"If you care about Ray Tracing, the GeForce card is better value. If you don't care about Ray Tracing, the Radeon card offers better rasterization performance for the price" - this video, basically.
Edit: oh yeah, and just forget about the Non-Super refresh counterparts.

Meanwhile, the Mid-Year CPU Update:

AMD: Great and Zen 5 comes out soon!
Intel: EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE

Further update: It's revealed the entire 13th and 14th gen stack is compromised, everything 65w and up. RIP

The gaming industry is playing 4D chess, they're making PC games so unoptimized people will go back to consoles and GPU prices will lower.

[Nianfur]

For the price, there's still nothing for me to upgrade to from the RX 6800 XT.

[kaiserfakinaway]

mid year update? more like a MID year update

[AlexHusTech]

Got a 7800XT build, for £600! Came with 7600, A620, 2TB, 16GB.

[kaisersolo]

If you spending 500-600 you should be getting 16gb standard. Not spending that on 12gbvram

"The best of a bad situation." Quite an understatement.

[silenthero]

I bought me some 2nd hand RX6800 MSI Gaming Trio for around $300 last year. Still going strong 💪

[yulyman]

I always wait 2 generations for either mid or high end.

[Dragon]

still using a RX 5700 XT playing older games. Perfectly happy waiting for a decent card that won't cost an arm and a leg.

[randyneves]

I built my brother a gaming PC got his bday and got an XFX 7900GRE for 509.99 at MicroCenter

[Micaenes]

I’m still concerned about the memory bus for $400US is 128-bit. I would expect at least 192-bit for this price point.

Based on the current generation performance, I’m keeping my old as heck R9 390

[thefurmidablecatlucky]

even though the current gen GPU market isn't so good right now i think last gen AMD GPUs are amazing, we have 6650XT at $220, 6750XT at $300, 6800 non XT at $360, 6800XT at $430 .. all of which are really good value in my opinion

[allosaurus]

I got a AMD 7900 XTX just because I didn't want to give NVIDIA any more money while they're price gouging an entire industry

[tomstech]

Here in the UK its so broken.
4060ti or 7900GRE? gee that's hard lol
7900xt or pay +£100 (15%) for a budget 4070ti super
7900xtx or decent 4070ti super
You pretty much only buy Nvidia if you never compare prices and just don't care, I'm surrounded by Nvidia cards but it seems they don't want my money anymore so going forward all the builds I do will be AMD.

The problem is pricing and availability is different everywhere... RTX 40-series cards in sweden almost always cost more than in the US but also more than AMD GPUs which makes this video unaccurate for countries outside US.

" The best of bad situation " Couldn't have come up with a better title

[MrAckers]

Best bang for buck card …rx6800 by a mile
