maddthomas Posted December 29, 2022 Posted December 29, 2022 I just bought a RX 6950 to replace my 3080 non TI. Am I making a mistake? Just to give some context,I fly in VR, I needed a GPU during the silicon shortage, had to buy a complete system from an integrator called Lyte Gaming PC(Stay away from them, they are just as shady as Newegg). After BS'ing for months and trying to get me to pay $1k more for a 3080Ti, at the same time I was polite and understanding and in no way demanding, they sent a white Gigabyte RTX 3080 10 Gig in a black PC, AND sent the wrong type size quantity and speed memory, not once but twice, nor did they send any of the upgrades they promised. I have hated it since I got it, a F'ing white GPU in a all black PC, I can finally afford to replace it but GPU prices have spiked again, I would rather have a 4090, 4080 or 3090Ti, I am terrified of used GPU's of getting screwed by buying a bricked GPU or one from a F'ing miner. If this 6950 is equal too or a little better than my 3080, I'll be happy with it, but I don't know, can someone help me with this. Thanks. PS. I tore that <profanity>ty Lyte PC apart and used the CPU, memory and GPU to build my PC. My current specs are Ryzen 7 3800X, 64 Gig of DDR-3600, X570, 3080 and a 750 watt ps( got a new 850watt on the way), whether I keep or return the 6950 I will be replacing the CPU with a Ryzen 7/9 5000, I'm leaning toward the Ryzen 7 5800X3D because of the cache size, could use so advice on that too. Thanks.
