Rdna2 was such an incredible generation. We are all poorer that AMD couldn't maintain their competitiveness. Hoping they can get things in order for rdna4
hey well dont feel too bad that card is still holding up to play most newer games still at high settings. I played hogwarts legacy, all the Resident evil remakes, cyberpunk, etc. I couldve probably used it for another year or so before upgrading as well, but my brother upgraded from his 2070 to a 4070 so I got his old card and gave my 1070 to a friend. About to upgrade to a 6800 and give the 2070 to another friend.
Same thing here. Super happy with my RX 6800. Miss DLSS tho, but there is no Nvidia alternative that's worth it at the moment... RTX 3080 already running into VRAM issues.
Yeah, I got mine for 480AUD (310USD). Could be mined for all I care, it's such a cheap upgrade that as long as it last me till next gen, I'll be happy.😊
Me too. I got mine for $267. Previous owner had had it for 2 years, but the card itself is barely dusty. Definitely the best purchase I've made this year.
@@bw-mx1dy Found a deal and was sick of games that the GPU itself would be capable of running very well stuttering because of the vram limitations at 1440p
Keep in mind that in Starfield, the only place where your FPS is going to take a considerable hit is populated cities. In almost all other parts of the game you're going to see high to very high FPS (especially indoors or in caves, space stations etc.). So if you're getting around 50 FPS in cities, you're going to see upwards of 80 to 100 FPS in other parts of the game. My overall average is 115 to 125 FPS while only achieving high 65 FPS in cities.
I capped mine to 60fps. (Using v-sync and monitor refresh @ 60hz) Having a consistent experience was more enjoyable (not that I liked the game much anyway)
@@christinaedwards5084 was starting to think I was alone in this understanding!...i think most people's eyeballs just don't comprehend what they're actually seeing...a vsync'd 60fps/hz (with bfi in my case) looks like buttery smooth 160fps motion clarity
@@Beast-mf7br it doesn’t feel the same 😂 higher fps is definitely superior for smoothness on condition it’s consistent. Uncapped, some places I’m 120+ fps , others 72fps, one minute you games silky, next it’s juddery. 50+ frames was a lot to lose and no amount of sync technology can mask that. Some moments it was almost like a slideshow outside in cydonia for me. We can also add on my computer sounded like an F22 raptor with full afterburner. It was HOT. I did find 60fps with keyboard and mouse also feels considerably worse than with a control pad. So I opted for 60fps, and control pad. Smooth, good temps, low noise. It made no sense to have it running on max. Dropped my power consumption by over 150w too. Now if only I could find the desire to actually play 😂. I find this game really dull 😢
@@christinaedwards5084 ya I always play these types on controller, feels way more immersive imo....but ya, it's all about finding that stable 60 or 100 or 120 fps minimum for me, for Starfield i dialled in the settings to get a minimum 60fps in places like new atlantis, turn on vsync, then bfi on high is where the magic happens!....I hear ya though, played it for a few days then dropped it to tinker with Cyberpunk!
Honestly, the period where the RX6800 was heavily discounted was such an amazing time to upgrade. Even to this day, the RX7700XT is similarly priced to what I bought my RX6800 for here in Sweden, 9 months ago. And I still got more VRAM, less power draw, less heat. When giving the card a -100mV undervolt, it goes down to 120-140W... that's 6600XT territory and you barely loose performance. Amazing piece of hardware.
Still in love with my RX6800 16GB Absolutely the perfect high end card during the high GPU pricing towards the end. The 6800XT was always sold out or overpriced but I got mine at MSRP instead of a 3070. At the time when I made the purchase I was almost bummed out but was wary of only 8GB on a card that I would've had to pay over a THOUSAND DOLLLARS FOR. So at 50% of the price at that time, I still have DOUBLE VRAM today. It never gets old, having twice as much VRAM. Apparently having half the VRAM DID get old, pretty damn fast too.
I find it very weird that Nvidia had apparently planned to make a 16GB version (which would have been called the 3070 ti), but then cancelled it, and then even the 4070 ti and 4070 were designed with only 12GB of vram as well, and they still made an 8GB version of the 4060 ti too.
04:19 7700 XT runs aprx. 20°C cooler than 6800 and this is quite impressive, especially considering that in the past AMD cards were usually installed as heaters in some homes.
While that's true, it also was consistently drawing an average of 25W more. It could be down to individual models, but you would consistently be saving up on your bills with an RX6800. I was honestly surprised that it runs cooler at a bigger power draw, probably a bit overbuilt fans on that particular model.
True. I think one issue is that a lot of retailers can't afford to buy enough AMD graphics cards because they don't realize that the local demand for AMD cards will be high enough, or because the local demand actually isn't high enough. A lot of retailers don't necessarily have any idea whether or not a given AMD graphics card will sell well, and they might be forced to agree to buy a bunch of different products, rather than just the ones they think will sell well.
I had a Reference RX 6800 that I bought on release nearly 3 years ago. Great card will still very viable today. I wanted an aftermarket card that would be silent and got the The Red Devil 7800 XT. If you can get more VRAM with your GPU
I’m in awe that the higher end RDNA 2 cards have comparable viability to their RDNA 3 counterparts AND the offerings provided by Nvidia for the low and mid ranges. I’m at the point where I can buy a RX 6950 XT in lieu of a 7900 XT with only mild regret (which I’ll end up doing by the way). This generation of cards has been sobering to say the least.
well just a suggestion: RDNA3 cards are chiplet based, so it will take some time to mature properly. RDNA2 cards are great due to there software maturity. If i was you deciding between 6950xt or 7800xt so i would choose 7800xt, because simply it is newer technology, gives FPS same or better than 6950xt, will have future driver support, and it will mature with time. 7900xt is also a viable option if you can stretch your budget.
