Best GPU for £350-400 advice

[Jackabamba]

Morning guys, Looking for some advice please, What would you say is the best (preowned) GPU for 350-400. Is it still the 3070?

Thanks in advance

Should be looking at a 3080 for that price.

or the 6800xt if you're not averse to going AMD

3080. But if you're prepared to take your time and snipe auctions, you can get a 3080ti for £450

I just sold a RX6800 for £400 great card.

No he mentions he's looking pre-owned.

New he's looking at a 6800 or even a 6800XT if a good offer comes up (6800XT isusually nearer £450 but occasionally have dipper below 400).

Great advice so far guys! I have a £400 CEX voucher hence why I mentioned the 3070

Apologies it's Monday morning.

Everything there is poor value. There are better brand new options at your budget rather than a second hand 3070 from CEX.

6700XT at the £300 mark new is very similar to a 3070 performance wise. A 6800 is even better if your budget can stretch.

Didnt even look at the 6800!

What are peoples thoughts on the 6750XT? Is it worth the jump to the 6800?

6750xt is a slightly Overclocked 6700xt which is not worth it for 1 to 2% boost, 6800 is on average 10 to 20% faster than the 6700xt depending on the game.

Take a look at this review of the 6700xt it compares to other GPUs ,mite help you decide.

If you have the chance of getting a 6800, I'd get it over the 3070 unless you need specific Nvidia features. The 6700xt/6750xt is only at the level of a 3060ti and I wouldn't bother tbh.

The more I'm looking I think the 6700XT is going to best value for me. If it was a choice between that and the 3070 where would you guys tend to go? Thanks all again by the way for the input

I always go with AMD, not because im a fanboi or anything, I prefer the driver, you dont need 3rd party software to undervolt or overclock the cards, its all built into the driver.

RX6800's are selling for £300-£350
RX6800XT's are selling for £400-£430
on a famous auction site.

the 6700xt is usually slower than the 3070
the 3070 only has 8gb vram which will hamper it going forwards in the next few years
neither the 6700xt nor the 3070 makes sense if you have the chance to get the 6800/6800xt/3080

Ok so I should really be going for the 6800 then

If you can it's worth the extra.
