Check Gamers Nexus 7900xt review. The 6950xt is pretty close in most games, but variables like power consumption, ray tracing and vram might be important to you. Personally I would get this one, but that is based just on a few reviews, no first hand experience.
Edit - I misread and thought they were asking about the 7900xt.
This or a 7900 xtx? I see an open box satisfactory for about $200 more near me, any suggestions greatly appreciated. Going with my i7-13700k 32gb ddr5, ideally 4k on my 55" TV that's 60hz.
I would stay faaaaaar away from open box FROM NEWEGG
The 6950 is about 11% better than the 4070 if size and energy draw isn't an issue. Keep in mind the 40 series cards are better at ray tracing as well. If that's also not an issue, the 6950 would be the better card.
Until you hit that sad 12 GB VRAM limit on the 4070 and performance plummets.

I have a 6900 XTXH chip (basically a 6950) and a 7900 XTX. Both on 5800X CPUs. However one is on a 4K screen and the other is on a 49" UW.
In my opinion, the 7900 XTX is worth the extra 200 even if you have a 4K 60hz screen. The gap in performance is substantial enough in my opinion that for the extra 200 you are getting your money's worth in the extra frames, RT, driver support, 8 extra GB in VRAM, etc. The 6950 is no slouch but its already a 2+ year old card at this point and it regularly goes for 600.
Ive yet to see a 7900 XTX even used go for 800.
It was 774 now it's 824, it had $50 off $1100 for the card so that $50 applied to the open box too, unfortunately I only go there on Thursday so it's going to be $860 out the door. Not sure if I'm going to do it yet it's a gigabyte oc

Gotcha at full price for the 7900 XTX (1000-1100) I would strongly consider the 6950, but even with the increased price, I would be tempted to get the former instead.
