Pretty sure 6800 xt was this price not long ago.
At this point in time I would wait for BF.
This is a LONG card, too big for my ATX case, make sure to check before you buy

Having a hard time deciding between this or the MERC319 7800 XT for $539. I'm upgrading from a 1080 so I'm going to measurably feel the difference either way. Are the performance gains between the RX 6800 and the 7800 XT worth $139 + tax?

At that price you might as well get an RTX 4070. More stable drivers and feature set + big advantage in ray traced games like Cyberpunk.

I own a 6800 and am thinking about returning it. Runs games OK but was freaked out about 12gb cards running out of VRAM but the truth is, by the time 16gb is required for newer games, this cards performance will be completely obsolete.

Tough choice. You'll get the frame generation portion that will come along w/ fsr 3.0 when that launches on the 7800 (for whatever that's worth), also better ray tracing performance. Personally I'd wait for Black Friday at this point and hope the 6800 drops at least another $15

I am hesitant to buy any AMD graphics. I've got a 6500xt for my budget build that uninstalls it's drivers every windows update and randomly. It is such an annoyance. Did a factory reset, driver wiping tools, etc. no fix. Any advice?

Stop using system restore every time the computer doesn't do what you want. My grandma did the same thing and kept undoing all the work I put in to it.

7800 XT faster than 4070, have 16GB RAM vs 12GB, 256-bit RAM bus vs 192-bit, cheaper $500, and on stock!
https://www.newegg.com/sapphire-r...6814202437
https://www.newegg.com/asrock-rad...6814930106
https://www.microcenter.com/produ...phics-card
So, 7800XT clearly win.

And your link shows $550 with delivery "November 10", LOL.

I recommend wait for BF and get nice discount for 6800 XT for 4k/60 Ultra settings for casual gaming or 7800 XT if same price or more but you need AI/ machine learning, AV1 video processing, etc.
If same price - no point in 6800 XT at all, sellers just stupidly greedy, just grab 7800 XT it's better.

6800 non-XT... anyway better to wait BF to get it cheaper, but it's not Ultra settings 4K/60 gaming, just medium/high.

I just bought a 7900XTX and returned it because Starfield was literally unplayable due to crashing. It's unfortunate and it's probably just that game but man was that frustrating to deal with. Idk what else to buy

Any GPUs can crush or show low fps in Starfail, game just VERY BAD made.
7900 XTX just for Starfield... good for you to have high income. Smilie

I've been on AMD for 4 generations. They're fine.

This is how RTX 4070 and RX 7800 XT compete in popular games:
1080p resolution:
RX 7800 XT is 0.9% faster than RTX 4070
1440p resolution:
RX 7800 XT is 5% faster than RTX 4070
4K resolution:
RX 7800 XT is 5.6% faster than RTX 4070

ray tracing is a gimmick

This is a Windows problem, not an AMD problem.

Quote from cooler :
You're absolutely right! Thanks for the warning.
Bigger warning, this title and the box says its the XFX RX6800 in this ad is the lower speed (XFX Speedster SWFT 319 Radeon RX 6800, 16 GB, 1700 MHz, 2105 MHz, Black, 340 mm) and at $400 its no SUPER deal, its a fairly solid card but if your looking at RX68xx's and NOT RX78xx's then it could work for you but like the other person said, maybe wait for BF, as the RX6800 XT has these specs (XFX Speedster MERC 319 CORE, Radeon RX 6800 XT, 16 GB, 1825 MHz, 2250 MHz, Black, 340 mm), or you could get the "right in the middle price range but with RDNA3 tech RX7800 XT 16GB (XFX Speedster MERC 319 Black Radeon RX 7800 XT, 16 GB, 1295 MHz, 2565 MHz, Black / Silver, 326 mm) which does have a slower base clock, BUT a much faster BOOST CLOCK, the same 16GB of GDDR6 memory and the added advantage of RDNA 3 instead of the older RDNA 2 on the RX6000 Series cards.

Finally I have seen RX7800 XT 16GB cards from XFX and Gigabyte right now for $499 to $529, and you know they will be on sale come BF, so should you spend $25, $50, $100 (1/5th more) and get a newer architecture RDNA 3 card with better boost clocks, same amount of memory, same manufacture and warranty, or fall for some warehouse "get rid of this old stock" dump?

https://www.amazon.com/XFX-Speedster-DisplayPort-Graphics-RX-68XTACBD9/dp/B08NX14LV1/ref=asc_df_B08N... [amazon.com]

The card you want, IF you're willing to sacrifice RDNA 3 is the RX6800 XT, SKU #: RX-68XTACBD9
The card they are pushing is SKU #: RX-68XLAQFD9

Those are my thoughts as someone that has worked in the IT, Telecom and Review industry for over 30 years with good friends at MaximumPC, PCWorld and other places. I have also build over 11,500 custom PC's over a 7 year period when Alienware was still "Alienware" and NOT "Dell, cost/benefit, ware", as well as running my own side business building and servicing custom computers since 1994, VipersHardware.

Good luck, and don't rush to jump on a deal because most of the time, "if its to good to be true, it probably is" so do your research and pick wisely.
