Still with 3060 12gb and 1060. Have considered a 7900XTX and PSU upgrades also. It's okay for now, Mostly a result of the 2020 gpu crisis obtanium. My spare computer for home theatre has a better tier psu than my gaming one. It works, raids FSR (goblin raids atm are painful fps dips in WoW), and runs D4 great though, myeh.
i'm waiting on the prices to drop on used 6800xt GPUs but i saw a really slick AM5 Motherboard that has not been released yet that i'm also waiting on - BIOSTAR Racing B650EGTQ mATX
I'm looking to build a 2nd PC that's is dedicated to streaming using AV-1. Could you do a quality comparison / performance between the RTX 4060, RX 7600 and any of Intel's cards? As far as gaming is concerned, I'll probably only use Emulation on it. I am mainly concerned about using it for streaming (will be using NDI on OBS) and video editing. I will be pairing it with my extra CPU that I have which is a Ryzen 5700x I got on sale recently.
Having recently gotten back into building a system, and not paying any attention to the DIY scene for a good 10 years, the fact that 4,6 and even 8 gig video cards where still a common thing just blew me away.
@@domesticdingo1417 WELL, the bloody 4060 ti has 128 bit memory bus, compare this with your 1060 FE which had 192 bit. My GTX 1070 8GB has 256bit memory bus. You can pretty much spend $100 more and get the 4060TI 16GB version, but it's a waste of money, same trash, double the RAM, same 128bit memory bus. You might think memory bandwidth is no big deal, well in many games it is, it can make a difference between stuttering frame rates and smooth game play - it looks like nowadays if you want smooth and high to ultra settings you need to spend thousands of $ on the high end shit that will become obsolete in 6 months.
@@jimmydandy9364 Nah, not thousands. If it's just gaming, the 6800 non-XT is a great option if you pick it up used for 380-400 USD. 60 fps ultra settings most games at 4k, 100+ at 1440p, and 130+ at 1080p. All with 16GB of VRAM. Honestly one if the best priced used GPUs right now for higer-end stuff.
@@jimmydandy9364 Exactly right on the importance of memory bus bandwidth. These 128-bit bus cards are nice for some games, but I'll take a 256-bit or more card all day long. 8gb ram is still fine for any game that isn't mid-2022. Having more vram is nice, but absolutely not necessary. Raytracing is still in its infancy, so imho, not worth worrying about. Even in Cyberpunk it's not really that noticeable on my 3080 12gb and regular raster runs far better. If you're rendering in Blender, then yeah, Nvidia is a better gpu. Apart from that, it's a crapshoot.
Finally decided to move on from the king 1080 TI and I picked up an open box 7900xt for 640$ USD. I can’t be any happier, the card runs like a monster at 1440p gaming
I feel like the 7900xt is an amazing GPU. You made a wise choice! I hope you got an AMD edition those cards are tiny and much more versatile than any other flagship card !!
How far tech has gotten in about 20 years is hilarious. I remember hearing my dad getting excited for 16 megs of ram that was on sale for $250. Fast forward a couple of years. I bought myself a Savage 4 AGP card that had a whopping 8 megs of vram on it.
Real time ray tracing is an incredible thing but right now it's just too expensive, plus the fact most games have it as a gimmick more than an artistic choice.
@@kotztotz3530 Pretty much. In some cases, it's even worse than a gimmick where it doesn't even make any noticeable changes. Either devs implement full-on raytracing like global illumination, shadows, reflections and whatnot, or they just do one feature just to advertise they have it.
Yeah if you play mostly multiplayer games I call it "the shooting at puddles feature". It slows down the card and doesn't give you any gameplay advantage. The only place it gets much use is in a rainy scene. So it's really a flourish not an essential!
We have not yet seen the first ray-tracing dependent game such as a James Bond "Man with the Golden gun" game shooting at somebody in a house of mirrors..
The closest we are to seeing ray tracing being actually used as intented is the path tracing implementation in CP2077, but that thing is still so computationally expensive that an RTX 4090 struggles with it
did you build anew or did you upgrade a previous pc with an older cpu? because i ve been sitting on i7 7700 since 2017 and i dont think i can upgrade without bottlenecking
@@Stavrosstavrosstavros It's a new build, all parts are new. The one with GTX 1050 was a laptop anyway so upgrading wasn't an option. You would definitely have bottleneck on i7 7700 with something like RX 6950 XT or any gpu on that level. Probably around 20-30% bottleneck on 1440p for example.
@@Stavrosstavrosstavros i upgraded from an i5 2500 1050ti to a 7600x 6900xt last month and the jump was huge... keeping an i7 7700 would probably hold you back quite a bit in this range of gpus tho
@@Stavrosstavrosstavros It's all about resolution and game titles. You can keep playing your current games and get improved fps at your current resolution, or increase your resolution and still get those higher frame rates. Just don't expect to play the latest AAA titles with your CPU and get high fps....but if you do play them, then you'd be better off at higher resolutions where the GPU does the heavy lifting.
The 4070 is the only 12GB Nvidia GPU at the 500ish USD price range I'd consider right now just because of how power efficient it is, but it's still way too overpriced.
Yeah it's a little better (not by much) than the 4060 in terms of memory bus but still a bloody joke, all of NVIDIA's 40 series cards are trash essentially, excluding 4080-4090. The 4070 is a 192bit memory bus, the 4060 is complete trash at 128bit bus, what a fucking insult to gamers - Compare this back then when NVIDIA used to release decent mid range cards at the time, the GTX 1070 8GB with 256bit memory bus !!!! We get half the motherfucking bandwidth on the 4060, and the 50 series cards MONSTROSITY is just around the corner with more performance, more power consumption, sky high price and houses burning down (allegedly) because of melting connectors - consumers are not done being fucked in the proverbial arse by NVIDIA.
I think it's not that over priced as it's a 1440p card, I don't think GPUs will go down to how they are priced years ago. So a nvidia Card, A brand new card it's actually decent imo
@@jyaad it's way overpriced, a 1440p card should have 16gb of vram at that price point but it has 12gb and it's just about a 3080 in terms of performance, disappointing in my opinion, if the 4070 was 16gb and 3080 ti performance then it would've been a great deal
Im considering that one for my all white dream PC. I'll try to wait.... But I don't update for 7+ years at a time so I'm wringing my money's worth out no matter what....
I did the same half year ago. I could buy 6700xt (for 1080p) or pay 80-100$ more and get rx 6800. I love this card, every game works amazing on high/ultra settings 1440p and power consumption is low.
I have deliberately decided to buy 6750xt this summer. Reasons being: - Price difference(The card is about 30$ cheaper here than 6700xt for some reason, buying from domestic IT shop for that, I really don't like Amazon/Ebay shipping fees.) - Recommendations(From friends & insight on your video.) - Size(This is the maximum gpu I will be able to fit to my case unless I want to completely buy new one. Buying Sapphire Pulse one cause the overall length of it is 280mm so I am fine.) Thank you for the effort you make.
I have been using a 5700XT for years and I think the 7900XT is just right for my upgrade path. I do have wiggle room for the XTX but I could push for a 7000 series 3D CPU.
On my fresh ITX build I wanted low power and was limited to size constants. So I went with the RX 4070. The performance is just about on par with my 3080ti within about 5%. Best thing is it only uses 1 8 pin PCI connector. Great little card and if the price drops to below $500 grab one.
PC gaming is dying, and it has been for years, which is why only hard core enthusiast remain while the rest progressively moves to handhelds and gaming consoles. Considering the pricing over the last 5 years+, it isn't exactly surprising. This however means that not only are games developed for consoles first, but with PCs now barely in mind. This isn't all that bad considering that many consoles use PC hardware internally, but your PC should at least reach the same specs as these consoles for ports to work well, and if we have a look at them ... : PS 5: - AMD Zen 2 Ryzen Octacore @ 3.5 GHz - AMD RDNA 2 GPU @2.23GHz with 10.3 TF - 16GB GDDR6-RAM ( Shared, 2GB for OS/System, 14GB for everything else ) - 512MB DDR4 RAM ( Low Performance Tasks ) - NVMe SSD Storage Xbox X: - AMD Zen 2 Ryzen Octacore @ 3.66 GHz - AMD RDNA 2 GPU @1.825GHz with 12 TF - 16GB GDDR6-RAM ( Shared, 10GB GPU, 3.5GB App./Game, 2.5GB OS/System ) - NVMe SSD Storage Going from that what you actually need for gaming using currently available new hardware is: - Ryzen 7 4700G, Ryzen 7 5700(X/G), Intel Core i7-10700F - AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT 12GB / NVidia RTX 3060 12GB - 8GB RAM ( 6 doesn't work going dual channel, and Windows should be fed with at least 16GB these days anyhow ) - NVMe SSD Storage 512GB ( Windows has no trouble eating half that after but a couple of month ) ... which also about matches the benchmark based hardware recommendations for mid-range gaming - the one with very good FullHD performance. I'd recommend the Ryzen 5700X or if you are serious the Ryzen 5800X3D though, 32GB DDR4-3600 ( going XMP 3200 ) to get the best out of your system and enough for years to come, and at least 1TB SSD storage because not only does it provide space for avid gamers but also adds to the lifetime of your SSD. Also, price conscious buyers should best avoid both Intel and NVidia, so the "Radeon RX 6700 XT 12GB" would be it.
Planning to build a 1k gaming PC soon. I am looking at PowerColor Fighter Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB for my build. Looking to mostly use the computer for gaming. Seems like a really solid GPU.
My experience with that card across three builds is it is really solid, no complaints. Best value for a higher tier card (although obviously it's not going to outperform the high end of the latest generation... Not that any currently released games need that kind of power.)
Building my first PC at the end of the month. Parts have been purchased and waiting in my closet. I picked up a 6750xt for $295. I bought this without knowing ANYTHING about GPUs. I’m glad the 12gb Ram will be good for at least a little while. I’m excited to see what games will feel like on a PC after gaming for 35years on console.
I was dead set on buying a 7900XT for my new build but found a 4070ti for $600 from Amzn Warehouse...happy to have that card at the price it SHOULD be at.
I want to throw some love to the Rx 6800 non XT. You can get them for $400 and they are damn good. About 12 percent slower than the XT version. And don't look at old benchmarks when looking at it. The drivers have matured so well. Look how it does in modern games. Jedi Survivor 1440p epic settings over 75fps easy. RDR2 maxed settings 1440p over 80fps (I have mine locked to 75fps because that's my refresh rate). Game used over 15gb of vram at 1440p ultra. Everything I've played I've been able to run at 1440p max settings at 75fps. Such a quality card for the price.
Its the best 6000-series card of all time. Highest fps per watt. Super power-efficient for an AMD card. Also extremely good fps per dollar - the BEST for an x800-series card or higher. All around top performer !!
I got mine for $330 inc tax and shipping, just sorry i missed out on the 6800xt for $400 ( Dept store clearance) I have Jedi Survivor on 1440p high settings at 110fps and Warhammer 40k:Darktide at 1440p maxed ( but no RT cause its distrracting) 140+ fps ( just checked adrenalin and its saying last session was 187fps). Do I love my card..hell yes and I really like the software its a big jump from Nvidia's
My mum who is 79 stopped what she was doing and watched a RUclips review of the RTX 4070 with me, I was amazed that she watched the entire thing and afterwards she stated: I don´t know what you should buy but I don´t think there are bad graphic machines (that´s what she called a GPU), it´s the reviewers who are either bad or good ....I can see it´s a jungle out there, how are we supposed to know?
I agree they are less efficient But extra money to buy new one would take years to balance for the money saved in electricity:( 3080 and 4070 save 30 a year..but it cost more to buy. Say if 4070 is ONLY 100 still take 3 years to make up the difference. Which will be the time new gen that more powerful and efficient... It's just not being priced correctly. Used should be half of new and new should be half(or less) that what it is now.
@@tigergutten1 If you live in the EU or other places where energy prices are much worse than the US, it's somewhat of a valid concern. Still more relevant for businesses than individuals though.
