I'm struggling with this question myself, I'd love something a bit faster (than my 3060ti) and have money put aside that I'd be happy to spend on an upgrade, but it's a hard choice...
- 4070 is overpriced and I can't spend that much on something with only 12GB/192bit, at £450-500 I might bite, or 16GB/256 at £550
- 6950 seems the best value, but last gen tech and a bit weak on RT and encoding (I make videos sometimes, but happy to CPU encode for the most part, at least on the 5950X!)
£580 for the ASrock is a great price, but it's a bit of an uggo adding £50 for the Devil shifts the value proposition a bit (although admittedly either that or the nitro/toxic are the best in class)
- 7900XT also seems ok, would be great at under £700....the only thing stopping me really is the multi monitor/video power usage, as I spend 10-50x more time watching videos on my TV via PC as I do gaming....and using an extra 75-90w (on top of <20w with my current card) is too much for me to bare!
If they solved the multi-mon/video power usage I'd pretty much buy one now, ideally I was hoping for the 7800xt to come in as the people's champion (at around £500-550, 70CU and 16GB/256), but it seems now that is either a long way away or they just won't bother....
