I got a 6700xt late in 2022. It has been fantastic so far but I think the 7700xt is a worthy succesor. I don't think it's a big enough step up for me to upgrade now though but maybe next gen I will... I also think the 6700xt is ok for my purposes (1080p) so don't really need the upgrade yet. I might upgrade my cpu before I upgrade my gpu.
My RX 6800 was 400 euros used almost a year ago. It came from hobby miner and I could actually track his purchases from a forum we have here. He had two 6800 and a couple of 6700 and he hardly used them. lol Yeah, my used mining RX 6800 is wonderful. :P
For me buying a 7800xt instead of a 7700xt is a no brainer due to the small difference in cost but lets hope the 7700xt adjust its price so it can be more attractive
@@TheVanillatechthe 7700 xt is a good card, it just looks stupid when the 7800 xt is better value. But agreed, it still shits on the 4060 ti. The 7700xt would be really good at $400

Bought the 6800 nearly 3 years ago. Been serving me good so far. Its insane to think, that just before i bought that card, 3 years would have given 3 generations of cards. By now, i would have an ancient card that would fight with the X600 series or lower. Its insane that the 7700XT is just slightly better than a 3 year old card.
Nice to see the good old 6800 is still a very good GPU, I've just put mine in a mATX build for my nephew, I think he'll love it! xD The difference from one game to the other is a bit strange though but even with games faster on the 7700XT I think it's better to have a 16GB card like the 6800. Great work!
@@damara2268I wouldn't say a lot, here in my country it's 30 dollars more and it'll not be supported as much as the Rx 7700xt. 12gb vram should be more than enough for 1440p gaming.
In Starfield using my 6800, I did have to use a bit of FSR2 to maintain over 60fps in all situations @ 1440p, but I was surprised how good it looked, as long as you keep it at 70%+ resolution scale. I was able to tweak settings to the point where it looks as good as high/ultra mix but performs better than medium, and you can barely tell it's not native. Outdoors I'm getting 70+ fps and 120+ fps indoors. There are some great graphics mods on nexusmods too so don't think you can't run Starfield, try it out because even on the steam deck it's playable now.
Happy with my secondhand cheap ebay bought Sapphire Pulse RX 6800. The RX 7700 XT looks to be an amazing card and will no doubt be the new budget mid range king in the future much like its predecessors.
@@shukhor3010it's way more than 50 percent especially at 4k. Along with 16gb of vram and amds rx7000 series exclusive features like antilag plus and hypr-rx. The card is only about 150 more and it's just way better for everything you get,.
As always thank you for your depth comparison !! You are the main reason I bought RX 6700 XT after watching your video and also Ryzen 7 5700X since my old PC rig (FX 8350 + GTX 980) died after 9 years of faithfull service.. lol
I just bought the 6800 vanilla. It replaced a 1660ti. VR looks amazing! I picked it because I could afford it, and it works with my existing power supply. I feel as though I've doubled my video performance. I'm pretty happy with my purchase. Great video! It's reassuring that I made a good decision.
I just want to point out to you that of ALL the tech channels I’ve seen on RUclips, you have the most compelling frame rate graph analysis of the bunch.
This is exactly the sort of performance uplift over the 6700 XT that I expect to see from a newer card, it's just the price point that the 7700 XT is at that makes it difficult to justify buying at this point.
I bought one, ahnd im very happy. I'm from the australian/ New Zealand region, pricing is alot different her compared to the NA market. 7800xts were more expensive in my region compared to the 7800xt in the US.
3 years worth of covid lockdown inflation, a NATO vs Russia war, and the MSRP is basically the same as the 6700XT was ... yet you're getting a +15% increase in performance and it's ALSO whooping (and I mean WHOOPING) the $400 and $500 Nvidia offerings..... .... not sure what there is to complain about?
@@sui7 Since it’s cheaper now (416 bucks over here in Mississippi), I say yes, but if you want even better performance, go for the RX 7800 XT or RX 7900 XT. The CPU I’m using is a Ryzen 7 5800X, but yea. Ryzen 7 7700X will probably be better. I’m also using 32 GB ram 3600 MHZ and 850+ watts power supply.
Still very happy with my RX 6800 Fighter card. Holds 2440MHz stably. Thanks for the comparison. And, since I just got a new TV that supports 120MHz variable refresh rate and 2.1 HDMI . VSync will also be something to test.
I am running a RX6800 since ~3 years. Unfortunately there is still no option I would upgrade to. Even the new price/perf king 7800XT offers too little for an upgrade price difference of ~250EUR imho

