Difficult as even 2nd Hand cards can be expensive! What are you currently running? I would agree with Humbug that if you can get a 6600 in your price range it should do the job you are looking for .

Yes

Would agree that with a budget of £250-£450 top end would be 7800xt and budget 6800. Overall , if you can wait and save another £100 , I would go for the 7900gre

Was a little concerned when I bought my 6800xt back in May 2023 but I need not have worried regular solid updates.:)

Unless your having issues - No. Wait for next gen ( Of course if you can do the upgrade for £100 or less in which case.....)

Am in a similar position and decided that it would be best to wait for Zen 5 - Hopefully this is the right choice!!

I would agree with 555BUK 's suggestion. (although I do believe that nvidia prices are exorbitant it appears that they hold their value better and have better extras eg.DLSS)

Sorry about your problems BUT do not start fixing yourself - it will void your warranty! (you might be lucky but why take the risk!) It may mean a week or so until you have a working replacement but worth it.:)

Tempted by one of these! Currently running air cooled 5900x with Arctic MX 6 But was thinking of changing paste to sheet next time of clean up (done once a yr or so) - Am not looking foward to battling with removing the cpu and a sheet will, I hope, minimize the problem of the cpu sticking to...

Realised a year or so ago that nvidia had priced themselves out of my market so went 2nd hand (3080) .That did not go well so decided to try AMD (6800xt) . I do not wish to push my luck BUT have to say that the 6800xt has been good so far . I do not see a situation where I would be going back...

Good to hear that your perseverance paid although a little dissapointing (probably) that it seems pretty clear that you need to upgrade m-board,cpu etc. Just goes to show that it is best to ignore opinions expressed by people like me !!:o Keep us informed.

Send it back! A new card should not need all this attention.

Good news !!- Let us know how it goes.

Any news on 6800 warranty?

Taking into account what you can sell the 3070 for the upgrade to a 4070 super is a decent move imo.:)

Native for me -AMD 6800xt

Helpful advise ?

CEX - might not be best price but once you have sold no further worries.

If using an amd gpu - have a look at your adrenalin software. Google 'undervolt' and the name of your gpu I found Tech Yes city's you tube guide helpful.

Wait ! (But I have been proven wrong in the past :p)
