Way to go, Mr. T, way to change it up. I think that this actual gaming should be a regular part of your channel with Gpu and Cpus for value to performance. Also, if possible, set up a server and invite some of your subscribers to game with you. It would make outstanding content. Keep doing what you do!!!
Imagine when u live into Eastern Europe and u work whole month for 500 to 600 euros and GC cost over 2000 euros, buy it man. U can only watch clips and dreaming about it.
@@Ivan80054 Maybe NV and AMD think fellas in East Europe earn 10000 Euros per month or something. I don't know about the import tax rate, but European gamers may better off just buying cards from eBay US and ship it to Europe.
Being a 4k gamer myself I personally won't even bother with raytracing until gpus become powerful enough to run them while still maintaining decent frames without any over-clocking, it's still a fairly new introduction to the gaming industry and for me it's not worth the performance loss even when purchasing the top of the line nvidia gpus.
My issue is that suddenly people with 6900xt or, like me, with 2080, look around and say:" Oh, shit, my gpu sucks!" . No it doesn't. You still get same damn frames in same games you played before. YOU DON'T NEED an upgrade every 2 years.
I used my RX 480 since its launch. So it was definitely time. It wasn't a bad experience overall. It benefited from an upgrade to a 5700x even. I just ended up eventually upgrading to a 6700 XT. Will probably use this for around 5 years as well.
One thing to note: i had a reference 7900 xtx which worked GREAT! However, those fan speeds hit 2900rpm so fast in order to cool the card. I swapped it out to a red devil at Microcenter and now it is quiet. Reference cards will be LOUD
yea i dont see the point when people complain about noise. its in your case and you play with headphones on, most people anyway, so what does it matter? and if your not playing a game, why are your fan speeds so high in the first place? if you play with speakers than the noise from the GPU should never be louder than the thing your playing. just saying idk why this is a complaint.
....yea the issue is the 6900XT isnt really a 4k GPU. i know it can handle it yea but every GPU can be played at 4k. the sweet spot and fps is the 1440p ultra settings where you dont have to to use software like FRS 3 to play at good frames. i have a 6900XT Toxic and i used to play at 4k, but 1440p is where its at. you can play absolutely maxed and also temps are super cool compared to at 4k. I also thew a under volt on it and I'm averaging nothing over 65 C on the hotspot. this will allow for far less paste replacement as well as heat management in your case. there is no need to play at 4k yet honestly. as much as everyone advertises 4k, basically you all fall for the trap. no card is 4k ready IMO. they all need software to play new games to have solid fps. maybe the next gen cards. but currently event the 4090 pumps out tons of heat just to keep up with 4k gaming. i dont see the worth when most PC owners use 1080p and 1440p respectively as monitors. 4k monitors are still way overpriced and most of the time have lower refresh rates.

6900XT is still a great card and for 1440p it is excellent. IMO, If you game at 4k, the 7900XTX is worth the extra $300 if it is within your budget. I average at least 50% better fps at 4k compared to my old 6900XT and the partner model 7900XTX's can stretch their legs a bit farther if you are willing to give them the juice, I can seen another 15% performance in some games when uncorking my XFX Merc 7900 XTX, granted it is consuming over 400W though, but still under 60C edge temps with quiet fan profile (45% Max). I never do FSR or DLSS balanced, it generally looks too soft and often introduces more artifacts than I personally like (more so FSR than DLSS) compared to the quality setting, which usually looks mostly excellent for both upscaling technologies and I have no problem using.

They promised a 1.7x increase, particularly in Cyberpunk. I remember that because they hype up their RT upgrade relentlessly. And it's actually only 30-40%. I am disappointed.

In MW2 the 7900 XTX performed about 50% better in all 3 titles, and only costs 42% more. Meaning the 7900 XTX is the most bang for your buck out of the two.
FYI, you should be pulling 135-145fps with CoD benchmark and the XTX. I suspect you are having an issue with windows trying to replace portions of the driver. As a test, DDU then re-install adrenaline with just the minimal install and run again. Curious

im seeing 3090s in the $600 range and 3080s in the 450-500 range. last gen high end gpus are going crazy cheap i gotta stop myself from impulse buying just because they are a good value
Funny how people think high end GPUs just became expensive. Back in 2006 the 8800 ultra was $800-900 ($1200-1350 today) High end gpus have always been expensive.