thank you so much Jason i am a kid and I'm about to build my own pc i just watched your video step by step how to build a PC in 2023 and i just ordered all the parts thank you so much.❤
I absolutely love how relevant the 1080TI still is, granted you'll miss out on things like ray tracing, DLSS, etc but other than that still handle most games fine.
Sold mine 9 months ago after using it for 4 years. Regret it. Still using my backup card (5500xt). Because nothing worth buying. Especially in my country. Amd has weird issues like wattman error. Nvidia has low vram. Intel is pretty new to gpu market. Im playing lot of indie games too. Dont know what to do.
@@Majesthion I have a 6900 xt that I really like but driver issues (wattman errors like you mentionned, and other things), so I bought a 4070 ti to replace it. Expensive, but it works
I started building my own pc about a month ago so far I have 550 into it and just bought a case for 50. -i5 10400- msi z490 a pro= 40 has 1 broken ram channel reason for price -32 gb ram 36mh new -I'd cooler -3 I'd fans -used evga 750 b3 -new crucial 1tb gen 3 m.2 -new xfx rx 6750 xt -generic new white case Is there anything you guys would do different I bought used to stay with 550 and still get a decent gpu new bought new for warranty
Yeah you could have gone for a R5 5600 and a B550 board. 16gb for Ram would be more than enough and saves money. And 6700xt would be nicer if its inexpensive than a 6750xt. This is my opinion and you still have a decent PC after all.
Thanks I would of gone amd but I couldn't pass up 40 dollars for both mobo and cpu used and your right 16 would of been enough I think the ram I looked at was like a 10 dollar difference for the 32 gb compared to the 16 gb it would of let room for a better case lol
I've been using the RX 5700 XT for 3 years now, it's extremely performant in some games at 1440P and lackluster in some other newer titles at this point. Waited through the crypto mining inflation and pandemic pricing catastrophe for an upgrade, now I'm looking at upgrading to an RX 6800 XT, 6950 XT or maybe a 7900 XT if they come down a bit more in price.
I'm in the same boat, considering an RX 6700 XT or RX 6800 if I find a good price, maybe it will be worth it since mine is the non XT version, and I just got a nice used 1440p monitor at half his original price
I’m going with a 7900 XTX and i’m really excited! I had question though, will i be okay with overclocking with the ASRock B650M-HDV/M.2 Micro ATX AM5 Motherboard
I don't think you have to worry about overclocking - on most motherboards the overclocking is virtually the same on all models - the only difference is the quality and qauntity of the VRM power transistors and caps which only matters to people buying 12 or 16-core cpus. Also since you have micro atx you will only have 2 ram slots - choose wisely !!
@@MobuFPS since it's an am5 motherboard it can potentially last three to five years so I got a pcie 5 motherboard anticipating 1-2 CPU upgrades over the five-year board life...
A really good friend of mine is actually willing to sell me a 7900xtx brand new for $800 because he said he doesn’t have the time to build a pc at the moment. I’m guessing for that price it’s a steal then lol
omg would you please sell it to me? Thanks. I already bought a 7900xtx for my son @ $999, and i need one for myself ... totally future-proof for 5Y for only $160 a year is awesome !!
i just got a 7900xtx red devil power color, for that amount. i didn't have time to build a pc so i payed a tech 65 bucks to do it, sent the pc in on friday got it back on sunday, it was paired with 5800x3d cpu. plays all games at max setting diablo2 ressurected 385 fps max setting 1080p no more freezes or dcing. i dont even need to oc the gpu
Bought a 7900xt to replace my 6700xt and was blown away by the difference. Truly blown away. Paired with a 5800x3d. Was buttery smooth in starfield with ultra settings at 1440p hitting 119 fps which is the limit for my lg 42” oled
Great comparison list! I'm pleased with my new Nvidia RTX 3060 12GB with 3 fans. I don't think people should spend much more than a few hundred pounds/dollars in order to stop these companies being too greedy and stick with their hardware for a good few years to see if they can tempt people with better deals!
I got 6600 XT nitro used at around 185 usd in my area and it runs most of my 1440p games just fine, they're not the latest games, but it certainly new and popular title.
I recently moved to Singapore and the pc parts market has taken some getting used to. I was able to find a used 6700xt for about 260usd and after cleaning and replacing the heat pads with putty it's been working super smooth.
Hey Jason! I have already ordered my parts with the help of your videos and I'm super excited, still waiting on the ram and cpu cooler to finish it, however they should be arriving in a few hours. Keep up the good work and I hope other people will also be able to learn as much as I have.
My 1080ti finally started to die after years of excellent service. I bit the bullet and bought a Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 XT Pulse for £780 GBP. So far I'm really impressed. The last time I bought team red they were called ATI.😊😂
@wendigoslayer86 Over the last month while underload ( gaming ). I would get artifacting and it would make my dual monitors flash for a few seconds till it recovered. The artifacting became more frequent and for longer. I tried all of the basic fault finding/solving such as reseating the GPU memory and cables. I used DDU to perform a clean reinstall of the nvidia drivers. Monitored the temps ect which were all fine. Still it kept happening so I decided to dig out an old GPU (GTX 670) which ran fine. Hence why I bought the RX 7900 XT. I hope that helped . 🙂
Will you ever do a video with buikds that focus on PCs that focus on art/animation, video editing or streaming? Thats what i intend to focus on and I'm having trouble finding info on budget/entry level builds for such PCs
@@soaringje9 I've never heard of his channel but I'll give him a look. It was getting a little frustrating because the only videos I can find about PC's for production were like in the $3K range for high end rigs, which my broke ass can't afford. XD
If it matters to you. Discord support for amd video streaming is still inexistent. Puts the process on your cpu. Had to switch to a 4080 over a 7900 xtx for this.
@@amasrid9432 I'm not sure now, I just know it beat UT. It's om "Ancient Gameplays" channel. He did a comparison with the 6700xt, 6800, and I think it was a 3070.
I built my pc with a Intel a750. I had no complaints except the software wouldn’t work for me. Since I built my pc with an AMD cpu I bought the RX7600. I am playing on a 1080 monitor and have absolutely no issues whatsoever 14 hours into The Last of Us that I got when I bought the gpu. I also had no issues on Jedi Survivor that I got when I bought my ryzen 5 7600. I played both on the highest graphical settings. I really don’t understand what people are complaining about… Granted I’d of liked both to have more than 8gb vram but I’ve yet to experience any issues from them only having 8.
Good to know, through my own research and following one of your videos i recently built myself a budget system with and RX 6600, Ryzen 5 5600, 32 gig ram and a 550 motherboard linked in your video, upgraded from a GTX 970 and intel 2700k, Star Citizen on low graphics now runs SOOOOO smooth for me :) (I'm at 1080p btw)
From someone who has been using a GTX 1050 2 GB since it's launch and still using it today, it would be honestly amazing to have 6 GB of VRAM from for example a 2060, I'm sure that needing to put my game on medium graphic setting would not bother me since I've been doing it for the past years 😮💨
What's funny is that I was JUST gonna pull the trigger on an AMD card...until I realized that the program I'm upgrading my setup for (Touch Designer) has a LOT of applications I'd lose access to without RTX. Hands are kind of tied in that sense. I know the 4060 is a 'bad card' but since I'm coming from a laptop 1050ti it should still be better than what I've got.
Great vid as always Jason! I think when I build my computer I will probably get a used 6800, £360 at a local used store which is pretty good considering the 16GB vram.
6800 is perhaps the BEST 6000-series card of all !! It is the most power-effficient (fps per watt is lowest), and the fps per dollar is very very high for its cost level!! You are future-proofed with 16GB of RAM. Wise choice!!
i bought a "used" Asus Tuf Gaming RTX 3070 8gb for 330€ in its original box, looking like brand new, from a guy in a second hand shop in spain For someone who had a 1Gb gtx 550 card from 2011, all this time, i think its a pretty safe step up :P
Where is the A770, since you are locking out the A750 from higher than 1080p arbitraily despite it beating the RTX 3060, it's sad to not see the 16GB A770.
I bought a 4070 Ti within an hour of it going on the market, because I didn't want to risk scalper prices and another selling out an inavailablility for years. Silly me in hindsight maybe. I wanted ray tracing while using DLSS quality to ensure smooth high FPS at 1440P. That while only playing single player games. Very much looking forward to Starfield.
Ive heard of some gamers buying the Xbox Series X (native keyboard + mouse support) with ray tracing, 1440P/4k to play Starfield. Been some sweet deals too ranging from $350-$450.
Currently building a PC, that I will order this week. Seeing the RTX 4090 at less than $1600 made me laugh. Looking at my cart, having the cheapest 4090 in my country, priced at $2100, starts crying.
Great Video! However, strictly from an upgrade viewpoint, I do not agree with "If you're spending around 1100 dollars on a 4080, then you might as well go ahead and find a couple hundred bucks to get a 4090" due to the 4090 requiring more power than a 4080, thus forcing most people to get a new power supply. I upgraded to a 4080 from a 3060ti and did not need to upgrade my 750 W PSU (more than enough power!). So, if you are reading this and are looking upgrade your GPU to play 4K and don't want to spend an extra $600 + ~$200 for the 4090 plus new PSU, the 4080 is perfect for 4K gaming!
Quick question. Are you using your pc for just gaming or other purposes? Because me personally for solely gaming I’m not spending over 1000$ on a gpu because it’s not a good investment. You’re better off just budgeting for a weaker but much cheaper card because 4k is so playable these days
My EVGA 3080 still holds its own at 1440p. I’ve been waiting on news of a 4080Ti, but I’m thinking about going for a 7900XTX, instead. The price drops for the AMD are very tempting. Great video,mate!!
Awesome video !!! I would love to see some content about SFF pc build best cpu and gpu ( those who don’t get too hot )and also the best Mini itx board because am trying to build an SFF pc for 1440p for around 1200-1400$ but is harder than i thought 😂
AMD has developed for some years now.. There's a lot of specs and juice that it offers, apart from the DDR 4,8, and Cores processor infinite process. Making and upgrading specs should all be configured from time to time, depending on your O.S, security O.S config, and some manual boot for some programs to run, hardwares not to crash, and most HANDHELDS to be as Configurable.
In testing, there is only at max a 1-2% difference when testing Gen 3 vs Gen 4 on a x8 PCIE GPU. It's still plenty of bandwidth. Cutting down to PCIE Gen 4 x4 is brutal though as we saw with the RX 6500 XT.
Cards here on out should be sold with a minimum of 10gb. I'm prob going to end up picking up a A770 if i can find one for a decent price. Curious about their performance first hand
I purchased an Asrock OC Phantom 8GB A770 on Wednesday, it arrived today and I'm having buttery smooth FPS at 60 or over so far on Witcher 3 Next Gen, BL2 with bells and whistles, Warframe at 1080p. With exception of Warframe, they've all been super smooth, ofc I'm still modifying all my settings, but at the ultra preset I noticed no stutter at all on Witcher. In a way I'm kicking myself for not picking up a 16GB version, but the value of the 8GB Asrock edition seemed too good to refuse, honestly.
@@Asymmetrical-Saggin Yeah, I bought it with the (perhaps misguided) hope that it could be another workhorse for many years, akin to what the GTX 970 was for me, prior.
I have played games like plague tale requiem, resident evil 4 remake, the last of us. They all ran well My specs Ryzen 5 1600X Ram 16gb DDR4 3600mhz Asus Dual RX 6600 8gb There is absolutely no need to waste money on expensive hardware, I play most of my games on high 1440p and its mostly a smooth 60 fps and above experience. If it's lower than that I just switch to 1080p high settings.
Yeah I’m curious to see the 7700 and 7800. I’m really wishing, though not really expecting, the 7800 to be around the same performance as a 6950 for less power draw and around same price, hopefully less
@@CyberneticArgumentCreator This is not really true, if you water cool a 7900 xtx you can hit 3300 Mhz and crush a 4090. Already been done! They probably just didn't want to cherry pick the CU's or alternately, go from 6 to 7 CU's to guarantee 4090-crushing performance. Frankly spending $2000 on a video card is stupid.