@@andrestrevino8119 yeah, because 7800xt is newer , it is based on chiplet technology, has RDNA3, and more upcoming exclusive feature and yet alone it draws less power. so why would you choose last gen gpus..?
I think AMD was focusing on the fact that it's a way better deal than the 4060Ti but they forgot that their own models are an even better option. I think at 399 or 379 it could be really good, but it'll probably be a while before that happens
Nice pointing this out Daniel! 6800 clearance pricing is insane right now. Grab it while you still can if this is your budget! The moment they are gone the 7700XT will be $399 gauranteed.
@@EhEhEhEINSTEIN I think that's because they don't report power the same way. Basically, the 6000 series is under-reporting power usage for some reason. I think the 7700 XT probably uses less power actually. The 6800 is still the better product though. The power consumption difference isn't big enough to matter. If you REALLY care about power consumption for some specific reason, then you probably want to get yourself a 16GB 4060 ti or an RTX 4070 instead. The 7800 XT definitely uses significantly less power than the 6800 XT, at least when comparing reference model to reference model.
@@syncmonism Thanks for that tidbit about them reporting differently, I had no idea. I'm sticking with my 2080 for the foreseeable future as it's more than enough for the games I play but eventually a game will come out that piques my interest enough to warrant an upgrade.
I build my first Pc this year and had a 1000€ budget. I went for the rx6800 for 380€ and it suprises me regularly, how good it is, even though it’s kinda old.
Hi Daniel. On the content creation side, the codec units in the RX 7000 series are 75% faster than the RX 6000 series in regards to h.264 footage in my testing with PugetBench for DaVinci Resolve Studio. If someone uses the card for both gaming and video editing, the 6800 XT may not be an optimal choice. I'll use the 7900 XTX and 7800 XT vs. 6800 XT example since I don't have the 7700 XT on hand. DaVinci Resolve Studio 4K H.264 Decode to H.264 Re-Encode 6800 XT: 110 fps in Resolve Studio version 18.6 7800 XT: 192.19 fps in Resolve Studio version 18.5.1 7900 XTX: 192.09 fps in Resolve Studio version 18.6 As you can see, the 7000 series cards I tested are 75% faster than the 6800 XT with that type of footage but the 7900 XTX is within the margin of error relative to the 7800 XT. That is to say that the differences are due to the new architecture rather than their relative clock speed or VRAM in that particular test. I haven't tested the 7700 XT but given that information, it would likely be closer to the 7800 XT than the 6800 XT in that respect.
@@jesusbarrera6916 The 7800 XT has overall been faster in my video editing tests than the 4070 and the additional VRAM has been helpful when editing 8K. So no, unlike with 3D modeling applications, there is not currently an Nvidia advantage in video editing. Things changed a lot in the last year and which card is best for you personally depends a lot on which file formats you work most with and whether or not you do a lot of work in Fusion (either in Resolve or standalone) where the AMD cards have a major performance advantage.
I just realized I was vague about the advantage in the Fusion compositing module. 7800 XT scored 38% higher than the 4070 in that PugetBench section, 705 vs 510. The 4070 scored closer to the 3060 (465) than it did to the 7800 XT in that respect. My 4070 is great for my Blender work but for video editing, the 7800 XT is the one I prefer to use. The main issue that AMD had at the time of the 7800XT launch was that they had a different driver set for the 7700 and 7800 series from the 6800 XT and 7900 XTX, so I can't use it in dual card mode in Resolve like my other AMD and Nvidia cards right now.
Just discovered your channel. Was shopping for a customer's build and was considering this exact comparison - ended up going with the RX 6800 because I got it for $330. I run a small computer shop in alabama and I aspire to produce videos like this
The RX 6800 has much better power efficiency than the RX 7700 XT, even though it is from an earlier generation. In my opinion the RX 6800 is superior and worth the money.
Wait for the 7700xt to drop in price and replace the 6700xt as the "value king". The 7700xt is currently pointless since it's so close in price to the 7800xt. Good video.
The 6800 is definitely likely to be the better buy for the long-term, even if they are both the same price. The 6800's vram advantage is likely to matter a lot more 2-3 years from now, and I would think that most people buying these cards today would likely be keeping them for AT LEAST 3 years, if not longer, before upgrading again.
my only concern about buying the 6800 is that its a 3 year old card, i feel like it just wont stack eventually... also, its had 3 years of driver optimizations
@@xythrr I think the 6800 isn't even sold brand-new anymore. Either save your money and go for the 6700 XT or spend more on the 6800 XT/7800 XT. That would surely be my advice.
@@leanlifter1 12GB is the proper amount of VRAM for the performance of this GPU today. In a few years, VRAM requirements will surely increase, and the extra 4GB of VRAM will matter. Extra VRAM doesn't make a card faster, but lacking sufficient VRAM can certainly make it slower.
Got rx 6800 open box from newegg for $320 in November 2022 and it has been great! Never had an issue with it and the 16gb is the cherry on top, Callisto protocol 120 fps 1440p max settings no RT used looks great compared to my old 1080p set up (rx 6600)
I noticed the same thing... card prices in Canada are a little insane at the moment, and often the only midrange cards in stock under $800 or so are AMD or massively overpriced 3060s. 6800 seems like the closest to a deal, unless I want to go the cheap route and grab a decent bang for buck 8GB performer like the 7600 or A750 and turn settings to medium / low. To be clear, any of those would be a big upgrade for me.
got asrock 6800 at february around 290usd(4,5m idr) from friend that upgrade to 4080, its still very good card for 34" WUHD monitor and never use more than 200w
So glad I went with a 6800. Got it new for $400 in April. Undervolted and Overclocked. It does RT in many games well. In R&C you can play 1440p max settings with All RT settings at high and changing the RT range to 4 it will get 60fps.
