The 6700XT is still the best entry-level 1440p card (in my opinion), as it can be found at a steady $250 used, in some cases I've seen it drop to $220 which is honestly a huge W.
Not just your opinion it still is if a base Rx 6700 can do med high ( sometimes just high ) settings 60fps on 1440p on intensive games the Rx 6700XT/50XT can do better
couldn't agree more. or the 6800 non xt for the right price is unbelievable. went from an asrock 6800 toa 7900xt reference and was honestly disappointed in real world gaming performance differences at 1440p 144hz
honestly the 7800xt is definitely on the high end for 1440p. i got my girl a 6750xt for 4k gaming and it does just fine. unless you are trying to get 100+fps minimum there is no reason you cant go for a cheaper card that has 16gb vram.

I got told I was being dramatic when I bought my 7900 XTX 7 months ago for basically this reason, it's nice to hear others acknowledging the absurdity of what we need to consider for future proofing right now
And the only reason is, because the big AAA companies cant be asked to properly optimise their games. There is no way, you should be having to build a 2-3k gaming PC, just to play 1440p...
@roarbahamut9866 oh I agree, but yet here we are in a world that is happy to see an end to native optimization in favor of frame generation and whatever other shortcuts can be jammed into the games being produced. At least I'm extra prepped in case this blows up in their face within the next year or 2 and we go back to normal expectations
They have launched. I own one for awhile now, they're great and all but also expensive. Was considering AMD. But since my 5700 and high temps on a 5700xt that I've placed an AIO on I didn't really want to risk AMD and their high heat but for the price to performance I've seen on them they're great cards as well
@@waynemarsh7775 depends on the board partner - had a sapphire 5700XT nitro+ and temps were just fine, switched to a sapphire 7900gre a few weeks ago and that card goes barely beyond 70°C even when playing for hours - all with air cooling.
Radeon has also the 7900 GRE .... you could not overclock it .... but with the recent update you CAN overclock. And is only 10% more expensive than the 7800 XT.
you could overclock it from the beginning, just not the vram where it mattered the most with a vram bandwith starved card like this. But yeah, now you can and that's good ;)

@@Rolfhn hi, sorry I didn’t see this earlier. So according to the TriXX software right now I’m running Jedi survivor on high settings and it’s pulling about 250 watts of power. I went with the Corsair SF1000L power supply. It’s a smaller power supply in terms of size because I built in the Lian Li O11 mini case so I needed a smaller psu. I bet if you went 850 watts tho instead of 1000 you’d be totally fine, I just went a bit over to be safe and the price difference was negligible. I hope this helps!
a 3060 12gb is still getting beat by a 3060 ti with 8gb if the gpu don't have the power in the future when the vram is needed it wont matter how much vram it has the 4080 super will still beat a xtx with only 16 gb of vram. vram isn't the only factor with gaming the power of the card means alot to. Look at the 3090 it has 24 gb and is getting the same performance as a 4070 ti right now and the 4070 ti super will beat a 3090 ti with only 16 gb and the 4070 super 12 gb will be faster than a 3090. so having more vram don't always mean better. in the long term to many people forget the power of the card makes a big difference.
It's not actually about performance it's mainly about the stutters if you pass you VRAM limit you might get some small stutters here and there and that can be kinda annoying but ye VRAM really doesn't matter
@@davidfrazier6308 no it isn't, you can optimize as much as you want but the higher fidelity the textures are and the more rays are rendered, the more vram they need, there's no way around it.
I kinda disagree, the increased vram requirements are a consequence of the new gen consoles which aren't gonna be using more than 12gb as Vram so it should be fine till the next gen. As most games aren't gonna be including textures that the PS5 can't use. For example in 2014 everyone was freaking out that shadow of mordor required 6gb at ultra, people claimed that it would only go up and 8gb wouldn't be enough b4 long. But in reality 6gb was fine for the whole generation, as that was around the amount used by the PS4. So personally I wouldn't be freaking out about Vram, it's the kind of requirement that goes up gen on gen not year on year, so you should be fine with 12gbs. That being said if you're still using the 10gb 3080 I'd consider moving on, it might be ok but your pushing it.
Finally someone speaks the facts. I would also add the terrible optimization of games, and it all started with Cyberpunk, and lo and behold, that game is still talked about. In general, I think it's best to buy the generation of gpu that comes out right after the new consoles, because there's a good chance that the gpu will last the entire generation as well. I think that 3080is still very usable, at least until the 5000 gen
As i love and wish AMD the best, 4070super is a monster in 3d editing compared to AMD cards. Gaming is perfect probably on both, but 4070s render things 2x faster than 7800xt. If i was about gaming only i would buy AMD no second thoughts.
@@szaka9395The render thing is heavily dependent on the program. I challenged my buddy to render a 16K image on his rig in Blender (5700x + 4070 Super) and it took his rig the exact same total time as my rig (2700x + 6800xt). We used the same Blender file with the same render settings. His render finished in 23 minutes, the denoising took 4 minutes. My render finished in 20 minutes, and the denoising took 7.

