you want to compare a $500 card with a $1200 card... Blink
if your budget allows a 4080, then you should get a 6900 xt, 6950xt or even a 7900xt, xtx. You shouldn't be looking at a 6800xt comparing it to 4080.

Both cards will work with video editting and COD, depends on what kind of performance you want out of it.
It doesn't matter. Just cause they both have 16GB if memory does not make them comparable.

I bought a open box PowerColor Fighter 6800 for $400. If this were still available, can you please tell me if I should buy this or keep the 6800 to save $100+?

Thank you.
this is available again..
I would be too lazy to wait till end of February and open the case again in your position..
no one can answer you since we don't know what 100$ means to you

6800 only if you are good with overclocking and very low price, otherwise - 6800 XT because ultra 4k/60 gaming on stock.
XFX over Powercolor.


Hmm, Ryzen 5900x pretty powerful. In your case I'll save money and just change video-editing software to program with normal Ryzen support. If you encode video with CPU - it's for sure software issue because you use raw CPU power. Intel Quick Sync good mostly for quick videos like previews or simple "web quality" presets up to 1080p, it's not for 4K hi quality videos.
If we talking about GPU video editiong because you need available CPU cores for other simultaneous tasks - it's only Nvidia GPU with CUDA cores. If you making money with video-editing - minimum 4070 Ti, if not - let's say 3060 Ti minimum.
AMD.. well, I really like it, but only for games without ray-tracing, not good for any work - not encoding, not GPU virtualization, not machine learning, I wish them good luck to improve all that but they tried many years and still behind Nvidia...
yea im looking at a 4070ti if I stay with AMD cpu but there are no sales lol, and MAYBE switch to resolve since I might start learning to color grade there. Intel quick sync is the best for h265 10bit 4k 422 for video editing, right there next to M1/M2 macs. no1 else seems to support decoding HEVC 10bit 422 except intel and apple

I tried many times different video processing "assistance" but powerful CPU processing still have better quality/stability/speed than any of them.
After CPU No.2 Nvidia NVENC.
Intel QSV have some issues with quality/stability, and AMD VCN just no way.
So with any Ryzen powerful CPU you are good, no need to spend money.
GPU - not for video/photo/audio editing, CPU do it better.
Buying Nvidia card make sense if you work with GPU virtualization, machine learning, cryptography, scientific calculations, math, coding.


If video editor have issues with CPU - it's clearly software problem, a few ways:
1) OS - if we talking about Windows, in important moment you can get bad "surprise", it's closed "black box", almost nobody knows what's going on inside, permanent uncontrolled updates and general work principle "constantly growing heap of junk in system"
2) video software - can have own bugs/glitches, if it's Adobe something - again expensive monopoly proprietary "black box"
3) drivers
4) other installed software which conflicts

Does anyone with this card know how long the heat sink is without the shroud? The pictures make it look like the heatsink is shorter than the shroud.

A bunch of posts were just deleted by admins here because of back and forth bickering about which is better, nVidia or AMD. Let's keep it civil and agree that they both have their advantages and weaknesses. This deal went FP and sold out quickly, so take that for what it's worth.

EDIT: Looks like it's back in stock now but estimated delivery is now March.

I bought this and the original shipping date was the middle of Feb, but I just received an early arrival email and noticed that my card was already charged and it should arrive tomorrow. Yay!

Nah, Amazon customer service took care of me. I told them the situation, and they said I could buy the $599.99 XFX 319 MERC and they'd credit me back $80 when it arrives.

Got mine today, hooked it up, clean install of drivers, stress tested, benchmarked, no coil line at all, compared to my Vega 64 blower fan this is Dead silent (but that's because I'm used to it being loud AF) now I can push my 3440x1440 easily