Hello Jason. I feel that a good video idea would be your opinion on when it makes sense for a consumer to take the jump to the next tier of gaming experience. Like, if it really worth to spend on a better 1080p rig when you already have something that can deliver 1080p60, or given the price x performance, is a better idea to get a 1440p60 rig instead. Or if 1440p60 is valuable enough to upgrade from 1080p60 when the difference is only really noticeable if you go all the way to 1440p144. Love your videos, the only part I'm missing to get a new PC is the "number" that comes after the $ sign haha, in my currency, low-mid tier GPUs are no less than 1.5k "stones".
Been watching your videos for months now Jason! First weekend playing on my first PC build! Lian Li 216 7700x Gigabyte b650 32gb g skill trident z5 neo (30 cas) Asrock 6950xt Formula OC Deepcool lt720 M.2 PCIe gen 4 980 pro Corsair rm1000x Couldn't be happier with it! Thank you for all your helpful information!
I think frame genaration gets overlooked here it is a game changer to often double your framerate and you will not notice the extra milisecends in the games supporting it. I played Cyberpunk with frame gen and I found it to be very good, but AMD is also cooking something up with FSR 3 so it might not be a selling point a few years down the road.
not enough games with DLSS3. its a selling point only for 4000 series cards. anyone with anything less than a 3080 12GGB is struggling in games. which is a messed up way to make people upgrade. nvidia literally sold people a rebranded 3060TI as a 4060TI except now you can use DLSS3 and yet nvidia users complain about a 7600 beating out a 6650XT and they say thats messed up when the 7600 replaces a 6600. lmfao
im currently in the process of building a pc and im looking at the 6800 or 6800xt but im waiting for the new 7000s equivalent so they drop price? hopefully soon 😅
I have the Suprim X, but haven't used it yet in a build. Looks good and from what I see one of the better performing cards (they are all quite close unless liquid cooled).
Actually it is a cut down version of the AD102 die. That is why people keep talking about a Titan GPU coming, but I think NVIDIA is going to pipe it all into professional GPUs for the big AI boom. We'll see!
THANK you for making this. 14:41 to 17:24 was the most helpful for me since I'm aiming for 1440p 144hz. The fact that you recommend 4070/Ti for 240hz tells me that's exactly what I'm looking for.
I upgraded form a 1070 to a 4070. I want the rt performance, dlss and dlaa also, which is significantly better than fsr. 12gig vram is enough for 1440p including rt, 16 gig vram isn't needed for 1440p. I could have bought a used 3090 for the same price (with no warranty) ,however I would have had to get a bigger case and bigger psu.
I think ray tracing is the least valuable feature of the NVidia cards. How often are you shooting at puddles? I mean, lots of games have simulated ray tracing and to actually have the chance to use it you need to be playing in the rain ... Still I got a 3070 Ti - partly because of the NVidia extras (NVENC, CUDA, RT) - partly because i could win that horrifically inefficient model during the NewEgg shuffle ...
I want the 4080 graphics card, does it matter about the brand, There Is Asus, Zotac, Msi, Pny, and Gigabyte, those are the ones that i see. And some of the graphics cards Say OC, what does that differ from the one that does not, Also Will GDDR6X work with everything else being ddr5 such as the mother board and the rest of stuff, Can you please help me and tell me the best brand and I also saw that If you buy it off Nvidia website, the graphics card has 2 fans but if you buy it off of any other brands i listed it has 3 fans.
Holy crap… a computer build video that’s straight to the point, easy to follow, talks exactly about what it says it does, and takes no detours. Thanks!!
I bought a rx6900 xtx. I've got zero idea if its good or not. Hoping when I get a sec to throw it in I didn't screw up. Now, onto the video to see if I'm a moron!
I bought a basically brand new Open Box 6900XT for $600, almost 2 years ago, and its been my Go-To ever since. I'm just waiting for a 7800XT launch now.
@@KamaroTheN7the 6900XT is a power-hog, and is loud AF when running anywhere close to 80%+, so if the the 7800XT is similar, but more efficient, id gladly upgrade
I don't think you'll be any happier with a 7800xt. Usually the first 2 digits of the card are the performance level so 6+9 = 15 = 7+8 so the performance will be the same. The ONLY upside will be the AV1 encoder and H.264 hardware encoder (for twitch live streaming) in the 7000-series cards. And right now 7000-series cards don't run VR drivers very well so that will be a downside.
i would consider adding the 3070 on the list as it performs great with 1440 ultra settings and still has high fps especially when you can take advatage with a high hertz monitor not to mention for the price i picked this gpu up for a steal at 200 bucks cant complain plays every game out there and looks and feels amazing
guys i have ryzen 7 5700 x, PSU 650w ,16 GB RAM 3200 mhz,NZXT kraken x63 cooler and NZXT H510 elite case now i want to buy GPU and honestly i'm stuck between rtx 3060 TI or Rx 6700 xt,can you recommend me a couple of best GPU with best brands for my mentioned build ?
6700 XT is the easy choice there. 12GB of VRAM and is actually faster in rasterization than the 3060 Ti. Don't buy 8GB GPUs for more than $250-ish in 2023 IMO.
@@PCBuilderChannel alright i will listen to your advice just tell me about brand,would you buy rather Rx 6700 xt Asus Dual OC or Rx 6700 Xt Sapphire Nitro + or some other brand you recommend,i wanted red devil so bad but it is out of stock everywhere
definitely get the 12GB card like the 6700xt/6750xt. Apparently consoles are now offering 12GB to cards and so many games ported over from consoles need 12GB to run properly. "The Last of Us" and "Harry Potter" and a few other games are some of the first examples of this problem.
@@AbdullahPodrug-yw8ji Definitely the Sapphire Nitro. But if Asus is cheaper, then get the ASUS one. Both have good cooling. Or the XFX merc if you can.
I got a all gen 3 PC. GTX 1080TI and a I7-8700K and it plays COD 2.0 on 4k @60 basic settings, 1440P @144 on extreme settings, and it doesn't skip a beat. I do keep it clean and fresh thermal pads and Paste every 2 years or so, and of course some new fans and Overclocked ram. Evo 970 plus. temps stay about 73c on GPU and around 63c on the CPU while playing COD. It almost dont make sense lol
I have to disagree tonsome extent. Even gpus with 4gb of vram can run many of the wildly popular games like counterstrike, valorant, overwatch2, apex legends and other games like that. I sell budget pcs localy and theres always some mom out their with a really small budget and a kid that wants to play one of these games. These 4gb, 6gb and 8gb cards go a very long way for me.
Definitely depends on the games you want to play, and we actually go over this in more depth in our last Q&A video. I'm just hesitant to recommend people spend too much money on something that limits them in the future, people can always change their minds on what games they want to play!
No, don't get an RX580. I say this as a buyer of Rx580 in 2017. DirectX 12.1 won't support Rx580, it's missing some sort of shading feature that is essential.
even with my 6700xt 12GB. i can't max out the settings for RE4 remake on 1080p. if i force it to go to red zone for VRAM. there is bugs and errors that happens. that's why i kinda not satisfied with my 6700xt 12GB. i think i want to sell it to get at least 6800xt with 16GB of vram. but that cost almost double my 6700xt price. probably gonna wait till 6800xt is cheaper to purchase. before i buy one and sell my 6700xt.
I was just about to order a Red Devil 6900 XT Ultimate second hand for 450$ (around 900 levs) here in Bulgaria. But then i said wait a minute: I can save up a bit more and get the Red Devil 7900 Xt And that`s what i did :). I am saving
My sons birthday is in a couple weeks and ended up getting him a 6800 xt. I was hoping the 6900s would have came down a little bit more in price and I would have gone for one of those instead. He has been running one of my old mining 270x cards so it is going to be a major leap in performance for him and allow him to make use of the 1440 monitor he has. As for the old 270 it will probably get refurbished and live out the rest of it life in a dedicated sdr machine.
I don't know, arbitrarily choosing a GPU (in this case a R 570) to compare price to performance to me isn't the correct metrics one should use to choose best price to performance. Would rather see the metrics base on several factors based on price, FPS performance, functions and features & use case, but hey that's just me
Rx580/570/560 - DirectX 12.1 has announced that they won't be supporting these cards so it's not a good card to own right now. My son had an Rx580 from 2017 so I got him an upgrade to 7900xtx ...
Hi Jason love your channel. Could you point me one of your builds for a 1080 gamer build? I'm upgrading from a GPU: GTX 1070 Founders Edition PNY, 16GB Corsair Led 3200MHz ASrock AB350 Pro4?
I bit the bullet and finally upgraded from 1080ti to 4090. Also from ryzen 1700x to 7800x3d, so hopefully that system will last at least as long as the previous one, 6,5 years. Havent seen any meaningful graphical improvement in games of the last 8 years tbh, but the requirements continue to skyrocket, so gotta sacrifice.
Happy new year to you and the family have a plex server I started up and wanted to add a GPU for Hardware transcoding and for a little gaming at 1080p I have i5 12600k with a MSI pro B760M-A wifi ddr4
I have a question: I am not a gamer and I built an HTPC computer to run cool and silent with a fanless 600w power supply. I have a Gigabyte B650I AORUS Ultra mini-ITX motherboard and AMD Ryzen 7700 APU. My question is: would I see any difference in my videos that I watch or my pictures, if instead of using the motherboard built in graphics I buy a video card? And if so, which one would you recommend that I won't need a second mortgage for and can be used with a 600w power supply? Thank you in advance!
What do you think about the 3060ti? I’ve always heard that it outperforms the 3060 non-ti 12GB version, even though it only has 8GB of VRAM. I personally have a 3060ti and am wondering if the 8GBs of VRAM are still considered better than the 12GBs from the non-ti model.
I was considering a 3060Ti 18 months ago. It's a 3070 GPU with a narrow memory bus to slow it down. And it produces something like 33% more teraflops (16 vs. 12) compared to the 3060. But today, 8GB GPUs are a huge mistake. You'd be much much better-off with a 6700 xt, or 6750 xt, with 12 GB. I have a 3070 Ti which I am thinking of trading for a 16GB GPU because I know it will be too limited very very soon ...
@@jakek3653 I have to agree I almost bought a 3060 Ti but I won the newegg shuffle and got the 3070 Ti for the same overpriced amount during the covid shortages ...

