We've spotted a 16GB RX 6800 for $380, which makes it cheaper than your average 8GB RTX 4060 Ti

This graphic card was launched over three years ago but it's still very potent. It has bags of VRAM on a wide memory bus, backed up with mountains of cache. Makes the RTX 4060 Ti and RX 7700 XT look miserly in comparison.

Thinking back on 2020 now is a bit of a weird experience, like looking back on a time that never was.

The memory is also helped along by what AMD dubs Infinity Cache, and extra helping of memory that keeps things quick.

Speaking of the RTX 4060 Ti, the RX 6800 is quite a bit faster in general gaming benchmarks, and while prices for the Nvidia card remain around the $400 mark in general, the cheapest I've been able to find is this Galax RTX 4060 Ti for $370.

While there are some good reasons to still pick the little Nvidia GPU, chief amongst them being the ability to make use of DLSS 3 and its Frame Generation features, the AMD card has some specs and features that are difficult to ignore. Thanks to that wide memory bus, 60
