Knowing Bethesda, game will probably be choppy on day 1 with a 4090
Minimum: AMD Radeon RX 5700, NVIDIA GeForce 1070 Ti
Recommended: AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080
6700 XT performs between a 2080 and 2080 Ti so the 6800 XT recommendation only makes sense if Bethesda are going all out with a special "AMD 16GB VRAM mode" to show up NVIDIA
Bethesda games have always run fine for me on modest hardware.
The 6800 XT can be quite a big step up in performance compared to a 6700 XT, especially if targeting 4K high/ultra settings.
How dare!!!
Daddy Todd would never lie to us.
"Sixteen times the detail"
Agreed… Never
Every mountain can be climbed.
Every floor clipped through.
I think Starfield is just an improved version of Fallout 4 for space setting. Shouldn't be that demanding for hardware.
Seen any 6800XT deals?
Been looking for a good deal on the 6800XT as well. Waiting for it to drop around 600-ish before pulling the trigger though
Me too, staticice shows only a handful of sellers offering them with prices ranging from $1200-$2300 lol
6800xt has been 800 on Amazon during prime days. hell, just checked, it's 820 rn.
@shabaka: You are looking at US stock at that price. $1669 is the cheapest for aus stock on amazon that i can see (or $1287 for a 6900 XT lol)
@lordezekiel: Yes. I suppose so.
It is sold by amazon us and so 30 day return wound cover DOA.
And amazon would pay the return postage.
I suppose you may not have the option of pursuing a warranty claim with the manufacturer.
Less than half price though…. Very tempting to roll the dice.
Doesn't Steam suggest 6800XT as the recommended GPU for Starfield? So this 6700XT is below the recommended system?
Indeed, please at least read the first 2 comments on this deal.
Wait for 7800 and 7700 not long now.
Almost similar price at Umart (https://www.umart.com.au/product/gigabyte-radeon-rx-6700-xt-…), better for those who can C&C
Hah it was $484 at Umart last week, now $499
It depends on which store you select and whether you want it delivered. Click and collect from all NSW stores is $481 right now.
@ChatGPT: Can you connect 4 basic monitors (like a 24 inch 1920X1080) to this card, as there are 2 HDMI's and 2 DP's ?
Wow
Surcharge is bs
The title should be:
Buy starfield: get Radeon 6700 XT
literally, isn't starfield like $120
Grab like 6 years of game pass for that much lol
nice, reminded me i don't need to buy it, already ahve gamepass lol. should work on pc too?
@CalmLemons: Yeah should be day 1 on PC as well, haven't seen any suggestion to the contrary so far.
Much better deal than the laughing stock of a 7600 and comes with higher tiered Starfield as a bonus. Amazing. Without looking it up, the game have to value more than $100 by itself right?
AMDs business strategy continues to be confusing as per the usual. At this point I’m beginning to think the medium end 7000 series is created for people that’s not dumb enough to pay for 40 gen premium but not smart enough that they then fell for the trap thats these cards.
One can only hope that 7800 and 7700 will be better value for money but at this point I’m afraid they will just continue the trend of being ever so slightly better value than medium range 40 gen cards while remaining a bad value card when compared to last generation cards from either brand.
I think the premium edition is like 160 on steam, kinda nuts
These bundle games tend to be a little cheaper than retail when they hit the marketplace though.
Starfield Premium appears to be ~$140 at the moment on GMG, so that's probably your absolute ceiling there for evaluating it's value.
Australia peso against US dollar.

RDNA 3 is a failure and AMD are currently spread too thin
RX 7600: higher priced 6650 XT
RX 7800: sitting on the shelf
PS5 Pro / Series X2 APU: under development and prioritised over the 7800
Phoenix APU: prioritised custom drivers for the Radeon 780M in the ROG Ally, all other laptops/Mini PC's running Phoenix have sh*t drivers
FSR 3: announced November 2022, still not available
ROCm support for more RDNA2/3 cards: "coming soon"
ROCm for Windows: "coming soon"
Linux is the superior OS for AMD simply because Valve have the Steam Deck developers working around the clock on the drivers and API's
People are also starting to catch on with the first gen RDNA 3 chiplet issues like inefficient power consumption plus wack multi-monitor power wastage
If RDNA 3 = Zen 1 and the refresh RDNA 3.5/7950 XTX = Zen+, things will not significantly improve until RDNA 4/8000 series (Zen 2)
I was so keen on getting the 7900 XTX to replace my 1080 ti until I looked into the issues it had; the vapour chamber issue (only with reference cards). The high power consumption with multi-monitor setups and the crappy drivers. It honestly did not impress as me as much.