Really torn between buying the 6800 or the 7700XT right now. I upgrade GPUs every 5 years+, still rocking the 1060 6gb. I feel the 16gb VRAM with the 6800 will serve it better in the future.
@@AncientGameplays What if the cheapest 7700 XT i could find is 460$ (XFX SWFT) and the 6800 for 450$ (XFX SWFT) Which one should i get? And are XFX cards good?
The best choices right now, if you have the money, from slightly worse to slightly better, are 6800XT, 7800XT, or 69(5)0XT. 6800XT may be as fast as 7800XT on average after tuning, but it eats up a bit more power, which may be important depending on where you live. 7800XT is great under current circumstaces: it takes less watts than 6800XT, supports AntiLag+, and has Hyper-RX in one click instead of having to enable each feature individually in control panel. 6900XT and 6950XT are a bit faster than 7800XT, although they require a bit more power too, but if you can find those at around $500~$550, it would be the best choice - in the future, given the state of current AAA optimization, those extra +7~10% extra performance may come in handy at having locked and stable 60 or 30 FPS, depending on the title. As for other decent-performance value options, 7700XT is just not worth the savings compared to buying a 7800XT, unless the gap is much larger in your local stores. 6700XT is a bit slow, it definitely won't let you use same graphics settings, but it's also cheaper quite a bit, so as a value option it definitely may be great depending on your needs and budget. 6800 non-XT is just meh, IMO. Unless you are lucky to get a great deal in pricing department, it's the same versus 6800XT as 7700XT vs. 7800XT.
The 6700xt hasn't been a 1440p/60fps card for quite some time now, especially with the latest games. That's why I'm sticking with my 1080p monitor for the time being. Thanx for another great video.
Did you figure out the vram overclocking issue you were talking about in community tab? Thanks for always including undervolting potential in your reviews, a lot of reviewers don't.
He didn't say if FSR 2 was on or not. plus what part of Starfield was being tested , with the new 23 . 9 .1 driver and my RX 6700 10Gb, you now get a tab to decided what mode the card needs to be in before you start the game and I run Anti Lag in Qualtiy mode / Anti Lag and Radeon Boost in Preformance mode, this is done now at the driver level and that one click AMD was talking about works on 6000 seriers cards and Starfield , it works outside of the game itself but working as it should!
no kidding. the only reason it's smooth on my rtx 4080 with quality DLSS at 4k is because of the dlss 3.5 mod with framegen. amd should have released fsr3 earlier with this game to help mitigate this bs.
Hey, Fabio! Thank you for the video, as always! Will you be doing the comparison of 6800XT & 6900XT vs 7800XT and XTX version of/when you'll have the possibility?
As the fps difference and power draw not being so large, if at all, I'd rather have the extra VRAM. It's been shown that the additional VRAM is more important in certain game and I've noticed in my own playthroughs of heavily modded Skyrim, that the 16GB versus 12GB makes a difference in how fast and smooth the transitions are for textures. I had waited for the 7700XT to come out, but it took too long and when it did get leaked with only 12GB, that was the final straw. I bought a 6800XT and I'm very happy with the performance along with the 16GB VRAM. I know I'll be able to sell this card in the used market in the future, unlike the 8 or 10 GB versions that have been shown to be incapable of running modern games at a reasonable setting.
Although we have the 7700xt pulling ahead in newer game engines, having av1, consuming less power when tweaked and of course, being able to use fluid mption in the drivers when it comes out
I was thinking of getting a second hand 6700xt but seeing the power consumption is very close to that of the 6800 but with more FPS, Im thinking I should get the latter instead. Yes, power consumption is something I consider as electricity bill in my country can go crazy high.
Always great and in depth analysis!! Thanks and keep it up Mate! Would love for U to also test the cards with Star Citizen at some point, if U have the posibility, as this is my main game to play. Cheers!
I have tried buy red devil rx7800xt for 530€-cancelled order, next was 7800xt nitro+ for 490€ it was pricing error and shop send me 7700xt pulse and I returned it, now waiting propably till monday for rx 6800xt gaming oc for 430€ (refurbished warranty till end of 2024), in review i notice that vram clock of 7700xt is stock even at oc settings and it should give even more performence especially at higher resolutions
