Sits just above a much more expensive 3070ti. It's a good buy at this price I think but GPU prices are fluctuating right now due to the release of Nvidia SUPER cards and stuff like the 7900 GRE. You may want to wait a month or two to see if it goes any lower
40-50W less for the 7700 XT. Say you pay $0.15 per kWh, you'd save 1kWh every 20 or so hours spent gaming. Remember that the higher power consumption is mostly applicable to gaming and not just idle/productivity use. So to save $40 you'd need to use it for something like 5000 hours. If you really use it heavily, that might actually pay off, but for me that math just doesn't work.

Yes and no; if you need to get a new power supply then that factors into it on how efficient it is vs how much is rated

Also Costs of hvac matters as well but you can't determine total cost of there household

Good points. I cared a little more about power dissipation when I lived in an old house in Texas. Now that I live in Colorado and have my PC in the basement, it would almost be nice for it to be a space heater.

The other thing with the 6800 vs 7700 is the 16GB vs 12 GB. I think I'd lean toward the 6800 here if I were buying. But I'm not buying because with the 7900 GRE just coming out at $550, it's inevitable that the 7800 and 7700 XT will slide further down in price in the near future.

Need to specify which resolution otherwise it's misleading on how memory bandwidth and vram can affect actual fps

It's not as easy to determine how well 4k and 1080p scales in reference to bandwidth or gddr6 vs gddr6x

Also memory speeds being overclock can help but some cards can't OC memory as much without stability suffering
I did specify that I was "using TechPowerup's performance rankings," and I also provided a link. If you have the time to put together all these other details, please do.

Here's a decent overview of the current GPU market: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3htwHpZQdgU

Before current gen, this card provided the best performance per watt. The only drawback of this specific model is its length.

If I was on the market on a budget this is a no brainer. Add to it it is XFX, one of the best AIB partners of AMD.
"Budgeat"??? This is high end for most gamers! I still using 5700XT @1440p...

I understand that but even on techpowerup it has in fine print that it doesn't scale all on 1080p or 1440p beyond a certain point; just giving input not criticizing your reference

Numbers help but it can misinterpreted and most people are going to look at what they are willing to spend and rather than what they need to spend at a certain target performance

If people want 1080p 360hz then it makes it a little tricky to recommend a higher tier card; given you can totally use a 6950xt that was meant for 4k but have it be used for 1080p in certain titles

Relative would be great to be relative to the end user not towards the entire GPU stack

I have the 6900, and I'll tell you, I love this card. Punch up the fans in AMDs software, add a little extra power, and it'll practically overclock itself. I've got mine running steady and stable at 2550mhz!

TechPowerup specifies that its rankings are based on its performance summary review data at 1080p for GPUs lesser than the 2080 Ti and 4K for 2080 Ti and faster. So, for the 6800, the rankings are based on 4K gaming.

Either way, it is a good starting point and a decent rough comparison. If anyone needs extra details, I recommend watching Hardware Unboxed or Gamers Nexus' reviews of recent GPU releases like the 4070 Super, which should include RX 6800 data. The internet is replete with reviews, where any end user can see performance for their preferred games and resolutions. (Just stay away from Userbenchmark.)

Sadly depends on where you life. In Northern California we get gouged by PG&E where incremental power usage above baseline is charged as high as 62 cents per kilowatt hour at peak times. That's 4x higher than the price per kilowatt hour you quoted.

Very solid deal for the performance. I'm sure we all wish GPU prices had plummeted back to Earth, but $380 for this level of perf is a great deal in the current market.
That said, I think between the super refresh and now the 7900GRE launch, there's a good chance that prices continue to trend downward with all the competition in that part of the stack.

Picked this up at MicroCenter yesterday. They price matched New Egg. Coming from a ASRock RX6650XT to move from 1080p to1440p gaming. Like it so far.
