This is a strong value 9070 XT deal, with the card praised for solid performance and near 5070 Ti class results at a much lower price. The $629 tag is described as only a little above MSRP and attractive versus current Nvidia pricing, especially for buyers weighing a 6800 XT upgrade or a 4K, high frame rate setup. The main cautions are reported driver crashes on some Gigabyte cards and concern about past thermal gel issues on the 9000 series. Its 11.3 inch length also makes it easier to fit in tighter cases.
The $629 price is framed as strong value versus Nvidia alternatives and even relative to MSRP.
The 9070 XT can deliver noticeably higher frame rates than a 6800 XT at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K Ultra without ray tracing.
The card's compact 11.3-inch length can fit builds that need a front 360AIO without GPU interference.
The upgrade can be compelling for users who hit VRAM limits on an RTX 3080, especially at 4K gaming.
Gigabyte-specific experiences can include driver crashes and thermal gel concerns on 9000-series cards.
Driver crashes can persist in common games even after rolling back multiple driver versions.
Some owners do not view the 9070 XT as an upgrade over a 6800 XT for their own use case.
FSR 4 timing and quality on 6000-series cards may lag 9000-series, and overall enhancement may not match 1:1.

Worth it to upgrade from 6800 xt since it's getting fsr 4?
If you're able to resell the 6800 XT, you could recoup some of the cost. Currently, it tends to sell somewhere between $350 and $400 used.
I upgraded from a RTX 3080 (which is pretty comparable to a 6800 XT) to the 9070 XT about a year ago, and I noticed a big difference. I game at 4K resolution, and my 3080 often did not have enough available VRAM to run some games well enough.
Although FSR 4 is coming to 7000 series cards very soon, FSR 4 on 6000 series cards is still about a year away according to Jack Huynh from AMD. AMD has to do a lot of re-engineering to get FSR 4 working on 6000 and 7000 series cards because these cards use integer (INT8) calculations rather than the better floating point (FP8) calculations found on the 9000 series cards. So it's unknown what the overall quality enhancement and performance will be on 6000 series compared to 9000 series cards. I don't doubt FSR 4 will look great on 6000 series cards, just unsure if the FPS gain for example of FSR 4 will be equivalent to 9000 series or if the overall quality will be a 100%, 1:1 match.
While I would have much preferred the Power Color, or an XFX- at $629, this is the best 9070 XT deal I have seen lately (minus sold out in seconds woot one-offs).
