Help choosing a graphics card

[Icewlf]

Hi, I was wondering if the PowerColor AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT Red Devil Overclocked Triple Fan 12GB GDDR6 PCIe 4.0 was a decent graphics card.   I'm trying to decide on a relatively inexpensive card to use on a new build.  By relatively inexpensive, I'm looking $700 or less, but would prefer the $500 range.  I don't a modest amount of gaming, and a modest amount of photo editing.   My current machine is running a GTX1080, so most any card should give me a performance increase.    I'll be using a Ryzan 9 7950X in the new build, but I'm not really worried about bottlenecking the GPU at this time, as long as I'm not going to see a big difference in performance at 1080p or 1440p at the max.  Most of my games I run at 1080, but my monitor will only handle 1440, so I'm not really concerned about 4K performance.  I'm looking to find a good balance between price and performance and hopefully a card that will last me 3-5 years or more.  

 

I was looking at the RX 6750 XT at the moments because there are several on amazon for the $450 range, and it appear to have decent overall performance (great when compared to my current card).   I wanted some opinions on is this a good card and price, or is there another I should be looking at to maximize my value, while staying below $700.

 

Thanks for the time and help!

The 6750 xt is better.   30% better - ymmv.

 

I'm assume you're using the 7950 for your job . . . and you play games like Fortnight, CoD, ans other online competitive games.  I'm assuming a 120 Hz 1440p monitor?

 

That being said the 6750 is ok at $450 and you get a couple of "free" games too.     Just make sure there are no functions you use the Nvidia Board for thats not on the AMD board.

 

An Nvidia 1030 will last you 10 years maybe 50 years.  Some people are still using the Apple 2e.  That being said "last 3-5 years" is heavily subjective and hence meaningless.