Got myself a 3070 suprim x (£420) and my wife got rx 6800 gaming x trio (£420 only a few weeks used) we are good for a few years, couldn’t be bothered with the new cards or their prices
My 1080 TI is 5 years old. £799 is the maximum I want to spend on a new card. I need to find a card that's not too power hungry as my PSU won't handle it. 4070TI looks like a good buy for me but I just can't bring myself to pay that amount for a 70 series card.
I had the same issue, jumped from the 1080TI to a 4070TI, it is a great card for 1440p. Your other options are: wait for the 4070 or the 7800 XT, hope for a price drop or buy used.
$699 6950 XT's right now at AMD. I had budgeted and planned for a new build, but decide to do one last AM4 upgrade and save myself $1500ish. 5800X3D and 6950 XT, along with 3 free games. To be fair I was only planning to buy COH 3 though.
Only way the 4080 will sell is if it’s $1000. Otherwise people are throwing their money away due to loyalty. 7900xtx is by far a better value than the 4080/90.
I honestly think RT is a gimmick and only proposed by people who have the top hardware to justify the purchase. I honestly have seen RT on and off, and it doesn't impress me in anyway. Also, the graphical difference between ultra and very high/high, is not much either. You'd have to zoom in on the details that are changed between those settings, but during actual gameplay, nobody's going to notice. Better to just play on high/very high and save some frames rather than running it on ultra for the sake of running it on ultra.
I got myself the 7900xtx but for my wifes build I got the 6950xt for 699 with 50 bucks off my cpu also came with free 32 6000mhz ram. The cpu was a 7700x that also came with the new star wars game survivor. So a win win for us.
Hmm, I was getting 70-80+ FPS on ultra in 4k on the 4070ti on requiem... I'm here trying to decide whether I should return that and grab the XTX, but not convinced.
@@rabbychan having 32gb is really beneficial, many multiplayer games use 12gb ram and up. It doesnt cost that much more either. My Escape from tarkov game started running alot better with 32gb over 16gb. But anyway you can get 16gb if you want, i only paid like 70$ for my 32gb g skills trident z
Just picked up a Gigabyte RX 6900XT Gaming OC for $555 new from Microcenter for my second rig. Pretty sure it's a steal. For some reason it was $5 cheaper than the Asrock RX 6800 XT Phantom Gaming D OC.
Pretty sure it is. Grabbed a 6950XT for 700 and shockingly it cost much less than my 3070ti at the height of the pandemic, despite being comfortably more powerful.
I was debating with myself if it's worth upgrading my 6950XT to a 7900XTX but I very rarely can see ray tracing unless I have to pixel-peep. The 7000 series is decent uplift but simply doesn't seem enough for me to lose money on selling my 6950XT and then pay the premium of a 7900XTX.
@@ahwayzcool4630 I got a 6700 xt and am debating whether to go 6950 xt since there easy to find under 700. I really want a 3090 but used market still sits close to 4070 ti pricing.
I prefer Path tracing to Ray tracing, imagining is much more crisp and no big penalty to the GPU. Unreal 5 Engines updates are making Ray Tracing pretty much obsolete anyway.
It seems like raytracing isn't worth it right now. maybe in a couple of years. The average person can't tell the difference between RTX being on off according to testing.
dont they say this every time. you buy the 2060 its as fast as a 1070 then things start to get optimized and before you know it a 2060 is a 1080. one this is the 10 series didnt have a sync compute
GPU prices so high. I wanna upgrade my 6700xt that I use for 4k medium settings. I know its better for 1400p high refresh, but I have a 4k monitor. Prices make me wanna go get a 6900xt instead of anything available. LOL I'm still cool with my GPU though. Scared to buy another clearly
Have to wait for better games and better all. So won't see new things on GPUs from now on. RV is like PS Move 😂. So , middle budget GPU are great... Just add lights and fans and more lights. Thanks for the video! Very helpful info to decide my next GPU ( I'm still using rx580 8gb ( bought it maybe rescued from a mine, slave GPU case😂))
If you want even better FPS in RT games you get a RTX 3080 or 3090 from used market and skip all the new overpriced crap cards witll 2024 with no problem.
What is your ram speed? I get 200+ fps with my RTX 3090 ti. 32gb 3600 ram my CPU is still a beastly 5900X..? Yes on full maxed Extreme settings 🤘 resolution is 5K or 5120 x 1440p.