What is your GPU situation? What GPUs are you looking at? What features do you use? Tell your story in a new comment below.
Still with 3060 12gb and 1060. Have considered a 7900XTX and PSU upgrades also. It's okay for now, Mostly a result of the 2020 gpu crisis obtanium. My spare computer for home theatre has a better tier psu than my gaming one. It works, raids FSR (goblin raids atm are painful fps dips in WoW), and runs D4 great though, myeh.
Waiting for 7950xtx, any news? Bought 6700xt to sit out, great GPU ngl.
i'm waiting on the prices to drop on used 6800xt GPUs but i saw a really slick AM5 Motherboard that has not been released yet that i'm also waiting on - BIOSTAR Racing B650EGTQ mATX
I'm looking to build a 2nd PC that's is dedicated to streaming using AV-1. Could you do a quality comparison / performance between the RTX 4060, RX 7600 and any of Intel's cards?
As far as gaming is concerned, I'll probably only use Emulation on it. I am mainly concerned about using it for streaming (will be using NDI on OBS) and video editing. I will be pairing it with my extra CPU that I have which is a Ryzen 5700x I got on sale recently.
Why did you exclude the RTX 4070 TI?
Having recently gotten back into building a system, and not paying any attention to the DIY scene for a good 10 years, the fact that 4,6 and even 8 gig video cards where still a common thing just blew me away.
I bought the 1060 founder's edition in 2015, with 6GB of VRAM
Today in 2023 you can get the 4060ti with... 8GB of VRAM lol
@@domesticdingo1417 WELL, the bloody 4060 ti has 128 bit memory bus, compare this with your 1060 FE which had 192 bit. My GTX 1070 8GB has 256bit memory bus. You can pretty much spend $100 more and get the 4060TI 16GB version, but it's a waste of money, same trash, double the RAM, same 128bit memory bus. You might think memory bandwidth is no big deal, well in many games it is, it can make a difference between stuttering frame rates and smooth game play - it looks like nowadays if you want smooth and high to ultra settings you need to spend thousands of $ on the high end shit that will become obsolete in 6 months.
@@jimmydandy9364 Nah, not thousands. If it's just gaming, the 6800 non-XT is a great option if you pick it up used for 380-400 USD. 60 fps ultra settings most games at 4k, 100+ at 1440p, and 130+ at 1080p. All with 16GB of VRAM. Honestly one if the best priced used GPUs right now for higer-end stuff.
@@jimmydandy9364 Exactly right on the importance of memory bus bandwidth. These 128-bit bus cards are nice for some games, but I'll take a 256-bit or more card all day long. 8gb ram is still fine for any game that isn't mid-2022. Having more vram is nice, but absolutely not necessary. Raytracing is still in its infancy, so imho, not worth worrying about. Even in Cyberpunk it's not really that noticeable on my 3080 12gb and regular raster runs far better. If you're rendering in Blender, then yeah, Nvidia is a better gpu. Apart from that, it's a crapshoot.
I guess i will keep my good old 1070 ti for a while.
Finally decided to move on from the king 1080 TI and I picked up an open box 7900xt for 640$ USD. I can’t be any happier, the card runs like a monster at 1440p gaming
I feel like the 7900xt is an amazing GPU. You made a wise choice! I hope you got an AMD edition those cards are tiny and much more versatile than any other flagship card !!
where from?
I got it at $800. It’s when it first came out. Got $640! Super super good deal
Which cpu would you pair with this gpu?
Nice. I'm currently shopping for an upgrade for my 980ti. There's a deal out for a free copy of Starfield if you buy an AMD GPU.
How far tech has gotten in about 20 years is hilarious. I remember hearing my dad getting excited for 16 megs of ram that was on sale for $250. Fast forward a couple of years. I bought myself a Savage 4 AGP card that had a whopping 8 megs of vram on it.
This, very much this!
@Blue it’s crazy that SSD’s that had half that capacity were over a $100 not too long ago
hilariously bad or hilariously good
@@L9MN4sTCUk increasing features and complexity
I can relate to that. I remember when we thought $1 per MEG (meg, not gig) of HDD capacity was a great deal.
Went with an RX 6750 XT for my upgrade recently. For the slightly discounted price of $369, seems to be a nice mix of performance, features and price.
If you're willing to do used GPUs, the 6800 non-XT is about 20 USD more and a better buy.
I did consider that card but I didn't want that extra power and heat. Still a good card. But I ended up with a 6700xt for 300usd new.

