Which one is the best? (3080 Ti, 7800 XT, 9060 XT)
Posted by Liliguard2@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 149 comments
I'd like to upgrade my PC's graphics card to improve performance in AAA titles like Elden Ring or Shadow of the Colossus: Expedition 33. I'm torn between three models, which all seem to be in the same price range, but I'm not sure which one would be the best: 3080 Ti (some have 12GB, others 10GB) 7800XT (16GB) 9060XT (16GB)
Which one should I get? Ou
Euphoric-Site-6503@reddit
DLSS 4 Transformer and more raw and rt performance makes the 3080 TI a very good choice over the 9060xt.
I have the normal 10gb 3080 and I can still run all games at 1440p high without issues. the 3080 ti only has a 12gb version.
If you care about AV1 encoder, more VRAM and farther driver support then buy the 9060 xt.
the 7800 xt is not worth it whatsoever, all cons no pros compared to the other to gpus.
dimetyltryptaminn@reddit
9060 xt vs 7800 xt 1440p
The RX 7800 XT is superior for raw 1440p rasterization performance (15-20% faster), while the RX 9060 XT offers better power efficiency and superior Ray Tracing. The 7800 XT generally offers better value for 1440p, but the 9060 XT is a competitive, newer alternative if it is cheaper and you prioritize updated architecture/power.
Performance at 1440p Rasterization: The RX 7800 XT remains a 1440p champion, with some reports noting it is up to 20% faster than the RX 9060 XT in raw, non-upscaled gaming. Ray Tracing: The 9060 XT often performs better or on par with the 7800 XT, making it a better option if you play titles heavily utilizing ray tracing. Futureproofing: The 9060 XT supports advanced technologies, including improved FSR 4.0, which could close the performance gap in future games. Power/Thermals: The 9060 XT is generally more efficient, demanding less of a high-end power supply and generating less heat compared to the high-performance 7800 XT.
Euphoric-Site-6503@reddit
One word : FSR 4. One other word : DLSS 4.
Today is the age of upscalers and AI features so seeing that the RX 7800 XT is 1- older 2- has a terrible upscaler 3- draws much more power 4- doesn't sell for that much cheaper than the rx 9060 xt or the 3080 ti it's fair to say that it has no competition against these two.
You have been just typing comments defending this gpu like it's your son lol. You can like it and it can be your choice but it's definitely not a choice for everyone.
Also I am 90% sure this reply was written by AI.
dimetyltryptaminn@reddit
Yes i googled 7800XT vs 9060XT 16GB 1440p. Idk, 3080ti is without warranty, if 7800XT comes with 2-3 year warranty id pick it. I'm not fanboy of either company, if it was 7800XT / Rtx 5070 / Rx 9060 xt 16gb id say get Rtx 5070
Euphoric-Site-6503@reddit
I think if you even consider a used GPU then you don't really care about warranty and OP considered. Also you don't know how shit FSR 3 compared to DLSS 4 or even FSR 4. The difference is night and day. For me, upscaler alone is more worth it. And DLSS is straight up magic at this point. The 3080 ti is a winner for best features and upscaler and raster. But if you care about the warranty then the rx 9060 xt is also great. The rx 7800 xt just lacks too much to recommend. Nowadays, raster alone doesn't save a gpu unless the price is REALLY good.
StunningPush8421@reddit
3080 ti is the fastest in raster, rt and has the best upscaler
dimetyltryptaminn@reddit
Pretty equal to 7800XT in raster, 7800XT is newer and has 16gb vram. Best choice
Confident_Seaweed609@reddit
3080ti is better
StunningPush8421@reddit
3080 ti is a bit faster nowdays
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-7800-xt.c3839
the 7800 xt has not aged well especially with some newer titles having forced RT.
Speaking of RT the 3080 ti crushes the 7800 xt there.
Not to mention a far better feature set with DLSS 4(even 4.5 technically), Ray reconstruction, reflex rtx hdr ect.
At the same price the 3080 ti is a no brainer.
especially elden ring where the base 3080 beats out the 7900 gre

