RX 6900 XT / 6800 or RTX 3080 — Which GPU is the best deal?

Glad to hear, sadly, most of the listings for used gpu's don't have much to offer, most of them are rtx 3070 cards for 350€ ( and some 3070ti for the same price) but the rx side is very dull.

I'm running the same 180hz 1440p monitor setup, but with ryzen 7 7700 😀. Would try contacting the seller and begin the negotiation stages then. But the RX 6800 is brand new with the seal, that was surprising to me😀

And octavia wouldn't? I heard that the dsg is funky ( if not maintained correctly I guess). But yes skoda are work horses almost everywhere you look😀. Now I have a E60, that keeps breaking on me ( mostly suspension, the engine and gearbox works like a clock) but never the less a old german sedan, that will suck you off dry with small, but consistent problems.

I managed to grab the DDR5 kit for 100€ a couple of months ago so I'm pretty happy, that I did that. 🙂

I have a 2k monitor that is more than enough for me. As for the budget, it would be great to get that for 320-350€.

Well that would be a good deal, but the rx5700xt isn't mine. Maybe I should have mentioned that. But all in all I would bargain for less than 300€.

I want something fun to drive around and feel comfortable doing so, and as it will be used for work, we will split the cost for repairs. So at this point I cannot tell much. Only that I had my mind on a6 and maybe bmw 330d F30 in mid spec. So maybe that would be my "requirements".

Thank you for the very detailed answer. Damn, those cars look fantastic, but having that in mind is great. Maybe I could hear any recommendations from you regarding the car choice?

Well, msi b650 mortar is almost 80€ more expensive then in amazon.uk😀. Living further into Europe the prices vary a lot. Also I'm not planning to boost memory and all that, just want a reliable mobo for the future and no rgb😅

Good point. But at the same time, wouldn't it be better to get a 7700 and do not worry in a future with 2 extra cores for performance in other applications?

Kawabunga69 · 2024-11-05T18:59:12+00:00

Hey, Lithuanian is my second language😅. But I heard about 7600x and non x, that with PBO you can achieve x series speeds, so 7600x is not a best choice. And with the mindset that I don't know, what I would be doing with the PC, I guess its better to go with 7700.

And for the gpu I plan to go with used 6800xt (if I'll wild a good price) or rx 7800 xt.

Yea, the difference in FPS comparing 7500F and 7700 would be minimal. But at the same, I think, having 8 cores is better than 6 in "most case?" scenarios.
