I'm looking to upgrade my 1080 Ti since it's starting to lag behind, especially with COD games and modded Minecraft. My current setup includes an i7 9700K, a Gigabyte Z390 AORUS PRO, 32GB of Corsair Vengeance LPX 3600 RAM, a WD BLACK SN770 1TB for the OS, and a Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB for gaming. I'm using two 1080p monitors at 144Hz. I have a budget of around £250 and am considering second-hand options. The contenders I have in mind are the RTX 3070 Ti, RX 6700 XT, RX 6750 XT, and RX 6800. What would be the best card for my needs? Thanks!

Out of those options, I would personally go for the RX 6800. It offers excellent performance, and you'll see a significant upgrade from your 1080 Ti.
I recommend sticking with Nvidia if you have the chance. You can explore tools like lossless scaling for improved visuals if you're into that, but it might add input lag, which is a downside.
If you can manage to find an RX 6800 XT or a 7700 XT within that budget, they’re great options too. Just be cautious with older models as their long-term support might be an issue. Still, the 7700 XT is pretty solid if you can snag a good deal.
Looking again, I can't afford the 7700 XT; I think it was a listing that misled me. The RX 6800 is what I can go for.
Honestly, the RX 6800 is your best bet among the cards you've listed. It balances performance and price well, especially for gaming.
Are there any better models I might’ve missed that are around the same price?
I won't be doing that since input lag is a dealbreaker for me.