Real time ray tracing is an incredible thing but right now it's just too expensive, plus the fact most games have it as a gimmick more than an artistic choice.
RT is definitely the future but I agree that most games it's just a gimmick. I've played Control with RT and it doesn't look any better with it on.
@@kotztotz3530 Pretty much. In some cases, it's even worse than a gimmick where it doesn't even make any noticeable changes. Either devs implement full-on raytracing like global illumination, shadows, reflections and whatnot, or they just do one feature just to advertise they have it.
Yeah if you play mostly multiplayer games I call it "the shooting at puddles feature". It slows down the card and doesn't give you any gameplay advantage. The only place it gets much use is in a rainy scene. So it's really a flourish not an essential!
We have not yet seen the first ray-tracing dependent game such as a James Bond "Man with the Golden gun" game shooting at somebody in a house of mirrors..
The closest we are to seeing ray tracing being actually used as intented is the path tracing implementation in CP2077, but that thing is still so computationally expensive that an RTX 4090 struggles with it
I went from GTX 1050 to RX 6950 XT a month ago and it's been great :D
Nice!

@@Stavrosstavrosstavros It's a new build, all parts are new. The one with GTX 1050 was a laptop anyway so upgrading wasn't an option. You would definitely have bottleneck on i7 7700 with something like RX 6950 XT or any gpu on that level. Probably around 20-30% bottleneck on 1440p for example.
@@Stavrosstavrosstavros i upgraded from an i5 2500 1050ti to a 7600x 6900xt last month and the jump was huge... keeping an i7 7700 would probably hold you back quite a bit in this range of gpus tho
@@Stavrosstavrosstavros It's all about resolution and game titles. You can keep playing your current games and get improved fps at your current resolution, or increase your resolution and still get those higher frame rates. Just don't expect to play the latest AAA titles with your CPU and get high fps....but if you do play them, then you'd be better off at higher resolutions where the GPU does the heavy lifting.
The 4070 is the only 12GB Nvidia GPU at the 500ish USD price range I'd consider right now just because of how power efficient it is, but it's still way too overpriced.
Yeah it's a little better (not by much) than the 4060 in terms of memory bus but still a bloody joke, all of NVIDIA's 40 series cards are trash essentially, excluding 4080-4090. The 4070 is a 192bit memory bus, the 4060 is complete trash at 128bit bus, what a fucking insult to gamers - Compare this back then when NVIDIA used to release decent mid range cards at the time, the GTX 1070 8GB with 256bit memory bus !!!! We get half the motherfucking bandwidth on the 4060, and the 50 series cards MONSTROSITY is just around the corner with more performance, more power consumption, sky high price and houses burning down (allegedly) because of melting connectors - consumers are not done being fucked in the proverbial arse by NVIDIA.
I think it's not that over priced as it's a 1440p card, I don't think GPUs will go down to how they are priced years ago. So a nvidia Card, A brand new card it's actually decent imo
@@jyaad it's way overpriced, a 1440p card should have 16gb of vram at that price point but it has 12gb and it's just about a 3080 in terms of performance, disappointing in my opinion, if the 4070 was 16gb and 3080 ti performance then it would've been a great deal

