Decent upgrade from a 6800XT?

[StevieP]

I've got a bit of an upgrade itch and am wondering what a decent upgrade from my 6800XT would be?

I game at 1440p and the rest of my specs are in my sig.

Ideally a quiet GPU too!

Not sure there really is at the moment. I upgraded from a 6800 to a 7900GRE which gave me a decent uplift and a decent RT amount as well although not comparable to 4000 series Nvidia cards. I am happy as I really wanted a sapphire nitro. If I were you I would wait for RDNA 4 or possibly a reduced price 4080 super if it comes up.

Best to wait for more news on RDNA 4, unless you have a lot of cash to burn. E.g. 7800 XT is barely any faster than what you have.

There are rumours of 8000 series card coming before the end of the year. Though nothing confirmed. I'm on a 6800 and am waiting for those to upgrade

Yea I wouldn't bother either mate.

Unless you are properly minted or the money isn't a factor then sure, whatever, otherwise I don't think it's worth it.

 

[StevieP]

Fair play - thanks for the replies - looks like I'm going to hang-fire for the time being!

 

[JediFragger]

Yup stick it out imo and just tweak settings when required, 6800XT still a solid card and really only the XTX to go from there for a decent uplift.

 

[TripleT]

Similar story, on a 6800 so will see what new cards come out.

I think I would hold fire as well. 6800xt is a solid card.

Just hold on to later in the year.

 

[Tommy_Here]

Definitely hold onto. The XTX/4080 super is the minimum I’d be looking at - but I wouldn’t be spending that money on 2 year old tech

Upgrade your CPU instead, 5700X3D.

Upgrade your CPU instead, 5700X3D.

Is this a worthwhile upgrade? A quick Google (albeit only on of these benchmark score websites) would seem to suggest not much of a difference between my 5600X and a 5700X3D??

Depends on the game/software/resolution, the 5700x3d has 2 extra cores and extra L3.

 

[StevieP]

Truth be told I'm not exactly struggling to run anything I'm playing - the (I assume) GPU fans could stand to be a bit quieter but other than that I'd be just ust upgrading for the sake of it!

Wait until there's solid news for next round of GPUs unless there's a game that's bothering you but then you'll have to spend to get a significant upgrade.

Ditto, its still capable, but its 4yrs old and i want something new and shiny.

 

[B@Th*nG]

would wait

 

[ATIorNvidia]

May as well wait for RDNA4 if you're not struggling to run anything, unless you want to fork out £800+ for ~4080 performance, which is absolutely not worth it.
