My current system:
MB: ASRock Z590 Extreme motherboard
CPU: i7 11700kf (liquid cooled 360mm)
RAM: 64GB memory
GPU: 6700 XT 12GB
HD: 1TB 7000mb/s m.2 (I have a second 1TB m.2 5300mb/s just for use as a scratch disk)
Monitors: Dual 32" IPS 1440p 165hz
I only bought the video card because it's what the best thing a physical store had in stock that I could afford. I always intended to sell it to someone for a decent price and upgrade. I am not looking to go Nvidia, as I still want to save money and those 40xx cards seem ridiculously huge. Plus I don't like those crazy power connectors.
My motherboard is only PCIe 4.0. But I don't think cards use or take advantage of PCIe 5.0 yet, right? Will my CPU be a bottleneck?
6900 XT 16GB is $719 and is like 63% faster effective speed than my current card
6950 XT 16GB is $789 but only adds minimal increase in speed than the 6900.. not worth the extra price unless I found a good deal.. so I think I can cross this one the list.
7900 XT 20GB is $899
7950 XTX 24GB is $999 (sold out though)
I do editing on Adobe Premiere, Photoshop, and Illustrator. I kind of want that new PC game coming out Returnal.. it requires 32GB memory, but I don't like space themed stuff, but I'm sure I'll find something else with good specs to play).
Should I go with the 6900 or 7900 series?
Anyone buying into some people saying AMD released RDNA 3 too early and that the bugs can't be software fixed?
GPU size is not an issue as I have the thing mounted horizontally on a riser.
