Best bang for the buck AMD GPU upgrade from RX 5600XT?

[Memes]

Bought a used ROG 5600XT 4 years ago and its starting to show its age on these newer games so I'm looking into upgrading my GPU preferably AMD that would be the best bang for my buck.

Playing on 1080p 144hz might go 1440p later in the future and my budget would probably be below $400. Anything I would miss out from the Radeon 7000 series if I go with the 6000 series instead? Right now I'm looking into the 7600XT instead of the 6750XT cause theyre the same price, 7700XT and the 6800 non XT. Any other recommendations you guys would offer? Running on a Ryzen 3600XT with 2X16GB 3600mhz ram with 650W PSU

I have a 6800 and think it's quite good for the price. I like how it has 16GB of VRAM, which is nice to have for future games.

The only downside I would say is ray tracing capability. I tried Portal with RTX and performance was abysmal.

But if you're playing games without ray tracing, it's a very solid card.

7600XT is overpriced and relatively weak for the price, not worth it.
7700XT is gutted version of 7800XT but it`s gutted too much and not worth the price.
I would go for 6800, should be able to get it for $400, solid card for this money.

Keep an eye out for a 6900xt or 6950xt. you can sometimes find them for 500 but might be hard now.

He has 650W PSU, would need to upgrade that too then since they draw quite a lot.

If I dont really care about ray tracing 6800 should be a solid option? How come you dont recommend the new 7000 series radeon? Read up some new features they have and probably would have better support in the future.

Since you're looking for the best for the money, while the 7000series isn't much of an improvement over the 6000, the older generation is still better in what you are looking. Of course, they may not have AV1 encoding, and the new "features" are from the software, not the GPU itself.

Yep it`s good option.
Reason why not to recommend 7000 series cards is because AMD is playing mindtricks with their design.
RX 6800 has same or better performance as RX 7700 XT depending on game, some games average 10-20 fps better. So why buy 12 GB VRAM card when you can get better performing card with 16 GB VRAM for same money.
Not even talking about RX 7600 XT that was fitted with 16 GB VRAM but has significantly weaker performance that can`t make use of that amount of VRAM anyway. Also it costs too much for what you get.
Good AMD 7000 series cards that have not been compromised with crappy design start from RX 7800 XT for $500 and RX 7900 GRE for $550. So unless you plan to spend that kind of money the RX 6800 is better option then 7000 series.

Depends of the budget.

6700XT is the value king at $320
6800 non XT is great at $400
7900GRE is fantastic if you don’t care about ray tracing and it actually can do RT relatively OK.

Even 7900xtx can be considered a decent value for 4K gamers.

Right now my cpu is a 3600xt should I leave it as is or getting the 5800X3D the one I wanted would be a huge benefit as well?
