I know this question has been out there in the broad domain, but I'm trying to figure out the consensus of the fine SMEs at [H]... I have an opportunity to swap out my RTX 3080 for a 6900 XT, likely recouping $50-100 in the process. Worth the trade? A few points that may influence the decision:
- I'm running a 4k 60hz screen
- I have a passing interest in Raytracing, but there are only 2-3 games I've played/am playing that leverage RT
- I don't really care for DLSS, looks like applying an astigmatism to me and would rather scale back settings to run "clean"
- I no longer manufacture "value" by wasting energy/resources since 2014/ROI is no longer splendid -- sitting on my wallets until proof of stake at this point
- I have a good-quality 850w PSU
- I'm running a R7 5800 @ 4.5ghz
