That's all anecdotal of course! Many others might not
Have you seen the price expected of the 4070 and what it actually is spec wise ? Check out the poll thread in GPU section.

New AMD cards just around the corner..
Yeah. Still waiting, I honestly believe either AMD will come in better for a mid range card (like the 7700) or a large proportion of people will hold their money and wait for price drops.
Both companies have committed to wafers and production capacity so they can set their RRP at what they want but if they don't shift, in time prices will drop.
Should probably keep chat in those threads though to be honest instead of this announcement thread
It is a reasonable upgrade, but would at least wait for RDNA3, if it was me.

I love my XT but I don't think this would be much of an upgrade for you (30/35% ish?). Best to wait for the next round of cards tbh and then revaluate.

It's less than a month until the AMD announcement and even if the cards turn out to not be worth it from a price/performance perspective then at the very least the 6900XT will drop in price like a stone.

1 month 2 days.
..until announced, probably more like 2-3mths before you'll actually be able to buy one, especially in the UK, treated as we are like the red headed step child, by AMD when it comes to stock allocation.

Some salt with your chip Sir?
To give you an idea my 6900xt was GPU Score 22301 and 2080ti GPU Score was 14379 in TimeSpy so thats a big difference.

I’m binding a new pc been holding off 2 years now.
AMD or Intel . Was going to go full out on AMD for the first time in 20 years .
I was about to pull my wallet out and get the AMD RX 6950 XT ref for £799 but it’s now jumped back up £100. Not keen on the 2 year warranty these cars should be norm at 3 years.
Next is an Asus Tuf OC (overlockers has no stock) with an extra year warranty for a little more or less.
then get a I9 13900ks with a new 790 board.. not sure I like the 95c norm on the 7950x. At least I wouldn’t need to put the heating on this winter. Pc will only be used for Sim racing and other demanding games
Getting sweaty palms for this Asus card though I must say.

New AMD cards announced 3rd Nov, hold on just a few more weeks imo.
