RTX 2080 Ti or RX 6750 XT?

[Randy Marsh]

I can’t decide, which one to get?

“Refurbished” RTX 2080 Ti: $325 USD

“Open Box” RX 6750 XT: $380 USD

Never use a "refurbished", nor an "open box", nor a "b-stock", nor a "used" GPU in any case nowadays. You can never trust these kind of GPUs, as they surely had been abused to mine crypto currencies.

Stick to "factory new" GPUs only.

I wouldnt even pay $100 for a "used" RTX 2080 Ti ..

Why does everyone just assume it's been used for mining?

But again that's YOU and I get that. Your money, your take on how best to spend it. Nothing wrong with that. But someone on a tight budget who maybe needs it and can get it, shouldn't always be turned off to such options.

That's why I asked the OP to link to where they are seeing these GPUs online to further see if it's even worth the risk.

If it's on Ebay for example and returns are accepted and you pay with PayPal. There isn't a whole lot of risk there.

Before that crypto mining story/era, of course it was sorta safe to buy "used" GPUs, as these had been an alternative.

Nowadays, as times have changed of course, is a different story for sure. Todays used GPUs are in no way trustworthy anymore. Never will anymore.. as sad as it is.. You might be happy for a few months, and then it bricks or whatever. Not worthy to invest into that..

Best to "invest" into a factory new, robust and "reliable" GPU (brand), which will held easily for a decade and even more...

My EVGA GTX 1050 Ti FTW Gaming ACX 3.0[www.evga.com] still runs like a charm, which I have "lended" to my younger brother for an infinite time, as I have been on notebooks only.

However, "factory new" hardware of today have issues as well as annoying and loudish "coil whining" for example, hardware produced by a cheap manufacturer etc.. malfunction hardware could happen, of course, but that sort of stuff isnt an exception nowadays anymore.

Everyone and everything becomes "sloppy" and tricky...

People could buy a GPU on Amazon, open a retour ticket instantly, burn that GPU for 30 days and then return it. Bang!! Just 1 GPU? Multiple GPUs!!

If Amazon, eBay, Paypal... or whatever. It is too easy to abuse and exploit GPUs nowadays.

For what it's worth, Tom's Hardware GPU benchmarks puts the 6750xt a bit above the 2080 Ti for 1080 ultra, about even on 1440 ultra, and a bit below on 4k ultra.
Not raytracting, of course. /shrug



(I'd never buy used hardware of any kind. Mining or not.)

As I have said earlier, AMD products may look attractive because AMD always sells their products around 20% below their listed msrp, 6700xt's MSRP is $480 but they sell it for $350, 6800xt's MSRP is $680 but they sell it for $550. That's how AMD survives in the market.
8 out of 10 people in the market buy NVIDIA GPUs, it not only shows people's Overwhelmingly love for Nvidia but also shows that people want correct product at correct price, not discount Lollipops.

Not intending to be overly nosy but it would be interesting if OP came back and gave an update on a decision (if any).

Personally, buying new is ideal, but sometimes circumstances are more favorable to buying used. Depends.

I haven’t picked a decision, just because how close and similar the performance are between the 2 GPU’s.

I plan on using it for 1080p 240hz for the competitive frames and later down the line 1440p.

I’m gonna upgrade slowly.

Current Specs:

GTX 1080

i7 7700k

16gb ram

Hi, can you please stop turning every legitimate thread into a brand argument? It's concerning, and I don't know why you feel the need to boast about a given brand (and/or against a given brand), or do damage control for it, but please stop. These same bad faith arguments aren't relevant to the threads you introduce them into and serve no purpose. Userbenchmark.com is that way, and you might find it would love to have you.

Thank you.

The 6750-XT makes more sense since it isn’t refurbished, uses less power for almost the same performance, and AMD driver updates will keep it more relevant over time and it’ll start winning more than it loses to the 2080 Ti. There’s literally no reason to buy that old flagship in this instance.

OK, thank you for the update on the situation. I have the same gpu--a gtx 1080 Founders that's still in excellent condition but slipping a lot in the grand scheme of things. I installed an rtx 4070 Founders a couple of weeks ago, intending this to be just a replacement but what I got was a real energy efficient little powerhouse of an upgrade.

I hope your upgrade will be as satisfactory--it's nice to replace these older cards with something a little more modern and efficient. Your whole desktop experience improves, not just your gaming.

Yes, the power draw is another good point.

Like AMD's 6950 XT is flirting with a fantastic price/performance spot when it drops to near $600 or a little more, but the PSU needs, the power draw, the heat generation, etc.; makes me not want to consider it, even though it's close to the 6800 XT in price at times.

Performance is great, but it doesn't exist in a vacuum.

The RTX 4070 is a decent upgrade to a GTX 1080. You can ROUGHLY compare that to an RTX 3060, so the RTX 4070 is a generation newer and a tier higher. Or you could say the RTX 4070 a bit lower than the RTX 3080 (while being more efficient and having more VRAM), so you basically went up two generations of performance at the same tier, which is probably a pretty typical upgrade. Meanwhile I'm on a GTX 1060 and scoffing at the incoming RTX 4060 (but that's less about raw performance and more about.... everything else).

I went from RTX 2060 to RTX 3070 to RX 6900 XT to RX 7900 XT and of all cards the one to give me the most issues was the 3070 but it was minor and easy to fix.

I don;t understand these fools who keep downplaying either side without logic or facts.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

It might be better then to look for a better deal on a brand new RX 6800 non-XT

While the 6700 XT and 6750 XT can do fine @ 1440p; I doubt its going to do as well as you'd like once you start going above 165Hz or so; even at 1080p.

Nvidia always delivered us great products at reasonable price, No surprise that people love Nvidia so much and it's so popular among gamers. Steam data says top 10 most owned GPUs by the Steam players are all Nvidia, AMD is at the 12th position.

Some people condemn 40 series for being overly expensive, but that's not true.
Yes, 4080 and 4070 Ti are little extra pricey in the lineup, but it's true for every generation or lineup. Not all the GPUs in a generation or lineup can give you similar level of value for money, or price/performance ratio. GTX 1060 was a excellent value for money, but same CAN'T be said for GTX 1070, which was just 30% faster but 60% more pricey than 1060. Good and bad products, both ALWAYS existed in every lineup/ generations, it doesn't make a company bad.

Unlike 4080, the 4070 is a GOOD card for the price, it's just $100 more expensive form previous gen 3070 and is 30% faster in raw performance with 4GB extra memory (yes, memory costs money) and with added power efficiency, $600 is a very competitive price for 4070.
Same applies for RTX 4090, given that it's near 2X the performance of RTX 3080 and more Vram than 2 of 3080s combined, the $1600 price tag isn't too bad.
Today NVIDIA announced 4060 Ti, the 8GB model costs $400 like previous gen 3060Ti (means: Zero price increase) and there is a 16Gb model which costs $100 extra. Since OP is planning to spend $380 on a new GPU, I suggest to wait for few weeks and get the 4060 Ti, it will be a better purchase than your planned 6700/ 6750xt.

Please stop! Stop attempting to turn any thread into an opportunity to incite a brand argument by belittling a certain company or doing damage control for a certain other company. It's disruptive especially in help/suggestion threads like this one. It's disrespectful and rude to the people making these threads for help/support/advice. These sorts of threads are not playgrounds to argue biases. Time and place.

Go make a topic for it already. Make a topic like "thoughts about nVidia" or "thoughts about the graphics card market" or whatever and then people who care to discuss those broader subject(s) can do so there if they choose.
