    Trying to decide between 6600XT and 6700XT

    So unusual for me - I'm normally the opposite and always buying at just the wrong time :D

    Trying to decide between 6600XT and 6700XT

    Well, I just wanted to say that even if the prices drop further I have no regrets on the 6700XT Nitro+ DPD surprised me by delivering it on Saturday afternoon. It took me until late Saturday to get the PC back together. I also had bought the Scythe Mugen 5 PCGH version because the noise from...

    Trying to decide between 6600XT and 6700XT

    I added a Scythe Mugen 5 PCGH edition to the order too for my 3700X which allegedly runs at 14dB. I have a hard time believing that but if anywhere near true, it should finally shut this thing up! I was all set on going AIO really but as always bottled out at the last minute due to too many...

    Trying to decide between 6600XT and 6700XT

    Absolutely - thank you @Gibbo and @TrojanWhore That price drop was enough to nudge me to the Nitro with it's triple fans. Am actually rather excited for the first time in a while. Just a bit of a shame I have to wait until Monday but never mind, I've been waiting since 2020 a day or two more...

    Trying to decide between 6600XT and 6700XT

    LOL! I didn't like to ask that, but I admit it would be useful info - I really do need to crack on and get my head into work this afternoon :D

    Trying to decide between 6600XT and 6700XT

    Thanks for the heads-up, hopefully I won't miss things as I've pretty much decided on a Sapphire.

    Trying to decide between 6600XT and 6700XT

    I have seen it but XFX is a completely unknown brand to me. Brands have been another hot topic over the last couple of years - there was one that came out smelling of roses all the time but I forget who it was. It certainly wasn't MSI or Gigabyte, that's for sure!

    Trying to decide between 6600XT and 6700XT

    This one: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-radeon-rx-6700-xt-mech-2x-12gb-gddr6-pci-express-graphics-card-gx-37s-ms.html It doesn't look like OC do the Gaming X. I think the main difference is in clock speeds. It's just general reviews that I've read online suggesting that it's noisy / hot -...

    Trying to decide between 6600XT and 6700XT

    No, I definitely agree. After buying my 1080 at £750 I swore I'd never spend that much on a GPU again but £550 is def. in the realms of what I'm willing to pay. I'd stretch a little more to be honest. And I know some people have been able to score deals and FE MSRP bargains and so on, but I can...

    Trying to decide between 6600XT and 6700XT

    I think if one of the Sapphires (6700XT) was priced the same as the MSI then I'd pull the trigger. Finding info on whether the Nitro is worth the extra 50 quid over the standard Pulse is a lot harder but my impression is that it's probably not a big deal. I've never really been too concerned...

    Trying to decide between 6600XT and 6700XT

    I guess I can wait a few more weeks. I've been waiting since the start of 2020 after all. With the house needing rewiring I'd need to unplug a bunch of stuff just to be able to use the PC at the moment :D But I hadn't really considered the hike in energy prices. Isn't that just going to be yet...

    Trying to decide between 6600XT and 6700XT

    Well tbh that matches my past experience with the AMD MSI card I owned in the past. We're going back a good few generations now though. But I'm reading idle temps in the high 40's and gaming temps in the 80's but noisy with it. The problem is that noise is subjective and I'm very fussy about...

    Trying to decide between 6600XT and 6700XT

    I swear I didn’t see the Sapphire Pulse at 600 yesterday! Maybe I did and passed it over as there are no comments or reviews (customer ones). I haven’t had a huge amount of time to go trawling review sites and when I do the reviews seem to be from last summer and just rant about pricing which is...

    Trying to decide between 6600XT and 6700XT

    As for all the other replies. I tend to agree and am erring on the side of a 6700XT but I’ve sort of learnt my lesson once. Common sense says to wait longer and hope prices come down further, gut feeling is afraid of then being back into the no stock scenario so contemplating buy now while I...

    Trying to decide between 6600XT and 6700XT

    your pricing is definitely the best right now for sure. There was a point last year where you certainly weren’t but things were all over the place generally to the point I just gave up and went to the PS5. But there’s something about playing on a PC I miss after all these years. anyway, I’m not...

    Trying to decide between 6600XT and 6700XT

    Can anyone help me out here please? I used to have a GTX1080 xtreme from Gigabyte before I stupidly sold it for a couple hundred quid in 2019 thinking an upgrade was just round the corner (then look what happened!). Since then up until last summer I used an 8GB RX580 Sapphire card until I moved...

    Anyone just given up on looking for a new GPU?

    Oh, that’s annoying, half an hour after I checked. Looks like they all went while I was out in the real world. Anyone want to buy an X570 based system with a weak GPU?

    Anyone just given up on looking for a new GPU?

    have been seriously considering this myself. Especially with the all access pass. I’ve got a few things I play though that are PC only. Not much though.

    Anyone just given up on looking for a new GPU?

    Oh, now there’s a thought! My immediate reaction was that it’s 25 miles to the nearest town of any size but actually that’s not true. We have a local repair shop and a local computer shop. Ordinarily I don’t tend to bother too much because online is usually significantly cheaper, but you’re...

    Anyone just given up on looking for a new GPU?

    I’ve pretty much given up for now. Just checking once or twice a week and usually in the evenings so I’m probably not going to get anything that way. I’m quietly hopeful that as lockdown eases and the better weather arrives demand for indoor items might wane. I doubt it but I can hope I guess.
