3080(Non-TI) vs 7800XT
So I've put myself in a predicament and can't make a decision, so I'd like to ask you, the 100% trustworthy people of the internet.
I'm currently sitting on a 6700XT and looking for a worthwhile/mid-tier upgrade. My current considerations are, you guessed it, a used 3080 10G for about $400~ or a new 7800XT for $500.
I've never owned a Nvidia card, but I've heard/seen plenty of things over the years about the user experience typically just being better. I've never really encountered issues with my 6700xt personally though. Mostly just want to hear opinions. This is a primarily gaming use case at 2k res. I'm currently leaning toward the 7800xt. For $100 more I get a new vs. used card, 6 extra gigs of Vram (which seems like a good thing to have normally gaming at 2k natively), and from performance tests, generally higher frames across the board.
Something else to note, I prefer to play in native resolution. I've never liked the way upscaling looks (both DLSS and FSR) so take that into account in the discussion! What do you all think? Is the 7800xt the better candidate?