I played both Spiderman games with Ray Tracing to 60 stables 1440p with FSR Q. But I'd rather create an 80% base resolution in drivers and use RSR since 80% of 1440p upscaled to 1440p looks fine to me and is smoother thsn FSR Q
@@aboveaveragebayleaf9216it's not underestimation But it's just not made for rt 2080 ti beats 6800 in rt Which is plain gimmick as 2080 ti is cheaper/same price as 6800 If you want ray tracing get a 7800xt or 3070 ti
@Birdman._. idk why that's so crazy. Nvidia 2019 flagship vs 2020 amd upper mid range. Yeah you can find a cheap used 2080ti, but that doesn't mean the 6800 is a bad value. The rt performance actually isn't that far off between them except in maybe cyberpunk where it's an nvidia showcase.
@@aboveaveragebayleaf9216 to be completely honest I've come to completely regret get the 6800. The poor TAA in the vast majority of games has me really missing DLSS/DLAA. The fact that DLSS Q is less blurred, has better fine detail retention and less shimmering than native means while I get better fps now, I got better image quality with the RTX a2000 that my daughter now has. Only looking at average fps raster performance benchmarks was a huge mistake. Should have thought of real world use case. I would be getting way better image quality and performance with a 3080 using dlss Q. Not to mention, RT is really starting to look good now. And I won't always be able to turn it off. We already have a game that uses it as it's only source of global lighting. Meaning it can't be turned off.
As a owner of the salvors pulse Rx 6800 it’s the best made gpu of that generation everything under it amd wise runs on a different chip it runs so cool and is such a beast let alone for the price I paid sheeesh !
I bought a barely used MSI 6800xt for $600 AUD ($385 USD) a few weeks ago. Happy with my purchase as I think it'll be a long while before the 7700xt comes down to that price here, let alone the 7800xt. The current cheapest 7700xt is $769 AUD ($495 USD) and the current cheapest 7800xt is $879 AUD ($565 USD).
I was considering the RX 6800, but it's about 10-15% more expensive than the 7700 XT where I live. But at 399, I wouldn't think twice before buying it! Great video by the way, really helping me out in choosing the best card for my budget!
Okay, but even at 399, the 7800 XT for 499 is about 22% faster, with 33% more vram and significantly more memory bandwidth for 25% more money. Within the scope of the cost of the entire system, that's really not a lot extra to pay, especially if we assume that most people are probably not going to upgrade their card for another 4 years or more. The extra vram doesn't matter much yet, but it will definitely become a lot more useful before the end of that 4 year period.
The deciding factor for me is usually how long the graphics cards will receive driver support. I have a bad feeling that they'll stop updating the 6800 before the 7700xt, even though the 6800 is better.
AMD don't do that, AMD supports Linux users better than Nvidia and update their open-source drivers regularly unlike Nvidia. If and at some point stop updating for Linux, then there will be other contributors who continue it.
@@mgk-metalgearkelly5054the same way 8 gigs is the bare minimum now. But with the rate games are becoming harder to run, things will go bad much quicker.
Interesting difference in overall temperatures and power draw. I think this is down to those individual models/make, as the fans of the RX 7700 XT must be overbuilt to consistently draw 25W more to keep it that cool. You would be generally saving up on your electric bill while still getting a very reasonable working temperature with the 6800 if this is an average user case, though. I for one got an RX6800 maybe 5 months before 7700 XT released, so it feels rather good to feel like my purchase was justified. I mean, sure, he mentions at the end (and during some benchmarks I skipped, guilty lol) that the power draw is actually closer, but without actual data to support it we don't know how much closer.
Bruh, RX 6800 wins in almost every aspects that matter. It's more powerful, it has more VRAM, it draws less power. And if you're willing to get it used, RX 6800 is cheaper. From where I'm from, I can get a RX 6800 for about $250 while a used RX 7700 XT still cost more than $450.
is it just me or the power consumption of the 7700xt is higher than the rx6800 in all games? the fps is pretty similar but the power draw is so different, although even having higher power usage the rx7700xt is way colder compared to the rx6800
He mentions the possible reason near the end of the video, stating the two cards don't report power draw via software in the same way, but in reality they use a similar amount of power. :)
I'd be a bit shocked if the 7700 doesn't drop to $400 USD for Black Friday. As many reviewers have already noted it makes a lot more sense at that price. You have to do some mental gymnastics to justify $450 when compared against the 4060 ti 16GB @ $450 and 6800 @ $420.
best thing about the 7700xt is the temperature. your ssd that usually sits between the cpu and gpu won't fry as quickly if you don't have good airflow. I always show the second gpu sensor hotspot as that'll be 5 to 10c above what is shown here for both. It's too bad afterburner doesn't show ssd temp. all the comparisons on here show some games better with one card than the other. stuttering with either card may relate to other hardware factors too as not everyone seems to experience them, not to mention they are often running different models of the same gpus on different dated drivers
Nanite, Lumen and FSR/DLSS all requires memory. Unreal Engine 5's Matrix demo wanted memory. The choice is easy, RX 6800 16gb is the obvious winner. Also, lets encourage GPU's manufacturing companies to increase the memory on these cards by purchasing GPUs with the most memory over newer GPU's that have similar rationalization performance with less memory.
So the 6800 is more power effecient(by alittle), much more VRAM and better frames at some moments. Unfortunately the card doesn't exist in my country and nor does it on websites where i dont get ripped off. So I thought screw it ill just get the 7700XT. It's new and should be fine for many years....... Upgrading from a 1660 TI 6gb card
I'm noticing that the non-xt cards are usually really good with not generating too much heat. I'm seeing the same heat sink and same fans as would be on the XT version for less watts. The 6800 is about the same but with more memory and better thermals for less money than 7700 XT.
i was planning to buy RX7700XT as its within my budget but after watching soo many videos . im soo annoyed that people suggesting get the 6800 instead , here in india 6800 doesn't exists its off the market and the people who are selling it are double triple the base price .
