To use a boxing analogy what would you say is the the best pound for pound card. I am thinking the RX 6700 XT.

If you’re not familiar with pound for pound analogy try bang for buck instead.

Yeah, ARC 750 or RX 6600 are the best value 1080p cards at those prices (except arc is not always a good choice for upgraders), but for 1440p, 6700 XT would win.

I agree for 1080 Arc 750 or 6600, but for 1440 6700xt. I'm going to be building my son a PC later on in the year and was planning on using a 6700xt or whatever replaces it. As he will be gaming at 1440.

The 6700XT is IMHO the best balance between price, performance and potential longevity you can buy today.
Waiting for the RDNA3 equivalent to see if it will be dethroned but somehow doubt it...

Agreed, the 6600 XT is great value but the 700 has that little extra oomph that will let it last that much longer.
 
My son got a 6750xt when I did his upgrade last year, 1440p twin monitors powers them luverly.

That's interesting, but no point in having a low £ to FPS ratio if you're getting low FPS. I suppose the cheapest at 60FPS is probably the one to go for.

True, just for the OP to select your gaming resolution and decide from there. Agree 60fps should be the minimum, things like DLSS & FSR muddy the water these days though.
 
I was looking at similar but also to use with home cinema /MadVR and probably decided to go for 3050 over 6600xt - 3050 slightly cheaper. If was purely for gaming I might have been tempted with a 6600

For gaming only, 6600 XT is hugely faster than the 3050, it isn't even in the same tier of performance. Roughly, 6600 XT competitor is the 3060 12GB, 6600 is 3060 8GB.
 
P4P is a weird descriptor for a graphics card. I assume it means financially? Going by MSRP, I'd say the 3060ti, 3080, 6800xt, and 6600xt are the best cards of the last few generations.

Although one more positive Intel driver patch, and they might have historically good budget cards on their hands there. I don't think people realize how impressive what they are doing is. Remember how everyone was impressed a chinese tech company managed to make a GPU last year that performed like a 660ti or some **** like that? Intel strolled into this and immediately has hardware that's competitive with the best in the world.