Testing RT is utterly stupid of you. RT is far from interesting at this point I mean even path tracing is impressive but what does impressive do for you when u cant enjoy it ? GPUs are not mature for RT at this point or the developers are holding RT perf back so they can milk us. Whats the point in having DLSS or FSR to cheat ? If u cant pass 60fps with all the eye candy on with out having to use external hard drive to achieve it how can u boast about it ? Hey I'm a Fiat but I could be a lambo with AI installed...

Great video. I recently picked up an ASRock 6950XT OCF for $700 added a water block to it for $180. With some OC/tweaking easily gives me 7900XT/4080 performance at 4K except for the RT.
MW2 is a terrible benchmark for the 6900xt, cause the game is not optimized at driver level for that game. You made a terrible comparison there. (thats why the not supported tag was there. not because a "glitch") To do a fair comparison you must pit both of them to the latest game supported/optimized on the 6900xt and 7900xtx drivers and mw2 is not the rigth benchmark for that...
What you feel most are the dips in framerate. Under 60 fps lows for 7900 XTX, under 40 fps for 6900 XT in first benchmark. I wouldn't want to play in 4k with either of those cards.

im seeing 3090s in the $600 range and 3080s in the 450-500 range. last gen high end gpus are going crazy cheap i gotta stop myself from impulse buying just because they are a good value
Turn off ray tracing and you get excellent performance.
Funny how people think high end GPUs just became expensive. Back in 2006 the 8800 ultra was $800-900 ($1200-1350 today) High end gpus have always been expensive.
Can't wait until we start seeing $4000 for a card
And mid range cards?
Got myself a 3070 suprim x (£420) and my wife got rx 6800 gaming x trio (£420 only a few weeks used) we are good for a few years, couldn’t be bothered with the new cards or their prices
Bigger Box = Bigger Value...🤣
My 1080 TI is 5 years old. £799 is the maximum I want to spend on a new card.
I need to find a card that's not too power hungry as my PSU won't handle it. 4070TI looks like a good buy for me but I just can't bring myself to pay that amount for a 70 series card.
Depends what settings you wanna play at
@@heroicsquirrel3195 1440p. Which is why I like the 4070 TI.
@@lorcaranr you’re gonna have to just wait for price drops or sales and hope your 1080 holds out till then, I’d personally go with a last gen card
I had the same issue, jumped from the 1080TI to a 4070TI, it is a great card for 1440p. Your other options are: wait for the 4070 or the 7800 XT, hope for a price drop or buy used.
$699 6950 XT's right now at AMD. I had budgeted and planned for a new build, but decide to do one last AM4 upgrade and save myself $1500ish. 5800X3D and 6950 XT, along with 3 free games. To be fair I was only planning to buy COH 3 though.
Look at RSR for the AMD cards. 👍
I got an Asrock 6900 XT for $650 including 2 games last black Friday. Great card.
Only way the 4080 will sell is if it’s $1000. Otherwise people are throwing their money away due to loyalty.
7900xtx is by far a better value than the 4080/90.
I honestly think RT is a gimmick and only proposed by people who have the top hardware to justify the purchase. I honestly have seen RT on and off, and it doesn't impress me in anyway. Also, the graphical difference between ultra and very high/high, is not much either. You'd have to zoom in on the details that are changed between those settings, but during actual gameplay, nobody's going to notice. Better to just play on high/very high and save some frames rather than running it on ultra for the sake of running it on ultra.
After you accomplish true 4k at 60fps.
Do you really need more than that?
Me sitting here with my 6800 non xt
I wonder how the 6950xt would perform.
It does really well still
If you already have an 6900 xd, sure don’t buy the xtx. If you have a 6+ year old gpu and the money the xtx is an insane buy
I’m seeing 7900xts at MSRP but 0 6900xt at msrp
I remember the days when Crysis was the ultimate benchmark
yeah some new games now definitely push it further
@@ClassicalTechnology what about driver problems with the 7900xt/xtx, i read alot about micro stutters, blackscreen, crashes...
CP2077 might be the closest to it right now, but still not the same as crysis was then
@@aga1nsty0u 😳 CP? Cheese pizza?
Cyberpunk is a piece of cake against Forspoken.