I got lucky. Best Buy has the 6800 for $389 right now. Had $55 dollars in coupons my mom wasn't going to use. $335 for that card. Absolute steal. I was so mad because i was broke during Black Friday due to car issues. Then i got a promotion and Christmas bonus. Saw this card with those coupons. I jumped on it.
That's been my issue since I got my 1080 Ti. None of the gpu's around 200-300 really compete in terms of vram. I saw a 6700 xt 10gb for like 299 at best buy but that's still less vram.
7700XT (TLOU) averaging 220w and at times slightly lower fps than 6800XT at ~180w and at times slightly higher fps ….. and comes in at a cheaper price w/ 16gb vram compared to 7700XT 12GB ….. I’d get the 6800XT imo 😇🤯😉🥰💪
i wish i could get exited about that, but once you have a gpu like a 6700 xt... imo 7700xt isnt really worth the upgrade, its hard to get exited for any gpu honestly...until some more years pass.
I wish AMD made a miniITX version of either card. 2 slot, 195mm or shorter. I’m looking at the 4060 basically as the most powerful card for my portable build.
LoL no, there's a reason why is that big and is temps, cards get too hot. 4000 series from Nvidia are reaaaally cool, they could do a 4070/4070ti low profile for sure.
I bought a Newegg open box Rx 6800 asrock phantom card for $320 6 months ago and it has been amazing at 1440p high settings and cool temps I got somewhat lucky took a chance
Does Immortals of Aveum Ultra preset use Lumen for reflections, ao, and shadows or just GI? Likewise, does the high preset in Layers of Fear use Lumen for more than GI? Just curious as I do not have either game.
I've been following your videos for some weeks now and yesterday my RTX 4070 has died ... It was a superb card and RT in Cyberpunk 2077 looks great. But if I wanted to buy a new RTX 4070 now, I would pay 50 € more and for 600 € I do not find the price to performance really attractive anymore. Now I saw a new RX 6800 for 455 € and I think to myself, for my needs that could be absolutely enough and after I saw your video I'm actually tempted to buy it.
6800 doesnt measure its complete power consumption, unlike 7700xt. This has been explained plenty of times and video after video, people are not aware yet.
Is it even a contest? The 3070Ti only has 8Gb of vram. I would personally consider 12 GB the bare minimum when buying a new card in that price range. The 6800 is slightly faster then the 3070TI (not considering RT) , the 7700XT is about the same performance but has slightly better RT then the 6800, although I wonder how much you would see of that in practice.
@@really7187 i agree with you,, but i was wondering in terms of rasterization how they stack with all the latest drivers in the latest games. I much prefer higher fps with lower graphics than lower fps with ultra graphics. I cannot play single player games in which in cant achive at least 90 fps at all times, i m very used to the constant 160+ fps of competitive games. Considering that you cant play modern games with decent graphics at 1440p with 1% lows that don’t dip into the 60 maybe even lower, i still consider these cards to be 1080p targeted. Taking into consideration the above, i d say that, even in todays games, 1080p with high and maybe some ultra settings, no rt is fine for 8gb of vram (these are what i believe most gamers would choose their settings to be for a single player game)
Why no one talks about their clock speeds when they compare gpus? How do I know which 16gb vram vs 12gb vram is better? Im currently using msi mechx2 rx 6600 xt but currently looking to upgrade to match my 1440p much better, since 8gb vram is becoming left in the dust sooner and dont know if my my other monitor for 1080p will be future proof much further down the path.

Keep in mind that in Starfield, the only place where your FPS is going to take a considerable hit is populated cities. In almost all other parts of the game you're going to see high to very high FPS (especially indoors or in caves, space stations etc.). So if you're getting around 50 FPS in cities, you're going to see upwards of 80 to 100 FPS in other parts of the game. My overall average is 115 to 125 FPS while only achieving high 65 FPS in cities.
True! I'm getting 78.5 in New Atlantis but 133 FPS on average everywhere else. If 60 FPS is the standard, what's to complain about?

Having a consistent experience was more enjoyable (not that I liked the game much anyway)
@@christinaedwards5084 was starting to think I was alone in this understanding!...i think most people's eyeballs just don't comprehend what they're actually seeing...a vsync'd 60fps/hz (with bfi in my case) looks like buttery smooth 160fps motion clarity
@@Beast-mf7br it doesn’t feel the same 😂
higher fps is definitely superior for smoothness on condition it’s consistent.
Uncapped, some places I’m 120+ fps , others 72fps, one minute you games silky, next it’s juddery.
50+ frames was a lot to lose and no amount of sync technology can mask that.
Some moments it was almost like a slideshow outside in cydonia for me.
We can also add on my computer sounded like an F22 raptor with full afterburner. It was HOT.
I did find 60fps with keyboard and mouse also feels considerably worse than with a control pad.
So I opted for 60fps, and control pad. Smooth, good temps, low noise.
It made no sense to have it running on max.
Dropped my power consumption by over 150w too.
Now if only I could find the desire to actually play 😂.
I find this game really dull 😢
@@christinaedwards5084 ya I always play these types on controller, feels way more immersive imo....but ya, it's all about finding that stable 60 or 100 or 120 fps minimum for me, for Starfield i dialled in the settings to get a minimum 60fps in places like new atlantis, turn on vsync, then bfi on high is where the magic happens!....I hear ya though, played it for a few days then dropped it to tinker with Cyberpunk!
Honestly, the period where the RX6800 was heavily discounted was such an amazing time to upgrade. Even to this day, the RX7700XT is similarly priced to what I bought my RX6800 for here in Sweden, 9 months ago. And I still got more VRAM, less power draw, less heat. When giving the card a -100mV undervolt, it goes down to 120-140W... that's 6600XT territory and you barely loose performance. Amazing piece of hardware.