@@mohannadalmalki3986Although true, the 6000 series likely won’t be phased out for a while, especially cards like the 6700xt and up that are meant to be able to handle 1440p, let alone cards like the 6950XT which on the gpu hierarchy is right up there with 3090’s and their TI variants, and there’s no way Nvidia is dropping support for 30 series anytime soon. So I don’t see AMD making that move either… as it’d simply make no sense when competing against Nvidia
@@mohannadalmalki3986 Driver support will be about the same as the architectual differences are minimal - just like the late GCN cards like the 500 an vega series got axed at the same time.
6950xt is actually the same price as 7800xt at microcenter right now. It has extra performance and the same vram, if you don't mind going last gen. I picked it up for my new PC at $550 to go with my ryzen 7 7800x3d.
The 7600XT has the same GPU die and cores as the 7600, it's very likely to perform very similar to it. Definitely won't outperform the similarly priced 6700XT.
I'm coming out of the left by buying an Intel A770 (16GB VRAM)... I got it for a steal off ebay, and it performs better than most people think due to lots of good driver optimizations and more games using DirectX12
If you want to stay on Team Green for NVIDIA DLSS, low latency, etc get the RTX 4070 Ti Super. It will have 16GB of VRAM and more cuda cores and more performance than the current 4070ti, all at the same price of $800 The RTX 4070 Ti Super is coming on Jan. 24th.

@@Scurzes if you can get a 3080ti, I’d highly recommend it. I have the msi ventus card and it’s never given me issues. It performs great at 4k. I’ve been loving it
If you're in the PC Gaming arena. You've got to recoup the value of your used GPU towards a new one. I went from a 1070 Ti, to a 3070, returned that, got the 4070 Ti, sold that, got a 4080. All cards except the 4070 Ti were used. I play @1440p 144Hz and have no plans of doing 4K on a PC monitor.
Basically if you're getting new and in most cases used AMD low end, mid range and high end. Nvida is only good at top of the line with rtx 4090 being the only choice in that category...
The one you can afford. Personally I think 1440p is a sharp enough resolution for a 27 inch desktop monitor. Even with a maxed budget I would still go 1440p. Only difference between cards now are the amount of upscaling you need to use so as long as it has enough vram you are probably fine
Ryzen R5 7600 is really your best option. More than fast enough for the rtx 3060, is affordable and comes with a stock cooler, and will future proof your build because you'll have a AM5 motherboard.
i only have 4gb vram ;O. i mainly play on my ps5 and only games like LoL on my pc, so it doesnt really matter right now. but still, its interesting how much power games require nowadays.
Rx6800 is around £350 and performs perfectly fine in my build for 1440p. I run most games on high settings and getting max frames on my 144hz monitor. It also has 16gb vram for a 2 year old card
Got my GTX 3060 TI off of eBay and I have a i5 11400F and my games new and old run so much better. I could even run them at their highest settings at 1440p at over 100 FPS. It's very smooth.
Im building myself another "future proof" PC because the last one I built. (8700k + 1070) just doesnt cut it for modern AAA games even at low settings. I just know my 7900xtx and 7950x3d will do the job
My 4070TI has no problem playing cyberpunk 2077 on 4K resolution with add 120 frames per second everything maxed out. Let alone any other game you can only imagine how much better it
I’d get a 3060 for tripple A games since its a cheap card now at 300 or below and it’s consistently good and can handle some games right now for 4k but idk about future planning in like 4 years time with gta6 and new open world games like far cry as well
Last year I was doing 1440p AAA with a 1660 super and played fine with games released up to that year. Before that I had an R9 390x. Now i have a 6800 which is working great.
If history shows us anything, I think one of two things will happen with VRAM: Either developers are going to get way more efficient in their usage of memory to where much less VRAM is needed in cards. OR. Adding VRAM and improving each VRAM generation will become cheap + good enough to outpace the game developer’s usage of VRAM, thus making it an obsolete discussion with future cards. Picture the 6060 releasing with 24 GB or something.
Did he just said the 4070 ti is "Decent". We should stop this elitism into pc build, 4070ti is a great card for 1440p, and it will still be in the next 5 years...
Most people have 8gb or less vram and are running at 1080p according to steams hardware survey, so if you’re just an average gamer, your 8GB card will still last you a good amount of time. Also, you don’t have to run max settings on every game, if a game runs sluggish on your gpu on max settings then just turn the settings down.
Think about it like this: when i got my 1070 people told me i was wasting money if i didnt game in 4k when i played in 1080p. I play modern games at 1080p and im getting somewhat decent performance. Whatever you choose, know that its a matter of time.
Nowadays the 7900 gre can be found for only a few bucks extra, or even the exact same price as was my case, and it outperforms the 7800 xt in every game. I'd highly recommend considering it instead
I had a VRAM problem with TLOU. While i don't have the required VRAM, I was able to atleast launch it before. It turns out the problem was with the latest nvidia driver to which I had to downgrade. Now I was able to play it and with frame gen and FSR available I played it all in 60 fps with my 1660ti at medium to high settings.
Great info. What I'm curious about is would it be better to go Nvidia for the sake of DLSS and pay the extra money, or are AMD and Intel better and the lack of DLSS still provides an enjoyable experience for most folks?
I personally have a rtx 4070 for my 1440p setup and i cannot complain. I can run stuff like Cyberpunk with maxed out settings (no path tracing tho) and get a stable 100-120 fps.
The RTX 4080 (or the 4080 Super) is a terrible purchase for playing at 1440p. Not because it can't do 1440p gaming (it can do so extremely well), but because it's too expensive to not be getting it for 4K gaming. If you want 1440p, the RX 6800 or RX 6800 XT would be my recommendation. The 1440p performance you get for the price is outstanding. Seriously, they've aged extremely well over the last 4 years and I imagine they'll hold their own at playing the newest releases at 1440p for quite a while longer. Only get the 4080 or 4080 Super if you want great performance at 4K, but the 4090 is way out of your budget range.
RX 7600 XT is a good choice, a robust card with good performance both in FHD and 1440p (on ultra settings of course) with 16 GB of VRAM. It also only costs 300-330$ which makes it an incredible budget choice.
I'd honestly recommend an 8gb GPU (on the used market anyway). It's not that the low vram isn't a big issue, or that it won't hurt the future-proofing, it's just that the market already bakes this into the price, and imo, takes it into account wayyy too much considering the vast majority of games are fine with 8gb. You'd have to pay such a premium for no immediate jump in performance, and you can always turn textures down a notch if a game demands too much ram.
The Vanilla RX 6800 can be found for about $350 used. For that price, you get great 1440p gaming and solid efficiency.
More like 300 to 320, at least where i live

