Hello , I recently talked with someone of Facebook marketplace and they said they are willing to swap their rx 6800xt taichi for my RTX 3070 aorus master , if you ask why , I noticed that amd cards get more FPS in games than nvidia , since I have a ryzen 5 3600 and I play only 1080p , anyway , the problem is that my psu does not have 3 different cables  for pcie , it has one and it is split , and the card that I want requires 3 ? Can I buy an adapter and after put it into the gpu ? Or I need a whole new psu, I left you guys a pic with what I’m talking about

This is such an advantageous trade that I would be careful about things.  The 6800xt is a 3080 competitor not a 3070 competitior.  This could be a mining thing or a DLSS thing but the msrp for the 6800xt isn’t just higher than the 3070 it’s a LOT higher.  The other party will be taking some level of financial loss.  Use caution.  Just blindly Throwing your card in the mail might mean it’s the last you hear of this other person. I don’t even know how to safely accomplish such a trade. Doesn’t mean there isn’t one of course.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

I won’t put it in mail , we will do it f2f , also he wants it cause his motherboard is aorus pro and would look good with the gpu cause it’s aorus lol

When you do the trade open the box and make sure there’s actually a card inside.  Also warranties and things can mean a lot.  A card that can’t be RMAed if it has problems has problems.

If your PSU doesn't have 3 PCI-E connectors - It's because it can't handle it.

Also you have to consider the buggy drivers of AMD.

This. Kinda easy to imagine why other person would want a trade...

Depends on the games probably,  but I still think the 3070 is a very good card,  and if you actually have issues with the performance it might very well be because of issues with your system.   Generally speaking i don't understand why you're not happy with a 3070, the card is completely OP ,especially for 1080p.

 

 

I'd be really careful, that deal sounds fishy, and you might end up even more unhappy with the allegedly stronger card...

VS650 is a low end groupregulated psu meant for office or low end gaming systems. I wouldn't pair that with a >$1000 videocard.

You think it was OK because you didn't measure voltages, riplle, transient time response etcetera. Good luck!

No issues with my 6900xt either, it's just a meme at this point that the echochamber kids keep repeating.

With a RTX 3070 or 6800 XT I recommend a high end 750w psu like Corsair RMx/RMi/HX, be quiet Straight Power 11, MSI MPG Ax50GF, Enermax Revolution D.F., Fractal Design ION+.