Still in love with my RX6800 16GB Absolutely the perfect high end card during the high GPU pricing towards the end. The 6800XT was always sold out or overpriced but I got mine at MSRP instead of a 3070. At the time when I made the purchase I was almost bummed out but was wary of only 8GB on a card that I would've had to pay over a THOUSAND DOLLLARS FOR. So at 50% of the price at that time, I still have DOUBLE VRAM today. It never gets old, having twice as much VRAM. Apparently having half the VRAM DID get old, pretty damn fast too.
I find it very weird that Nvidia had apparently planned to make a 16GB version (which would have been called the 3070 ti), but then cancelled it, and then even the 4070 ti and 4070 were designed with only 12GB of vram as well, and they still made an 8GB version of the 4060 ti too.
Really cool to see someone benching with a 6800. Seems like a GPU most have forgotten about, but it works really well for me on my 1440p Ultrawide.
And now those XFXs are absolute value kings! Getting one today :).
@@radosuafhow has it been ?:)
@@Recklessest3 Actually there were issues with the order and I got an ASRock 6800 XT at almost the same price :).

04:19 7700 XT runs aprx. 20°C cooler than 6800 and this is quite impressive, especially considering that in the past AMD cards were usually installed as heaters in some homes.
While that's true, it also was consistently drawing an average of 25W more. It could be down to individual models, but you would consistently be saving up on your bills with an RX6800. I was honestly surprised that it runs cooler at a bigger power draw, probably a bit overbuilt fans on that particular model.
@@yavorvlaskov5404 6000 series is not reporting the total power, he said it a few times in the video
The problem is finding the 6800 at that price. In many countries stock has dried up, so your only option is 7700/7800 xt
True. I think one issue is that a lot of retailers can't afford to buy enough AMD graphics cards because they don't realize that the local demand for AMD cards will be high enough, or because the local demand actually isn't high enough. A lot of retailers don't necessarily have any idea whether or not a given AMD graphics card will sell well, and they might be forced to agree to buy a bunch of different products, rather than just the ones they think will sell well.
There are still XFX in stock in US and Europe and maybe some Asrock left. Rest are dried out or cost so much no one wants to buy them..
I had a Reference RX 6800 that I bought on release nearly 3 years ago. Great card will still very viable today. I wanted an aftermarket card that would be silent and got the The Red Devil 7800 XT. If you can get more VRAM with your GPU
I’m in awe that the higher end RDNA 2 cards have comparable viability to their RDNA 3 counterparts AND the offerings provided by Nvidia for the low and mid ranges. I’m at the point where I can buy a RX 6950 XT in lieu of a 7900 XT with only mild regret (which I’ll end up doing by the way). This generation of cards has been sobering to say the least.
well just a suggestion: RDNA3 cards are chiplet based, so it will take some time to mature properly. RDNA2 cards are great due to there software maturity. If i was you deciding between 6950xt or 7800xt so i would choose 7800xt, because simply it is newer technology, gives FPS same or better than 6950xt, will have future driver support, and it will mature with time. 7900xt is also a viable option if you can stretch your budget.
I got a good deal on the regular 6900XT and haven't regretted it for a moment. I won't probably upgrade until the RX 8000 series.
RDNA3 is fine. RDNA2 has just been priced low enough that it's still an option at the end of its life cycle.
So between a PowerColor Red Devil 6950 XT and a Red Devil 7800 XT you would choose the latter?
@@andrestrevino8119 yeah, because 7800xt is newer , it is based on chiplet technology, has RDNA3, and more upcoming exclusive feature and yet alone it draws less power. so why would you choose last gen gpus..?
7700xt is really a bad value it should be between 400 and 350$
I think AMD was focusing on the fact that it's a way better deal than the 4060Ti but they forgot that their own models are an even better option. I think at 399 or 379 it could be really good, but it'll probably be a while before that happens
@@demrasnawla I can get the 7700 XT for 379. And a 6800 xt for 352, which one is better in your opinion?
Exactly the video I needed... 6800 is 50$ cheaper and has 4gb more VRAM but I was tempted to go newer just because.
Nice pointing this out Daniel! 6800 clearance pricing is insane right now. Grab it while you still can if this is your budget! The moment they are gone the 7700XT will be $399 gauranteed.
basically the same but 6800 has more vram and cheaper, definitely would go for 6800.
Looked like consistently lower power consumption too
I don't know about 7700xt, but 6800 both overclocks and undervolts like a champ
@@EhEhEhEINSTEIN I think that's because they don't report power the same way. Basically, the 6000 series is under-reporting power usage for some reason. I think the 7700 XT probably uses less power actually. The 6800 is still the better product though. The power consumption difference isn't big enough to matter. If you REALLY care about power consumption for some specific reason, then you probably want to get yourself a 16GB 4060 ti or an RTX 4070 instead.
The 7800 XT definitely uses significantly less power than the 6800 XT, at least when comparing reference model to reference model.
@@syncmonism Thanks for that tidbit about them reporting differently, I had no idea. I'm sticking with my 2080 for the foreseeable future as it's more than enough for the games I play but eventually a game will come out that piques my interest enough to warrant an upgrade.
6800 is more expensive here in my country.
I build my first Pc this year and had a 1000€ budget.
I went for the rx6800 for 380€ and it suprises me regularly, how good it is, even though it’s kinda old.

Friend of mine just upgraded from a rtx 2060 to a used rx6800xt (400usd). He's happy with the performance.
I have been rocking the RX 6800 with a 9700k, and I stream while playing games at 1440p.. Its not perfect but smooth and performs... money well spent.