Man, i am glad i did not get that model of 7900xtx, running 600 mhz lower than my sapphire lmao
Heck my sapphire 6900xt even stuck around 2650mhz under load,
Interested with these tests in 1440p...
I got myself the 7900xtx but for my wifes build I got the 6950xt for 699 with 50 bucks off my cpu also came with free 32 6000mhz ram. The cpu was a 7700x that also came with the new star wars game survivor. So a win win for us.
Hmm, I was getting 70-80+ FPS on ultra in 4k on the 4070ti on requiem... I'm here trying to decide whether I should return that and grab the XTX, but not convinced.
Got a rx 6900 xt for $525 right before black Friday on newegg. I'd say thats a steal.
any chance for this with the 6950 XT?
Great Video.
if he didnt have the fps in the corner you wouldnt know the difference :)
5800x3d and 6800xt with 32gb cl16 3200mhz, youll be more than happy!
Yeah this is sounding like a perfect gaming system for years
isn't 16gb enough purely for gaming?
@@rabbychan having 32gb is really beneficial, many multiplayer games use 12gb ram and up. It doesnt cost that much more either. My Escape from tarkov game started running alot better with 32gb over 16gb. But anyway you can get 16gb if you want, i only paid like 70$ for my 32gb g skills trident z
@@03Edgar Alright, don't worry, I was genuinely asking as I'm certainly not an expert myself, lol.
@@rabbychan me either I’m just going based of experience. I do see many videos saying 16gb is good, but why not 32gb. Have a great day
Just picked up a Gigabyte RX 6900XT Gaming OC for $555 new from Microcenter for my second rig. Pretty sure it's a steal. For some reason it was $5 cheaper than the Asrock RX 6800 XT Phantom Gaming D OC.
Pretty sure it is. Grabbed a 6950XT for 700 and shockingly it cost much less than my 3070ti at the height of the pandemic, despite being comfortably more powerful.
I was debating with myself if it's worth upgrading my 6950XT to a 7900XTX but I very rarely can see ray tracing unless I have to pixel-peep. The 7000 series is decent uplift but simply doesn't seem enough for me to lose money on selling my 6950XT and then pay the premium of a 7900XTX.
If I wasn't still using a 5700 xt and had a 6950 xt I wouldn't be even considering
What if you had a 6800 xt? Would it be worth upgrading then? I have the 6800 xt and really thinking about it.
@@ahwayzcool4630 I got a 6700 xt and am debating whether to go 6950 xt since there easy to find under 700. I really want a 3090 but used market still sits close to 4070 ti pricing.
@@StayPuft209 I ended up getting a asrock phantom 7900 xtx.
I picked up a 6950 xt red Devil open box for $571. Amazing card.
Did you remember to reinstall the driver and Radeon software -_-
hey, it seems like your microphone has some weird clipping issue at times, i remember hearing it in some other video you did as well. example 9:13 ish
Thank you I will look into it
I prefer Path tracing to Ray tracing, imagining is much more crisp and no big penalty to the GPU. Unreal 5 Engines updates are making Ray Tracing pretty much obsolete anyway.
It seems like raytracing isn't worth it right now. maybe in a couple of years. The average person can't tell the difference between RTX being on off according to testing.
PS5 is cheap and playable as well. LOL
7900 xt is a decoy product... Nvidia and amd did employ decoys to sell older stock cards
Y don't U do Productivity benchmark, blander, Davin-chi resolve, premier pro viewport performance and render, export............????????
Dont buy AMD GPU, steal it!
dont they say this every time. you buy the 2060 its as fast as a 1070 then things start to get optimized and before you know it a 2060 is a 1080. one this is the 10 series didnt have a sync compute
GPU prices so high. I wanna upgrade my 6700xt that I use for 4k medium settings. I know its better for 1400p high refresh, but I have a 4k monitor. Prices make me wanna go get a 6900xt instead of anything available. LOL I'm still cool with my GPU though. Scared to buy another clearly
turn on VSR in gpu settings and it should enable gaming in 8k then compare it to DLDSR on nvidia.
Have to wait for better games and better all. So won't see new things on GPUs from now on. RV is like PS Move 😂. So , middle budget GPU are great... Just add lights and fans and more lights. Thanks for the video! Very helpful info to decide my next GPU ( I'm still using rx580 8gb ( bought it maybe rescued from a mine, slave GPU case😂))
Man, what is this CASE of the PC ?????
