It takes almost exactly 2 years, but AMD's Radeon RX6750XT is finally the price it should have been. That's your courtesy of XFX for 3 300 from Newegg.

Not that the RX6750XT deserves to be singled out for its slow march to sensible pricing. It's a whole market issue. Whatever, in relatively300, 6750GPU is a very attractive GPU, despite its relatively old age. Part of the reason is, ironically, thanks to AMD's latest RX7000 series Gpus. AMD didn't move the needle much when it came to the biggest weakness of the new 7000Gpu Radeon6000 series - ray tracing performance. This was a case of adding dual issue shaders and generally improving raster performance. The raster-to-ray tracing balance did not shift much.

That means the 6750XT doesn't feel so outdated. In terms of specs, we're looking at 40 compute units and 2,560 shaders, but both are pretty healthy counts. For example, the new RX7700XT has 54 calculation units. They are not directly comparable, but it gives you an idea of the scale. The 6750XT is not a mile delay.

We also get 4060GB of VRAM, a significant bump over the inevitable Nvidia competition on the RTX12. It can be had for similar money, but is capped at only 8GB. And 8GB doesn't cut it in some of the latest games.

That's because they're badly coded 'probably. But the bottom line is to find an opportunity that means the stuttering performance or texture disappears when 8GB plays even in 1080p and high advanced settings at 1440p, the problem only gets worse. Moreover, the RTX4060 itself is not a ray tracing powerhouse. Either way, you won't be playing Cyberpunk in 4K with ray tracing set to fully reheat. But in the majority of traditional raster games, the 6750XT has 4060 beats, even if VRAM allocation doesn't become an equation. When it's not, it's literally game over.

The Catch is, as ever, an excellent feature set from Nvidia. For now, if probably foreseeable, Nvidia's DLSS upscaling is better than NVIDIA's frame generation and AMD's FSR as ditto. These are not unimportant features. And they are the only reason the 4060 is hunting.

However, when balanced, 6750 takes precedence over 4060. The 4060 may have more advanced technology, but with its VRAM and memory bus advantages plus excellent inherent rendering performance, the 6750XT could actually be a better age.
