6700xt Speedster?

[cheiften98]

Ive only ever had Nvidia graphics cards. 750ti, Gigabyte GTX 960 and a Asus GTX 1070 for the last 5-6years.  I play at 1440p and the 6700XT looks like a good upgrade from benchmakrs, Was tempted by the 3060ti but the lower vram put me off and now AMD cards include The Last Of Us with it. 
Though i've just never heard of the brand "XFX Speedster".  Are they a reputable brand?

the 6750XT likely isnt worth it for an extra 40euro.

I think I would need to upgrade my powersupply too, Ive had that 7 years. 
Thanks

yes they are a reputable brand and have sold gpus for years now. I haven't heard of many people that have had problems with them. if its a good price then go for it. 6700 xt is a better price to performance than 6750 xt as its only an overclock by amd

Corsair CX600M 600 W 80+ Bronze

I think it will just be enough but probably best to upgrade as ive had this one so long.

I have that code for the Last of us.. Wont be using it, its simple data harvesting.

what do you mean by that? Just so they can get the number of copies sold up?

By default wheter I use it or not they 'sold' at least 100k keys to AMD (or whom ever, the same sale was going on here in the Netherlands). Yeah indeed crank up the sales numbers, and also find out who might be interested to buy part 2. Not sure if there is any but im assuming there will be some form of pay to play/win in the game it self isnt there? DLC's otherwise. But I can recall it being pay to win. 

Not sure if im allowed to share that code on this platform, and if it even would work in another country. 

I thought it was a singleplayer game?
Anyhow Ive been wanting to upgrade for a while so its just an extra sweetener for me. Ive never gone AMD for a Graphics card.

Just quoting some headlines here..

 

"The Last of Us' microtransactions are still a cause for concern in 2019. While the game is currently available for free through PS Plus, its pay-to-win features remain locked."

"'The Last Of Us' Season 1 Finale Draws 8.2 Million Viewers, Another Series High"

"Is The Last Of Us Remastered still worth the buy?"

"Was game awards rigged in favor of The last of us 2? "

"Ps4 Last of Us MP Factions Microtransactions Pay to win weapons - reddit
You're being a little unfair to ND here, and the DLC is in no way pay to win, there's plenty of OP loadouts you can make without dlc, DLC just expands your options. The base game was already worth the 60$, I don't mind paying for dlc especially because they made free map packs too 7 level 2"

"Can you play 'The Last of Us Part II' if you didn't play the first one?"

"Upcoming The Last of Us multiplayer game might be free to play"

 

So yeah pretty obvious to me where this is heading.. :]

oh, the 6700xt seemes like a nice price at 430 euro and then I can play The Last of Us which ive wanted to play forever but never bought a playstation.

Not sure where you are located but I went for the Hellhound discount. 12gb. But there is one downside, blue fan color is fixed. So that needs to match the rest of your build. But if that does there is this cute backplate with the Hellhound on it and its eye is lighting up blue. Turned off they are a bit frost white. 

The rest of the card has this nice black finish.. 

 

What are the specs of your PSU?
 

600 W 80+ bronze

Yeah im not an expert on this one but I would go for something like at least 850w but even better is 1000w and then take platinum (or titanium if you have money to spend). 

 

Edit: sorry for making you repeat yourself. 

you're all good. on the AMD website it says 650w tdp. other people are saying I should be fine. I think its something to wait for a sale on a psu. pcpartpicker doesnt have any issues. 

[cheiften98]

I ordered the gpu and some extra thermal paste to replace it on my cpu.
