    Damn. GPUs still costing what a whole gaming PC cost before the shortage.

      I'd rather get the faster and cheaper RTX 3070.

        3070 is neither faster or cheaper? Maybe better at raytracing and DLSS which is a plus if you're interested in those things.

        • 7orque on 21/12/2021 - 12:48

          3070 is certainly faster than a 6800…. as for price, not so sure

          • pepidav on 21/12/2021 - 13:17

            @7orque: What are you basing that on?

              @Unsafe: I'm fairly sure there is none. All of the benchmarks, resources, reviews and gameplay comparisons I have come across show the 6800 edging out on top over the 3070 in the majority of tested games. Even mining is faster on a 6800.

              The only resource I can find that shows the 3070 on top is the GPU UserBenchmark website which is not a very reliable or reputable site for hardware comparisons.

    Let me remind everyone this has a RRP of $799AU and is now on sale for $1499.

    • Dienk on 21/12/2021 - 00:19

      Be ready to be negged

    • [Deactivated] on 21/12/2021 - 00:26

      Let me remind the RRP parrots that this card never retailed for $799 in Australia. The clowns that google MSRP for founders edition cards and then regurgitate their nonsense on here are tiresome in the extreme.

      I believe the launch pricing for this particular model was $1049 for a brief period before the price hikes kicked in.

      Still overpriced imo but then again so is every other gpu in the market and this is considerably better value than some of the 3070s that I see knocking about for the same price.

      Edit: RRP for the 6800 is $949 btw, not $799, but dont let that stop you from HODL-ing until you get your magical below RRP $799 6800.

    • divvydan on 21/12/2021 - 01:15

      This never had an RRP of $799. At launch the reference model was $949 and the non-reference models were $1050+

    This or a 6800 xt for a 34" ultrawide (3440x1440)?

    • yoba on 21/12/2021 - 07:04

      depends on frame rate you are looking to get. But I'm also interested.

    • [Deactivated] on 21/12/2021 - 13:28

      Totally depends on what games you play and how long you plan to keep the card. If you plan on playing mostly AAA games at decent FPS (RDR2, MS Flight Sim, Latest Dying light etc) for next 3 years, then the xt is worth it for that res.

  • alz on 21/12/2021 - 07:54

    Would it be worth selling my Rx 6600 xt and buying the 6800?
    How much would I be able to sell the 6600 xt for? Cost me $829 few months back.

    • badonde on 21/12/2021 - 08:18
      +3

      Do you need to? 6600xt you might sell for 800 used (see ebay) so this will cost about double when you factor in fees.

    • Lonestar80 on 21/12/2021 - 08:37

      The 6600xt is the low end model and probably not much worth in 1-2 years. If you need/want more headroom for gaming then the 6800xt would be a big jump. If this is worth another around $800 after selling your existing card nobody can say.

      I was luck enough to get a 6700xt in August for $950. I should have gotten the 6800xt in the first place… I am not a gamer but need the power for image processing.

      • iseeyou1312 on 21/12/2021 - 13:49

        No cards from this generation will be worth much in 1 year. RDNA 3 & Lovelace are doubling performance for the same price. You should only be buying the performance you currently need, there's no such thing as a future proof GPU right now.
        Nvidia and AMD are competing with each other now, and it's also in there best interest this generation of cards mostly bought by miners is antiquated ASAP, so second-hand sales don't hurt sales figures like Pascal did to Turing.

  • newonelei on 21/12/2021 - 09:00

  • Louie83 on 21/12/2021 - 09:50

    Would it be worth selling my RX 5700 XT OC Evoke and getting this instead?

    • Jessie Ryder on 21/12/2021 - 10:22

      Depends on what you get for it, Evokes run really hot.

    Be aware that this is not the XT version

    • iseeyou1312 on 21/12/2021 - 13:51
      +2

      Has virtually the same hash rate as the XT version though, so should be a popular deal for miners. Not great for gaming though.

        6800 non xt is a poor value.
        It's a sub 1k card.

        • iseeyou1312 on 22/12/2021 - 23:57

          Doesn't matter what the MSRP is, the value is derived by it's ETH hash rate. In that regard, this card punches way above its weight, and is more comparable to a 6900 XT or just shy of a 3080 LHR.

            @iseeyou1312: I don't care about you economic pragmatist view on crypto, it's a sub 1k card.
            6900xt is full GPU dye card. 6800s are binned lower for a reason (slight dye defects)

              @Forth: It's not about my view, it's about what crypto miners are willing to pay for GPUs. In this market, card prices are determined by crypto hash rate, not gaming performance.
              Notice how this card went out of stock in hours? Yet the 6900XT deals stay in stock for months. There's a reason for this.

                Who cares your logic is faulty, blaming the miners.

    This is a really good deal for the hashrate you can get. Isn't nerfed like the Nvidia cards.