What's the 7700XT's power usage? It looks like its slightly higher than the 6800. As far as pricing, look for a sales on both 6800 and 6800XT. The 7700XT needs to drop to $400. No if, and or but. There was a flash sale of the 6800 for $400 and 6800XT for $430. You should only buy the 7700XT once it hits $400.
the 6000 series doesn't report board power, only core power. it's misleading. add at least 80w to the power displayed for the real power. my 6900xt showed 250w at stock but the default board power was 340w i think.
Thanks for benchmarking the cards. Now I'm really content with my RX 6800, no need to look any further. Well, until a new build which is a couple of years off.
I think this is the range of GPU's many of us move between so I really enjoy this videos. Thank you for that and have a nice day. Greets from germany 👋
Still cant decide between a 7800 XT and a 6950 XT, the price difference is $45-50 in my country (7800XT is cheaper). Newer/less power vs faster rasterization. Running a 3440x1440p screen and an AMD 7600. Suggestions would be appreciated? Is the 7800XT with its new features more worth or does 6950XT still take the lead? Not that very interested in RT overall
It's a pitty AMD didn't launch a 5800 XT or 5900 XT or 5850 XT so it will be more confusing to choose a card to buy... at least we have RTX 20 and RTX 30 and RTX 40 equivalents also, new and used... not as many option like the 20 in the perfromance tier of the PS5/1080 Ti/4060... naming could be also improved also by the 7700 XT being the 7800 XT - 1/2 XT or 7750 XT, and the 7800 XT being the 7800 or the 7770 XT... they need more numbers or letter if they are so close in perfromance... clearly the power scaling perfromance graph of the Navi 32 gpus is an interesting topics to see how much OC room and efficiency it really is, to see if there is a justification to buy them over 7600 or 4060, and over 4070... 7900 XT at discounted USA prices with UV/UC is very impressive... a 7850 XT would fit clearly to match and outperfom the 4070 clearly in every aspect...
6700 XT is still the KING in terms of price/performance & power consumption. Last Gen's 6800 (and UP) GPUs & the new 7000 series have serious power issues @ video playback (youtube, Netflix, video players etc.) 40+ W is stupidly HIGH & meaningless... and while 6700 XT consumes only 16W, the new 7700 XT doubles that power draw with a whooping 33W on "video playback" AMD should solve that power draw issues @ video playback at least in the next 8000 series. No, I'm NOT UpGrading. I'll stay with RX 6700XT until the next gen.
exactly....higher electricity cost must be evaluated nowadays...like EU are getting slaughtered with high price due to the conflict and above all cost of electricity won't decrease but will only go up....lucky are those countries with oil reserve....
Feels like I just got my 6700xt so it's sad to see it as the worst one in videos. I managed to sell my 5700xt during the GPU crisis (was it 2 years ago now? or 1?). Anyways I sold it for 100$ more than I bought the 6700xt for, I was lucky to find a new card at that time. Gonna hold on to my 6700xt for a while now :D
The new AMD cards seem to be really decent performance-wise and viable options for new builds (7700XT the price has to go down a bit ofc). But with my 6700XT, pretty much the only card Im kinda hyped to upgrade to is Intels BMG-G10 battlemage if its what its expected to be. Imagine a 4080 lvl performance for half the price, it would be insane. But for now Im good and cant wait to see FSR 3.0 on my GPU, since AMD doesnt block their new upscaling tech from "older" cards like Nvidia does 😵💫 Thanks for your work Fabio, our community hero! 😎
@@photlam9769 You won't get HYPR-RX on cards below 7xxx. One click option. You can still uses fsr and fluid motion but they recommend to use amd frame gen on gpus from RDNA2 at least so 6800 and 6700xt are good.
Your right I bought the MSI 4080 Suprim X amazing performance for £900, if battlemage is as performant for £500, AMD and Nvidia will lose market share and margin. Something that these companies deserve, about time there was real competition. Collusion on pricing should be investigated by regulators!
I wanted to get a 6800 originally but it rab out of stock like 1-2 days before i was about to buy it so i had to get the 6700xt. It still makes me sad remembering that.
Action finding choosing a card for my budget of around £500 quiite tricky. In the uk its when you look at 7800xt and 7700xt prices, your choices are premium cooler 7700xt vs budget 7800xt. A decent 6800xt model or saving on a 6800. I dont play many aaa games and never at 4k, i like cool and quiet gpus. So new gen feature and efficiency vs older value. Premium cooling vs basic.