I have deliberately decided to buy 6750xt this summer. Reasons being:
- Price difference(The card is about 30$ cheaper here than 6700xt for some reason, buying from domestic IT shop for that, I really don't like Amazon/Ebay shipping fees.)
- Recommendations(From friends & insight on your video.)
- Size(This is the maximum gpu I will be able to fit to my case unless I want to completely buy new one. Buying Sapphire Pulse one cause the overall length of it is 280mm so I am fine.)

PC gaming is dying, and it has been for years, which is why only hard core enthusiast remain while the rest progressively moves to handhelds and gaming consoles.
Considering the pricing over the last 5 years+, it isn't exactly surprising.
This however means that not only are games developed for consoles first, but with PCs now barely in mind. This isn't all that bad considering that many consoles use PC hardware internally, but your PC should at least reach the same specs as these consoles for ports to work well, and if we have a look at them ... :
PS 5:
- AMD Zen 2 Ryzen Octacore @ 3.5 GHz
- AMD RDNA 2 GPU @2.23GHz with 10.3 TF
- 16GB GDDR6-RAM ( Shared, 2GB for OS/System, 14GB for everything else )
- 512MB DDR4 RAM ( Low Performance Tasks )
- NVMe SSD Storage
Xbox X:
- AMD Zen 2 Ryzen Octacore @ 3.66 GHz
- AMD RDNA 2 GPU @1.825GHz with 12 TF
- 16GB GDDR6-RAM ( Shared, 10GB GPU, 3.5GB App./Game, 2.5GB OS/System )
- NVMe SSD Storage
Going from that what you actually need for gaming using currently available new hardware is:
- Ryzen 7 4700G, Ryzen 7 5700(X/G), Intel Core i7-10700F
- AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT 12GB / NVidia RTX 3060 12GB
- 8GB RAM ( 6 doesn't work going dual channel, and Windows should be fed with at least 16GB these days anyhow )
- NVMe SSD Storage 512GB ( Windows has no trouble eating half that after but a couple of month )
... which also about matches the benchmark based hardware recommendations for mid-range gaming - the one with very good FullHD performance.
I'd recommend the Ryzen 5700X or if you are serious the Ryzen 5800X3D though, 32GB DDR4-3600 ( going XMP 3200 ) to get the best out of your system and enough for years to come, and at least 1TB SSD storage because not only does it provide space for avid gamers but also adds to the lifetime of your SSD.
Also, price conscious buyers should best avoid both Intel and NVidia, so the "Radeon RX 6700 XT 12GB" would be it.
Planning to build a 1k gaming PC soon. I am looking at PowerColor Fighter Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB for my build. Looking to mostly use the computer for gaming. Seems like a really solid GPU.
67xx XT series are great 👍
My experience with that card across three builds is it is really solid, no complaints. Best value for a higher tier card (although obviously it's not going to outperform the high end of the latest generation... Not that any currently released games need that kind of power.)
Don't overspend on any particular 6700 XT, they are all quite good.
A great value GPU
@@PCBuilderChannel Do you think that Ryzen 5600 is enough for that GPU?
Building my first PC at the end of the month. Parts have been purchased and waiting in my closet. I picked up a 6750xt for $295. I bought this without knowing ANYTHING about GPUs. I’m glad the 12gb Ram will be good for at least a little while. I’m excited to see what games will feel like on a PC after gaming for 35years on console.
Where did you get the card at that price, I’m buying that card too.
6750 xt is around 400-500 Euro with tax
Th 6700xt is at 330-480 Euro with tax
Also depends if you want it from Gigabyte, PowerColor or Saphire
I was dead set on buying a 7900XT for my new build but found a 4070ti for $600 from Amzn Warehouse...happy to have that card at the price it SHOULD be at.
congrats!
600 is still overpriced though
600 for a ti is crazy, the cheapest non ti version of 4070 here is 600€
6700XT is a banger. 144 fps 1080p and 60+ fps 1440p on ultra/high setting or 144 fps on high/medium settings (in most games)
I want to throw some love to the Rx 6800 non XT. You can get them for $400 and they are damn good. About 12 percent slower than the XT version. And don't look at old benchmarks when looking at it. The drivers have matured so well. Look how it does in modern games. Jedi Survivor 1440p epic settings over 75fps easy. RDR2 maxed settings 1440p over 80fps (I have mine locked to 75fps because that's my refresh rate). Game used over 15gb of vram at 1440p ultra. Everything I've played I've been able to run at 1440p max settings at 75fps. Such a quality card for the price.
i agree 6800 is awesome
Damn, I paid $450. I just couldn't justify the 6800xt power draw.
I just got mine for $350. And I’m very satisfied with the purchase
Its the best 6000-series card of all time. Highest fps per watt. Super power-efficient for an AMD card. Also extremely good fps per dollar - the BEST for an x800-series card or higher. All around top performer !!
I got mine for $330 inc tax and shipping, just sorry i missed out on the 6800xt for $400 ( Dept store clearance) I have Jedi Survivor on 1440p high settings at 110fps and Warhammer 40k:Darktide at 1440p maxed ( but no RT cause its distrracting) 140+ fps ( just checked adrenalin and its saying last session was 187fps). Do I love my card..hell yes and I really like the software its a big jump from Nvidia's
I brought GTX 1050ti. And I am still able to run most of the games. But with lesser settings. Still I am satisfied.
The other thing to mention on the high end is the amount of wattage used by these cards. 6950XT will use 500W at full load when a 4070 will use 200W
My 6950xt is using 350w max. Mostly it’s under 300 while gaming.

My mum who is 79 stopped what she was doing and watched a RUclips review of the RTX 4070 with me, I was amazed that she watched the entire thing and afterwards she stated: I don´t know what you should buy but I don´t think there are bad graphic machines (that´s what she called a GPU), it´s the reviewers who are either bad or good ....I can see it´s a jungle out there, how are we supposed to know?
The thing about older high-end GPUs is that their power consumption is insane. You'll see the difference on your monthly bill
Kinda proven that that isn't a good argument for not buying an older high end card. On average it's negligible different in actual money.
I agree they are less efficient
But extra money to buy new one would take years to balance for the money saved in electricity:(
3080 and 4070 save 30 a year..but it cost more to buy. Say if 4070 is ONLY 100 still take 3 years to make up the difference. Which will be the time new gen that more powerful and efficient... It's just not being priced correctly. Used should be half of new and new should be half(or less) that what it is now.
glad that the company i work with handles bills ....

Yeah you could have gone for a R5 5600 and a B550 board. 16gb for Ram would be more than enough and saves money. And 6700xt would be nicer if its inexpensive than a 6750xt.
This is my opinion and you still have a decent PC after all.
Thanks I would of gone amd but I couldn't pass up 40 dollars for both mobo and cpu used and your right 16 would of been enough I think the ram I looked at was like a 10 dollar difference for the 32 gb compared to the 16 gb it would of let room for a better case lol
I've been using the RX 5700 XT for 3 years now, it's extremely performant in some games at 1440P and lackluster in some other newer titles at this point. Waited through the crypto mining inflation and pandemic pricing catastrophe for an upgrade, now I'm looking at upgrading to an RX 6800 XT, 6950 XT or maybe a 7900 XT if they come down a bit more in price.
I have just picked up a sapphire 6650xt as the price is ridiculously good value with new discount on overclockers uk. £237 with delivery.
7800xt is supposedly around the corner. Might be a good option for a lower power draw at 6950xt performance levels.

