Thank u there's a 6800 for 409 is that worth it? Keep in mind I'm gonna sell my older gpu so for $200 so realistically it's only 209

Nah, it'll be a rather disappointing upgrade, you'll get like +25% FPS

Try to get enough cash for a 7800XT or better, to get +50% performance, that's the minimal level I find worthwhile

Either go up to the 6800XT (or better), or as someone already mentioned, 7800XT or 7900 GRE.
