Every GPU review for the past year has really made it clear that anyone who bought a 1080ti at launch unknowingly scored the deal of the decade.

[@zodwraith5745]

I hesitated 10 times before buying my 1080ti. $700 was just way too much but I wanted that performance. Buyer's remorse disappeared real fast with 20 series launch and has simply sweetened since. Too bad Nvidia does dick for optimizing for it anymore.

I got lucky for a long time, bought an R9 390 that I had for 3 years then sold for quite a bit more than MSRP during one mining craze, then bought a 1070 with the money from that after the mining craze died, now its worth pretty much what I paid for it still after a couple of years

Comparing the price/performance to 2019 levels makes it look pretty poor, once you factor that the majority of the world hasn't been able to buy a 3060 or 60ti for anywhere near MSRP(Or at all) for 9 months, that it's available and offers good performance at it's power envelope it seems like a pretty legit buy.

3060s are going for like $1,000 where I am right now and 3070s like 1299-1500 Because you have no choice but to buy it from scalpers. If you try and ask a store when they are getting any they will simply tell you they aren't. Or that they don't know.

Now that the shortage has sort of ended, this specific card (the red devil) has became a really good value buy.

Even after taxes (which are massive in my country) it is less than msrp and we are talking about the second best card from the 6600XT cards. Absolutely good value for a brand new card.

Obviously AMD are going to cash in on this crazy demand they are profit driven company that answer to shareholders.

But it's not amd who is providing these GPUs *Facepalm* The board partners of amd are feeling the brunt of silicon shortage. The ones who make the GPUs. The price of almost every component has increased there. Especially silicon. If they want to pay their workers and not turn in a loss during a time like this then they have to increase the price. Simple supply and demand. Please stop saying it's AMD that's being greedy and look at the actual prblem of why it's priced high. It's not scalpers, rather it's silicon shortage. If you didn't know, amd doesn't build majority of its GPUs in house. It's the board partners like evga, msi, sapphire who need the silicon to make GPUs. Amd don't really make them.

[@dco1019]

yeah it is confusing..

On average its not even close. and sometimes 30, 40 fps more. So im not quite sure what all this means except that it means that I dont know much about the subject...maybe its skewed by testing criteria. Like I heard jay say he put everything on the highest settings. Which I think doesnt make sense for actual real use cases of gpu's in this segment.

[@dco1019]

for my own understanding I just checked AG conclusion a bit more instead of skipping through everything :-) and he says the caveat are games where you need more vram or if you want raytracing.. if you need that the 3060 is A LOT better, like miles better than a 6600xt..it turns the entire thing around. But still for me a rx 6600 seems a much better choice then cause im on 1080p monitor and I sacrifice eye candy for more fps and playability. I dont care about ray tracing if I lose massive amount of frames because of it... on my graphic settings in warzone Im way below the 8gb of my rx570.. pretty much dont care about particles, lights, texture. just want a gpu that pushes as much frames as possible at 1080p

@@abcplay57 Depends on what broke. For me it has always been the soldering between the GPU and the PCB that cracked from all the heating and cooling circles. Heating it up enough so that the soldering becomes liquid and letting it cool down again fixes that issue for a while. If you have defect memory or a mosfet, you not only need spare parts but also know what you are doing. In the case of a 780 you don't really have a lot to loose so give it a try. Look up videos on how disassemble that card and how to resolder processors. Shield the components around the processor with aluminum foil, as you don't want to heat components that don't need to be heated. Make sure you have something to clean the processor with and thermal paste for reassembling the card.

[@DespiseGaming]

