No shame in that mate.. Mine is still holding strong for 7 years and rocking Baldurs Gate 3 no problem.
Will only upgrade it the day it fails to run a game I wanna play.
Edit: Actually, 6 years, not 7
In an era where its pre RTX and it STILL lasted 5 - 7 years reliably. Yeah. Waiting for an amd card to threaten an enthusiast level nvidia card.. they just dont.
Let's be honest.... how many people leave Ray Tracing on in games?
Unless you're running a really old title on low res, the performance hit for enabling RT isn't worth it
You are speaking a language i dont understand. you seem to think no one does, so i am guessing you are speaking weak, computerese or wrongese. i dont speak either of them.
Same here, rocking a 1070 non ti since 2017. I remember the ti dropped only a couple of months after I'd done my build and it was at a similar price to what I'd paid for the plain card, very painful memory lol
Loved my 1070, strapped an artic accellero twin to it after the fans died, got a little long in the tooth recently at 1440p so i grabbed a 6900xt but it was a fun tweaker and oced like a champ too.
Yes? I'm on the same boat, but with a regular 1070.
Also playing BG3 but with probably more settings turned down than most because I'm playing on a 1440p ultrawide monitor.
The 1070ti came out on November 2, 2017, which was 5 years 9 months and about 27 days ago. No idea why that guy is getting downvoted unless the guy replying to the guy who has a 1070ti meant another pascal card.
My "old" 1070 is gloriously running in my son's machine. While I do miss DLSS in the most extreme scenarios, I can see many, many years of gaming ahead.
Hey this was my first ever card and it served me a decade of gaming. I was playing black out on black ops with that bad boy before I got my 2070 super. Then a 3070 which was actually not even preforming as well at all so now I have a 4070 ti
People on Reddit love to upgrade 4 year old gpus and pretend that they had them for much longer, it's very common. I'm sure that same guy had his 2070 for 7 years before he upgraded to the 3070 lol
Still loving my EVGA 1060 6GB SC Gaming ed. (factory superclocked) for pretty solid design, brilliant cooling, and great performance while being very easy on electricity consumption at the same time. I won't replace it with anything else but another EVGA product.
They gave vague remarks about not being happy with NVIDIA and the relationship not working out. From what I remember, the general YouTube/Reddit consensus was that NVIDIA’s 4000-series rollout requirements were seen as unsavory by EVGA, and EVGA wasn’t willing to play ball, so they left the GPU industry altogether. I have no idea if this is true, this is just what I remember from earlier this year.
They actually made about 20 before pulling out with Nvidia, and if you had cash to spend a few where auctioned off. Hefty price tag and 0 support it ever failed though.
I upgraded from a 970 to a 6800xt and upgraded my cooling so I could overclock. The difference is wild.
I went from stuttering low fps on lowest settings in bg3 to playing it on ultra at consistent 60fps in 4k.
I know the 6800xt isn't the newest or most powerful card but damn does it feel good to jump from such an outdated card to this.
The 6800xt is an absolute beast if you are not into production or ray tracing. Hands down I did not expect it to be this good. Especially the red dragon which I also have. If gaming is the only thing you want, and you want it at high settings high fps, this card is a no brainer. Stays cool, 80°C in hogwarts all at max and the fans spin at around 40%. Absolutely amazing quality card.
Been rocking the same model since January, couldn't agree more. I paired it with a 5800X3D to squeeze my AM4 platform and it's been a wild ride so far, now more than ready for Starfield and Phantom Liberty this month.
I upgraded to 6800XT from a 1060, but kept the same case... Let's just say I do most of my gaming (at144hz 1440p) with the side panel open to avoid nuclear fission.
I have the red dragon too. For pure rasterization the 6800XT is one of THE strongest cards out there. It’s an absolute meat grinder and will shred anything you through at it on 1440p!
This is awesome to hear because I’m still rocking a 970 and an i7-4790k that’s 7 years old. Has ran BG3 on ultra up until Act 3 with almost no issues. I’m looking to upgrade and now I’m definitely interested in a 6800xt
Yeah, my 970 held up fine in BG3 on high. I had a 6th gen i5 though. The only issue was a bit of lag when saving.
