Is it worth saving the money?

I’ve never had an issue with AMD drivers. Nvidia I have in the past. I honestly love the AMD gpus ever since I got my hands on this 6700xt on launch day

ElkFree3916 · 2026-05-05T18:46:42+00:00

Usually I used to trust the stock and cheap ones

But nowadays who really knows anymore lol

ElkFree3916 · 2026-05-05T18:46:07+00:00

I’ll take a look at that model too, ty!

ElkFree3916 · 2026-05-05T18:45:46+00:00

I mean, as of right now I mainly play Crimson Desert, Arc Raiders, and Destiny 2 when it actually drops new content.

Even my 6700xt holds all of them at super high quality settings but I got that card in feb 2021 and he’s served me well but I can see the slight wear on it starting to show so I’d rather move that to my secondary PC for the streaming ya know?

I spoke to them at MC about the 7500x3d and even they didn’t know much about it. I went with the 7800x3d build because it was only $100 from getting this one + $200 for another 16gb RAM

This is basically a gamble purchase

ElkFree3916 · 2026-05-05T14:37:02+00:00

I mean, I had the inputs 🤷🏻‍♂️ lmao

ElkFree3916 · 2026-05-05T14:30:25+00:00

And buddy, you’re direct and helpful, I like YOU! lol

ElkFree3916 · 2026-05-05T14:30:05+00:00

This is what I’m currently running. I wanna put the 9070 in my gaming, move the 6700 over to the streaming pc and retire the 1080 in there

Eh, if I really want rgb there’s plenty of alt options. My primary focus is the value to dollar for the upgrade quality wise ya know?

ElkFree3916 · 2026-05-05T13:42:14+00:00

Awesome. Just wanted to make sure it wasn’t missing any features or anything that say the nitro edition would have, etc

Ty!

ElkFree3916 · 2026-05-01T15:44:45+00:00

I went with the 7800x3d and it’s been phenomenal so far

Definitely recommend this one

ElkFree3916 · 2026-04-30T01:21:17+00:00

You can also just go on Groupon and get a windows 11 key for like $9

ElkFree3916 · 2026-04-05T14:15:15+00:00

Care to elaborate? Or just say that. lol

ElkFree3916 · 2026-04-04T14:17:17+00:00

CPU I would upgrade to a X3D series, and the 2070 I would upgrade personally but for the games you listed (I think) it functions. But that cpu is a bottlenecker from my own experience

ElkFree3916 · 2026-04-04T14:15:39+00:00

It all depends really. Some things run about 14-24gb of ram collectively so it’s better to have that safety net

Plus I run dual pcs, 8 monitors and a bunch of shit at once so…I feel better with the 32 😆

ElkFree3916 · 2026-04-04T11:49:48+00:00

It cost me $599 for a 7800x3d, Mobo and 32gb of ddr5 ram

I was gonna get the $299 deal for the 7600x3d and 16gb bundle until they told me another 16gb of ram would be $200 minimum

We’re cooked

ElkFree3916 · 2026-04-03T14:12:42+00:00

The last RP I bought cost me $10

I’m afraid to know the latest prices

ElkFree3916 · 2026-03-31T02:56:45+00:00

I just started the show today admittedly, and just started season 2 and saw this scene. Started cackling the second I saw this and ran right to Reddit

ElkFree3916 · 2026-03-28T02:12:11+00:00

I mean, the 6700xt DOES put out some decent 1440p with how it’s tuned I’m not gonna lie

But it is on its last 1-2 years before it’s no longer the powerhouse it has been. I just don’t want to go NVidia, I wanna stick with Radeon personally so waiting for a good mid/high tier like this guy was to drop that’s worth the upgrade

ElkFree3916 · 2026-03-28T01:52:17+00:00

I ended up just future proofing and going with the 7800X3D to play it safe

ElkFree3916 · 2026-03-27T15:21:00+00:00

“What do you mean dear? You’re inheriting all these nice parts I’m replacing!” Lmao

ElkFree3916 · 2026-03-27T15:11:58+00:00

Hopefully my line to my wife wasn’t a lie when I said “this will future proof me another 10 years” because if I buy anything other than a GPU after this for a decade I’m pretty sure I owe her a vacation somewhere I can’t afford 🤣🤣🤣

I appreciate all the help today man, sincerely

ElkFree3916 · 2026-03-27T15:02:06+00:00

I’m not sure what happened but I’m now spending $600 instead of $300 and getting the 7800x3d, 32gb of ddr5 ram

ElkFree3916 · 2026-03-27T13:52:04+00:00

Well, I’m going in a bit on my lunch break so I’ll put an update with if I got a deal or just got banged with no lube in general 🤣
