The end of this article says its basically a 6800xt though.
Tomshardware's GPU Hierarchy has the 6900xt being around 3.2% better in gaming performance (FPS) with 1080P Ultra. 5% in 1440p Ultra. Raise the power limit on the 6800xt and overclock and it is basically a 6900xt.
That was also why 6800xt was the best price/performance and the most popular card of the 6000 series.
There are 6900xt with xtx and xtxh die with the latter being in another class of its own. The xtxh 6900xt offer the same level of performance as the 6950xt and those are the only 6900xt that were worth getting over a 6800xt.
Really love my 6800xt. It is a great card and affordable even back when I bought it.
It really is. It does everything just as well as an 6900xt at a lower price point.
So is this worth it for an upgrade to a 2080 super? Or should I find a used 6900xtx? Or wait for the 8000 series and grab a 7900xtx used when they drop?
Yes it is worth it if you want to upgrade now.
Even if you somehow find an used 6900xt that is cheaper you are giving up better rt performance, new features, longer driver support, warranty so imo i don't think that is worth over getting a brand new 7800xt at its current price point.
Waiting is also an option. But it is hard to tell with AMD not competing for the high-end market with their 8000 series. Owners of 7900xtx may just opt to wait till 9000 series to upgrade.