dimetyltryptaminn@reddit
No brainer? Less vram and older card. Nah id get 7800XT
Framed-Photo@reddit
Giving up vastly supperior upscaling support, RT performance, and literal raw performance for 4gb of vram on a platform AMD tried to stop supporting once already is definitely a choice.
dimetyltryptaminn@reddit
Mate, not all care about RT or upscaler. Many ppl game on native, like me.
Framed-Photo@reddit
You are genuinely wasting your time and money if you're playing at native, sorry to tell you.
RT sure you don't need to play with if you have the option to turn it off, but you're not always going to have the option to do that.
IndependenceTiny2931@reddit
I will go for RX 7800 XT and play native without FSR and Framgen
Confident_Seaweed609@reddit
Hopefully you don't plan on playing above 1080p
MrShItAsIaN@reddit
the 3080ti is better bruh amd fanboy
dimetyltryptaminn@reddit
Ur nvidia fanboy. Let this guy buy what he wants. Id also pick new rx 7800 xt over used 3080ti if they were same price
IndependenceTiny2931@reddit
If you can get a decent used unit, the problem it is not easy to distinguish between a used one that has been used for mining, so i don't want to gamble like that
coolboy856@reddit
Whether or not a card has been 'used for mining' is irrelevant.
In fact, evidence suggests that varying loads on hardware will degrade them at a much quicker scale than consistent, stable loads such as mining :)
f1rstx@reddit
why? both FSR4 and DLSS4/4.5 are looking better than Native and has more performance
IndependenceTiny2931@reddit
i play on 1080p so native is enough for me, unless i go for 4k
coolboy856@reddit
Well, you would get better image quality and significantly more performance with upscaling
f1rstx@reddit
FSR4AA, DLAA will offer far superior IQ at 1080p compared to blurry TAA mess
IndependenceTiny2931@reddit
Well this is new information to me, because i always asume FSR is just about playing 4k or 1440p without getting a performance hit.
raydialseeker@reddit
That would be incorrect. Current DLSS models and FSR 4 are better than native. Especially with 75%+ render resolution
VioletSkipper@reddit
Yes especially in modern games like Crimson desert, Stalker 2, wukong etc
dimetyltryptaminn@reddit
Yes, and 30ms frame time
Expert_Conflict6374@reddit
Native in UE5 Lumen game like E33 lmao you play at 40FPS
Confident_Seaweed609@reddit
Id go with 3080ti honestly, yeah the vram isn't 16gb but it's equal or better than the 7800xt ,can run ray tracing and dlss looks better and is more widely supported https://www.techspot.com/review/2734-amd-radeon-7800-xt/ Here's a comparison and the 9060xt is about 20-30 slower. Now realistic advice, be on the lookout saw a 9070xt for sub 600 new, if you can get that or buy used cheap it would be great. If not the 3080ti is the best choice from the above
scottohc@reddit
I wouldn’t go with the 7800XT because AMD didn’t make FSR4 backwards compatible. The 3080 does have dlss 4 but no frame gen. I would go with the 9060XT as you get FSR4 and frame gen or the 3080 if you prefer dlss to updcale.
Confident_Seaweed609@reddit
Bro said "get the card that's 35 percent worse performance" like losless scaling is 7 bucks chief
dimetyltryptaminn@reddit
Bad advice!! How do u know fsr 4 aint coming to rx 7000 series? 😭 Rx 7800 xt beats 9060xt 16gb by 25-30% +
Expert_Conflict6374@reddit
You are giving advice based on copium and hopium.
You are the one giving bad advice
dimetyltryptaminn@reddit
Idk depends on OP's need. Id pick 7800XT but thats just me
MajorLuscasa666@reddit
7000 series and older cards don't have the necessary technology for full FSR4 support. But yeah I would still pick the 7800xt especially if their price is similar.
dimetyltryptaminn@reddit
Yh true
wsteelerfan7@reddit
9060XT is significantly worse than both of those and FG doesn't make up for missing actual frames. 7800XT vs 3080 Ti is close and if personally go with the 3080 Ti because DLSS is better and FG adds latency. On launch, Techpowerup's test suite had the 9060 XT average 69 FPS at 1440p. The 7800 XT averaged 93 and the 3080 Ti that wasn't listed likely would've come in at like 96 (3080 regular was at 92). The 9060 XT would need to run FSR at like balanced or mode to match the speed of the other cards at native.
riden44@reddit