Hi Daniel. On the content creation side, the codec units in the RX 7000 series are 75% faster than the RX 6000 series in regards to h.264 footage in my testing with PugetBench for DaVinci Resolve Studio. If someone uses the card for both gaming and video editing, the 6800 XT may not be an optimal choice. I'll use the 7900 XTX and 7800 XT vs. 6800 XT example since I don't have the 7700 XT on hand.
DaVinci Resolve Studio 4K H.264 Decode to H.264 Re-Encode
6800 XT: 110 fps in Resolve Studio version 18.6
7800 XT: 192.19 fps in Resolve Studio version 18.5.1
7900 XTX: 192.09 fps in Resolve Studio version 18.6
As you can see, the 7000 series cards I tested are 75% faster than the 6800 XT with that type of footage but the 7900 XTX is within the margin of error relative to the 7800 XT. That is to say that the differences are due to the new architecture rather than their relative clock speed or VRAM in that particular test. I haven't tested the 7700 XT but given that information, it would likely be closer to the 7800 XT than the 6800 XT in that respect.
wouldn't you just buy an NVIDIA card if you are using it for professional workloads like those as well?
@@jesusbarrera6916 The 7800 XT has overall been faster in my video editing tests than the 4070 and the additional VRAM has been helpful when editing 8K. So no, unlike with 3D modeling applications, there is not currently an Nvidia advantage in video editing. Things changed a lot in the last year and which card is best for you personally depends a lot on which file formats you work most with and whether or not you do a lot of work in Fusion (either in Resolve or standalone) where the AMD cards have a major performance advantage.
I just realized I was vague about the advantage in the Fusion compositing module. 7800 XT scored 38% higher than the 4070 in that PugetBench section, 705 vs 510. The 4070 scored closer to the 3060 (465) than it did to the 7800 XT in that respect. My 4070 is great for my Blender work but for video editing, the 7800 XT is the one I prefer to use.
The main issue that AMD had at the time of the 7800XT launch was that they had a different driver set for the 7700 and 7800 series from the 6800 XT and 7900 XTX, so I can't use it in dual card mode in Resolve like my other AMD and Nvidia cards right now.
Hello, old post I see but do you think the RX6800 will do better with content creation if paired with an Intel i5-12600k igpu?
Just discovered your channel. Was shopping for a customer's build and was considering this exact comparison - ended up going with the RX 6800 because I got it for $330. I run a small computer shop in alabama and I aspire to produce videos like this
The RX 6800 has much better power efficiency than the RX 7700 XT, even though it is from an earlier generation. In my opinion the RX 6800 is superior and worth the money.
The problem with the 6800 is that it will have inferior driver support as time goes by, due to being an older gen.
@@NoThisIsntMyChannel Youre right, I think the plus 4gb of vram will make some diference in the future too. IDK in the end with one is better.
I upgraded from an rtx 3050 8gb to the rx 6800, im going to keep this for more than 4 years ❤
Been loving my 6800 and surprising stack up very well nowadays
Wait for the 7700xt to drop in price and replace the 6700xt as the "value king". The 7700xt is currently pointless since it's so close in price to the 7800xt. Good video.
Yeah I can't imagine the 7700XT being more than $400 for long into 2024.

these new “low” end and “mid” range cards have no vram anymore its pathetic
My cousin decided to sell her asus 6800 for $300 so she could by a 7700. After I told her she was crazy I bought it.
The 6800 is definitely likely to be the better buy for the long-term, even if they are both the same price.
The 6800's vram advantage is likely to matter a lot more 2-3 years from now, and I would think that most people buying these cards today would likely be keeping them for AT LEAST 3 years, if not longer, before upgrading again.
Yeah I buy AMD because I'm broke 😴😴 so for sure it has to last me 3 years or more
my only concern about buying the 6800 is that its a 3 year old card, i feel like it just wont stack eventually... also, its had 3 years of driver optimizations
@@xythrr I think the 6800 isn't even sold brand-new anymore. Either save your money and go for the 6700 XT or spend more on the 6800 XT/7800 XT. That would surely be my advice.
Vram don't make a card faster or slower. 12gb Vram is a proper amount for the performance of this GPU.
@@leanlifter1 12GB is the proper amount of VRAM for the performance of this GPU today. In a few years, VRAM requirements will surely increase, and the extra 4GB of VRAM will matter. Extra VRAM doesn't make a card faster, but lacking sufficient VRAM can certainly make it slower.
Got rx 6800 open box from newegg for $320 in November 2022 and it has been great! Never had an issue with it and the 16gb is the cherry on top, Callisto protocol 120 fps 1440p max settings no RT used looks great compared to my old 1080p set up (rx 6600)
I noticed the same thing... card prices in Canada are a little insane at the moment, and often the only midrange cards in stock under $800 or so are AMD or massively overpriced 3060s. 6800 seems like the closest to a deal, unless I want to go the cheap route and grab a decent bang for buck 8GB performer like the 7600 or A750 and turn settings to medium / low.
To be clear, any of those would be a big upgrade for me.
got asrock 6800 at february around 290usd(4,5m idr) from friend that upgrade to 4080, its still very good card for 34" WUHD monitor and never use more than 200w
So glad I went with a 6800. Got it new for $400 in April. Undervolted and Overclocked. It does RT in many games well. In R&C you can play 1440p max settings with All RT settings at high and changing the RT range to 4 it will get 60fps.
Yeah it can't handle super heavy rt loads as well, but people underestimate how well rdna 2 cards do ray tracing
I played both Spiderman games with Ray Tracing to 60 stables 1440p with FSR Q. But I'd rather create an 80% base resolution in drivers and use RSR since 80% of 1440p upscaled to 1440p looks fine to me and is smoother thsn FSR Q
@@aboveaveragebayleaf9216it's not underestimation
But it's just not made for rt
2080 ti beats 6800 in rt

If you want ray tracing get a 7800xt or 3070 ti
@Birdman._. idk why that's so crazy. Nvidia 2019 flagship vs 2020 amd upper mid range. Yeah you can find a cheap used 2080ti, but that doesn't mean the 6800 is a bad value. The rt performance actually isn't that far off between them except in maybe cyberpunk where it's an nvidia showcase.
