I'm looking at the prices right now, i want to make clear I'm not 100% on buying anything right now, but the opinions i get here will definitely influence that. i found a triple fan rtx 4070 (non super non ti) for $520 and a reference 6950xt for $550, i would like peoples opinions on which are better/ another good option with similar fps inbetween $500-$550ish range

4070 = 3080

6950XT = 3090

I was watching benchmarks and it was a difference l, I was leaning towards amd, but I want multiple opinions

#

And also no av1, nvenc, or dlss

#

Idrc about Ray tracing tho

I was trying to consider everything and not just pure restoration

I didn't get very far into it till I had to leave

#

Some games no the difference isn’t much but some it’s very much there

peak wind
#

Also no 12vhp connector

halcyon hare
#

Yes

#

Also the 6950XT is more badass

#

And has more VRAM

What do you use the encoder for?

peak wind
#

I know it's not as good as nvenc but like how much worse

peak wind
#

If I ever wanted too in the future

halcyon hare
#

Then get the 4070

#

I gtg for a bit

#

I’ll be back eventually

#

Also I saw a few comments about the reference version (the one I found at $550) gets REALLY hot, is that a QC problem or is that normal?

6950XT runs hot

#

7900 GRE may also be worth consideration

I’m happy with my 4070 FE, but I prefer the Nvidia software stack over AMD and will gladly sacrifice a little performance for it.

halcyon hare
#

Not that hot

#

Some ppl said in reviews on microcenter saying it got to like 110c

peak wind

#

Yes

#

6000 series yes

#

Everything Ive found so far online (which unfortunately isn't much) is just to jack up the bit rate a bit and you should be pretty good, am I wrong? (Of course it's not gonna be EXACTLY the same but at least comparable... Right?)

#

7900GRE I've heard AV1 is decent

halcyon hare
halcyon hare
#

It’s good

#

Lol it isnt

#

7900GRE is about 4070 super level

#

Its pretty much the 6950XT but lower tdp and AV1 plus newer

halcyon hare
#

Oh

peak wind
#

I found a 7900gre in microcenter for $550

#

Triple fan again

#

That's just nice to have

#

So, I'm not familiar with the gre cards (lookin at em rn online) but from my understanding, it's just like a 7800 xtx?

#

Does it have all the same features or is some of it cut down somewhere?

#

(I do like the updated and extra display port. I have no use for a USBC display out)

#

What would you say is better, 7000 series encoder? Or 3000 series nvenc?

#

(also av1 is a thing with the 7900)

#

I'ma be honest, on amd's spec sheets their almost identical

#

I'd still go for the 7900 kuz newer and better features for same price

#

GRE stands for golden rabbit edition

peak wind
#

Ik

halcyon hare
#

A little worse then the eXTreme variant

#

Better then the normal non XT

peak wind
#

But that's still around 6950xt perf right?

halcyon hare
#

Yes