I have had a MSI gaming trio rx 6800 for nearly a year now and am very happy with the performance and i paid $799aud new. The cheapest Rx 7800 xt is around $900aud which would be what i would upgrade to at the moment for a decent performance upgrade. But i am still inclined to wait and see what the RX 8800xt brings in performance and price. I don't play AAA games so i can hold on for longer before i upgrader my GPU. Another fine video my friend well done.
Hi ! In France, actually, the rx 6800 is at 400 euro, 7700xt at 480/500 euro and rx6700xt or 6750xt are at 370 euro, so the best for was the rx6800 I have recently buy and I'm very happy with it (model XFX Swft 319). Great video comparaison. Hope you the best and take care of your hair 🙂
Hello in Brazil I found the RX 6800 SWFT brand new but it costs the same price as the RX 7700 XT. I think I'll buy the RX 7700 XT even with 4GB less VRAM
i got a saphire nitro+ 6800 and i amazed to how cool and relatively low power draw this card is.The 7700xt is a good replacement performance wise but the pricing favors the 7800xt
The RX6800 is great... When I play Half Life Alyx with Ultra textures on my Reverb G2 (2600x2600 per eye at a locked 90Hz) the VRAM utilization is around 14.5GB. I can't even begin to express how happy I am that I chose a card with 16GB VRAM. Same with DCS. It utilizes over 14GB as well.... Since you have depth perception in VR, texture quality and resolution become far more important than silly things like RT. :) I couldn't care less about that stuff in its current state.
New, I dont think anything between the 6700xt and 7800xt makes any sense. Used, it just depends on what price you pay. The 7700xt needs to be $429 max.
nice comparison ! many people got it wrong i think with believing the 6800 ist more efficient. but its the software only showing the core draw not the full power draw.thanks for clearing this out! with this in mind rdna 3 has its efficiency right between rdna2 and ada. undervolting and tuning clockspeeds is worth it most of the times. seems that the standart voltages are pretty high with navi 32. now that the idle consumption with high refresh monitors seems to be fixed with the 7700 xt and 7800 xt, they will be a attractive alternative to the 4070 rtx :)
So basically get a 6800 overclock it and job done. You can see the 7700xt getting beat in heavy vram games. 6800 is more future proof and no doubt will out perform the 7700xt more in the future. Amd should have really made the 7700xt 16gbs but aw well.
Just picked up a Xfx swft 6800 for £380 for my boy, couldn't resist. Now to absorb all the content. I love the r6000 generation and playing with more power tool!
The 192-bit wide memory bus width is really hurting the 4K performance of 7700XT, where 6800 can easily take over. And even though I love that you visited Hungary in Flight Simulator, I believe New York would really humiliate the 6700 XT at 4K, kidding.
I like how I told myself that I have a 6750xt, so it's a no-brainer to keep that one since the performance is decent, but then I remembered that my kitty chewed my HDMI cable, which resulted in several blank green screens and my GPU finally frying. Based on this video, I'd upgrade the Radeon R7 240 4GB that this system is now running on with the 7700XT, but of course I'm curious about the 7800XT...will you be making a video with that one as well, perhaps comparing it to the 4060Ti 16GB and the 4070?
that would be 100$ extra for a used one compared to the 6800 and would also need to change the psu as 650w is barely enough. just the hassle to change the psu is off-putting, to be frank @@AncientGameplays
One thing that never stopped impressing me, the RX 6800 had way less power draw consistently than the newer gpu it traded blows with, and strangely better performance per watt than the rx 6700 xt from its own generation. Both times ive bought an rx 6800 ive seen they undervolt well to deliver really good performance per watt.
remember the RX 6000 series show the core power draw, while the 7000 series show the FULL board power, different things. But the 6800 tweaked is indeed a great card
Im happy with my 6800 non/xt I bought it for 280$ 6 months ago. I undervolt & overclock a bit right now Im thinking best price performance I have in my system. Thanks Fabio!
Unless the price of RX 7700 XT goes down, then going straight to RX 7800 XT is a better choice for future proofing. But of course, if you are happy with gaming in just 1080p 60fps only, then RX 6700 XT is still a decent choice.
Im looking for a 6800 for 569$ or a 7700 xt for 619$. 6800xt/7800xt here is +100$ minimum. With starfield bundle I may go with the 7700xt for the new tech. It may get better with a few drivers update . I dont expect much but if it get +3-5% better it may be worth the additional 50$
@@AncientGameplays sorry to ask here. Do u have a record power consumption for Rx 6800 undervolt and Rx 6700 xt normal setting. Very worries electric bill but 16gb vram still hard to resist. Need to cough up 200 Dollar more for Rx 6800😅

