RX 7700XT - Which model to pick?

[Ruru]

Well keep in mind I Have a 4090 in my 4k pc and a 3080ti in my 1440p pc and then it starts to make sense why I would use the card for 1080p.

Everyones ok level of performance varies.

Depends on the game but I almost always target at stable 60fps

For online shooters I usually use lower details to max out the fps

Everyone has their own bar for how they want their machines to perform and if you are happy with your hardware it means absolutely nothing how I feel about the hardware.

I like the 6700XT/6750XT I think it's the best card under 400 usd right now a major reason I chose one for a budget keeping up with AMD drivers build.

 

[BillyF]

What about used RX 6800? Must be cca 300 USD give or take and will be as fast as 7700 XT. 6800 non-XT usually don't die so it's a low-risk investment. Saved money could be used to get an i7-11700.

Honestly i wud prefer buying brand new..

I might get an i7-10700 for free, but anyway a cpu is also a thing I wanna upgrade next on the road.

as for Nvidia - It would be 4060ti 16GB for the same price

That's a hell na over the 7800XT.

 

[BillyF]

I think I'd go with the 7800 for the long run as I wanna finalize the order already and it seems the 6750XT don't have the BEST Price-Performance deal over here.
pairing an I7-10700 would also benefit some boost and later on the road in few month's I wud pair a next Gen CPU/MOBO.

 

[Shou Miko]

yep as much as I went thru my max budget it's definitely worth it long-time wise.

This are the prices:

7700XT:
-Sapphire Radeon RX 7700 XT PULSE 12GB GDDR6 (638$)
-Sapphire Radeon RX 7700 XT NITRO+ OC 12GB GDDR6 (648$)
-Sapphire Radeon RX 7700 XT PURE OC 12GB GDDR6 (656$)
-Gigabyte Radeon RX 7700 XT 12GB GAMING GDDR6 (661$)

7800XT:
-Sapphire Radeon RX 7800 XT PULSE 16GB GDDR6 (726$)
-Sapphire Radeon RX 7800 XT PURE OC 16GB GDDR6 (750$)
-Sapphire Radeon RX 7800 XT NITRO+ OC 16GB GDDR6 (778$)

So for our discussion the Pulse version wid be fine?

I might also get an i7-10700 soon so the bottleneck will reduce by some I guess.

I have always been a Sapphire fan when it comes to AMD card but also tried PowerColor's Red Devil and their Hell Hound cards should be awesome too.

But for my RX 7900 XT I wasn't able for the price I paid max about 640USD for the XFX Radeon RX 7900 XT Merc310 card and it's actually a fine card and XFX just shipped me the anti-sag bracket to me and really awesome and friendly customer service.

 

[Vayra86]

It's indeed a 100-120$ difference BUT, the card is gonna be paired with i5-10400 and Corsair PSU 750w RMx, wouldn't the card get bottlenecked?
The PSU will handle it?
Thanks!

*I've just noticed there's a dedicated AMD forum so I'm sorry for posting in the wrong section..

Irrelevant, you get the GPU now and you unlock the rest of its grunt when you upgrade your platform. Alternatively, you sell off the GPU to recoup your 50 bucks later. Its a no brainer in this case, the 7700XT isn't positioned well.

And yet still I play at 4K with my 6700 XT

Yeah I ran almost everything at 3440x1440 on a 1080... its possible. Playable even, and not even at low settings or below native res.

You do you. I saved a couple RTX 4090 worth of money buying used GPUs here and there. Of course all that quid went kaput for some reason... that's why what I own is a puny 6700 XT.

I'm doing it for over a decade already and it's only two used GPUs died earlier than I'd stop even pretending to care. R7 370, dead in a couple months. Some old 8800 Ultra or something along those lines, dead in a couple weeks. One GPU, namely an R9 380X, died on me because of me being a dumbass. I forgot to check what PSU I'm plugging this GPU to... Other than that, completely sound experience. All you need is skill to check GPUs for suspicious activity, sellers for hiding the truth and yourself for actually having more spare time than money.

pure is show white. just go all out for the nitro+ triple slot goodness.

 

[Cowboystrekk]

At 4k 7800XT is 22% faster according to TPU whilde powerconsumption is only a few watts higher. This means paying up to 22% more seems worth it

 

[BillyF]

I went for the 7800XT Pure as in the store it had abit of discount which almost was as the Pulse version.

Thanks guys for the time and support!

I think it's a good choice and you'll be happy.

Have fun and enjoy!

Thank you mate! keen to see how it performs right after my GTX1650 Super Haha

 

[Avro Arrow]

Poor choice of words I value how a card performs in something like CP2077 PL with RT more than I value how general rasterization performance is although There are a lot of other factors I weight like how much the card cost anything under the 4070 I wouldn't want to use with RT and honestly even then I would use a 4070 at 1080p or 1440p with DLSS quality.