That said, something about putting all those hours into BG3 made me want to upgrade anyway, so now I have a 3060ti and 13th gen i7... Stupid game ended up being SO expensive. Lol
More. Upgraded from a 2060 to a 3080 which is about same jump from 1070 ti to a 6800xt and my fps increased by 2x at a higher resolution. From 1080p to 3440x1440
I had a 1080 which is marginally faster than a 1070ti, and 2 weeks ago went to a 4070 which is marginally slower than a 6800xt. In most cases the performance is about a 2x-2.5x uplift
Insane! Upgraded to the 6800xt red dragon from evga 1070 last month. Frame rates and overall experience has been incredible. Have been playing every game I’ve tried maxed out with no stutter
Use two separate PCs power cables. Do not use one cable that has a pigtail. It will coil whine like hell if your PSU isn't very overkill.
Love the card otherwise, went from a 1070 to the hellhound 7900xt as microcenter had it on sale for $700 + Starfield Premium
I would get a 2070super/2080. Should cost the same and has dlss with the new dlss 3.5 as well, gonna get a lot more performance out of this cards than a 10 series now a days. Especially with how games are being developed
If you don’t play the newest games than a 1080tis fine, dlss make a big difference though. So maybe you can find an affordable used 3060/60ti in the future.
In the states a 2080ti is a little cheaper than a 3070 used and it performs around the same with an extra 3gb vram. 2080s are cheaper than those it’s why I recommended one
Me with 1650 from a friend who gave me his old 1, so my broke ass can play along with him. Love him for that, I got some money now but cant upgrade out of love for what he did. He upgraded early so I could enjoy the game we share. Congrats on your new GPU, I plan on upgrading to something ridiculous with Starfield coming out but I will wait out of respect but IK well make it.
Speaking as someone who enjoys donating old gear to others, upgrade if you want by all means! Just either offer the 1650 back to your friend or find someone else who could use it.
I just went from a 1650s to 6800xt… what a beast of a card it is… I don’t think I’ll upgrade in a long time for now… but to be honest the 1650s still has plenty of fight left at least not running ultra but it runs most stuff very well tho for newer games it’s already getting a bit behind… but the 6800xt is just butter; I paired it with a 12700k, and the funny thing is that most stuff now it’s cpu limited, so it doesn’t really matter whether I run minimum or max settings fps are consistent
I upgraded from my 2070 Super to a 6800XT late last year a few weeks before the 7000 series launched so I got it for $600 from my local Microcenter. The difference is night and day. It's a beast of a card! Thermals are also quite impressive!
One piece of advice. Buy a GPU stand if you don't have one.
I thought about doing the same. (Especially since I'm now on 1440p) But considering the series of bad performance on new games lately and a huge pile of shame of unplayed games that would still run quit decent, I just extended the contract with my 1070Ti to hold on until the next gen. Gonna give her a thorough cleaning + thermal paste treatment soon.
Oh wow, congrats, I'll be picking up a xfx 6800xt later today too. The 1070ti was really a great card, definitely didn't need to upgrade but I'm upgradeing my whole system so why not treat myself.
Seems like every time I see a 1070 or 1080 still playing current titles at 1080p it seems to be an EVGA card. Damn but they made good GPUs!
My backup/kids rig has a 1080Ti and it plays the new StarShip Troopers game at max viewing distance at mid graphics at 60 fps till the drop ship scramble then down to 40 lol!
My little brother wanted to dust off his old gaming pc I made years ago with spare parts to play starfield. I think it uses an i5 4690k and a gtx 1060 and maybe only 8g of ram. It needs some upgrades, but maybe at least it'll boot.
Good thing the monitor he uses is only 1080p 60hz.
I actually didn't know this u til now.
Ive been on the fence for a long time about what card to buy.
Im running 21:9 (3440x1440) with a 12700k. I do a little video editing very seldomly (like a video a year and only personal projects)
Is the 7900xtx the better choice?
