Right now we have got a deal on the RX 6800 non-XT, with an MSI mannequin going for slightly below $400 at Newegg. That is a $70 discount from its regular worth and $20 cheaper than the most affordable RX 6800 mannequin on Amazon. That is an superior deal for a robust 1440p graphics card that comes with a replica of Starfield Premium Version (which incorporates the Shattered House story enlargement, a digital artwork e-book, the sport’s OST and some weapon/go well with skins on high of the bottom sport).
The RX 6800, as you will be happy to know by checking the RX 6800 overview right here on RPS, is likely one of the finest worth 1440p graphics playing cards round, delivering in extra of 60fps in AAA video games – it even closely outperforms the RTX 3080 in Starfield, which is considerably unimaginable. It is also a advantageous performer for prime refresh fee 1080p gaming, and stretches to 4K with some settings sacrifices because of its wholesome 16GB allocation VRAM – a top quality that additionally makes this card best for content material creation, eg 4K/8K video manufacturing.
This MSI Gaming Z Trio mannequin is likely one of the best-made RX 6800 GPUs, with a hefty triple-fan design and three eight-pin energy inputs to offer choices for overclocking, undervolting and usually higher efficiency than a smaller two-fan mannequin.

Nonetheless, to your additional $100+ you do get improved efficiency – round 20 p.c if my back-of-the-envelope maths are appropriate – and entry to AMD’s upcoming Fluid Movement Frames tech, which is a Ryzen 7000 unique. Given the worth differential although, the RX 6800 stays a really strong choice and effectively value contemplating at this deal worth.