I'm in the same boat, considering an RX 6700 XT or RX 6800 if I find a good price, maybe it will be worth it since mine is the non XT version, and I just got a nice used 1440p monitor at half his original price

I don't think you have to worry about overclocking - on most motherboards the overclocking is virtually the same on all models - the only difference is the quality and qauntity of the VRM power transistors and caps which only matters to people buying 12 or 16-core cpus. Also since you have micro atx you will only have 2 ram slots - choose wisely !!

It’s a great 1440p card. I know he’s complained about the VRAM very possibly not being enough for even 1440p Highest textures in the near future.
Hey Jason! I have already ordered my parts with the help of your videos and I'm super excited, still waiting on the ram and cpu cooler to finish it, however they should be arriving in a few hours. Keep up the good work and I hope other people will also be able to learn as much as I have.

@wendigoslayer86 Over the last month while underload ( gaming ). I would get artifacting and it would make my dual monitors flash for a few seconds till it recovered. The artifacting became more frequent and for longer.
I tried all of the basic fault finding/solving such as reseating the GPU memory and cables. I used DDU to perform a clean reinstall of the nvidia drivers. Monitored the temps ect which were all fine.
Still it kept happening so I decided to dig out an old GPU (GTX 670) which ran fine.
Hence why I bought the RX 7900 XT.

I played both on the highest graphical settings. I really don’t understand what people are complaining about…
Granted I’d of liked both to have more than 8gb vram but I’ve yet to experience any issues from them only having 8.
Good to know, through my own research and following one of your videos i recently built myself a budget system with and RX 6600, Ryzen 5 5600, 32 gig ram and a 550 motherboard linked in your video, upgraded from a GTX 970 and intel 2700k, Star Citizen on low graphics now runs SOOOOO smooth for me :) (I'm at 1080p btw)

Best bang for the buck.
From someone who has been using a GTX 1050 2 GB since it's launch and still using it today, it would be honestly amazing to have 6 GB of VRAM from for example a 2060, I'm sure that needing to put my game on medium graphic setting would not bother me since I've been doing it for the past years 😮💨

i bought a "used" Asus Tuf Gaming RTX 3070 8gb for 330€ in its original box, looking like brand new, from a guy in a second hand shop in spain
For someone who had a 1Gb gtx 550 card from 2011, all this time, i think its a pretty safe step up :P
Went from a 1060, doing 1080 to a 6700xt doing 1440p, very happy with the 6700xt
Where is the A770, since you are locking out the A750 from higher than 1080p arbitraily despite it beating the RTX 3060, it's sad to not see the 16GB A770.
The drivers on Intel cards are still not that good. They are like the older unstable drivers that gave AMD a bad name ....
I bought a 4070 Ti within an hour of it going on the market, because I didn't want to risk scalper prices and another selling out an inavailablility for years. Silly me in hindsight maybe. I wanted ray tracing while using DLSS quality to ensure smooth high FPS at 1440P. That while only playing single player games. Very much looking forward to Starfield.
it is an amazing 1440p card, (well, price aside)
I’ve got one too. It bums me to see him not Include or Like the card persay, but I totally understand
It seems to run 4k Decently well too
Ive heard of some gamers buying the Xbox Series X (native keyboard + mouse support) with ray tracing, 1440P/4k to play Starfield. Been some sweet deals too ranging from $350-$450.
Currently building a PC, that I will order this week. Seeing the RTX 4090 at less than $1600 made me laugh. Looking at my cart, having the cheapest 4090 in my country, priced at $2100, starts crying.

Hi Jason, what’s a good GPU for Ryzen 5700x? Mainly play FPS games, some MMOs, and action games on 1080P. Thanks!
For a gaming only build, the RX 6800xt is the minimum. Depends on your budget and preference.
You can pair that up to a 7900XT or 4070ti. So I'd go for the best that fits your budget (:
if ur gonna stick with 1080p i recommend 6700xt
Thanks for the replies, will keep in mind!
If you are only gonna do 1080p you can squeeze by with a 6700xt or 6750xt.
Great Video! However, strictly from an upgrade viewpoint, I do not agree with "If you're spending around 1100 dollars on a 4080, then you might as well go ahead and find a couple hundred bucks to get a 4090" due to the 4090 requiring more power than a 4080, thus forcing most people to get a new power supply. I upgraded to a 4080 from a 3060ti and did not need to upgrade my 750 W PSU (more than enough power!). So, if you are reading this and are looking upgrade your GPU to play 4K and don't want to spend an extra $600 + ~$200 for the 4090 plus new PSU, the 4080 is perfect for 4K gaming!
Quick question. Are you using your pc for just gaming or other purposes? Because me personally for solely gaming I’m not spending over 1000$ on a gpu because it’s not a good investment. You’re better off just budgeting for a weaker but much cheaper card because 4k is so playable these days
@@Boogieman618 Strictly for gaming, 4080 will last me another 5-6 years at least for 4k gaming so to me that's a great investment 🤷♂

AMD has developed for some years now.. There's a lot of specs and juice that it offers, apart from the DDR 4,8, and Cores processor infinite process. Making and upgrading specs should all be configured from time to time, depending on your O.S, security O.S config, and some manual boot for some programs to run, hardwares not to crash, and most HANDHELDS to be as Configurable.
Great vids as always ❤ wta about pcie 4 lanes bus x8 vs x16 is there any difference? Because the RX7600 running at x8 instead x16 pcie4
In testing, there is only at max a 1-2% difference when testing Gen 3 vs Gen 4 on a x8 PCIE GPU. It's still plenty of bandwidth. Cutting down to PCIE Gen 4 x4 is brutal though as we saw with the RX 6500 XT.

Hello Jason. I feel that a good video idea would be your opinion on when it makes sense for a consumer to take the jump to the next tier of gaming experience.
Like, if it really worth to spend on a better 1080p rig when you already have something that can deliver 1080p60, or given the price x performance, is a better idea to get a 1440p60 rig instead.
Or if 1440p60 is valuable enough to upgrade from 1080p60 when the difference is only really noticeable if you go all the way to 1440p144.

I think frame genaration gets overlooked here it is a game changer to often double your framerate and you will not notice the extra milisecends in the games supporting it. I played Cyberpunk with frame gen and I found it to be very good, but AMD is also cooking something up with FSR 3 so it might not be a selling point a few years down the road.
Fake frames + huge input lag
not enough games with DLSS3. its a selling point only for 4000 series cards. anyone with anything less than a 3080 12GGB is struggling in games. which is a messed up way to make people upgrade. nvidia literally sold people a rebranded 3060TI as a 4060TI except now you can use DLSS3 and yet nvidia users complain about a 7600 beating out a 6650XT and they say thats messed up when the 7600 replaces a 6600. lmfao

I have the Suprim X, but haven't used it yet in a build. Looks good and from what I see one of the better performing cards (they are all quite close unless liquid cooled).
Actually it is a cut down version of the AD102 die. That is why people keep talking about a Titan GPU coming, but I think NVIDIA is going to pipe it all into professional GPUs for the big AI boom. We'll see!
THANK you for making this. 14:41 to 17:24 was the most helpful for me since I'm aiming for 1440p 144hz. The fact that you recommend 4070/Ti for 240hz tells me that's exactly what I'm looking for.