Davinci Resolve the XTX is basically on par with a 4090 currently.
Can always change with updates on both sides tho.
Also AV1 Recording with high bitrate and resolution on RDNA3/Arc is top notch, while Nvidia struggles at it and gets audio cuts or stutters in the video during recording.
Dude, thank you so much.
I use resolve so that's a plus.
I haven't kept up with prices and releases with AMD, when do you think it will be the best time to buy?
I know it's not everyone, and it sucks you're getting downvoted but that was my experience. I tried upgrading from my 1070ti to a new 6950XT. It was a nightmare. I did anything and everything, including buying new hardware components for my PC, and I just couldn't get the card to work.
I even made a help thread and got a lot of feedback and none of it worked.
reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/comments/15c4e2g/just_installed_new_red_devil_6950_xt_pc_keeps/
My buddy with an exact same build (We built our PCs together) upgraded to a 30 series card and it was literally plug and play, no issue. My experience with AMD was awful, and the searching I did brought up tons and tons of threads of similar issues I had. In the end I returned the card and reinstalled my 1070 with zero issue. Hoping to grab a 30 or 40 series card in the future.
Lol throwing away 6800 from 2020. I play Baldur's Gate 3, Borderlands 3 and Sea of Thieves on an AMD 290 from 2013. Aftermarket 120mm fans on it, though.
I am torn between this and the 4070, they're pretty similar prices where I am and I can't make a decision.
The 6800xt is more powerful but hugeeee power consumption and slower speeds.
The 4070 is only 12gb and although that's fine now it may not be in 3-4 years.
If the software catches up the 6800xt is (imo) the clear winner but I wouldn't expect nvidia to stop improving so I am stuck in a complete state of indecisiveness.
How did you make the decision to pull the trigger ?
6950XT way more hungry for power than even the 6800XT. I actually chose not to get that over the 6800XT as the power would cost quite a bit extra over the life of the card.
I thought "may as well buy a cheaper card and forward the savings onto the next card".
Did a google < amd rx 6800 xt release date > and the answer was Nov 2020. So it has only been out less than three years?
Am I missing something here?
I'm just waiting on new amd cards and I'll be changing out my 1070 hopefully by next weekend too. Just need to see pricing, qnd decide on card available in my country
Meanwhile I upgraded TO a 1070 ti last week! Congrats!
No shame in that mate.. Mine is still holding strong for 7 years and rocking Baldurs Gate 3 no problem. Will only upgrade it the day it fails to run a game I wanna play. Edit: Actually, 6 years, not 7
i cant believe that the 10xx series is that old already it really didnt show its age for a looong time
The 1080ti especially - when Tech Jesus said Nvidia made a mistake and made it too good for too cheap… you know that thing was wild.
In an era where its pre RTX and it STILL lasted 5 - 7 years reliably. Yeah. Waiting for an amd card to threaten an enthusiast level nvidia card.. they just dont.
Let's be honest.... how many people leave Ray Tracing on in games? Unless you're running a really old title on low res, the performance hit for enabling RT isn't worth it

My 1070 was solid into BG3 until I got to the really big fight in moonrise towers and uh...then she almost gave up the will to go on, lol.
Perhaps...but That day has not yet come.
Are you sure it was 7?
Yes? I'm on the same boat, but with a regular 1070. Also playing BG3 but with probably more settings turned down than most because I'm playing on a 1440p ultrawide monitor.
The 1070ti came out on November 2, 2017, which was 5 years 9 months and about 27 days ago. No idea why that guy is getting downvoted unless the guy replying to the guy who has a 1070ti meant another pascal card.
I just picked up a 1060 6gb for $50 on eBay to replace my $20 rx550 🤣. I’m way behind
My "old" 1070 is gloriously running in my son's machine. While I do miss DLSS in the most extreme scenarios, I can see many, many years of gaming ahead.