6700XT can be found for around 250-280 euro used so I have to say it wins. Edit to add- the value here is going to be when the 7700 XT gets a massive price drop because last gen is sold out and everyone will buy the 7800XT

In Starfield using my 6800, I did have to use a bit of FSR2 to maintain over 60fps in all situations @ 1440p, but I was surprised how good it looked, as long as you keep it at 70%+ resolution scale. I was able to tweak settings to the point where it looks as good as high/ultra mix but performs better than medium, and you can barely tell it's not native. Outdoors I'm getting 70+ fps and 120+ fps indoors. There are some great graphics mods on nexusmods too so don't think you can't run Starfield, try it out because even on the steam deck it's playable now.
Happy with my secondhand cheap ebay bought Sapphire Pulse RX 6800.
The RX 7700 XT looks to be an amazing card and will no doubt be the new budget mid range king in the future much like its predecessors.

As always thank you for your depth comparison !! You are the main reason I bought RX 6700 XT after watching your video and also Ryzen 7 5700X since my old PC rig (FX 8350 + GTX 980) died after 9 years of faithfull service.. lol
Thank you!
I just bought the 6800 vanilla. It replaced a 1660ti. VR looks amazing!
I picked it because I could afford it, and it works with my existing power supply.
I feel as though I've doubled my video performance.
I'm pretty happy with my purchase.
Great video! It's reassuring that I made a good decision.
Great upgrade indeee
I just want to point out to you that of ALL the tech channels I’ve seen on RUclips, you have the most compelling frame rate graph analysis of the bunch.
Thank you!
This is exactly the sort of performance uplift over the 6700 XT that I expect to see from a newer card, it's just the price point that the 7700 XT is at that makes it difficult to justify buying at this point.
I bought one, ahnd im very happy. I'm from the australian/ New Zealand region, pricing is alot different her compared to the NA market. 7800xts were more expensive in my region compared to the 7800xt in the US.
3 years worth of covid lockdown inflation, a NATO vs Russia war, and the MSRP is basically the same as the 6700XT was ... yet you're getting a +15% increase in performance and it's ALSO whooping (and I mean WHOOPING) the $400 and $500 Nvidia offerings.....
.... not sure what there is to complain about?
I got my RX 7700 XT 2 days ago. Upgraded from my RX 6600 XT. My RX 7700 XT so far is an amazing experience. Been having a blast with 1440p.

No excuses needed my friend, good things take time. Your content is brilliant👍
Greetings from Germany
Thank you!
Really torn between buying the 6800 or the 7700XT right now. I upgrade GPUs every 5 years+, still rocking the 1060 6gb. I feel the 16gb VRAM with the 6800 will serve it better in the future.
any of these will be a massive upgrade. The 7700XT will deliver more future feature though as it has AI cores
@@AncientGameplays What if the cheapest 7700 XT i could find is 460$ (XFX SWFT) and the 6800 for 450$ (XFX SWFT)
Which one should i get? And are XFX cards good?
As always the best comparison and we can see the hard work for making this video. Also thanks for the "overclock" comparison
The best choices right now, if you have the money, from slightly worse to slightly better, are 6800XT, 7800XT, or 69(5)0XT.
6800XT may be as fast as 7800XT on average after tuning, but it eats up a bit more power, which may be important depending on where you live.
7800XT is great under current circumstaces: it takes less watts than 6800XT, supports AntiLag+, and has Hyper-RX in one click instead of having to enable each feature individually in control panel.
6900XT and 6950XT are a bit faster than 7800XT, although they require a bit more power too, but if you can find those at around $500~$550, it would be the best choice - in the future, given the state of current AAA optimization, those extra +7~10% extra performance may come in handy at having locked and stable 60 or 30 FPS, depending on the title.
As for other decent-performance value options, 7700XT is just not worth the savings compared to buying a 7800XT, unless the gap is much larger in your local stores. 6700XT is a bit slow, it definitely won't let you use same graphics settings, but it's also cheaper quite a bit, so as a value option it definitely may be great depending on your needs and budget. 6800 non-XT is just meh, IMO. Unless you are lucky to get a great deal in pricing department, it's the same versus 6800XT as 7700XT vs. 7800XT.
The 6700xt hasn't been a 1440p/60fps card for quite some time now, especially with the latest games. That's why I'm sticking with my 1080p monitor for the time being. Thanx for another great video.
Hey 6700xt 1440p owner chiming in to say it absolutely still shreds at 1440p 60.
@@Sneakyboson
I'm referring to some of the latest games maxed out, as shown in the results here, also a 6700xt owner.
Simple changing from Ultra to High settings will fix that issue...
bought a used 6800 nonXT 1 month ago for 350€. Great choice. Specifically chose the nonXT over the XT for the much lower power draw, heat and noise
Did you figure out the vram overclocking issue you were talking about in community tab?
Thanks for always including undervolting potential in your reviews, a lot of reviewers don't.
I did talk a bit about it in the co conclusion I believe. Its a bug as it only overclocks in windowed mode....lol
Great work! With 7700xt and 7700x you can’t even get 60 fps in Starfield. Wtf Bethesda is thinking? We all need $1500+ comport to run this game?
Bethesda needs to get their heads out of their asses and start optimizing their games, starting with a better game engine
He didn't say if FSR 2 was on or not. plus what part of Starfield was being tested , with the new 23 . 9 .1 driver and my RX 6700 10Gb, you now get a tab to decided what mode the card needs to be in before you start the game and I run Anti Lag in Qualtiy mode / Anti Lag and Radeon Boost in Preformance mode, this is done now at the driver level and that one click AMD was talking about works on 6000 seriers cards and Starfield , it works outside of the game itself but working as it should!

