Question Is it worth paying that bit extra?

[yanna1]

Been looking to upgrade my gpu for a while now. I'm not a massive gamer but I do like abit of Planet Coaster, Cities Skylines, Flight Sim and Call of Duty from time to time. I'm keen to upgrade before Cities Skylines 2 comes out. I play at 1440p

I was looking at the Rx6800 (non xt) for £440 but I have seen an rx7800 at £490. I am interested to see if people think its worth the extra. Originally I was thinking of spending £400 give or take £50. Definitely don't want to go over £500.

Happy to hear other suggestions also for a gpu upgrade

Thank you

If you are contemplating to spend some extra money then 6800XT . probably best from AMD yet.

Thanks. Funny thing is the cheapest Rx6800 xt is £510. Thats why I struggling to decide.

I think it may be worth it as it's unlikely even next gen would be much better for reasonable money. your GTX 1660 super is miserable baby comparing to this one.

Thanks. Not keen on braking that £500 price point. Since it will be such a big jump up from my GTX1660s maybe I will just stick to the £440 RX6800 (non xt). Tempted by that RX7800xt because of its price though.