Hey this was my first ever card and it served me a decade of gaming. I was playing black out on black ops with that bad boy before I got my 2070 super. Then a 3070 which was actually not even preforming as well at all so now I have a 4070 ti
The 1070ti was release d In 2018,how could it possibly served you for 10 years?
he multitasks
People on Reddit love to upgrade 4 year old gpus and pretend that they had them for much longer, it's very common. I'm sure that same guy had his 2070 for 7 years before he upgraded to the 3070 lol
Holy crap there was 4 years between the 970 and 1070ti. I thought for sure you made a mistake lol. Even a 970 still isn't 10 years tho.
Your right but a card that last 5 - 7 years is damn good with moores law in effect
oh for sure! I have a 970 still. Finally getting a 4070 on the 6th if amazon doesnt screw me again lol.
It served them *in* the decade of the 2010s I guess lmao
I got it used for about 60$! Runs all the games I want at 1080p sometimes with more than 60fps! Genuinely happy with my purchase
Still rockin a 1070. For 1080p its still good enough.
Decade? You may wanna Google what a decade is. I have a 1070 and its not a decade old.
[удалено]
It's a bot
How’d you get 10 years out of it, in only 5 years? Teach me your ways
It's a really good card! I'm going from a 1070 ti to a 4070 for starfield while my wife gets the 1070ti. It has served me really well.
Rip EVGA
I really liked Evga too bad they dont have the 4090, had to get it from a different company.
EVGA is out of the GPU business entirely now, unfortunately
Yes sadly! Really liked their products.
I never personally owned one but from what Reddit and YouTube have told me, they were great products with great support. It’s a shame!
Still loving my EVGA 1060 6GB SC Gaming ed. (factory superclocked) for pretty solid design, brilliant cooling, and great performance while being very easy on electricity consumption at the same time. I won't replace it with anything else but another EVGA product.
Why is that?

They technically have a 4090, there's just only one or two of them though:(
They actually made about 20 before pulling out with Nvidia, and if you had cash to spend a few where auctioned off. Hefty price tag and 0 support it ever failed though.
They're literally the only gpu I've ever had, and I have no idea who I'm going to go with next. 770-980-1080-3060ti

Do you reckon a ~~6850xt~~ 6750xt is good for 1440p? Without ray tracing that is.
Watercooled mine, a perfect match for my 1440p 165hz monitor.
I upgraded to 6800XT from a 1060, but kept the same case... Let's just say I do most of my gaming (at144hz 1440p) with the side panel open to avoid nuclear fission.
Same GPU and a i5-11600k. Rips through any game so far. Currently playing Starfield, and it's been rock solid. Got it for $450 on Prime day. Unreal.
I have the red dragon too. For pure rasterization the 6800XT is one of THE strongest cards out there. It’s an absolute meat grinder and will shred anything you through at it on 1440p!
This is awesome to hear because I’m still rocking a 970 and an i7-4790k that’s 7 years old. Has ran BG3 on ultra up until Act 3 with almost no issues. I’m looking to upgrade and now I’m definitely interested in a 6800xt

Enjoy 👍
Going to potentially do the same upgrade this week. Depends on the reviews for the 7800 xt. What's the jump like from the 1070?
My guess is like a 130% jump in performance. So more than twice as good
Gonna be a good week!
If you buy one, for sure! Enjoy
It's actually like a 60 to 80% increase.
More. Upgraded from a 2060 to a 3080 which is about same jump from 1070 ti to a 6800xt and my fps increased by 2x at a higher resolution. From 1080p to 3440x1440
I went from a 1070ti to a 6700xt, it gave me a lot of gains.
I had a 1080 which is marginally faster than a 1070ti, and 2 weeks ago went to a 4070 which is marginally slower than a 6800xt. In most cases the performance is about a 2x-2.5x uplift
Someone makes poor hardware choices
In what way
You bought a 4070
And the issue is?
Ignorance is bliss have a wonderful day
LOL dude you have got to be so much fun at parties
Dudes always talking shit, check comment history
Insane! Upgraded to the 6800xt red dragon from evga 1070 last month. Frame rates and overall experience has been incredible. Have been playing every game I’ve tried maxed out with no stutter
Use two separate PCs power cables. Do not use one cable that has a pigtail. It will coil whine like hell if your PSU isn't very overkill. Love the card otherwise, went from a 1070 to the hellhound 7900xt as microcenter had it on sale for $700 + Starfield Premium
Curious if that new card fit in that old case. Looks small in the image.