Get 9060xt, it's newer and better for modern games. 3080 ti can be only 12gb, 10gb is a regular 3080.
raydialseeker@reddit
I strongly disagree. It's way slower
Ill_Difference_4039@reddit
what are you talking about, the 3080ti is 25-30% faster than the 9060 xt, this is factual information, there is no "i disagree" it's not a debate lmao
raydialseeker@reddit
I disagree that the 9060xt is a better choice.
Ill_Difference_4039@reddit
clearly i can't read
raydialseeker@reddit
No worries. I should have specified that I was referring to the 9060xt being slower instead of "it's"
riden44@reddit
Stronger, yes. I think about reliability. It's old, powerhungry, and no one tells you if it was a mining card or not. If you are an enthusiast who can easily tinker about with undervolting and disassemble the card to change paste and pads then why not. In my experience most people simply want to put the card in their pc, install drivers and forget about it which is not the case with 3080ti in 2026.
Framed-Photo@reddit
Brother the 3080ti is fucking 30% faster than the 9060xt 16gb on average, with supperior support for features and third party software. 4gb of vram ain't making up for a gap that huge.
It's also 10% faster than the 7800xt and absolutely embarasses that card for features.
The only universe where the 9060xt is a better pick is if it's half the price, OP has a 500w power supply, or both.
riden44@reddit
I couldn't agree more that it's a faster card. And I myself actually would take it instead. But it's a 4 year old, 350w USED card which can possibly be a massive pain in the ass. Warranty has expired and you have to 100% change all thermal interface since it has already dried up. No one will tel you, but it could be a mining card if not lhr. Also you need at least a 750 - 850w decent psu. So I advise 9060xt simply because it's an easier option for a common user
felix_mateo@reddit
I have a 3080ti. I paid too much for it, but I can still run most modern games on Ultra settings with few compromises. I won’t be upgrading for a few years.
skinny_gator@reddit
Yeah, YouTubers completely overblown the VRAM problem for views, and the echo chamber of Reddit has sadly misinformed people new to PCs because of it.
Yes, you can use cards with less than 16GB VRAM. It's ok.
WingerRules@reddit
I've only found 2 games that max out Vram at max settings and when using DLAA on my 5080 at 1440p. With DLSS you actually use less than with DLAA too. I havent tried Cyberpunk though.
Interesting the latest games I'm trying, Resident Evil Requiem and Crimson Desert use less vram at max settings. Crimson Desert would even run on an 8gb GPU at max settings with DLSS.
mattmaster68@reddit
Hi, I use a 3070ti in 2026 and it’s literally never caused me issues. AMA.
skinny_gator@reddit
Your system is ancient tech /s
bitronic1@reddit
Plus DLSS, end of discussion.
quietlydesperate90@reddit
Or if power is expensive, or if they would rather not have a mini space heater in their room.
Framed-Photo@reddit
If that's a consideration for them then that's fine, but they didn't mention that, and besides those factors and the vram the 3080ti is objectively the best card of these 3.
quietlydesperate90@reddit
Well it's easy to say something is the best if you ignore the negative factors.
Framed-Photo@reddit
I don't know how you think buying things works, but yes generally you have to determine what things you do and don't care about and then make a purchasing decision lol.
OP wants a card that performs and made no mention of heat or power costs, so getting the card that performs 30% faster but runs hotter is probably the better choice for them.
quietlydesperate90@reddit
What a fucking condescending reply.
IANVS@reddit
I'm playing in 4K @60Hz with 3080 just fine. I don't understand the VRAM hysteria.
If anything, 3080's flaw is being power hungry and prone to spikes but as long as your PSU is anything decent, you're fine and undervolt helps (using a Fractal 760W PSU)...
wsteelerfan7@reddit
There are a few games where 10GB hinders you from using settings it can otherwise run and 8GB being an issue, but the 12GB 3080 Ti should have none of these issues
MahatmaAbbA@reddit
The bandwidth for the 9060xt was a crazy decision. It’s a pretty big hindrance.
scottohc@reddit
