sorted by- Not worth the uplift imo. Keep your 6800xt
At best 15% better at RT. And about 10% at straight rasterisation.
Wait for 8800xt or 9000 series.
You will also lose £150-200 selling your 6800xt and then have to spend more to buy the GRE at £522. (edited) - Come on retailers waiting patiently for better 7900 XTX pricing 🙏what are you hoping for? I've got my eye out too. My budget to move away from the 3060ti i have is £750. I got a feeling im going to be waiting a while, but need to go that way, as only have 4K screens
My current method is to check CeX, PC Part Picker and an Amazon wishlist i have setup with all the XTX cards they sell. Also, CamelCamelCamel is setup for all those Amazon listings to alert for any price drop for new, third-party or used. HUKD alerts also.
CeX is the most attractive at the moment with cards listed from £800 (the reference card is listed at £750, but is out of stock and i fear it could include that original run of over-heating AMD cards)
It's become somewhat of an obsession, but I'm determined and morale is still high. - Might as well buy a 7800xt custom unless you need the extra 10% perf for extra costIt's more than 10% according to Digital Foundry:
eurogamer.net/dig…iew
In raytracing it can be close to an rtx4070 and is about 20% faster than a 7800xt. (edited) - I got one of these it's great, the price I got it for was not but I needed a GPU for a build lol.
Great Deal Op!
Be wary though very niche if you do play it, AMD cards are notoriously known for crashing on Runescape - If only AMD dropped their prices by £100 universally across all their cards; the DLSS/RT argument would die overnight. Pay through the nose for leather jacket man or go the more budget friendly route. (edited)I am finding that people want AMD to reduce their prices, not to buy their products but to force Nvidia to reduce theirs so that an RTX card can be had at a lower price...
- I think the "close to a 4070" thing is a bit misleading though. Because they don't take into account ray tracing or DLSS in that.
If you have a state of the art game on 4K ultra settings with raytracing enabled the NVidia cards have raytracing cores which take rayracing from "slide show" to "just about playable" and then DLSS3 with frame generation that takes it further from "just about playable" to "smooth as butter".
The 7900 ray tracing performance is better than the previous gen, but still no-where close to the NVidia RX cores and the the FSR doesn't come close to DLSS3. So at best you'll get "just about playable".
It's a great card for the money, but I still think it's worth the extra for a 4070 at the moment, personally.I quoted Digital Foundry directly. This what they said and took raytracing into consideration:
eurogamer.net/dig…iewWhile the RX 7900 GRE may not actually be anything new as such, the package delivered by AMD here is terrific - and that's all down to the price-point. At $550, it's actually delivering more value overall than the RX 7800 XT, which has already received nigh-on universal praise for its value proposition. The GRE follows the same template, taken up another notch. It can't match Nvidia's features or RT performance (though there are some very close results vs RTX 4070 in some titles), but it can deliver more rasterisation performance and more memory - all for a lower cost. While we consider the Nvidia package to have value beyond the benchmarks, we understand entirely that others don't share our viewpoint - and for them, it's hard to argue against the GRE.The numbers don't lie. It's a great product. For less money you get generally superior rasterisation performance compared to the RTX 4070 Super - and that very useful higher memory allocation. Meanwhile, on the RT scores, it's slower than the 4070 Super, obviously, but it often delivers parity or close to it to the similarly-priced RTX 4070.
If you are talking about Cyberpunk Richard said he said it was a title closely developed with Nvidia so is optimised for their designs. I assume you meant an rtx4070 super? Also he said that he wouldn't get an RTX4070:Something else I'd like to point out too is that our benchmark suite does have a lot of RT benchmarks in them. It's easy to imagine that cost differentials here would shift significantly further in AMD's direction if you concentrated on raster performance only - obviously. However, even with our current selection of games, both RX 7800 XT and 7900 GRE do offer more value, though on the normalised scale, the RTX 4070 Super isn't far behind AMD and does have DLSS. From a personal perspective, the only card I wouldn't be considering here is the vanilla RTX 4070 unless it received a more significant discount - but ultimately, it's great that users have so many good choices in this important market sector.
(edited) - AuthorUPDATE: back in stockIt’s a China only Reference model shipped in a brown box not official reference packaging. Hopefully there is a decent warranty on it.
- its the most regrettable time, because i threw away the boxes literally on Monday, as I have to be in another part of the country for work reasons. Wondering if Scan can accept a return card without the box?No chance, maybe they would buy it back at a considerable lose but doubt it, best bet is to just keep it.
- Oh my, i dont know whether i should regret my 4070 purchase for £390 from a third party seller that i just got yesterday (edited)If that was price for a new there is nothing to regret, you can't get any better performance for that cheap.
- iv still got my MSI GeForce RTX 2080 TI GAMING X TRIO 11GB. paid £1169.99 in 2019That pricing is absolutely insane considering the difference I paid for a 1080 Ti the year before. (01/05/2018)
- Is this the XFX model or an AMD reference card? The images show the reference card but the title says XFX.
XFX model can be seen here: xfxforce.com/sho…greAuthorits an XFX reference model - You know if this was 450 quid there would be no excuse not to buy one.
- Still running a r9 280x and want to upgrade but keep being put off by the prices nowadays.Agreed. I'm constantly priced out of this market. Not because I'm poor, but because I'm unwilling to spend that much on a card where no game needs that much VRAM. 6gb is still fine for 1440p gaming.
- That should tickle Nvidia's 4070 super pricing. Heat added!
- Tempting. I'm still using the 1080 TI but think I might wait until Intel Battlemage or further price drops... (edited)
- 4070 super is way better
- Looks decent for the price and I need an upgrade, had my card for 4 years now, I have the 2080ti fe, was originally waiting till next cards thoWait for a Nvidia card to drop price. I own a 6800xt but in FPS games I notice a ms delay in response. It could be me. Edited. (edited)
- Big price drop great card
- Seems like a good price ! Nice find
- Heat OP, will be returning the Hellhound 7800XT I just bought from Amazon the other dayHow much did you get it for?
- Good price for a reference but won't be as quiet as AIB model.s
- Gets you just under RX 6950 XT performance. Not too bad.
- Looks like the reference models are significantly slower than the partners' ones. Much more so than is usually the case. Hardware Unboxed Video on the topic (edited)
- should i sell my 4090 and get one of these?Authorthats like selling a bugatti so you can buy and own a tesla instead
- £499.99 at ScanIt's not.
- I think whether these are worth it at current prices will depend a lot on whether or not they can be clocked to at least 7800XT levels in terms of core and memory. The stock performance is clearly not great despite the large compute increase, showing it's being held back likely by bandwidth, though its low core clocks aren't helping either. If it can be made to be more like 15% better than a 7800XT on average(without blowing up power draw), I'd say it's worthwhile.Watch the Digital Foundry review. In their benchmark suite,which is Nvidia friendly,it can be 20% faster in a lot of the games they test. The biggest gains are when raytracing is used. (edited)
- Seen reviews for this and it's looks to be a very good card for a "reasonable", price, every reviewer I saw rated it highly.
- I'd have probably bought this if I didn't already have a 7900XT. Only the XT and XTX were out at the time and there was no talk of cards like the 7800xt or GRE at the time until more recently lol. Very happy with my XT though
- Watched digital foundry it's not a bad card at all.
- This or a 7800 XT?