Possibly with the 7800xt yes
Yes! Finally the video we've all been waiting for! Thank you, Fabio, es o melhor! ^^
Thank you. Um abraço!
As the fps difference and power draw not being so large, if at all, I'd rather have the extra VRAM. It's been shown that the additional VRAM is more important in certain game and I've noticed in my own playthroughs of heavily modded Skyrim, that the 16GB versus 12GB makes a difference in how fast and smooth the transitions are for textures. I had waited for the 7700XT to come out, but it took too long and when it did get leaked with only 12GB, that was the final straw. I bought a 6800XT and I'm very happy with the performance along with the 16GB VRAM. I know I'll be able to sell this card in the used market in the future, unlike the 8 or 10 GB versions that have been shown to be incapable of running modern games at a reasonable setting.
Although we have the 7700xt pulling ahead in newer game engines, having av1, consuming less power when tweaked and of course, being able to use fluid mption in the drivers when it comes out
I was thinking of getting a second hand 6700xt but seeing the power consumption is very close to that of the 6800 but with more FPS, Im thinking I should get the latter instead. Yes, power consumption is something I consider as electricity bill in my country can go crazy high.
For the games I play, my RX 6700XT at 1440P runs great. I got a good deal on the price. I'm very happy with my RX 6700XT.
Always great and in depth analysis!! Thanks and keep it up Mate! Would love for U to also test the cards with Star Citizen at some point, if U have the posibility, as this is my main game to play. Cheers!

I have tried buy red devil rx7800xt for 530€-cancelled order, next was 7800xt nitro+ for 490€ it was pricing error and shop send me 7700xt pulse and I returned it, now waiting propably till monday for rx 6800xt gaming oc for 430€ (refurbished warranty till end of 2024), in review i notice that vram clock of 7700xt is stock even at oc settings and it should give even more performence especially at higher resolutions
Yes, as I said, the vram was bugged sadly
What's the 7700XT's power usage? It looks like its slightly higher than the 6800. As far as pricing, look for a sales on both 6800 and 6800XT. The 7700XT needs to drop to $400. No if, and or but. There was a flash sale of the 6800 for $400 and 6800XT for $430. You should only buy the 7700XT once it hits $400.
No...watch the conclusion
the 6000 series doesn't report board power, only core power. it's misleading. add at least 80w to the power displayed for the real power. my 6900xt showed 250w at stock but the default board power was 340w i think.
Nah your videos are gold, thanks men!
💪💪🤌
Thanks for benchmarking the cards. Now I'm really content with my RX 6800, no need to look any further. Well, until a new build which is a couple of years off.