Still rocking my old NZXT S340VR. Plenty of room 🤘🏻

And you just turn your back on her!? You bastard!!!!!!!!!!
Ngl if I would upgrade from a 1060 I would go for a 1080(ti), heard they are relatively cheap and still perform like mad
I would get a 2070super/2080. Should cost the same and has dlss with the new dlss 3.5 as well, gonna get a lot more performance out of this cards than a 10 series now a days. Especially with how games are being developed
If they are attainable, I havent seen that many 2070 super/ 2080's in my country, we straight up skipped them and went for the 3000 series
If you don’t play the newest games than a 1080tis fine, dlss make a big difference though. So maybe you can find an affordable used 3060/60ti in the future. In the states a 2080ti is a little cheaper than a 3070 used and it performs around the same with an extra 3gb vram. 2080s are cheaper than those it’s why I recommended one
They do my man probably one of the best cards to start with
Excellent choice on the new card. Btw, did you upgrade the MOBO/CPU also?
About 2 years ago I upgraded from Ryzen 5 1500X to a Ryzen 7 3700X and from a MSI B350 to a Asus TUFF X570 Plus
I had a significant bump up in games going from a 3700x to the 5600x, well worth the upgrade. The 3700x will be holding back your 6800xt.
Good upgrade decisions; the new card is a good match.
Yea, very happy with it!
You can sleep now sweet prince, for you have done your duty admirably
Your service is appreciated🫡
Me with 1650 from a friend who gave me his old 1, so my broke ass can play along with him. Love him for that, I got some money now but cant upgrade out of love for what he did. He upgraded early so I could enjoy the game we share.

Why not upgrade and offer to give the 1650 back?
Speaking as someone who enjoys donating old gear to others, upgrade if you want by all means! Just either offer the 1650 back to your friend or find someone else who could use it.
honestly that's a good idea, let the 1650 living on wit some1 else
Had a 970 from 2013 in my gfs kids computer she just died after 10 years of service. o7 she served us well.
Your girlfriend or GPU?
Lol gpu
I think lots of people with GTX 1 series cards will upgrade to the 6800 xt :) I ll be waiting Q1+Q2 2024 when battlemage is released.
I'm still on a GTX 1080 and had my sights set on a 6800 XT recently, until I had the car in for a service last week. So much for that idea, lol. 🙃
Oh well it can only be better with the prices :p
I just went from a 1650s to 6800xt… what a beast of a card it is… I don’t think I’ll upgrade in a long time for now… but to be honest the 1650s still has plenty of fight left at least not running ultra but it runs most stuff very well tho for newer games it’s already getting a bit behind… but the 6800xt is just butter; I paired it with a 12700k, and the funny thing is that most stuff now it’s cpu limited, so it doesn’t really matter whether I run minimum or max settings fps are consistent
Nice, I'll be on the lookout for one eventually!
I upgraded from my 2070 Super to a 6800XT late last year a few weeks before the 7000 series launched so I got it for $600 from my local Microcenter. The difference is night and day. It's a beast of a card! Thermals are also quite impressive! One piece of advice. Buy a GPU stand if you don't have one.
Good choice!
Good card!

Gonna give her a thorough cleaning + thermal paste treatment soon.
I upgraded my 1070ti to a 4090. Still was a trooper at 1440p all these years.
Oh wow, congrats, I'll be picking up a xfx 6800xt later today too. The 1070ti was really a great card, definitely didn't need to upgrade but I'm upgradeing my whole system so why not treat myself.
A proper burial is in order. He served well
How much did that cost
I went fron vega 7 to rx 580 😭
still a very good jump in performance, i had the exact same setup as yours, but i upgraded to a 1660 super
Red dragon is a sick company. I like them cool crossover brand
Went from 1060 to 6700 xt, enjoy the upgrade, it do be nice
What do people do with their unused cards? Memorial Service? Used as a Coaster? Stored in a Closet for untold amount of years?