Just going to wait it out for AMD to iron out the kinks, it seems like issues with the chiplet design that can't be fixed with drivers.
Didn't they fix the monitor power consumption thing?
And more than a few people have had stable XTX running.
I am in the same boat as you with a old 1080ti. I also was looking at the 7900xtx but I think I will be better off saving more and paying the Nvidia tax to get a 4080 as the next long term keeper card.
@Rob-4x4: Wait for the refresh at least, hopefully 20gigs of vram on the 4080ti or 4080super. You seem to hang on to gpus for a few years so might benefit from the additional vram few years from now.
3070 is a better card. everyone is buying this only because of 12gb VRAM. probably 3060 12gb is a better choice then lol
‘Everyone’ may be buying this over a 3700 because they save around $200.
on recent eBay coupons 3070 was $545. the saving here is not even 70 bucks
when I bought my 6700 earlier this year I got the last of us on promotion. imagine the irony of it struggling on 6700 which I sold on, but running fine on 3070 in 4k (DLSS quality). it's a tight fit on 8gb of VRAM, but much more playable lol
plus 3070 doesn't sound like a drill when gaming, while both 6700 and 6800 were super noisy whenever there was some upscaling turned on, which was very necessary in 4k. and it's electronic noise we're talking about, not fans.
The ‘saving’ is/was $80 without eBay plus.
I guess this deal is popular because…
For some even $80 more is a deal breaker
At the moment it is $200 more and they can’t wait for a possible future special
Fear of 8gb vram.
Hmmm this is or inno3d 12gb 3060 non ti for $40 less?
why pay more for same 12gb VRAM? 3060 12gb FTW, it's been about VRAM all along, apparently!
bundle the card with a console port it can't run, too! recipe for success lol
why so salty that you bought an overpriced poopy nvidia card.
salty? sarcastic really
not related to the card I have in any way, shape, or form. before I settled for 3070 I had 6700 and 6800, sold both of them on because they sucked
@abjsdhasehasee: Control, one of my fav games, was almost unplayable in 4k on 6800
playing fine on 3070
Mordhau another game I play daily, was struggling to get smooth frames on 6800 whatever I do. freesync monitor and all
playing smooth on 3070 4k native
Death Stranding same story. maybe 6800 was pushing a frame or two per second more in 1% lows, but sounded like broken helicopter doing that
maybe it's technically faster in some benchmarks or games I don't have, but 3070 is definitely a smoother 4k experience
calling 3070 bummy just because it doesn't have double digits VRAM doesn't make it a bad card, it isn't
lol! Apparently it's D4 causing all the fuss as well (and some crysis remaster). Even 4090 is running out of ram on D4 at 4k. A lot of people crying over 8gb have absolutely nfi, just parroting sheep. Most aren't aware there's GDDR6 & GDDR6X let alone gpu's having a memory bus/infinity cache.
So according to them all gpu's must suck and it's not the one game. Despite remastered games being overpacked with textures/triangles. All these games are horribly optimized because the new method is to use a trillion triangles per frame, so you can see the metal studs in the wood handle of a knife sitting on a table etc. Devs are tanking hardware to add negligible details (mainly because people sook for realism), not to mention they hit a wall with graphics a decade ago. Solution is to pump in stupid textures. Foilage is everywhere too and over a large viewing distance.
I was also thinking if the $420 asrock/inno3d 3060 is considered a deal then what do we call this? Seeing as a 6600xt is faster than the 3060 lol
AMD still have issues with VR titles?