Just buy a 4090 there is no better Option. And yes it is expensive!
did he use proper Display Port cables for the new 2.1?
The first timestamp a typo?
I am planning to visit Orlando in a couple of months. I was hoping to buy a 6950xt reference GPU. Is it widely available and how much does it cost?
You won't find local availability, all online, I live here
@@Specter-iq6xm thanks mate
If you want even better FPS in RT games you get a RTX 3080 or 3090 from used market and skip all the new overpriced crap cards witll 2024 with no problem.
6900xt is still a best in mid 2024 yes 7900 and 4090 will get you more fos however it doesnt matter. smooth fps is smooth.
and he is running 6900 at reference stock speeds :)
Strange video . . . So you are paying 40% less and getting 40% less performance. Any surprises?
What is your ram speed? I get 200+ fps with my RTX 3090 ti. 32gb 3600 ram my CPU is still a beastly 5900X..? Yes on full maxed Extreme settings 🤘 resolution is 5K or 5120 x 1440p.
Definitely 🧢
Testing RT is utterly stupid of you. RT is far from interesting at this point I mean even path tracing is impressive but what does impressive do for you when u cant enjoy it ? GPUs are not mature for RT at this point or the developers are holding RT perf back so they can milk us. Whats the point in having DLSS or FSR to cheat ? If u cant pass 60fps with all the eye candy on with out having to use external hard drive to achieve it how can u boast about it ? Hey I'm a Fiat but I could be a lambo with AI installed...
where did you got the reference card?
There's just one simple catch, the 7900 XTX doesn't exist! Let alone at $1k.
rtx 3070 to amd rx 6950 xt good enough i FPS rendering
what software are you using to benchmark?
That is msi afterburner
@@ClassicalTechnology Thank you
i don't like mixed settings
Playing 16bit console games on a raspberry pi3....screw modern games and current hardware prices.
Your 1 percent lows were terrible across all the games you tested. Something is wrong with your system. Your 1 percent lows should not be 1 fps
I think that was because of the recording settings, I am adjusting it now
I got a new RX6800 for $450 with twi games upgraded from a RX580 8GB and I love this card so far it's been able to play just about everything at 4K60FPS at max settings or near max I was aiming at a Nvidia card but not with thisrs prices hell a 3070 non TI was like $250 more expensive than my RX6800 so it was a no brainer move for me I was going to wait fir a new gen card but there prices are crazy and I just keep hearing more bad new and sketch around them I said fuck this nonsense and went with last gen saved me a lot of stress down the line.
Why do you keep saying that in every video? Seriously, what do you get out of it? I think you might be a narcissist.

What VR games do you play and are the most challenging?
I can save you the time. Do NOT buy an XTX for VR .
Assetto Corsa Competizione or dirt rally 2.0
AMD has terrible VR software support
Damm, i will wait nvidia to lower prices before i buy 1.5k 4080
Great video. I recently picked up an ASRock 6950XT OCF for $700 added a water block to it for $180. With some OC/tweaking easily gives me 7900XT/4080 performance at 4K except for the RT.
For only 100 dollars more you could've gotten the 7900 XTX. Why pay almost 900 bucks for a 6950 XT?
@@alpha13sierra man, don't make him feel bad
@@alpha13sierra In the USA maybe. In Europe XTX cost easy 1100-1300 euros.

Same, only good deal at the moment.
This deal is still up and tempting. 7900 xt is $830 too
😅..call of duty game Wah....very nice game. But..flooded with hacker too...🤔😅😅
My rtx 3080 ti is more then good enough.
MW2 is a terrible benchmark for the 6900xt, cause the game is not optimized at driver level for that game. You made a terrible comparison there. (thats why the not supported tag was there. not because a "glitch")
To do a fair comparison you must pit both of them to the latest game supported/optimized on the 6900xt and 7900xtx drivers and mw2 is not the rigth benchmark for that...
My point is that it’s a popular game people play, so it’s a realistic experience of what someone with this Gpu will see
Comment for engagement, engage I did.
Nice!
What you feel most are the dips in framerate. Under 60 fps lows for 7900 XTX, under 40 fps for 6900 XT in first benchmark.
I wouldn't want to play in 4k with either of those cards.
