Seems like the cheapest it's been. Previous lowest I could find was $1124.80

Here is a comparison with a 7800xt
Couldn't find a good review for this particular card.. maybe someone can share..

I'm on the fence, personally looking for a 7800xt but this is very tempting.

    At this price wouldn't it be better to get the 7800 XT? Newer architecture, longer support, similar performance, lower power consumption.

      6900 XT is ahead by a small margin in the majority of games and power draw seems to be similar. The 7800 XT is in fact only very slightly faster than the 6800 XT. But they're close - and given you can get the 7800 XT for $829 from Scorptec at the moment, the 7800 XT definitely does look like the better option.

      (From memory the 7xxx series has improved ray tracing over 6xxx series, even though it still lags Nvidia, so the 7800 XT is likely to serve you better there too.)

      Overall I'd agree - doesn't seem like good value for a last-gen part.

      • congo on 27/11/2023 - 13:23

        I wouldn't say "small" margin. It is better.
        But I would get the 7800 XT as it has better ports and better longevity.

        • tophorus on 27/11/2023 - 21:23

          Probably depends on what reviews you look at, I guess. TechPowerUp puts the difference at about 3% in favour of the 6900XT for rasterisation and about 2-3% in favour of the 7800XT for ray tracing. Doesn't seem enough of a margin to justify an older part at a higher price.

      AMD are quicker to release features like fluid motion frames etc. quicker for 7000 series cards too. Also I'm guessing the power draw in this is more optimized then the 6900xt. Was disappointed to find out the 7800xt is only marginally better then the 6800xt though, you can get a used 6800xt for $619 - $60 with a eBay code right now and I has 1 year warranty. The seller is also negotiable I've negotiated for cheaper in the past. Could maybe get it used for closer to $500 which would probably be the best option if you were on a budget.

        They are all trying to trick us with their new naming conventions. 7800XT is a fake name.

      Not sure about PowerColor, but this is cheaper - https://www.amazon.com.au/PowerColor-Fighter-Radeon-GDDR6-Gr…

    Could this be an XTXH version?

    would be a great buy if it wasn't ~30x slower than 3080/4070 with SD/LLMs

    • congo on 27/11/2023 - 18:22

      What LLM?

      • xrailgun on 27/11/2023 - 18:28

        like chatgpt, but you run open source versions locally.

        also, not directed to you, just wondering why was I downvoted so much for objective facts?

        • tof on 27/11/2023 - 18:54

          I didn't downvote you, however I'm assuming some people are not happy that people like you with AI applications are increasing demand for GPUs which then keeps the prices high. This makes it difficult for gamers to afford GPUs when gaming is the primary purpose of the product.

            @tof: I see… I guess it's a bit different from crypto where people can hoard it endlessly. SD/LLM users only need 1 (unless you're a wizard who can figure out multi GPUs). Also not like we're making any money off it. It's just a hobby as much as gaming is. If we were making money off it we wouldn't be scrooging around ozbargain for $100 off.

            The guys hoarding 4090s by the thousands are certainly not on ozbargain either lol.

        • congo on 27/11/2023 - 19:46

          Why not use chatGPT? What are the pro and con of having the open src version installed locally?
          I pay $30 per month on the chatGPT memebership, was hoping to stop paying them if the local version can be just as good.
          The only open the API for Chat gpt 3 and not 4?
          What card do you recommend for LLM? Don't you need a lot of VRAM?
          I give you a positive vote.
          Thanks

            @congo: 2 main practical reasons:
            1. privacy - for sensitive info/code etc you don't want anyone finding out about (openai or msft can have data leaks even if they promise not to use it for their own training).
            2. censorship - you will never get stuff like "as an ai chatbot i cannot help you with so-and-so", even the false alarms.

            BTW, you're probably much better off using the API and one of the free GUIs - will end up costing most users well under $5/m. CGPT 4 has recently been opened for API access, a bit more expensive than 3.5 but still reasonable.

            Gaming aside, at the "low end" an intel 1770 16 GB or 3060 12 GB are good. At the high end you'd want 24GB, so 3090/4090. Sadly there's no worthwhile middle ground.

              @xrailgun: Thank you.
              Did you mean the Intel Arc A770 16GB?
              I recently got one of them, the RTX 3090/4090 are too expensive.

              I will have a go at the CGPT 4 API access.
              Thank you!

                  @xrailgun: Why can the 3060 be used for AI, but not the middle ground (4060, 4070)?

                    @congo: they totally can, and are better/faster. I just meant value-wise, they tend to be not a great step up vs the additional cost if you are focusing entirely on SD/LLM and not gaming performance.

                      @xrailgun: Do you know if laptops running mobile GPU RTX 2060 can run SD/LLMs?

                        @congo: They can, you'd need to use quite a few memory optimization options and smaller resolutions/model sizes.