@@glamdring0007 FSR2 is so far behind DLSS in actual quality it's not even worth comparing the two in terms of quality to performance. As someone who has used both forms of upscaling extensively I can say FSR2 even with the Quality preset in its current form introduces a ton of artifacts in high motion scenes, bad ghosting, poor original texture retention, and an all around grainy look. These are all things that DLSS2 also running on the Quality preset do not suffer from, visually no matter if they're high motion scenes or stagnated ones you'll be hard pressed to find any noticeable differences between running natively or using DLSS2 Quality outside of the significant boost in frame rate. This is the power of AI upscaling and it's the same reason AMD needs to announce AI powered FSR3 during the announcement today on 7000 series Radeon cards. If they still haven't implemented machine learning on RDNA3 they're going to be significantly behind the curve as the industry is slowly moving away from the importance of pure rasterization performance. Even the Arc A770 at $349 has machine learning technology on it that is quite frankly very good for a 1st generation card. I'd love to move over to Radeon GPUs, but in their current state they're lacking an obscene amount of QoL features and support for workloads outside of gaming that simply makes them less desirable. These are the same reasons hardware surveys show that in the professional workspace Radeon is virtually non-existent, and in the PC gaming space a lowly 17% of PC owners are running Radeon GPUs with Nvidia holding all of that other market share between the two sectors.

No alternative - I've got a playstation and have a PC. I sold the playstation because it is more expensive and not as flexible than a PC. Flexibility not in the way of using a wordprocessor etc. I mean flexibility in playing old games. I couldn't play old playstation games I paid money for on a new playstation and even if there was an option sometimes you had to pay for it to get it for the new system. And second more expensive. Many games I played you are able to play with all functions on a PC for the price it is sold for and you can install any mods you want. On a playstation you have to be a playstation plus member to use functions like network abilities that are free with the PC version that cost the same. The price for a plus membership is equal to the price for a AAA game. And mods - for example Skyrim - it was shitty on the playstation (crashes etc) lower quality and many popular mods were not available on a playstation. And then Cyberpunk 2077 - on the playstation of a friend it was a desaster and on my PC it worked wonderful and my PC even doesn't met the minimum requirements..... . And PS and upgradeability are not really a thing. I don't see the option to change more than the storage, no RAM-, GPU- or CPU-update with a console.

Thanks for your review. Heads up! Just got a Sapphire RX 6600XT, and it does a great job, but the latest drivers from AMD Adrenalin 23.4.1 caused my windows 10 system to be un-bootable. Tried everything to recover, and finally was able to recover the system using DDU, Display Driver Uninstaller. Just thought I'd let people know this just in case the same thing happens to them. If I knew I'd have so much trouble with Radeon drivers I would have stuck with Nvidia and got a 3060ti. I had to put my old Nvidia 1660 super back in the computer, then it booted, then I used DDU to uninstall the AMD graphics drivers, and then I was able to reinstall the 6600 xt card and boot windows 10.

Looking at this in 2022, as someone upgrading from a 1660-S with only about a $500 budget, I think the 6600XT is the most affordable compared to a 3060Ti. I was able to find a 6600XT for $299.95 on Amazon, but the cheapest 3060Ti that I found was just shy of $530. I need to change my case for my GPU because it's too small and has a built-in PSU while I have a 600 watt PSU just sitting around and not being used, so my choice right now for anyone trying to get into PC gaming on a budget, go for the 6600XT, and if you really want to save money, go with the 6500XT, I saw one on Amazon for just shy of $200; if you want the links, just let me know.

Sorry for putting down your optimism, but good luck paying new gen prices on a "slightly used" 4 year old gpu, that you need to hope it was "slightly used" for gaming and not for mining, and again, for 4 years.

Only issue with the video is saying this replaces the 5700 XT. You can't look at pricing to determine what replaces what because WAY different time. It replaces the 5600 XT, and it should have been tested against the 5600 XT. This is a good half year past this video, but what I'm ore excited to see is that prices are slowly coming down and I FINALLY see a high quality 6800 XT for around $1200 USD. Consdiering they've been up at $1600 USD this is a good thing. Not great, but a good thing. I don't think they can come down much below $1000 - $1100 due to global inflation, not scalping which is raising the cost of manufacturing a GPU about 20% more expensive than 1.5 years ago, along with the 25% tariff on GPUs coming into the US. That inflation is probably never going away because a lot of it is dealing with higher wages being paid out, and driving wages down is really hard, and it is too painful for people who make those wages because the economy adjusts to those higher wages, and other costs go up to take away those higher wages, such as housing costs, rent, etc... So, if you see the 6800 XT near $1000 USD that's probably the best it's ever going to get. If you want one, buy it then. But if it's a higher quality product, don't expect it to drop under $1200, ever, such as a PowerColor Red Devil.