GPU - RX 6700 XT 12GB Graphics Card

I would REALLY appreciate some advice on some solid upgrades I could make to my rig. I also had the 5800 X3D in mind as my CPU upgrade.You're looking on dumping a hell of a lot of money to improve an already decent gaming PC. A 7900GRE & 5800X3D will be the best part of £800 combined, in which case you'd probably be better just buying a higher tier GPU.
What resolution are you targeting? - was in the newsletter:
someones messed up somewhereI also got the email and the image on top of this one said £529.99 - Anyone know the length of this card?
Little hard to find online it seems and I only have limited space in my caseput your case in pc parts pickers and the gpu it should tell you if the graphics card will fit - This is a dope card at really good price. I think people are delusional, paid double for a 3070 when there was a shortage and now it seems nothing is at a good price. Really, £100 is going to make a difference in your budget when building a £1500 PC?Reason people want a better deal is because the prices of graphics cards are inflated to stupid levels, better than they have been but not as they should be! Come on mate your lucky to get max setting, consistent 60fps out of a £600 pound card - that's 600 pounds mate....might be nothing to you but for the average person who has a life and responsibilities....it's just too much for what you get! Then throw in the bonus of how long it will be supported for in AAA games and it's ludicrous you can get a console which can do pretty much everything a pc can do and with a joystick, 4k 120hz for around £400....I know what I would buy...well I did actually....say helllooo to the XSX 😁
- as DF have said intriguing card. Excellent rasterization better than NV in most instances and up to and beyond NV in some RT performance. As has been since day dot though its game dependent but hasn't this always been the case?. Heading in the right direction at leastYou can overclock the 7800xt to match the GRE..RT is only 10-15fps better with the GRE but for £40 more than the 7800XT I’d have to concede the GRE is the better buy. (edited)
- god i only bought the 7800xt last month for £480, and im regretting already.Return it babe, under the Crap Graphics Card Protection Act 2024 (edited)
- Great card
- I want more Noctua edition GPUs, still got my 3070 and it's silent and it only comes at the cost of needing four slots.
- If there was a confirmed waterblock for any of these cards (bar XFX) I'd have already ordered one, seems perfect for 1440p

In raytracing titles it can be upto 20% faster than a 7800xt and close to a rtx4070. Also the reference 7900gre in this deal can draw less power than reference and aftermarket 7800xt cards:

Hardware Unbox Steve said no overclocking is a bug and AMD is going to fix it.
"While the RX 7900 GRE may not actually be anything new as such, the package delivered by AMD here is terrific - and that's all down to the price-point.

Meanwhile, on the RT scores, it's slower than the 4070 Super, obviously, but it often delivers parity or close to it to the similarly-priced RTX 4070."
"In short, the RX 7900 GRE continues the trend established by the 7800 XT: it makes the user ask themselves a lot of questions about what they want from their GPU. The GRE doesn't beat the excellent RTX 4070 Super comprehensively - but where it is better, it's got a significant advantage, the extra VRAM is a great thing to have and the lower pricing is clearly very compelling."
Here is what Gamersnexus had to say here and here is a partial transcript of his summary
"this card is often equidistant from a 7900xt to a 7800xt,very literally sitting in the middle,at times they can break rank....in scenarios which are memory bandwith limited the 7800xt can catch up a little bit never surpassing it....the compute distance difference is still massive regardless of some of the clock differences and the same goes with the 7900xt which can pull ahead of upwards of 24....27% improvement at the very high end....but for the most case if you call 18% uplift....the 7900gre trades places with the 4070 super in many of the rasterised tests....you can consider themselves functionally the same....the 7900gre does pull ahead in some of the games we looked at...most noticeably it pulls ahead at 4K..nvidia holds an advantage in RT workloads especially the heavier ones.....but for games were RT is back off a little like Resident Evil....where its light on the overall RT load...AMD is able to maintain rank with Nvidia a lot better."