@@aboveaveragebayleaf9216 to be completely honest I've come to completely regret get the 6800. The poor TAA in the vast majority of games has me really missing DLSS/DLAA. The fact that DLSS Q is less blurred, has better fine detail retention and less shimmering than native means while I get better fps now, I got better image quality with the RTX a2000 that my daughter now has.
Only looking at average fps raster performance benchmarks was a huge mistake. Should have thought of real world use case. I would be getting way better image quality and performance with a 3080 using dlss Q. Not to mention, RT is really starting to look good now. And I won't always be able to turn it off. We already have a game that uses it as it's only source of global lighting. Meaning it can't be turned off.
As a owner of the salvors pulse Rx 6800 it’s the best made gpu of that generation everything under it amd wise runs on a different chip it runs so cool and is such a beast let alone for the price I paid sheeesh !

Happy with my purchase as I think it'll be a long while before the 7700xt comes down to that price here, let alone the 7800xt. The current cheapest 7700xt is $769 AUD ($495 USD) and the current cheapest 7800xt is $879 AUD ($565 USD).
Just got an Rx 6800 for 315 so excited!!
Impressive, that's a great deal man. I never saw it that low.
And one big diference is AV1, only 7xxx series have.
I was considering the RX 6800, but it's about 10-15% more expensive than the 7700 XT where I live. But at 399, I wouldn't think twice before buying it! Great video by the way, really helping me out in choosing the best card for my budget!
Okay, but even at 399, the 7800 XT for 499 is about 22% faster, with 33% more vram and significantly more memory bandwidth for 25% more money. Within the scope of the cost of the entire system, that's really not a lot extra to pay, especially if we assume that most people are probably not going to upgrade their card for another 4 years or more. The extra vram doesn't matter much yet, but it will definitely become a lot more useful before the end of that 4 year period.
Needed this video, was planning on choosing between 6800 and 7700xt. Perfect timing ❤

Thank you for another awesome comparisson!
Might switch from 2060 to a 6800/XT, i don’t really care about ray tracing or using FSR/DLSS at all.
The deciding factor for me is usually how long the graphics cards will receive driver support. I have a bad feeling that they'll stop updating the 6800 before the 7700xt, even though the 6800 is better.
Nvidia does that
AMD don't do that, AMD supports Linux users better than Nvidia and update their open-source drivers regularly unlike Nvidia. If and at some point stop updating for Linux, then there will be other contributors who continue it.
@electricz3045 good to know, upgraded to a 5700xt from a gtx 1070. I'm loving it, running everything in 1440p or 4k with upscaling.

There’s a 4GB 580?
Interesting difference in overall temperatures and power draw. I think this is down to those individual models/make, as the fans of the RX 7700 XT must be overbuilt to consistently draw 25W more to keep it that cool. You would be generally saving up on your electric bill while still getting a very reasonable working temperature with the 6800 if this is an average user case, though. I for one got an RX6800 maybe 5 months before 7700 XT released, so it feels rather good to feel like my purchase was justified. I mean, sure, he mentions at the end (and during some benchmarks I skipped, guilty lol) that the power draw is actually closer, but without actual data to support it we don't know how much closer.
And now the 6800 is 380 dollars while 7700 is 409 dollars...Unless the 7700 drops to 350, there is no reason to get it.
Excellent FPS comparisons
Always go one with more vram
Bruh, RX 6800 wins in almost every aspects that matter.
It's more powerful, it has more VRAM, it draws less power. And if you're willing to get it used, RX 6800 is cheaper. From where I'm from, I can get a RX 6800 for about $250 while a used RX 7700 XT still cost more than $450.
how come older, higher tier card with more VRAM is consuming less electricity?
6800 is a much better deal, more ram is most important.
Just picked up a 6800 for 300 bucks on Facebook Marketplace. It was in great shape in the box SUPER happy with it for the money.
is it just me or the power consumption of the 7700xt is higher than the rx6800 in all games? the fps is pretty similar but the power draw is so different, although even having higher power usage the rx7700xt is way colder compared to the rx6800
He mentions the possible reason near the end of the video, stating the two cards don't report power draw via software in the same way, but in reality they use a similar amount of power. :)

Amazon has been blowing out Sapphire Pulse 6800's for 499,00 US, its a great card .
Hello daniel. 6800 xt is 90 dollars cheaper than 7800 xt in my country. Which one should i buy?
best thing about the 7700xt is the temperature. your ssd that usually sits between the cpu and gpu won't fry as quickly if you don't have good airflow. I always show the second gpu sensor hotspot as that'll be 5 to 10c above what is shown here for both. It's too bad afterburner doesn't show ssd temp. all the comparisons on here show some games better with one card than the other. stuttering with either card may relate to other hardware factors too as not everyone seems to experience them, not to mention they are often running different models of the same gpus on different dated drivers
Nanite, Lumen and FSR/DLSS all requires memory. Unreal Engine 5's Matrix demo wanted memory.
The choice is easy, RX 6800 16gb is the obvious winner.
Also, lets encourage GPU's manufacturing companies to increase the memory on these cards by purchasing GPUs with the most memory over newer GPU's that have similar rationalization performance with less memory.
hey i was wondering, would it be a good idea to upgrade from my rx 6700 xt to a rx 7800 xt?
6950хт more fps , low dollars
i also use msi afterburner but my rx6700xt never goes to 100% usage it stays 99% max why ??????????