I got told I was being dramatic when I bought my 7900 XTX 7 months ago for basically this reason, it's nice to hear others acknowledging the absurdity of what we need to consider for future proofing right now

@roarbahamut9866 oh I agree, but yet here we are in a world that is happy to see an end to native optimization in favor of frame generation and whatever other shortcuts can be jammed into the games being produced.

How much power does it takes while gaming? Mind to share which psu do you have?
@@Rolfhn hi, sorry I didn’t see this earlier. So according to the TriXX software right now I’m running Jedi survivor on high settings and it’s pulling about 250 watts of power. I went with the Corsair SF1000L power supply. It’s a smaller power supply in terms of size because I built in the Lian Li O11 mini case so I needed a smaller psu. I bet if you went 850 watts tho instead of 1000 you’d be totally fine, I just went a bit over to be safe and the price difference was negligible. I hope this helps!
Just got the same GPU but I paired it with a Ryzen 7700x do you think I’m good to enjoy 1440p with decent fps?
a 3060 12gb is still getting beat by a 3060 ti with 8gb if the gpu don't have the power in the future when the vram is needed it wont matter how much vram it has the 4080 super will still beat a xtx with only 16 gb of vram. vram isn't the only factor with gaming the power of the card means alot to. Look at the 3090 it has 24 gb and is getting the same performance as a 4070 ti right now and the 4070 ti super will beat a 3090 ti with only 16 gb and the 4070 super 12 gb will be faster than a 3090. so having more vram don't always mean better. in the long term to many people forget the power of the card makes a big difference.
It's not actually about performance it's mainly about the stutters if you pass you VRAM limit you might get some small stutters here and there and that can be kinda annoying but ye VRAM really doesn't matter
@@sumstopidshet5045 dude the 3060 ti also dont stutter with only 8gb its all about how they optimize there games
@@davidfrazier6308 no it isn't, you can optimize as much as you want but the higher fidelity the textures are and the more rays are rendered, the more vram they need, there's no way around it.
@@davidfrazier6308
3060 Ti doesn't stutter, for as long as the game doesn't exceed 8 GB vram that is.
That kind of resolution and gaming absolutely has to go to the best of the best, in all of PC gaming powerhouses. Hands down! 💯💯😱😎
Looking towards the 7900 GRE it has really good performance for value
I kinda disagree, the increased vram requirements are a consequence of the new gen consoles which aren't gonna be using more than 12gb as Vram so it should be fine till the next gen.
As most games aren't gonna be including textures that the PS5 can't use.
For example in 2014 everyone was freaking out that shadow of mordor required 6gb at ultra, people claimed that it would only go up and 8gb wouldn't be enough b4 long.
But in reality 6gb was fine for the whole generation, as that was around the amount used by the PS4.
So personally I wouldn't be freaking out about Vram, it's the kind of requirement that goes up gen on gen not year on year, so you should be fine with 12gbs.
That being said if you're still using the 10gb 3080 I'd consider moving on, it might be ok but your pushing it.
Finally someone speaks the facts. I would also add the terrible optimization of games, and it all started with Cyberpunk, and lo and behold, that game is still talked about. In general, I think it's best to buy the generation of gpu that comes out right after the new consoles, because there's a good chance that the gpu will last the entire generation as well. I think that 3080is still very usable, at least until the 5000 gen
As i love and wish AMD the best, 4070super is a monster in 3d editing compared to AMD cards. Gaming is perfect probably on both, but 4070s render things 2x faster than 7800xt. If i was about gaming only i would buy AMD no second thoughts.
@@szaka9395The render thing is heavily dependent on the program. I challenged my buddy to render a 16K image on his rig in Blender (5700x + 4070 Super) and it took his rig the exact same total time as my rig (2700x + 6800xt).