They had a 12 GB 3080 non TI version. I had an EVGA 3080 12 GB version. I just checked my best buy history
dimetyltryptaminn@reddit
9060XT is newest. Same performance as rtx 5060 ti 16gb. 3080ti is oldest, but has better raw performance than 9060XT.
Rx 7800 xt has best raw performance and 16gb vram. It's best choice even if its 50-80$ more id pick it
coolboy856@reddit
You're delusional, incorrect, and need to stop participating in public discussions
dimetyltryptaminn@reddit
How so? Rx 7800 xt doesn't have best raw performance, but its newer and has more vram + warranty vs 3080ti
coolboy856@reddit
Relevance?
How many titles, how many players, what percentage of product's lifespan is impacted? 0.03%? Sounds pretty likely. In practice 0% due to texture budgets *not* actually having to be maxed out in titles where this could in theory play a role.
Please look at hardware DoA statistics, consumer protection laws in western countries, marketplaces where such deals take place and their reputation-based systems and come back to me! :-)
dimetyltryptaminn@reddit
If you buy 3080ti, which is propably bought in 2022-2023, it's warranty has already run out. Vs buy new 7800XT and you can get 2-3 year warranty but okay.
If you don't use upscaling and play native 1440p i think 12gb memory will soon start to be too little, allthough i used rx 6700 xt 12gb on 1440p untill recnetly and it run fine.
coolboy856@reddit
Okay, you think wrong. Go look at 5060 benchmarks, 1440p games run perfectly fine the vast majority of times! :) Add 4gb extra and there are just about 2 titles in existence which you can max out the textures on for absolutely no reason to get VRAM-exhausted.
You might also use an advanced form of thinking given current changes in the hardware space as DRAM prices and availability are causing significant delays in next-gen hardware, and considering how DRAM is used for onboard video memory for graphics cards, it's quite unlikely that games within the next few years will suddenly start demanding gigabytes more of it.
You have 0 need for warranty. It does not benefit you in any way but you can make shitty decisions for yourself, just don't push them on others.
dimetyltryptaminn@reddit
0 need for warranty? 😂😂😂 What if you buy 3080TI and it breaks down in 2 months? Now THAT is a delusional statement. Idk how warranty works there, but if i buy a new gpu, and it breaks during the warranty i'll send it back for free to get fixed, or get replacement.
coolboy856@reddit
Simple, it doesn't. I already told you to look into statistics on hardware breaking.
When we're talking about such massively different value propositions between these cards, warranty is irrelevant.
dimetyltryptaminn@reddit
Well, i recently bought used rx 6900 xt and it worked fine but after 3-4 weeks one fan stop spinning. That may happen for example. And most ppl don't know how to change fans, or are scared they will break the card. I was lucky fan swap was easy on Asus tuf model
coolboy856@reddit
So, the card didn't break. Not one of the dozen or so, 60-500€ used cards I've bought have broken either.
It's a bathtub curve.
dimetyltryptaminn@reddit
Didn't break. But temps got very high and had few crashes but now works since i swapped all 3-fans
junu-munu00@reddit
the 9060 xt is the absolute best choice out of those three. hierarchy benchmarks show it easily outperforms the older cards while running much cooler and more efficiently. the 3080 ti pulls way too much power and its 12gb vram limit will definitely cause stuttering in modern heavy titles. the 7800 xt is decent but the 9060 xt gives you next generation architecture and better features. grab the 9060 xt since its 16gb of vram will easily handle elden ring and expedition 33 without any issues.
Normal-Item-402@reddit
That 3080ti gets hot hot. Make sure you're okay with that before committing.
cream_of_human@reddit
If between those, the 3080ti tho id say look for a modern nVidia gpu like the 4000 or 5000 series at least since the 3080 ti is quite old
unimportantinfodump@reddit
9060xt will be the only card that's getting modern updates for modern games.
Could be wrong though Nvidia might be supporting the 30 series still
liaminwales@reddit
Keep in mind your PSU,
3080 TI is 350W base & OC editions can use more power,