Thank you for watching, have a nice day you too :D
Still cant decide between a 7800 XT and a 6950 XT, the price difference is $45-50 in my country (7800XT is cheaper). Newer/less power vs faster rasterization. Running a 3440x1440p screen and an AMD 7600. Suggestions would be appreciated? Is the 7800XT with its new features more worth or does 6950XT still take the lead? Not that very interested in RT overall
6950xt is faster, no doubts there. 7800xt has better power draw and more future features
It's a pitty AMD didn't launch a 5800 XT or 5900 XT or 5850 XT so it will be more confusing to choose a card to buy... at least we have RTX 20 and RTX 30 and RTX 40 equivalents also, new and used... not as many option like the 20 in the perfromance tier of the PS5/1080 Ti/4060... naming could be also improved also by the 7700 XT being the 7800 XT - 1/2 XT or 7750 XT, and the 7800 XT being the 7800 or the 7770 XT... they need more numbers or letter if they are so close in perfromance... clearly the power scaling perfromance graph of the Navi 32 gpus is an interesting topics to see how much OC room and efficiency it really is, to see if there is a justification to buy them over 7600 or 4060, and over 4070... 7900 XT at discounted USA prices with UV/UC is very impressive... a 7850 XT would fit clearly to match and outperfom the 4070 clearly in every aspect...
I was pretty happy with my 6700xt but then I jumped up to a 6800xt and I feel very good about the upgrade
You're good
6700 XT is still the KING in terms of price/performance & power consumption.
Last Gen's 6800 (and UP) GPUs & the new 7000 series have serious power issues @ video playback (youtube, Netflix, video players etc.)
40+ W is stupidly HIGH & meaningless... and while 6700 XT consumes only 16W, the new 7700 XT doubles that power draw with a whooping 33W on "video playback"
AMD should solve that power draw issues @ video playback at least in the next 8000 series. No, I'm NOT UpGrading. I'll stay with RX 6700XT until the next gen.
exactly....higher electricity cost must be evaluated nowadays...like EU are getting slaughtered with high price due to the conflict and above all cost of electricity won't decrease but will only go up....lucky are those countries with oil reserve....
Feels like I just got my 6700xt so it's sad to see it as the worst one in videos. I managed to sell my 5700xt during the GPU crisis (was it 2 years ago now? or 1?). Anyways I sold it for 100$ more than I bought the 6700xt for, I was lucky to find a new card at that time. Gonna hold on to my 6700xt for a while now :D
The new AMD cards seem to be really decent performance-wise and viable options for new builds (7700XT the price has to go down a bit ofc). But with my 6700XT, pretty much the only card Im kinda hyped to upgrade to is Intels BMG-G10 battlemage if its what its expected to be. Imagine a 4080 lvl performance for half the price, it would be insane. But for now Im good and cant wait to see FSR 3.0 on my GPU, since AMD doesnt block their new upscaling tech from "older" cards like Nvidia does 😵💫
Thanks for your work Fabio, our community hero! 😎
Thank you for the words
AMD is literally blocking the driver level frame gen from cards older than 7xxx
@@photlam9769 You won't get HYPR-RX on cards below 7xxx. One click option. You can still uses fsr and fluid motion but they recommend to use amd frame gen on gpus from RDNA2 at least so 6800 and 6700xt are good.
Your right I bought the MSI 4080 Suprim X amazing performance for £900, if battlemage is as performant for £500, AMD and Nvidia will lose market share and margin. Something that these companies deserve, about time there was real competition. Collusion on pricing should be investigated by regulators!

I wanted to get a 6800 originally but it rab out of stock like 1-2 days before i was about to buy it so i had to get the 6700xt. It still makes me sad remembering that.
Action finding choosing a card for my budget of around £500 quiite tricky. In the uk its when you look at 7800xt and 7700xt prices, your choices are premium cooler 7700xt vs budget 7800xt. A decent 6800xt model or saving on a 6800. I dont play many aaa games and never at 4k, i like cool and quiet gpus.
So new gen feature and efficiency vs older value. Premium cooling vs basic.
You are the best source for AMD tipps and information for me! THANKS!
Nice work boss,..
Thanks!
I'm so happy with the extra 4 gigabyte buffer of my 6800.
I have had a MSI gaming trio rx 6800 for nearly a year now and am very happy with the performance and i paid $799aud new. The cheapest Rx 7800 xt is around $900aud which would be what i would upgrade to at the moment for a decent performance upgrade. But i am still inclined to wait and see what the RX 8800xt brings in performance and price. I don't play AAA games so i can hold on for longer before i upgrader my GPU.

