@@dricebaker6594 AMD actually dropped below MSRP with most of their cards in the last few month and offer quite decent value for the price. You can get a 6600 for ~250€, a 6700xt for ~400€ and a top of the line 6950xt for ~850€ (which is faster than a 3090 that starts at 1250€). I was waiting for 3060ti/3070 prices to ever drop - still well above the MSRP (which was increased from 400/500 to 430/550), so I went with a Asus RX6700xt instead for 420 and it performs great.

AMD has really closed the gap with Greedvidia and in many cases beats their cards. Since AMD announced they are now an official partner/sponsor of OBS Studio I am guessing that AMD is going to start working hard on closing the encode/decoding/production gap as well. This is all good for the market place and consumers.

[@hamoudy98productions]

Their encoders are already close to Nvidia's after the last updates too. The only thing that is remaining is the productivity side and then there would be absolutely no reason to buy Nvidia

[@HastyRhombus760]

@@hamoudy98productions Unfortunately the AMD encoders are way behind in flexibility and the bit rate needed to have comparable picture quality. You end up with a file that is around 30% larger to have the same quality even after post processing with say DaVinci Resolve. Larger files take more resources and time to process. I currently use a Rx 6900 XT in my all AMD system but I have recently used my buddies intel/Nvidia system with a 3090 and the difference is clear. Here's to hoping the gap closes with AV1 and optimizations from OBS.

@@dudebroguymate @Rares let's do some math. For example, electricity price in Germany is around 0.45$/kWh.

Let's say we have enough free time to game 6 hours a day. Then you're spending 0.6$ a day, 18 bucks a month for the first config and 0.84$ a day, 25 bucks a month for the second one.

@@fynkozari9271 If you're talking about performance, that's not a useful way to compare resolutions.

And 4 times as many pixels as 1920x1080. If you're talking about pixel density, I would say it's also a misleading way of looking at things. 3840 is 1.5*2560. Comparing two monitors of the same size, you're getting 1.5 times as many pixels in each dimension, which can make for a significant improvement to clarity (depending on your monitor size and how far away you sit from it).

I have the 6600 XT which is serving me well. Second hand prices for these had dropped through the floor and are excellent options if you can't afford the 6700 XT. While I don't tax the card and mainly play Fallout 76 it doesn't need to spin up the fans at all and still stays below 60°C in South Africa.

[@Dave5281968]

I just purchased a Power Color RX 6700 XT from Micro Center ($345 US) about a week ago. I only ran the Unigine Superposition and Heaven 4.0 benchmarks on it, but the performance came out between an RTX 3070 Ti and an RTX 3080 in Superposition and slighly better than an RTX 3080 in Heaven 4.0. I had all settings turned up to maximum on both benchmarks and screen resolution was 1080p for both, since I still use an archaic 1080p TV for my display. (It's a living room media PC.) Overall I'm extremely satisfied with the RX 6700 XT, and as a bonus with VSynch on (ie: 60fps locked) the power consumption stays below 120Wh on Horizon Zero Dawn almost all the time and the idle power consumption hovers around 8Wh. Nice to see the comparison even though it really wasn't a fair test. I would have like to see some RT turned on results, but I know that the RT performance from the RX 6000 cards sucks compared to nVidia. (I think the AMDs are about half the RT performance of the nVidia cards, so the 3060 would have likely tied the 6700 XT.)

That Red Devil 6700xt has a really overbuilt cooler for the power draw. Max I could pull was 230w while OC'd running furmark. You can basically run the fans at the minimum in the radeon software (35%) and essentially have a silent card.

[@starmanindisguise5844]

I've got the 6800XT version of the Red Devil card and I've got to say it's a fantastic card. You can easily push it to RTX 3090 levels of performance for more than 50 less wattage and much cooler temps (far less bloat and stress on the PCie slot too, being a marginally smaller and lighter card).

The 6700XT was originally priced to compete with, and fell just a little shy of, the 3070. Just because AMD has slashed the price a year later isn't really an improvement. It's more an acknowledgement that their position in the market means they have to lower prices to move their old products, while Nvidia (unfortunately) knows their market position lets them apply an Apple-like price premium.

'Moving swiftly on from my adult feelings' - there are exercises you can do to help with that :) I haven't had an AMD card since they changed their drivers from the equivalent of an index to the entire Encyclopedia Britannica many years ago - but I think it's time I revisited that. The 6700XT performed very well at that price point and, although I might go for higher specced models, it certainly places things in perspective. Thanks for another great video!

[@gaelarriaga846]

I just think from a value perspective AMD’s RDNA 2 and upcoming RDNA 3 cards have just been so appealing cause of the price to performance that these cards bring. Even though I upgraded to a 3060ti I kinda regret upgrading back when both AMD and NVIDIA cards were so expensive given how much value I would’ve gotten had I waited ;~;

[@enricofermi3471]

RDNA2 are very appealing these days, IDK about mid-range since I don't follow that part of market, but you can get 6900 as low as in 650~750 USD range via newegg / amazon / ebay. The only downside is RT performance, but if your choice is 6800-non-XT or below performance class it doesn't matter anyway.

Did you use the Display Driver Uninstaler? You should run that when changing GPU manufacturers especially, to make sure Nvidia drivers are fully gone from windows. When I had some weird problems with my GPU using DDU and reinstaling the same driver made it work a lot better.

The only thing is that my card has 2 fans, so I needed to apply a slightly more aggressive fan curve, but it still runs pretty quietly. I'm very happy with that card, and I'm glad that I didn't pay for overpriced Nvidia (the 3060 Ti was at $400 - MSRP - at my Best Buy, but the thing is that card has 4 gigs less of VRAM, lower clock speed, and is just generally worse in most areas that aren't Nvidia exclusive things like ray tracing and such)

[@enricofermi3471]

I think the 2x8-pin might come in handy for people like me who use MorePowerTool (MPT) to raise power limits beyond anything that normal factory settings + Afterburner (AB) would allow. Say, I have my 6900XT set to use up to 350W if needed (factory default is 255W with up to +15% increase through AB resulting in maximum "normally" achievable 297W draw). I'd push for more, but I bought a reference design GPU with only 2x8-pin (they were quite cheaper at launch where I live) + the cooling is just enough for that power output (hitting 83~85°C when under fullest load for tens of minutes) and it might just hotspot throttle if I go any further + my sample has max stable clock at around 2700-2750MHz range (runs fine up to 2720, unstable when higher). With 350W power limit (MPT) and boost clocks set to up to 2660MHz (AB) it barely ever gets below 2500MHz in games (still hits that 350W ceiling sometimes, but with default maxed out PL (255+15%) it was really limited and often dropped to in between 2200~2300MHz, on very rare occasions below 2200 even). I think 6900 and 6950 can scale clocks up to around 400W power limit, maybe higher if you get a good silicon sample that is stable with higher values, so if given the chance it's best to opt for 3x8-pin configuration, at least I know I would when 7900XTXs hit the market. I'd love to see what 6700XT Red Devil can do with, say, 300 watt PL and clocks set to max stable values versus 3060 max stable overclock (I think nVidia doesn't allow user-based power limit increase beyond factory settings - at least I never heard of MPT equivalents for them when I owned Titans, 1080 and 2080Ti).
