I'm trying to decide between the RX 6700 XT and the RX 6800, especially considering there's an 80 euro price difference. I'm currently running an R5 3600 with a 1070 Ti and have 32GB of RAM, gaming at 1080p on a 144Hz monitor. I'm planning to upgrade to an R7 5700X and need to know if the RX 6800 is worth the extra cash. My main games are Rust, CS2, Apex Legends, and Warzone. Any advice?

Considering the 80 euro price gap, the RX 6800 makes more sense. It comes with 16GB of VRAM and is about 15-20% faster overall, which can be a big boost for your gaming experience.
The RX 6700 XT is a solid option for your setup. It's excellent for the games you mentioned, and sticking with the 6700 XT leaves room in your budget for future upgrades, like more RAM.
I'd recommend going for the RX 6700 XT. Given the price difference, the RX 6800 just doesn’t seem worth it unless you’re aiming for the 6800 XT, which has a big performance boost. Stick with the 6700 XT for now!
Both GPUs will handle your games just fine. However, if you can save a bit longer, it might be worth looking into the RX 9000 series cards. They're going to give you a longer lifespan for demanding games down the line.
I'm seeing the RX 9060 XT with 16GB going for around 360 euros. I was thinking of trading in my 1070 Ti and adding some cash to get either the 6800 or 6700 XT.
If you're thinking of upgrading your CPU soon, then the RX 6800 could be a better fit in terms of future-proofing your build.
You can actually overclock the 6800 to get close to the 6800 XT performance, so if you’re comfortable with that, it might be worth considering.