Imagine the option to compress games textures to solve AAA titles memory issue while waiting for them to find a solution to bad memory allocation...
I upgraded form a 1070 to a 4070. I want the rt performance, dlss and dlaa also, which is significantly better than fsr. 12gig vram is enough for 1440p including rt, 16 gig vram isn't needed for 1440p. I could have bought a used 3090 for the same price (with no warranty) ,however I would have had to get a bigger case and bigger psu.
I think ray tracing is the least valuable feature of the NVidia cards. How often are you shooting at puddles? I mean, lots of games have simulated ray tracing and to actually have the chance to use it you need to be playing in the rain ... Still I got a 3070 Ti - partly because of the NVidia extras (NVENC, CUDA, RT) - partly because i could win that horrifically inefficient model during the NewEgg shuffle ...
1080p is my go to mode. The other are just glorified visuals, but the 1080p is fast & efficient. My 3080Ti is supreme for this mode 💕
3080ti is extreme overkill for 1080p
I want the 4080 graphics card, does it matter about the brand, There Is Asus, Zotac, Msi, Pny, and Gigabyte, those are the ones that i see.

I bought a basically brand new Open Box 6900XT for $600, almost 2 years ago, and its been my Go-To ever since. I'm just waiting for a 7800XT launch now.
Nice!
But why, you need more ray tracing performance?
@@KamaroTheN7the 6900XT is a power-hog, and is loud AF when running anywhere close to 80%+, so if the the 7800XT is similar, but more efficient, id gladly upgrade
@@IceNinja2007 Fair enough, you can always sell and get some money back.
I don't think you'll be any happier with a 7800xt. Usually the first 2 digits of the card are the performance level so 6+9 = 15 = 7+8 so the performance will be the same. The ONLY upside will be the AV1 encoder and H.264 hardware encoder (for twitch live streaming) in the 7000-series cards. And right now 7000-series cards don't run VR drivers very well so that will be a downside.
i would consider adding the 3070 on the list as it performs great with 1440 ultra settings and still has high fps especially when you can take advatage with a high hertz monitor not to mention for the price i picked this gpu up for a steal at 200 bucks cant complain plays every game out there and looks and feels amazing
It's a good card but the problem is it only has 8gb of vrm in 2023
guys i have ryzen 7 5700 x, PSU 650w ,16 GB RAM 3200 mhz,NZXT kraken x63 cooler and NZXT H510 elite case now i want to buy GPU and honestly i'm stuck between rtx 3060 TI or Rx 6700 xt,can you recommend me a couple of best GPU with best brands for my mentioned build ?
6700xt at any brand. Depends if you do gaming only or with some productivity on the side.
6700 XT is the easy choice there. 12GB of VRAM and is actually faster in rasterization than the 3060 Ti. Don't buy 8GB GPUs for more than $250-ish in 2023 IMO.
@@PCBuilderChannel alright i will listen to your advice just tell me about brand,would you buy rather Rx 6700 xt Asus Dual OC or Rx 6700 Xt Sapphire Nitro + or some other brand you recommend,i wanted red devil so bad but it is out of stock everywhere
definitely get the 12GB card like the 6700xt/6750xt. Apparently consoles are now offering 12GB to cards and so many games ported over from consoles need 12GB to run properly. "The Last of Us" and "Harry Potter" and a few other games are some of the first examples of this problem.
@@AbdullahPodrug-yw8ji Definitely the Sapphire Nitro. But if Asus is cheaper, then get the ASUS one. Both have good cooling. Or the XFX merc if you can.
I got a all gen 3 PC. GTX 1080TI and a I7-8700K and it plays COD 2.0 on 4k @60 basic settings, 1440P @144 on extreme settings, and it doesn't skip a beat. I do keep it clean and fresh thermal pads and Paste every 2 years or so, and of course some new fans and Overclocked ram. Evo 970 plus.
temps stay about 73c on GPU and around 63c on the CPU while playing COD. It almost dont make sense lol
I appreciate the sentiment from the 4080 to the 4090, BUT I couldnt find the extra few hundred. This 4080 is a monster.
I have to disagree tonsome extent. Even gpus with 4gb of vram can run many of the wildly popular games like counterstrike, valorant, overwatch2, apex legends and other games like that. I sell budget pcs localy and theres always some mom out their with a really small budget and a kid that wants to play one of these games. These 4gb, 6gb and 8gb cards go a very long way for me.
Definitely depends on the games you want to play, and we actually go over this in more depth in our last Q&A video. I'm just hesitant to recommend people spend too much money on something that limits them in the future, people can always change their minds on what games they want to play!
In USD, new, and of course imo

No, don't get an RX580. I say this as a buyer of Rx580 in 2017. DirectX 12.1 won't support Rx580, it's missing some sort of shading feature that is essential.
even with my 6700xt 12GB. i can't max out the settings for RE4 remake on 1080p. if i force it to go to red zone for VRAM. there is bugs and errors that happens.
that's why i kinda not satisfied with my 6700xt 12GB. i think i want to sell it to get at least 6800xt with 16GB of vram.
but that cost almost double my 6700xt price. probably gonna wait till 6800xt is cheaper to purchase. before i buy one and sell my 6700xt.
I snagged a gigabyte Rx6600 for $179 along with TLoU part 1 for free. Thankfully I don't play a lot of the newest game titles.
What about the 7800 xt ? Isn't it the same as a 6800 xt? And it's also overclocked. Can I replace 6800 with a 7800 ?
They weren't out at the timing of this video.
I have a micro atx case, I currently have a 3060ti v2 mini, what mother board and cpu would be a great upgrade choice?
Depends on what you're doing with the PC
I was just about to order a Red Devil 6900 XT Ultimate second hand for 450$ (around 900 levs) here in Bulgaria.
But then i said wait a minute:
I can save up a bit more and get the Red Devil 7900 Xt
And that`s what i did :). I am saving
My sons birthday is in a couple weeks and ended up getting him a 6800 xt. I was hoping the 6900s would have came down a little bit more in price and I would have gone for one of those instead. He has been running one of my old mining 270x cards so it is going to be a major leap in performance for him and allow him to make use of the 1440 monitor he has. As for the old 270 it will probably get refurbished and live out the rest of it life in a dedicated sdr machine.
I don't know, arbitrarily choosing a GPU (in this case a R 570) to compare price to performance to me isn't the correct metrics one should use to choose best price to performance.
Would rather see the metrics base on several factors based on price, FPS performance, functions and features & use case, but hey that's just me
Rx580/570/560 - DirectX 12.1 has announced that they won't be supporting these cards so it's not a good card to own right now. My son had an Rx580 from 2017 so I got him an upgrade to 7900xtx ...
Hi Jason love your channel. Could you point me one of your builds for a 1080 gamer build? I'm upgrading from a GPU: GTX 1070 Founders Edition PNY, 16GB Corsair Led 3200MHz ASrock AB350 Pro4?
I bit the bullet and finally upgraded from 1080ti to 4090. Also from ryzen 1700x to 7800x3d, so hopefully that system will last at least as long as the previous one, 6,5 years. Havent seen any meaningful graphical improvement in games of the last 8 years tbh, but the requirements continue to skyrocket, so gotta sacrifice.
Happy new year to you and the family have a plex server I started up and wanted to add a GPU for Hardware transcoding and for a little gaming at 1080p I have i5 12600k with a MSI pro B760M-A wifi ddr4
I have a question: I am not a gamer and I built an HTPC computer to run cool and silent with a fanless 600w power supply. I have a Gigabyte B650I AORUS Ultra mini-ITX motherboard and AMD Ryzen 7700 APU. My question is: would I see any difference in my videos that I watch or my pictures, if instead of using the motherboard built in graphics I buy a video card? And if so, which one would you recommend that I won't need a second mortgage for and can be used with a 600w power supply? Thank you in advance!
What do you think about the 3060ti? I’ve always heard that it outperforms the 3060 non-ti 12GB version, even though it only has 8GB of VRAM. I personally have a 3060ti and am wondering if the 8GBs of VRAM are still considered better than the 12GBs from the non-ti model.
I was considering a 3060Ti 18 months ago. It's a 3070 GPU with a narrow memory bus to slow it down. And it produces something like 33% more teraflops (16 vs. 12) compared to the 3060. But today, 8GB GPUs are a huge mistake. You'd be much much better-off with a 6700 xt, or 6750 xt, with 12 GB. I have a 3070 Ti which I am thinking of trading for a 16GB GPU because I know it will be too limited very very soon ...
Just bought a 3060Ti, definitely worth the extra $80-$100 then getting the 3060.
@@jakek3653 I have to agree I almost bought a 3060 Ti but I won the newegg shuffle and got the 3070 Ti for the same overpriced amount during the covid shortages ...
