At 1080p the 6750xt is on average only slightly weaker than the substantially more expensive (typically $350 on a good sale) rtx 4060ti (in non-raytraced games), and at 1440p it's actually on average 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 in the ~$300+ price range. Cards with only 8gb of vram can run into issues playing the latest games at 1080p, let alone at 1440p. To get a current gen 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 good sale) for a 4070 12gb. Hardware unboxed recently posted a video testing vram requirements in a variety of games: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dx4En-2PzOU
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. Both raytracing and frame generation (both dlss3 frame gen and fsr frame gen) also require additional vram, so those features are pretty close to worthless on an 8gb card.
In terms of cost per frame, the 6750xt is slightly better than the rx 6800 16gb (on an excellent sale $340) and rx 7700xt (on an excellent sale $360), particularly at 1440p and below. That being said, if you want a higher end 1440p experience, the rx 6800 at $340 offers a decent performance boost and four additional gb of vram for a rather modest price premium. Likewise, the 7700xt has also recently dropped as low as $360, and is a current gen rdna3 alternative to the 6800 with similar performance and a better featureset, though the 7700xt only has 12gb of vram. At the same price ($360) I'd probably recommend the 7700xt over the 6800 as long as you won't be playing at 4k (I personally consider the improved featureset of the 12gb 7700xt to be more valuable than 16gb of vram at this price tier), but if the 6800 is $20 cheaper ($340) I'd probably recommend the 6800.
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; tdp's aren't 1:1 comparable, but the discrepancy in real world power usage under gaming loads scale relatively similarly), somewhat worse (though still perfectly usable, at least in my experience) drivers, substantially 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 many of 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 generally 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 terribly useful now, but this may become relevant for ai based features in the future), misses out on a couple of recent amd driver features such as the new anti-lag+ (and might potentially miss out on more in the future), and lacks hardware acellerated av1 encoding. Once again though, in terms of raw gaming performance the 6750xt at $270 provides an excellent value.
Overall, if you're looking for a low tier gpu (calling a $270 gpu "low tier" feels awful, but the current market is awful) for high end 1080p or lower-mid tier 1440p gaming in the near term, this is a very good deal. If you have a 1440p monitor and would prefer higher end gaming performance, the rx 6800 at $340 or rx 7700xt at $360 may be preferable. If you can wait, amd's next gen rdna 4 cards should be coming out either Q4 of this year or Q1 of 2025, and based off of current leaks should offer a meaningful improvement in terms of price to performance.

I am strongly considering this 1 for 100 more since i am planning on doing a water cooling system. But hard to find current info or builds with it