InformalEngine4972@reddit
No 3080ti is.
No point in getting any amd card below 9070 or 9070xt because they all suck at ray tracing and no ray tracing is the equivalent of playing at low settings.

Nice trolling. 80% dont give a rats ass about RT :)

Yeah it’s only this generations defining feature.
Raster is dead bro. We have gotten a 30% uplift in raster performance over the past 6 years.

Better features? Older card, yh it has DLSS but amd has FSR 3.1 and propably soon FSR 4.
f1rstx@reddit
FSR3.1 is a joke, RX7000 will never have FSR4 and 3rd party software like Optiscaler isn't viable solution, sorry not sorry
StunningPush8421@reddit
no the 7800 xt has just not aged very well.
On launch it used to be faster than the 4070 but as games have started changing and using built in RT ect it simply has fallen behind
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-7800-xt.c3839
As you can see with TPUs updated list the 7800 xt is now behind the 4070 and 3080 ti in raster wheras on launch it used to be faster

dimetyltryptaminn@reddit
That picture hasn't got 3080ti in the graph, also it doesn't tell anything. How many games tested? It tells nothing
f1rstx@reddit
it has 6900XT being equal to 3080 10gb, it has 7800XT being slower than 3080 10g and 3080Ti is noticeablty faster than 3080.
dimetyltryptaminn@reddit
Then that is bullshit. Ive seen many comparisons 3090 vs 6900XT. On 1080p 6900XT is 14% faster than 3090, on 1440p they are pretty equal, on 4K 3090 is 14% faster than 6900XT. So thats bullshit list
wsteelerfan7@reddit
It really depends on the game. Also, the 1080p result is because that era of Nvidia had driver overhead that pushed some load onto the CPU so it 'loses' when GPUs are CPU-limited. The 6900 XT was about the same performance as the 3080 plus a few percent, which is also what Nvidia did on their side until the 3090 Ti. That's why the 3080 12GB, 3080 Ti and 3090 are usually absent from benchmark lists because they're all just OC'd 3080s with different memory configurations.
dimetyltryptaminn@reddit
At 1440p, the RX 6900 XT generally offers higher raw rasterization performance and better longevity due to its 16GB VRAM, while the RTX 3080 excels in ray tracing and offers superior DLSS upscaling technology. Both are excellent 1440p cards, with the 6900 XT often approaching 3090-level, but the 3080 holds an edge in feature sets.
Stop bosting those shit lists. That list is completely wrong lmao 😂 you are misinforming here not me.
f1rstx@reddit
it doesnt
dimetyltryptaminn@reddit
Lets see ur 3dmark timespy score for example, i got 21 700pts w 6900XT. (Ik 3dmark doesn't translate to gaming performance.)
Rx 6900 xt was made to trade blows w 3090. Why would it be slower than rtx 3080? Use ur head

According to techpowerup, 3080ti is 31% faster on average across their test suite than the 9060XT 16GB.
It also puts it around 13% faster than the 7800XT, and 11% faster than the 6900XT.

Isn't it still AMD CPU + nVidia GPU that's supposed to be the best for gaming?

These comments are crazy, the 3080ti is 30% faster on average than the 9060xt, with better features and support. There's no universe where OP should get the 9060xt if they can run a 3080ti.
7800xt is also slower by about 10%, with even worse features.
The VRAM fear mongering is out of control in the tech community lol, 4gb of vram isn't worth giving up 30% performance and better software features, it's just not.

