLSS (FSR, their version of DLSS.. sigh). If you want 4K, you'd have to stick with a 3080+, or even better, get a 4070ti.

The AMD 7000 series are much better at RT and have their own version of DLSS (FSR) that works pretty good. The value is there.

4K Gaming at ultra settings with RT is a gimmick and not worth it in my opinion.. I play multiplayer games mostly, so there's probably why.

1440P is the sweet spot and can run most anything at high settings with my EVGA RTX 3080.

Ok, so will this card run D4 at 1440p with RT then? I am lowering my expectation.

Historically, Blizzard games haven't been particularly difficult to run so odds are it will be fine. But also none of us can see into the future where D4 is available so who can say for sure?

Ah, ok. Thanks. Looks like I have to wait to see the final spec for RT then.