So the 6800 is more power effecient(by alittle), much more VRAM and better frames at some moments. Unfortunately the card doesn't exist in my country and nor does it on websites where i dont get ripped off. So I thought screw it ill just get the 7700XT. It's new and should be fine for many years....... Upgrading from a 1660 TI 6gb card
i like your videos man ❤
can i use RX 6800 with 650watt PSU ?
Undervolt your card it only consume 220 watts maxed but please check the other components do you have
11400f + b560 Tomahawk + 2x8gb ddr4 viper blackout 3600 cl17, 2 HDD + 1 nvme m.2, 7 fans, 1 LED strips.
I'm noticing that the non-xt cards are usually really good with not generating too much heat. I'm seeing the same heat sink and same fans as would be on the XT version for less watts. The 6800 is about the same but with more memory and better thermals for less money than 7700 XT.
15:17 nice 😎
Look at the Watts... Are you sure the left screen was the Rx6800?
RDNA2 power draw is misleading, monitoring software only uses GPU chip power draw instead of total package power draw.

Very close performance. I would choose either over the 4060 ti.
4060ti is hot garbage compared to both of these GPUs
I got lucky. Best Buy has the 6800 for $389 right now. Had $55 dollars in coupons my mom wasn't going to use. $335 for that card. Absolute steal. I was so mad because i was broke during Black Friday due to car issues. Then i got a promotion and Christmas bonus. Saw this card with those coupons. I jumped on it.
Nice, that's a heck of a deal. Paid like 325 for mine used.
The 7700 xt has no right to use that much power. The rx 6800 is an underrated card.
lol why the 7700xt uses more power at around the same performance as the 6800
That's been my issue since I got my 1080 Ti. None of the gpu's around 200-300 really compete in terms of vram. I saw a 6700 xt 10gb for like 299 at best buy but that's still less vram.
temp diff is huge
This is especially true as you start scaling higher refresh rates.

@@__-fi6xg I have Rx 6600 it’s gonna meet it’s match a year later
prices go up for xmas, come down in jan sales (in theory)
just got a used 6800 on ebay for $300, excited to try it out
I wish AMD made a miniITX version of either card. 2 slot, 195mm or shorter. I’m looking at the 4060 basically as the most powerful card for my portable build.
LoL no, there's a reason why is that big and is temps, cards get too hot.
4000 series from Nvidia are reaaaally cool, they could do a 4070/4070ti low profile for sure.
@@erickalvarez6486 doesn’t need to be low profile, you could easily get a 2 fan, 2 slot design with a 195mm length.
I bought a Newegg open box Rx 6800 asrock phantom card for $320 6 months ago and it has been amazing at 1440p high settings and cool temps I got somewhat lucky took a chance
Does Immortals of Aveum Ultra preset use Lumen for reflections, ao, and shadows or just GI? Likewise, does the high preset in Layers of Fear use Lumen for more than GI? Just curious as I do not have either game.
How would cyberpunk perfrom on these GPUs, or at this level, Nvidia 4070+ required at 1080p ray tracing?
i felt so correct to bought used rx 6800 for $307
I've been following your videos for some weeks now and yesterday my RTX 4070 has died ... It was a superb card and RT in Cyberpunk 2077 looks great. But if I wanted to buy a new RTX 4070 now, I would pay 50 € more and for 600 € I do not find the price to performance really attractive anymore.
Now I saw a new RX 6800 for 455 € and I think to myself, for my needs that could be absolutely enough and after I saw your video I'm actually tempted to buy it.
Can I run RX 6800 on 650W Gold rated power supply with Intel i5 12400f ?
RX 7700 XT is so disappointing. It even uses more power than the RX 6800. Embarrassing! No wonder it was delayed.
6800 doesnt measure its complete power consumption, unlike 7700xt.
This has been explained plenty of times and video after video, people are not aware yet.
Having 12gb vram now is like having 3gb in 2016
Nah Vram is massively overrated. They'll optimize their games not to lose customers. You can run cyberpunk with raytracing on 8gb Vram...
What I meant is 12 is enough like how 3 was enough for the previous gen
@@karim_isma My bad I thought you were saying 12gb isn't enough...
@@simonbrockhoff5269 👍👍
Dang where I live the rx 6800 is $380 and the rx 7700 xt is $420
Can you do 3070 ti vs 7700xt (they are the same price)
Is it even a contest? The 3070Ti only has 8Gb of vram. I would personally consider 12 GB the bare minimum when buying a new card in that price range.
The 6800 is slightly faster then the 3070TI (not considering RT) , the 7700XT is about the same performance but has slightly better RT then the 6800, although I wonder how much you would see of that in practice.
@@really7187 i agree with you,, but i was wondering in terms of rasterization how they stack with all the latest drivers in the latest games. I much prefer higher fps with lower graphics than lower fps with ultra graphics. I cannot play single player games in which in cant achive at least 90 fps at all times, i m very used to the constant 160+ fps of competitive games. Considering that you cant play modern games with decent graphics at 1440p with 1% lows that don’t dip into the 60 maybe even lower, i still consider these cards to be 1080p targeted. Taking into consideration the above, i d say that, even in todays games, 1080p with high and maybe some ultra settings, no rt is fine for 8gb of vram (these are what i believe most gamers would choose their settings to be for a single player game)
Btw I bought the rtx 3070 ti used with 1 and a half years of warranty for 300 euros, i think it was a decent deal
Bought a 6800xt earlier this year. Do not regret;
I would take a rx 6800 but how should 340mm fit in my miditower??
You should've tested these cards in 4K - thats where the real difference in Vram comes to show.
Why no one talks about their clock speeds when they compare gpus? How do I know which 16gb vram vs 12gb vram is better? Im currently using msi mechx2 rx 6600 xt but currently looking to upgrade to match my 1440p much better, since 8gb vram is becoming left in the dust sooner and dont know if my my other monitor for 1080p will be future proof much further down the path.
