RX6700XT v RX6750XT v RTX3060Ti

Semple · 31 Jan 2023 at 11:54

Which is likely to be the better card for £. They all sit around the £400-450 bracket.

I'm gaming at 1440p, from benchmarks it looks like the 6750XT just gets an edge over the 3060Ti, but some reviews suggest with ray tracing or DLSS that the 6750XT don't perform as well as the 3060Ti.

MSI Radeon RX 6750 XT Gaming X Trio Review

MSI's Radeon RX 6750 XT runs whisper-quiet thanks to a well-tuned profile that maximizes the efficiency of the triple-fan, triple-slot thermal solution. Performance is also good, making this an excellent choice for all gamers using the 1440p resolution.

The 3060Ti is also a bit of an older card, although the refreshed 6750XT seems to be quite power hungry.

Any thoughts on which way I should lean towards.

For reference it'll be running in my new AM5/7600X rig.

If RT is a thing for you, RDNA2 cards are not the cards you are looking for & DLSS will likely give you more in the long run, in terms of support and IQ, than FSR.

3060Ti is/was the best bang for the buck card of the last gen, apart from the 3080, but its ridiculously overpriced for an EOL GPU, at £450

I'd feel really, really dirty buying one, TBH.

But if you can take it, go with a 3060Ti.

3060ti not going to be much good for RT going forward even if it is better than the AMD cards in that dept, DLSS us nothing earth-shattering, and with the 6750 you're getting better lonegevity with the 6750XT because of 12GB VRAM, 8GB is really scraping the barrel these days and will be a limit in some games.

I've had a 3060ti and a 6700XT and I'm happy I sold the NV card and got the 6700XT.

The 6750XT is the best card out of the three,and Ray tracing,especially with FSR enabled,isn't as bad as people make out.I swapped my 3070 for a 6800,overclocked it,and it destroys the 3070,and is probably on par with a 3080

humbug · 31 Jan 2023 at 13:55

I wouldn't buy an 8GB card full stop these days, i would rule the 3060Ti out just for that....

Freddie1980 · 31 Jan 2023 at 14:08

At 1440p the ray tracing argument is kind of a mute point as performance is on the whole pretty terrible with it enabled, personally I would go with the card with the better cooler and warranty, if all being equal I would probably opt for the 6750XT as the extra VRAM would be helpful and 8GB on cards this expensive isn't good enough as Mr President of the Star Citizen fanclub above says.

Forza 5
Rust
FC6 with the HD texture pack.

Other than Isonzo, Supreme Commander Forged Alliance and Star Citizen which unlike those ^^^ doesn't have any actual issues with 8GB VRam those are the only games i'm playing at the moment, i might be unlucky with my choice of games but if i was paying £500 for card now i think i'd be taking a risk with an 8GB GPU.

BTW, i have an RTX 2070 Super, which is slower than a 3060Ti.

Yeah that's what's bugging me a bit is that's quite an old card now, and for that price. Rumours suggest the 4060Ti could be out by the summer and I'd be a bit annoyed if I bought one now and could have waited 6 months for a newer card.

SpudMaster · 31 Jan 2023 at 14:29

Only the most Nvidia biased would suggest a 3060ti and use RT as a persuasion tactic in this performance bracket. A 4090 struggles with RT in certain games, do you think its gonna work well on a 3060ti

Trying to push people to buy cards they are likley to have VRam limitation problems with over the next few years is what bugs me.

If you're not in a rush you absolutely should wait.

I'm stuck between the same rock and very hard place, having ruled out the 3070 completely but wanting to stick with Nvidia is frustrating the hell out of me..... the salt added to that is the 4070Ti, its £850 and 12GB. That tells me Nvidia don't give a #### because lower end cards will be 10GB or less for stupid money.

Why did you rule out the 3070 out of interest?

EDIT - Just seen your comment on not buying an 8GB card, never mind.

I bought one (an FE) in October for MSRP... Given i only play Warcraft and was coming from a 1070 i am pretty sure it would last me a little while...

The whole new and second hand market around the £200 - £400 is ****** due to new pricing as well as people falling over themselves to pay near retail price for used / miners cards.

As Humbug said if you can wait would be a good idea or pick up something as a stop gap as I recently picked up a rx 6600 for a nice price and although its slower than the cards youre looking at its been solid so far and the power consumption on it is amazing for the performance.

I have no idea what the pricing is like on these but would a 6700 intrest you:

AMD Radeon RX 6700 Specs

AMD Navi 22, 2450 MHz, 2304 Cores, 144 TMUs, 64 ROPs, 10240 MB GDDR6, 2000 MHz, 160 bit

They were £300 - £330 at one point and that made it a pretty attractive option, but they're £350+ now

I think one of the problems is the 7900XT, 4080 and 4070Ti pricing has push people to buy the older cards.

The supply and demand effect of that is the prices of those are being pushed up.
IMO these are very deliberate tactics, i have no hope for the future of PC gaming, its in an unsustainable greed bubble.

You can get a Powercolor Figher RX 6800 16GB gpu from the rainforest for £485. Shame a waterblock doesnt seem to exist for the card otherwise I'd probably have bought one

In my recent search for one i stumbled across it, just a heads up as its not immediately obvious, its a US import, Import taxes are included with that price and paid by the seller.

Wind your neck in.

The guy asked for an opinion on three cards, all of which have their pros & cons and an argument can be made for anyone of them, given the buyers preferences. He specifically mentioned RT & DLSS, which is why i leaned towards the 3060, both areas in which Nvidia is far better.

As for the VRAM issue, its the same old story, by the time you need more than what's on your card, it will be too slow anyway.

There are problems with 8GB cards, not just the 3070, or the 3060Ti, but cards older and slower than that. The argument that you will run out of GPU grunt before VRam with these cards may have been true for the GTX 1070, its complete nonsense for anything newer than that right now.
