    I’m in the same boat, I have a gtx 1060 card, an also looking to upgrade.

    Even though the 6800 xt and 7800 xt is almost the same in performance, the 7800 xt is about 93$ cheaper, while also being more power effecient.

    I also looked at the 6950 xt, as that is 50$ more than the 7800 xt. But looking at power consumption, it’s almost using alot more.

    So I also think I’m going with the 7800 xt, but I would like others input

      As someone who owns a 6900 XT buy a lower power card. My system sometimes will lock up during hot days of I play for more than 4 hours in one sitting without the fans maxed out. Nevermind how insanely hot my room gets.

      High TDP cards are awful. Though at least I have good frames.