Hello in Brazil I found the RX 6800 SWFT brand new but it costs the same price as the RX 7700 XT. I think I'll buy the RX 7700 XT even with 4GB less VRAM
i got a saphire nitro+ 6800 and i amazed to how cool and relatively low power draw this card is.The 7700xt is a good replacement performance wise but the pricing favors the 7800xt
The RX6800 is great... When I play Half Life Alyx with Ultra textures on my Reverb G2 (2600x2600 per eye at a locked 90Hz) the VRAM utilization is around 14.5GB. I can't even begin to express how happy I am that I chose a card with 16GB VRAM. Same with DCS. It utilizes over 14GB as well.... Since you have depth perception in VR, texture quality and resolution become far more important than silly things like RT. :) I couldn't care less about that stuff in its current state.
New, I dont think anything between the 6700xt and 7800xt makes any sense. Used, it just depends on what price you pay. The 7700xt needs to be $429 max.
nice comparison ! many people got it wrong i think with believing the 6800 ist more efficient. but its the software only showing the core draw not the full power draw.thanks for clearing this out! with this in mind rdna 3 has its efficiency right between rdna2 and ada. undervolting and tuning clockspeeds is worth it most of the times. seems that the standart voltages are pretty high with navi 32. now that the idle consumption with high refresh monitors seems to be fixed with the 7700 xt and 7800 xt, they will be a attractive alternative to the 4070 rtx :)
Thanks for noticing

True, but not in all games
I like how I told myself that I have a 6750xt, so it's a no-brainer to keep that one since the performance is decent, but then I remembered that my kitty chewed my HDMI cable, which resulted in several blank green screens and my GPU finally frying. Based on this video, I'd upgrade the Radeon R7 240 4GB that this system is now running on with the 7700XT, but of course I'm curious about the 7800XT...will you be making a video with that one as well, perhaps comparing it to the 4060Ti 16GB and the 4070?
I would if I had it... will compare this one with the 4070 though 💪💪
i have a 6700 xt and consider getting a 6800 for the 4k uplift... on average from 45 to around 60 seems worth it
Get the 6900xt instead if you can

I have 6700XT Red Devil at 2100mhz Vram/2600mhz GPU with SAM on, and it's still a Beast card :D
One thing that never stopped impressing me, the RX 6800 had way less power draw consistently than the newer gpu it traded blows with, and strangely better performance per watt than the rx 6700 xt from its own generation. Both times ive bought an rx 6800 ive seen they undervolt well to deliver really good performance per watt.
remember the RX 6000 series show the core power draw, while the 7000 series show the FULL board power, different things.
But the 6800 tweaked is indeed a great card

Unless the price of RX 7700 XT goes down, then going straight to RX 7800 XT is a better choice for future proofing. But of course, if you are happy with gaming in just 1080p 60fps only, then RX 6700 XT is still a decent choice.
Im looking for a 6800 for 569$ or a 7700 xt for 619$. 6800xt/7800xt here is +100$ minimum. With starfield bundle I may go with the 7700xt for the new tech. It may get better with a few drivers update . I dont expect much but if it get +3-5% better it may be worth the additional 50$

I saw a video where the RX 7700 XT in Red Dead Redemption had random fps drops from 100 to 55 fps in areas where nothing happend no action or anything
Is that a driver issue? Or normal?
Might be. Worked well here
i have a 6700xt and i know this is basphemy i game at 1080p and this card is amazing at that res
You're good
7700xt is very strong, I'd like to see 7800xt results too
Hi Fabio, im thinking of getting a 6800xt from the used market. Do u know any good retailer’s who are offering refurbished gpu’s in a good shape?😄
Hard to know, don't know the american market very well
I have buy today a RX6800 from MSI For 439€ in Mindfactory, my Favorit Game is The Division 2, he use more V-Ram in 4k, Like 13-14 GB. If you can maybe you can test It also?
No it doesn't. I have that game as tested it a lot (played it a lot as well). Used ans allocated vram are different things
Thanks a Lot For your content, un saludo de España
Do you have any video on overclocking an RX 6700 XT?
I do
Guys idk which one to buy, rx 7700 xt or rx 6800 non xt? I mostly play games like rdr2 and warzone 2. ik that rx 6800 is a bit cheaper but im afraid im gonna miss out on something if i don't buy rx 7700 xt.
Listen to what I state in the video mate
Really nice video you biblical amd enthusiast aka... AMD JESUS :D
Thank you haha
6700XT can be found for around 250-280 euro used so I have to say it wins. Edit to add- the value here is going to be when the 7700 XT gets a massive price drop because last gen is sold out and everyone will buy the 7800XT