If history shows us anything, I think one of two things will happen with VRAM:
Either developers are going to get way more efficient in their usage of memory to where much less VRAM is needed in cards.
OR.
Adding VRAM and improving each VRAM generation will become cheap + good enough to outpace the game developer’s usage of VRAM, thus making it an obsolete discussion with future cards. Picture the 6060 releasing with 24 GB or something.
Did he just said the 4070 ti is "Decent". We should stop this elitism into pc build, 4070ti is a great card for 1440p, and it will still be in the next 5 years...
Most people have 8gb or less vram and are running at 1080p according to steams hardware survey, so if you’re just an average gamer, your 8GB card will still last you a good amount of time. Also, you don’t have to run max settings on every game, if a game runs sluggish on your gpu on max settings then just turn the settings down.
Think about it like this: when i got my 1070 people told me i was wasting money if i didnt game in 4k when i played in 1080p. I play modern games at 1080p and im getting somewhat decent performance. Whatever you choose, know that its a matter of time.

Nowadays the 7900 gre can be found for only a few bucks extra, or even the exact same price as was my case, and it outperforms the 7800 xt in every game. I'd highly recommend considering it instead
Intel arc a770: Hold my beer
I had a VRAM problem with TLOU. While i don't have the required VRAM, I was able to atleast launch it before. It turns out the problem was with the latest nvidia driver to which I had to downgrade. Now I was able to play it and with frame gen and FSR available I played it all in 60 fps with my 1660ti at medium to high settings.
I was hell-bent on getting a 4090 so I wouldnt have to upgrade for at least 7 years but it looks more and more like the 7900 XTX is for me
Great info. What I'm curious about is would it be better to go Nvidia for the sake of DLSS and pay the extra money, or are AMD and Intel better and the lack of DLSS still provides an enjoyable experience for most folks?
I personally have a rtx 4070 for my 1440p setup and i cannot complain. I can run stuff like Cyberpunk with maxed out settings (no path tracing tho) and get a stable 100-120 fps.
That's why I bought a 3090Ti for 700 bucks two years ago when they were getting rid of it lmao
The RTX 4080 (or the 4080 Super) is a terrible purchase for playing at 1440p. Not because it can't do 1440p gaming (it can do so extremely well), but because it's too expensive to not be getting it for 4K gaming.
If you want 1440p, the RX 6800 or RX 6800 XT would be my recommendation. The 1440p performance you get for the price is outstanding. Seriously, they've aged extremely well over the last 4 years and I imagine they'll hold their own at playing the newest releases at 1440p for quite a while longer.
Only get the 4080 or 4080 Super if you want great performance at 4K, but the 4090 is way out of your budget range.
The 7900XT works great in 4k you don't need to go all the way to the XTX you can get the merc 310 for like 720.
RX 7600 XT is a good choice, a robust card with good performance both in FHD and 1440p (on ultra settings of course) with 16 GB of VRAM. It also only costs 300-330$ which makes it an incredible budget choice.
Exact card I got for the exact reasoning!!! Running every game luv wit it!!!!
Me running with a 2060 on 1440p triple a gaming
Only 12 gb of vram :me with my HD 7550m with 1gb😅😅
I started with a 4gb 3050 mobile, upgraded to a 6800 for 1080p, swapped to a 6900xt for 1440p, best 1440p ultra card hands down
I'd honestly recommend an 8gb GPU (on the used market anyway). It's not that the low vram isn't a big issue, or that it won't hurt the future-proofing, it's just that the market already bakes this into the price, and imo, takes it into account wayyy too much considering the vast majority of games are fine with 8gb. You'd have to pay such a premium for no immediate jump in performance, and you can always turn textures down a notch if a game demands too much ram.
