Is a RX 6700 XT 12GB overkill for 1080p? If yes, what should I get instead? (vlemmy.net)

Get the RX 6700 XT and get a 1440p monitor. 1440p at High settings looks way better than 1080p at Ultra settings. I have the 6750 XT and play in 1440p and I'm so glad I chose that over 1080p.

Unfortunately here in Brazil 1440p monitors are few and far between. When I searched for quality 1440p monitors I couldn't find a single one that sells here. Also, the 1440p monitors that are for sale are prohibitively expensive here.

Oh, I see. In that case, are you going for 1080p at 60fps or do you have a monitor with a higher framerate? If you are aiming for 60fps then the 6700XT is probably overkill.

My monitor is 144hz.

I saw your other reply in this thread. I personally would go for the new 6650 XT. I don't like buying used parts as I feel I'm buying a part with a reduced lifespan, and I feel the 6650 XT is plenty for 1080p.

Thanks, I guess I'm gonna go for the 6650 XT then!
