Is it worth upgrading from a 6800XT yet?

Hello All,

As per the title, is it worth spending the money on a 7900xt is the price point right or is ppl waiting on the next lot of GPU's.

I'm playing most games at 4k mixed settings, but Dragons Dogma 2 is giving me quite low FPS so thinking it might be time to jump.

I dont think its worth it financially but its your money of course.

You could be right, Ive been saying that for the last year but some games im starting to notice I need more gpu grunt. How long are we looking at for the next wave of GPU releases??

Problem is there is nothing that gives a performance boost big enough to justify the money you have to spend to purchase that option. If we skip the price tag for a second I feel the only card with enough juice for 4k would be the 4090, 4080/super and 7900XTX and be a performance upgrade worthy of your time over a 6800XT.

On a sidenote: Dragons dogma 2 has performance issues related to CPU(statement from the dev) so don't fall in the trap of upgrading because you most likely would be disappointed by the result.

Interesting about the CPU issue with Dragons Dogma, maybe I'll be better off with a CPU upgrade, I still have a 12400f, then upgrade the GPU in the next generation.

Nah, RDNA3 is nothing but a tweaked version of what you already have. Wait for proper next gen jump imo.

This does seem to be the best plan for me in this instance. Shame this gen isnt a big enough bump in performance to make it worthwhile.
