This is probably the best cost per frame for non-raytraced games you can get right now, at least for a card with more than 8gb of vram. While the 6750xt has gone a bit lower in the past ($300), stock has been drying up and I haven't seen it below $320 for a while. At 1080p the 6750xt is only very slightly weaker than the substantially more expensive (typically $350 on a good sale) rtx 4060ti, and at 1440p it's actually slightly faster than the 4060ti (in non-raytraced games). Additionally, the 6750xt has 12gb of vram, which is really the minimum you should expect for any card over $300. Cards with only 8gb of vram can run into issues playing the latest games at 1080p, let alone at 1440p. To get a nvidia card with more than 8gb of vram you'd need to spend at minimum ~$430 for the terrible value 4060ti 16gb (which is just as slow as the base 4060ti 8gb), or spend ~$500 (on a very good sale) for a 4070 12gb. Nvidia's raytracing advantage doesn't mean much at this price tier, since the performance impact of raytracing tends to greatly outweigh it's visual benefits unless you've got an abundance of gpu horsepower to throw at a game. In terms of cost per frame the 6750xt is moderately better than the rx 6800 16gb (on a good sale ~$380), particularly at 1440p and below. That being said, if you want a higher end 1440p experience, the rx 6800 at $380 offers a decent performance boost and four additional gb of vram for a relatively modest price premium.
There are some disadvantages to purchasing an amd gpu instead of an nivida card, namely: substantially worse power efficiency (compared to ada lovelace gpus, the 6750xt has a tdp of 250w while the similarly performing 4060ti has a tdp of 165w), somewhat worse (though still perfectly usable, at least in my experience) drivers, worse raytracing performance in the same price tier (not as much of a concern in the low end price tier), no dlss (which is a more widely supported and substantially superior upscaler compared to fsr), a more limited feature set (no rtx video, rtx hdr, nvidia reflex, etc.), worse ai/ml performance (though the lack of vram hamstrings nvidia gpus in those applications at this price tier), worse encoding performance, and a lack of cuda. That being said, for many gamers those disadvantages are entirely insufficient to justify paying more for cards with less vram and substantially worse cost per frame. On the plus side the radeon adrenaline software is superior to the nvidia control panel and geforce experience imo, though it's possible nvidia's new beta "app" might catch up to it eventually.
It's also worth noting that as a last gen rdna2 card the 6750xt lacks dedicated ai accelerators (not very useful now, but this may become relevant for ai based features in the future), a couple of recent driver features such as the new anti-lag+, and av1 encoding. Once again though, in terms of gaming the 6750xt at $310 provides an excellent value.
Overall, if you're looking for a low tier gpu (calling a $300 gpu "low tier" feels awful, but the current market is awful) for high end 1080p or mid tier 1440p gaming in the near term this is a good deal. If you can wait rdna 4 should be coming out before 2024 ends and based off of current leaks should offer a decent improvement in terms of price to performance.
I use a 6700xt to drive my 4K144 monitor. Does amazingly well running games at 4K with sensible settings. The 12GB VRAM is also the perfect value right now.
I'd say this is a super solid buy for a great performer.

Power is getting pretty expensive, over the life of the card, you can easily make up $100-200 worth of difference. At this price range, consider power efficiency.
Pretty sure the Steam hardware survey is global users, and in some counties, $310 is basically a monthly salary. This card was mid-range at release and it's closer to lower-end now. That doesn't mean it's entry-level though.
4060ti is considered mid range..and this card is around there

According to TechPowerUp's GPU chart, the 6750 XT is 30% faster than a RTX 2070. I would say that's more than "a bit faster". Is 30% faster wroth 310 bucks is a question you can only answer.
I took a flyer on a used one off Fleabay for $260 for my rebuild. So far, it works great. I can play Starfield at mostly high and a few ultra settings with no problems. Older games it can handle all ultra settings. Monitor is a Asus Tuf Gaming UHD. It's a big and heavy card. Make sure to measure. I cut down some chopsticks to hold mine up!
I'm still running a Dell 3070 8GB that I gutted from an Alienware R10 deal during the pandemic, but I'm gonna wait and see what other deals come between now and May/June. It's disappointing that a CPU manufacturer with so many great low TDP processors is behind Nvidia when it comes to power consumption vs. performance.

RX6750 XT is a bit faster than RTX 3060 12GB
But it's not much of upgrade.
