AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT Review: Old Performance, New Price Point

[leokoh]

I have a question. When playing Fortnite at 1080p with 7800xt 7800x3d and 4070ti 13700k with ``3D resolution'' and ``draw distance'' set to the highest, and other settings set to the lowest or off, which configuration will yield more fps?

Interesting stuff.
A couple of weeks ago I sprung for an upgrade on my 6700XT by buying a cheap (LOL) 6950XT $579 (plus free Starfield. Unfortunately I have not enjoyed the experience, my office feels like it has an extra space heater in it and the XFX Merc sounds like a 747 on runway. At default the card reaches108C hotspot. I truly expected more from XFX. Fast forward today, the card is going back to Amazon as faulty, I really don't think 108C is acceptable at 100% fan. I decided to grab a Powercolor Hellhound 7800XT instead. Yes, less performance than the 6950XT, but not by much and I should have a quieter and cooler office. Plus another free copy of Starfield!

Today, I bought a replacement for my 6700 XT Red Devil. I chose a 7900 XT Hellhound as a replacement (they ran out of Red Devils). I will then sell my 6700 XT on eBay. I bought the 6700 XT just b4 the prices went down (I had to buy a GPU as my 1080ti KiNGPiN died on Xmas Day) & I paid $1299 in Oz, I saw it at $1450 new the other day, but it is sold out in Oz now. You can get a new 1 in Pommie Land for over $1665. I hope I get a good price for my 6700 XT Red Devil
