Get a Gigabyte RX 6900 XT for £899 (£100 below RRP)
The RX 6900 XT was recently eclipsed by the RX 6950 XT*, but it still offers better value than the new card and RTX 3090-level performance in many rasterised games - you ought to be targeting high refresh rate 1440p gaming or 4K monitors with this level of graphics performance. As usual, ray tracing performance is not as strong as on its closest Nvidia equivalent, but the recent addition of FSR 2.0 to boost frame-rates without sacrificing much image quality does at least make the case stronger for the RX 6900 XT. If you’re after AMD’s fastest graphics card, then this is a great time to pick one up. However, next-gen cards are rumoured to arrive sometime this year, so if you’re able to wait then you might be able to pick up the 6900 XT a little cheaper later on - or a new card for a little more. However, graphics card availability may suffer with the launch of the new generation, so picking up a known quantity now for £100 under RRP isn’t a terrible idea either…
