I was looking into upgrading my GPU from a RX 6600 to a 6700 xt or a 6800 xt. I started looking at GPUs because my PC was struggling to maintain 60 fps in the new Avatar game. Now budget isn't really a problem so disregarding that (and considering some level of future-proofing) what would be a better choice? I'm using a Ryzen 5 5600x and my case is a Phanteks Eclipse G360A.

#

I should add that a 6700 xt costs around 500 dollars where I live and a 6800 xt around 700

No budget? 4090

Yeah I should've clarified that by no budget I meant that I'm not limited by a budget, if you think the 6800 xt is a better choice then I'll get that one. However if the 6700 xt makes more sense to get then I'll go for that one

# jade flower How about 7800XT

Would that be a step over the 6800 xt? I mean if it works relatively well with my cpu and fits in my case I could see myself getting one

I’m just trying to see if it’s cheaper for some reason

#

Actually

#

What country are you in

velvet fjord
#

Sweden

jade flower
#

Yeah

#

6000 series new is more expensive for some reason

velvet fjord
#

What's the difference between a Sapphire Radeon RX 7800 XT Gaming Pulse and an ASUS Radeon RX 7800 XT 16GB TUF Gaming OC? The ASUS one is almost 77 dollars more expensive but I don't see what the difference is.

#

Is it just different manufacturers?

ionic ice
#

Yep

#

Go sapphire it's not gonna make diff

velvet fjord
#

Damn

jade flower
#

It’s the second cheapest one

#

(Cheapest is sapphire pulse)

velvet fjord
#

Yeah it's a bit more aesthetically pleasing then the sapphire one so def gonna pick that one up if I go with the 7800 xt

#

And it should fit in my case just fine?

jade flower
#

idk what case u have

velvet fjord
#

Phanteks Eclipse G360A

#

pcpartpicker doesn't complain so should be fine?

jade flower
#

Yea

#

Just to be sure check how large the card it on its website and check the case max gpu length on its site

velvet fjord
#

Case can fit gpu's up to 40 cm in length and the xfx is only 32.6 so there's room to spare

#

And in the future if I decide to upgrade my cpu I could match the xfx with something like a Ryzen 7 7800X3D?

velvet fjord
#

1080

jade flower
#

Hmm

#

Perhaps

velvet fjord
#

What would be better for 1080p?

jade flower
#

I was just wondering if you could get away with a 7600 or 7500f

#

bc they’re still good cpus

velvet fjord
#

Yeah I mean I'm not playing too cpu heavy titles

jade flower
#

It’s probably better to just upgrade to a 5700X3D in the future tbh

velvet fjord
#

Alright so the xfx gpu to begin with and when I decide to get a new cpu the ryzen 7 5700x3d will be a good upgrade?

jade flower
#

Yea

#

Only get new cpu if you’re cpu bound tho ofc