7800XT still best choice
Framed-Photo@reddit
You lose access to any good upscaler, you lose 10% performance in raster, FAR more in RT, with worse support for third party software, on a platform that AMD has already tried to stop supporting once, to get an extra 4gb of vram?
I stand by my point, clearly the vram fear mongering is way out of control if you think the 7800xt is the best choice lol.

You get warranty vs used 3080ti. Everyone doesnt use RT or DLSS. 12gb prolly is enough atm, but how about 3-4 yrs?
Framed-Photo@reddit
Playing at native is a waste of time, there's no reason to do that with how good modern upscaling is. And RT is not really a choice in a fair few modern games, and that will only continue to be the case.
Vram problems you can fix by turning down your texture slider a notch, but you can't fix your card being 30% slower or lacking any modern features as easily as that.

DLSS and FSR increase frame time by 200%
Framed-Photo@reddit
DLSS measurably decreases overall latency by a substansial amount because of how much it can increase performance, as seen here..
With newer versions, DLSS can not only do that, but it also is often getting image quality that's better than native, as seen in the blind testing from computer base here.
Over 1000 people took the blind test, watching side by side uncompressed footage of FSR 4, native, and DLSS 4.5, and DLSS won in 7 of 8 by a large amount, and won but was very close to native in Cyberpunk. You can actually still view these test clips yourself and see if you can tell. Even going in blind myself it was immediately obvious in clips like horizon or last of us which clip was DLSS and which wasn't.
So you get better image quality, with lower latency, all for the price of turning on DLSS in the settings menu. Even FSR 4 here by the way, is still very competitive with native while also giving the same latency benefits.
So again, you are wasting your time and money by running native. It is not worth doing anymore.

My bad i mistook FSR and DLSS for frame gen.
Framed-Photo@reddit
OH I mean yeah framegen is hit or miss. There are times when it's fine to turn on imo but not always.
dimetyltryptaminn@reddit
Nah, not wasting on older cards. On my 6900XT or 7800XT without fsr 4 ofc use native
arcusford@reddit
If you can get it for a reasonable 7800xt is the best performing and is still new enough.
seanc6441@reddit
It's not? 3080ti is the best performing in most scenarios.
seanc6441@reddit
3080ti if it's well kept. It's performance is still great.
Intelligent_Owl6582@reddit
what's your budget?
InternalCustard6931@reddit
I’m using rx7800xt for 4K and its works like a charm, no regrets for not getting 90XX gen.
dimetyltryptaminn@reddit
7800XT
Sleddoggamer@reddit
The 3080 ti will have the most raw power and if you need Ray tracing i think it wins, but compared to the 9060xt its going to run searing hot and potentially be a breaker tripper.
The 7800 xt will be a close second and be less of a power hog and hear monster, but if you need Ray tracing it may be lacking
I think the 9060xt will make you happy if you want tracing and its going to run cool saving you a meaningful amount of electricity over time as its much newer, but its the weakest of the three being a lower tier card. If there all the same price its up to your priorities
LatherNRinse@reddit
If they're all the same price, I'd go the 7800xt or 3080ti. The 9060xt is newer and the frame gen is better but it's a lower tier card than the other two. 1440p and higher you'll def notice it. The only reason to choose the 9060xt is if you care about Ray tracing or your power supply can't handle the other two

Find a benchmarking video where they test using your specs or something equivalent for performance analysis and then compare that to cost and your budget then pick the best option for YOU
Individual experiences WILL vary but YouTube will give you an objective measurement with real time metrics to substantiate claims
No_Spare1827@reddit
tough to say without prices I'm tempted to say 3080TI but the 9060XT gets pretty close while using nearly half the power
Vojaaaaa@reddit
Depends on the prices.
sunkenwhalebones@reddit
Can't make a recommendation without knowing the prices. They are all good, if you find a good deal, they are all great cards.
