    Yeah; I’ve a 6700XT, and it appears to be a pretty even match for a 7600XT, looking at Phoronix’ graphs. Makes a pretty good job of 60 Hz / 1440p on recent games, maybe turn down a setting or two, and can usually do 144Hz / 1440p on games that are a few years old. If you can get one of those for substantially cheaper than one of these, I’d say go for it.

      That’s a great point of reference for me. I want to upgrade from my 2080 to an AMD card for my gaming rig and I’m torn between saving up for X months and splurging on a 7800xt, or looking for a hot deal. Looking at benchmarks it would take a really good deal on either the 7600xt or 6700xt to drop that far down the line, given the effort of selling my current card. When I can get significantly better improvements for a 1-200 dollar difference if I just wait, it just doesn’t feel worthwhile.