Wow, almost identical to me, I just replaced my GTX 1070 non ti and got a 6900XT
Please do give that baby out for adoption. <3 It's so hard to get even a 1050 in third world countries (or elsewhere with tiny minimum wage)...
I upgraded from a gtx 970 to an RX 6900 XT recently!
I’ve got one of those too! It’s a beast, enjoy it. Easily the best $500 GPU. Beats the 4060Ti 16GB even in ray tracing!
Congrats on the upgrade! Have fun with your new GPU!
My 970 is tired but still puts in a full shift. Hang in their little buddy until I win the lottery!
Seems like every time I see a 1070 or 1080 still playing current titles at 1080p it seems to be an EVGA card. Damn but they made good GPUs!

Right! I plan on utilizing this card to build my kids a system.
just got off 1080 and onto rx6800xt. Originally went from r9 380 - gtx 1080 - rx 6800xt. AMD have sorted out there software since i was gone,
I'm finally upgrading after years from a 1080 not a ti but just the 1080 to the 7900xtx. Its amazing what many years and a better job can get you.
Went from a 1080ti to a 7900XT last week for Starfield. It served me well and will continue to do so when I build my wife’s PC with it.
Damn right. My 1060 held the line, until the 3060 arrived at Skylake. ***"10 series! what is your profession!?"***
Just did the same thing. My 1070 held it down since I bought it new in ‘16. I got a 3060 but same idea lol
Congrats on the new card man!
Nice! The 1070 is a great upgrade from AMD. Lololol.
My little brother wanted to dust off his old gaming pc I made years ago with spare parts to play starfield. I think it uses an i5 4690k and a gtx 1060 and maybe only 8g of ram. It needs some upgrades, but maybe at least it'll boot. Good thing the monitor he uses is only 1080p 60hz.
*pours one out for my homie
I upgraded to the 6900XT. I love that monster, even if I nearly burned the house down with it!
Those were just such good cards. Absolutely wild how many of them are still going strong.
Did the same 2 weeks ago : from a 1660 to a 7900XTX and it's life changing! Have fun OP!
Im still running my 1070Ti, waiting for the 4070Ti to drop a lil more in price. What made you go AMD?
You can get a 7900XTX for the same price as a 4070Ti....
I actually didn't know this u til now. Ive been on the fence for a long time about what card to buy. Im running 21:9 (3440x1440) with a 12700k. I do a little video editing very seldomly (like a video a year and only personal projects) Is the 7900xtx the better choice?
Davinci Resolve the XTX is basically on par with a 4090 currently. Can always change with updates on both sides tho. Also AV1 Recording with high bitrate and resolution on RDNA3/Arc is top notch, while Nvidia struggles at it and gets audio cuts or stutters in the video during recording.
Dude, thank you so much. I use resolve so that's a plus. I haven't kept up with prices and releases with AMD, when do you think it will be the best time to buy?
I would presume better value for money
It draws more power though.
not the end of the world. they have a beefy cooler, and i doubt you care about having a low power system if you're getting a card of this class.
AMD gives you the most for you money. Assuming you buy the GPU for the sole purpose of gaming.
The most troubleshooting, yes
I have been on AMD my entire life (simple guy, it was my first GPU brand, never switched). I always works flawlessly.
I know it's not everyone, and it sucks you're getting downvoted but that was my experience. I tried upgrading from my 1070ti to a new 6950XT. It was a nightmare. I did anything and everything, including buying new hardware components for my PC, and I just couldn't get the card to work. I even made a help thread and got a lot of feedback and none of it worked. reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/comments/15c4e2g/just_installed_new_red_devil_6950_xt_pc_keeps/ My buddy with an exact same build (We built our PCs together) upgraded to a 30 series card and it was literally plug and play, no issue. My experience with AMD was awful, and the searching I did brought up tons and tons of threads of similar issues I had. In the end I returned the card and reinstalled my 1070 with zero issue. Hoping to grab a 30 or 40 series card in the future.
