Deal was previously shared with the card at $949. Its price has since been reduced to $899 for the past couple of weeks and now Scorptec is offering an additional $50 off with the coupon code above. Not sure how this compares to the other GPU deals like the 4070 series and 7900 GRE.
agrees I do
very comparable to 7900GRE, I'd just pick the cheaper one so I'd go this.
For small form factor, the GRE uses less power so may be the better choice, otherwise I wouldn't worry.
In the long term, you'd be spending more money on the 6950XT. Takes 60W more.
I was curious so I did the maths, it's boring but if you ran it at full tilt 8 hours a day, you'd break even after 210 days, 28c a kw/h, $28 difference… Yeah it's not worth not getting the lower cost card at today's energy prices - for the same performance.
GRE uses less power, and overclocking capabilities are awesome. it's a better investment in terms of resale value, too
I like XFX, they're well put together
They're kinda sleek, honestly. On the big side, but that's just more cooling!
For the price, and even cheaper by a bit, I personally think one would be better off with the 7900 GRE and it's overclocking capabilities.
basically a 4070/3090 without proper raytracing and dlss, great for open source linux drivers though
I could never afford a Merc
Who you trying to get killed
Gigabyte 4070super for $880 @ebay plus member, maybe a better choice
My 6800xt red devil is still going strong. Plays everything 4k just fine. Probably upgrade late this year.
Same with my Saphire.. Probably can even skip this next gen and be ok another year or 2.
I was thinking about that too, waiting a year or 2 but now (profanity) it. Might as well sell it while it's still worth something and upgrade.
Yeh fair enough 🙂
yeah good idea probably, especially considering 2yrs ago I had to pay $1100 for a 6700xt merc and theyre like $300 now
Based on a quick google it looks like this is slightly slower than the 7900GRE or 4070Ti. And slightly faster than a 4070 Super. Overall I would think the 7900 GRE at $888 would be a better buy for an AMD GPU at the moment