I think those issues were only specific to 7000 series. But since then those issues appear to be fixed according to the patch notes (refer to the notes). Hope this helps :)

AMD still have issues in general. Like their overrated drivers. Despite the fanbois with nfi who neg such comments these drivers routinely crash in all my UE4 games. I've send AMD over 100 bug reports. They also make you fill out a 2 page report each time adrenaline crashes to avoid being overwhelmed with reports due to their constant bugs. Another problem is their stupid optimized shader cache which nvidia doesn't have. I had to edit the registry to fix that (fixed half my stutter in Hell Let Loose).
I'm so glad I didn't pay $650-$800 for my 6600xt back in 2021. For $350 I was unhappy. My GTX 970 ran most of my games with less stutter & zero shader cache issues. Low settings is better than high settings with stutter/adrenaline crashing mid game. I also didn't have to update my nvidia driver for almost 2 years. I've upgraded the last 7 AMD drivers and check the site routinely hoping the new one will be better. AMD drivers have more tweaking options, and that's a sharade on their behalf to deflect from their drivers being the modern reincarnation of Windows ME.
Funny. I bought a 6600 XT in September last year for $400 and I have had no issues whatsoever with drivers or stuttering like a lot of people have. Only time Adrenaline has crashed for me was when my PSU cable wasn't connected to my mobo properly, and it was losing power.
What UE4 games do you play? Hell Let Loose/Fortnite frequently crash for me and the stutter is horrendous. PUBG doesn't crash as often but the stutter is bad (especially when spinning around fast). Tried 2 different nvidia GPU's and the problems disappeared.
I actually had stutter in Overwatch too, but I only played it for a few hours. It could've been and was probably AMD's shader cache. Could be hardware compatibility also ie not every Daewoo breaks down.
It all depends what games you play. AMD don't seem to have these issues with csgo/dota/minecraft/2077/crysis etc. But I don't play those so couldn't tell you. UE4 and a lot of dx11 indie games choke on a Windows ME level of unacceptable. Whereas nvidia will still run those games stutter free.

@Jimmy77: I mostly play CSGO, Valorant and older games using DX9. Can't really think of any games I play that use UE4. Now I do remember that I had issues with Spider-Man Remastered, but that seemed to be the only game I had trouble with.
@mu11yy: Yeah csgo is the only game I have that doesn't stutter or have issues. Though I only get 190fps at 1440p where the GTX 970 got 140fps.. I was expecting like 350fps with the 6600xt.
@Jimmy77: I get 500 FPS (capped) at 1440p. I wouldn't recommend playing with everything set at max. Most I leave at the highest but stuff like texture quality I put to medium.
Most of this is rubbish. I have 7 AMD cards, across multiple generations, they are virtually issue free in terms of drivers.
The driver issues I have seen is stuff like power usage across multiple monitors etc. Every game I play without exception plays without issue.
While I don't doubt you have issues, it's not like it used to be.
Are you saying my experience is a hallucination? I've lost count of the comments over my lifetime like "I have 7 Hisense Daewoos and they don't have issues" or "I have 7 of those 4090's and none of the power connecters have melted, and I run them 24hrs a day"
The cards/drivers clearly have issues for some/many people. You just haven't experienced any of these issues yourself. For all we know you only play csgo. Not every Daewoo breaks down, the peoples who don't usually jump online and defend them dismissing other peoples experiences and treating their own as gospel.
Overnight updates
6950 XT in final clearance after Prime Day sales and now old XFX cards appearing at Scorptec
6800 XT is end of life
7800 16GB and 7700 12GB to be announced at Gamescom Aug 23. Like the 7600, expect minimal gains and forgettable pricing for the 7800 over the 6800 XT and 7700 over the 6750 XT
Starfield promo runs until Sep 30 so it is now very clear why AMD spent millions on the Starfield partnership trying to jazz up the mediocre RDNA 3
AMD relying on Bethesda to release a stable day 1 experience to sell more hardware is one of the epic gambles of 2023
Nice that it comes with Starfield, although FWIW this card does NOT meet the recommended requirements for the game currently on the Steam page. Unsure if they are final or will change before release, but as it stands it seems a 6800XT is recommended for this title. It does not specify what settings / resolution / framerate is targeted by the Recommended settings either.
