nope, 7800xt is at ~3.4% rx 6800xt.
it's rx 7700xt the one with ~+5% 6800 vanilla performance.

I personally prefer the XFX aesthetic anyways, so $30 more for this is worth looking at too;

My friend have the PowerColor Fighter one and he said no driver issues and it can overclock very well, even he can use MPT for extreme overclocking and still use the stock fan.
Sweet, thanks for the detail. Seems like a pretty sweet upgrade from my 1060!

I just checked the link and it's back in stock!!! with Starfield premium nonetheless!!!
It would be huge improvement, you would triple your framerate based on TPU's review data:

Anyone unwilling to buy one of these at $400 with a free Tier 1 game is henceforth forbidden from ever complaining about nVidia's ever-worsening consumer pricing.

I'd be on board if I didn't already have a 6800xt

Nor if one was to get a higher performing 7800XT at similar $/performance ratio. A 6800XT at $450 would also be a great grab.

Just bought a 6800 not too long ago to replace the 1080 on my wife's machine. Seems like a great card so far, definitely one of the best value-to-performance out there right now.

How noticeable of an upgrade was it? My 1080 Ti is starting to show its age and I have no idea what to upgrade to.

2080ti=6800 approx.
Spend a coffee and a sandwich more and get at least a bump over that. Only you know your budget as you haven't given a hint on that.
Are you asking for an opinion or a random guess?

Based on the same link data from TPU:
It will be ~151% jump, so will be quite noticeable.

For a few $$ more you can have far more lasting performance. Spend, spend my child!

I've looked at oodles of benchmarks. Looking for real world opinions. Budget isn't my issue outside of paying $1,500 for a gpu, more like satisfaction of dollar per unit of enjoyment. Seeing if people who upgraded from the same card I have felt that the real world upgrade was great or just meh.

Good look. I would've never imagined a 6800 (non XT) would have 3 x 8 pin. Even my XFX 6900XT (which has the slightly improved "6900XTH" chip) only uses 2 x 8 pin.

Most likely safe to use one pigtail: still only needs minimum 650w PSU

Hard to say because I also upgraded her CPU and RAM, but based on what I've seen it's a pretty considerable upgrade.
3x8 seems odd for a plain 6800, but that's what it says.
So you can just plug 2 out of 3 in? No splitter?

No... guess I should have clarified
2 of the connections would get the pigtail from the psu, with remaining one getting the other wire from psu...
