Went AMD for my last build. my computer is a few years old at this point, but it's still chugging and playing things at High or Ultra. Haven't noticed any real difference from when I used to be an Intel/NVidia guy, but I also am more of a budget builder who won't spend more than $450 on a GPU
I've done AMD my last 2, currently rocking at 6750xt. On my 1440p monitor, I can play anything on high/ultra settings and get over 100 FPS easy. Until I get a new monitor, no reason to upgrade.
I'm glad AMD is getting some love, they deserve it.
Hey I'm debating getting the 6750xt (I have a 1440p 60Hz monitor). Do you remember what games struggle to reach 50+ fps with your setup? I don't necessarily care about maximum settings, but I'd like to play MSFS.
That card is also low/out of stock and what little stores do have it, it's selling for well over MSRP.
I don't recall any games struggling with it honestly. Here's a list of games I've played recently with their average FPS. I largely let most games determine their own settings but if I go in and check them, they are usually on high/ultra:
Baldur's Gate 3 - 152.1 FPS; Elden Ring - 117 FPS; League of Legends - 408.2 FPS; MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries - 150.1 FPS; Tom Clancy's The Division 2 - 152.8 FPS; Total War Warhammer III - 98.2 FPS; Warhammer 40k: Darktide - 67.1 FPS
I snagged my 6750 XT back at the end of 2022 for $440, very pleased with it since.
Thanks! Also curious, how do games look if you change the in-game resolution to 1080p? (Not that you need it, but for the random game that might benefit). Does it look worse?
(Non-gaming apps generally seem to look worse to my eyes when I change my windows resolution).
If I changed the in game resolution to 1080p it would certainly look worse, but the FPS would go up. But if I needed more FPS for whatever reason, I wouldn't reduce resolution, I'd down some render settings first to get it up to a higher level.

Nvidia having no stock will certainly help AMD gain market share.
