The reviews all look great! From other sites where ppl can comment, not so much. To address the number 1 complaint this card looks to be for anyone who hasn't made the leap yet, like me! I am finally upgrading from my 2016 PC build which features an rx 480. I know most people who follow AMD and post are mostly people who keep buying the new cards, but there are a ton of us who don't have that luxury, and this card is absolutely the perfect upgrade! Best value and trumps most of the other cards out there without spending hundreds more. For me this will be a world of difference coming from the rx 480, I can't wait for everything to arrive! Also love building PC's and I don't get to do it often.
I'm in the same boat, I have a gtx 1060 card, an also looking to upgrade.
Even though the 6800 xt and 7800 xt is almost the same in performance, the 7800 xt is about 93$ cheaper, while also being more power effecient.
I also looked at the 6950 xt, as that is 50$ more than the 7800 xt. But looking at power consumption, it's almost using alot more.
So I also think I'm going with the 7800 xt, but I would like others input
As someone who owns a 6900 XT buy a lower power card. My system sometimes will lock up during hot days of I play for more than 4 hours in one sitting without the fans maxed out. Nevermind how insanely hot my room gets.
High TDP cards are awful. Though at least I have good frames.
Haha thank you, I will stick with the 7800 xt then