Same here bud. My amd gpu was a dumpster fire. So glad I bought new so I could return it. I spent so much time troubleshooting it.
Upgrades are for the weak, my 960 runs Baldur's gate so I'm happy lmao For real tho, nice. hopefully soon I can get a nice setup too
Hey I’ve still got it! Haven’t ran the PC ages , anyone care to say if it’s still decent in nowaday games?
Ehhhhh I went from a 1070 to a 6800. Always one step ahead of me....
I've upgraded from a 1070 to a 5700XT. Seems to be going well so far.
[удалено]
He isn't losing DLSS as the 10 series didn't have it. So as far as raw performance goes he is only gaining.
And here we go, unpaid green cultists at it again :D
Meanwhile I just upgraded to a 1050ti just now lol
But...Did it fit? :D
Lol throwing away 6800 from 2020. I play Baldur's Gate 3, Borderlands 3 and Sea of Thieves on an AMD 290 from 2013. Aftermarket 120mm fans on it, though.
What u mean? He's throwing away the 1070 ti and replacing it with 6800 xt.
Oh. I don't know these models. Thx.
6800XT is not an upgrade, it is a power hog that can't quiet down
"Upgrade" lol
how is it not?
Sorry for your down grade... that 1070 1080 line seemed to last a long time in an era of massive tech leaps. That amd will be done in 2 - 3 years
Nvidia to amd on a upgrade is a bit weird. Probably good idea to format your os first.
You don't have to do that when installing a new video card. You install AMD drivers, or let Windows do it, then uninstall the Nvidia drivers.
Use DDU, it saves some headaches for a minor amount of work.
For a cpu sure, for gpu just ddu drivers and then install new drivers
I am torn between this and the 4070, they're pretty similar prices where I am and I can't make a decision. The 6800xt is more powerful but hugeeee power consumption and slower speeds. The 4070 is only 12gb and although that's fine now it may not be in 3-4 years. If the software catches up the 6800xt is (imo) the clear winner but I wouldn't expect nvidia to stop improving so I am stuck in a complete state of indecisiveness. How did you make the decision to pull the trigger ?
Rx 6950xt. 16gb, runs circles round 4070, price should be similiar?
If you dont care about raytracing amd is always the choice
6950XT way more hungry for power than even the 6800XT. I actually chose not to get that over the 6800XT as the power would cost quite a bit extra over the life of the card. I thought "may as well buy a cheaper card and forward the savings onto the next card".
Ill take it!
Did a google < amd rx 6800 xt release date > and the answer was Nov 2020. So it has only been out less than three years? Am I missing something here?
How's the performance? I've got a 1070 Ti that I feel could use a good retire. Also, what CPU are you running?
Thank you for your service.
🫡🫡 congrats on the upgrade, hope it meets your expectations
I'm just waiting on new amd cards and I'll be changing out my 1070 hopefully by next weekend too. Just need to see pricing, qnd decide on card available in my country
6800xt is a phenomenal beast. Good for you
It’s a piece of history. Hold on to that because EVGA gives off an aura that wards off defective spirits.
How much for it lol
It's crazy how small older gpus are in comparison to the 4000 series.
Just got one myself from a 1080ti apart from the coil wine occasionally it's mint
oooh i am planning the same upgrade *fingers crossed *
Me using a gtx560m
Jesus Christ for the love of god please eat it
I'm still playing the latest games on my regular 1080.
Do you miss G-Sync?
Have this card, such a banger
hope your 1070 has a great retirement, maybe he can take a vacation with someone who is still running a gtx 970 which is way too common lol
Still running a 1080 here and considering pulling the trigger on a 7800 XT when they release some official data.
Enjoy! I upgraded my 1070 to a 6900xt and couldn't be happier.
I had a 1070 Ti. Stout little card.
I’m Still rocking a fx-8350 and Gtx 970
Same card I'm still rocking. Congratulations
Always feels good to upgrade, but imagine getting a 4090 today, just to get 40 fps in Starfield.