I wasn't trying to admonish you, I was just trying to help out. There are so many people who think that RT and Raster are completely different things and it's not their fault because a lot of YouTubers talk about RT performance vs. Raster performance as if they're different things. I don't know if they're trying to make it easier to understand or they don't even understand it themselves.

off topic though but the 7800XT is a very good 1440p card and a great 1080p card saving 100 and grabbing the 7700XT isn't the most terrible choice but the OP probably want's to keep the card for a long while seeing as they still have a 10 series based platform so I would go with the faster card I could afford. Save up and do the platform next down the road if that is an option.

How good a 6700XT is depends on how much it cost in his country.

I believe that the OP is in Australia because he said that the RX 7800 XT is $100-$120 more expensive than the RX 7700 XT there. That means he's from a country that uses dollars. I'm Canadian and I know that here, the RX 7800 XT is exactly $100CAD more than the RX 7700 XT and not a nickel more. The price delta in Australia however is $120AUD. I suggested that he's Australian and he didn't contradict me. I recommended the RX 6750 XT because it's less expensive than the RX 6700 XT right now for some odd reason.

I suggested that as well but he's in Australia and just gaming at 1080p and 1080p ultra-wide. Even the RX 6800 would be way overkill for that.

Yeah.... Don't even think of doing that. The RTX 4060 Ti 16GB got curbstomped by the RX 6800 XT. The first words out of Steve's mouth are "Oh boy, this one is a slaughter!", a fair synopsis of this video:

How well do you reckon that it would fare against a card that is faster than the RX 6800 XT, like the RX 7800 XT?

As for the RX 7800 XT, it competes with the (more expensive) RTX 4070 and it also received Steve's recommendation (although it wasn't nearly the slaughter that the RX 4060 Ti suffered, for obvious reasons):

 

[Macro Device]

but he's in Australia

Doesn't seem to be a 3rd world junkfest of a country. Prices there should be reasonable.

RX 6800 would be way overkill for that

As of today, maybe, yet don't forget million FPS games where no framerate is too much. As of 5 years later, definitely not.

I was actually pretty convinced already for the 6750XT after your feedback mate tho it's price weirdly come close to the 7800XT over here (Israel) and yes prices are very not decent or stable,
we also got weird variety of choices (I guess its on purpose) I've found a Sapphire Pulse 6800XT 16GB at 958$ (??????) and a MSI Gaming 6950XT 16GB for 1414$ (WTF?!)

so I just closed the deal with the 7800XT cause honestly I've been tweakin my head for almost 2 weeks and I just wanted to get done with it haha.

Hey, whatever works, eh?

 

[Athlonite]

If you play at those resolutions, I would call even the RX 7700 XT "overkill"

Depends on the game and what settings you use I can make my RX6800 die playing CP2077 with everything on ultra it gets around 35fps but turn off all the ReTardX crap and it gets around 90~110fps

And yet still I play at 4K with my 6700 XT

at what settings and what fps though low and 30 isn't what I'd call an ideal playing solution for 4K gaming

You sir, are a genius! I love that (How the hell did I not think of it?)! I call it "A GPU's Cement Shoes" because nothing can sink a GPU better! I like your way of saying far more than my own.

Well, they might be playing an older game like Far Cry 5, Godfall or Assassin's Creed: Black Flag. I think that the 6700 XT could handle those games at 4K.

 

[Ruru]

Med-high usually, FSR at quality if needed. I wouldn't play anything at 30fps but a stable 60 is achievable in any game I've tested so far. Minor dips in the 50s isn't a problem as I have a freesync monitor.

 

[ARF]

I think it's a good choice and you'll be happy.

What's so good about it? He got the same 2020 performance of the RX 6800 XT for more money than in 2020? This is a regression, not a progress!

Only if you have the memory of a goldfish...... MSRP was fake AF in 2020/2021, and the start of 2022.

He is also in Israel so unless he books a flight to a country with lesser gpu prices it is what it is. I mean did you not read a 6950XT is 1400 usd in his country.....

I actually have a memory better than yours.
The MSRP was 650$ and was so until sometime spring 2021, so from November 2020 till March 2021 he got plenty of opportunities to buy one...

But it's a principle discussion, not about his personal case.

I hate these fanboyism jumps from the regular forum armchair "experts" who know everything and have answers for all questions !

Minor dips into the 50s aren't even noticeable on a non-FreeSync monitor. I game on my 55" 4K60Hz TV and it's just glorious! Even though it has no adaptive sync feature, I can't tell the difference between 53 and 60FPS. It just works. As long as you don't get any jarring drops, you won't really notice anything change.

Yeah, those prices are just insane. I honestly don't know how the prices there get like that.

 

[oxrufiioxo]

Yeah that really sucks probably why he was still rocking a 1650 super. Hopefully wages are half decent. I make a habit of looking up avg wages in a country before trying to help anyone and in Isreal it seems to be about 3000 usd which isn't bad, cost of living is only 10% lower than the united states though but rent is 40% lower so there is that at least.

Of course just like with any country someone could be making way more or way less.
