What are your thoughts on this? 🤔😅 Please refrain from calling me a fanboy. 😂 I've used both AMD and NVIDIA in numerous systems so far and will continue to use both for specific systems and/or use cases. 👍😁

I skipped out on the 4000 series too. Went from a 2060 to a 7900 XT (Hellhound). Great card. Runs cool and barely a whisper from the fans most of the time. I dont care about RT.

I switched from my EVGA 10gb 3080 to a 7900xtx. The 3080 should have been sold with 16gb of vram instead of 10gb. Nvidia did this for planned obsolescence so I decided to go with a company that doesn’t knowingly screw over their customers.

I have a Sapphire Nitro Plus 7900 XTX, upgraded from a 2080 ti, couldn't of been happier. Thing is a monster.

Built my first all AMD rig this year, very happy with it. 7700x 7900 xtx. Been flawless so far.

I had no budget restraints or limits, just don't like feeling ripped off. Went with 7950x3d and 7900xtx, craziest gaming I've ever had. Natural 4k high/max settings 120fps no problem. Paired it with a brand new LG C3... true next gen gaming. Also running any game I emulate from PS3/xbox360 gen and below at 60fps at 4k

I agree XTX makes more sense at less the half price of the 4090. Where the most you get from the 4090 is around 15% performance increase and some games there is little to no difference.

Tip: Nvidia cards cause a CPU bottleneck before AMD cards. AMD cards use a Hardware Scheduler, while Nvidia uses a Software Scheduler, which means more load on the CPU.

This particular model of the XTX is super awesome, have had 0 problems with it, the software is incredibly easy to use and navigate and the drivers have been nothing but incredible, making the card even better each time.

i Jumped from 2080 Super to 7900XTX Asus TUF and ohh boy i am so happy

I have been buying nvdia cards since 2010, but after almost 14 year I swtiched to AMD completely Processor and video card, from 12700K + RTX 3080TI to RYZEN 7800X3D + 7900 XTX. I am very happy with this big change ! More performance, less heat and power consuption. Wonderful change, I hope AMD keeps the good work, I would like to pick up AMD again in its next generation. I bought the Shappire pulse model, even though it is a simple model, it has an excellent constrution, with cooper plate and great heat pipes, the temperatures is much better than my old RTX 3080 TI ZOTAC, witch used to reached 84ºC even with the fans in 100%.

Went from a 1060 6g, to a 7900 XT. Been a year with the 7900 XT now. Had a few hiccups at first, but the card is great now, thing is a beast. I had Nvidia ever since the 560 Ti card. I had been watching the graphics cards for years, trying to decide which one to get. But then the cypto made everything crazy expensive. Then when it was over, Nvidia was holding back their production to keep their card prices high. The new 4000 series, was just a overclocked 3000 series, there was no innovation at all. I decided to buy my first ever high-end card with AMD. Their new cards have a chiplet design, so at least they are trying to innovate. The 7900 XTX was $400 more expensive than the 7900 XT in Australia on release. I play on 1440p, 120hz, so this new card is perfect for me. I prefer high FPS than raytracing. I have raytracing turned on in my cyberpunk playthrough atm, it does look good, but it isn't needed. Nvidia have screwed over their fans for years, price gouging, lack of innovation etc, I was sick of it. I play every game on 1440p maxed out, 120hz, I get 100+ FPS in all games, sometimes 200FPS in MW3, and that's without FSR on. The card cost me $1600 when I got it. I had a few driver crashes for a few months when I first got it, but now it's fine. AMD's RDNA architecture is brilliant, it will only get better overtime. They keep adding these new technologies, like the fluid motion frames. I think people skip AMD because Nvidia have better presentation, not really understanding the crap Nvidia has done to scam their fans. These new AMD cards are great, they are cheaper and most likely won't catch fire. They are so much smaller than the competition, but yet in some cases will perform better, even that should get some praise. Who knows what updates they can do to this new chiplet design. Funny how Nvidia are planning on going to a Chiplet design for their next cards. Intel had to change because AMD had innovated. Now Nvidia will have to change because of AMD. AMD should get more praise for pushing PC gaming. I had my 1060 6g for 7 years, I think this 7900 XT will last even longer. I guess that depends on what A.I will do for gaming in the near future.

I recently upgraded to a 7900XTX from a 1080 and it has been great so far. I didn't like the direction Nvidia took their cards since Turing and I don't play any titles that really use RT. One of the things I kind of wish would happen, though it never would, would be if there was a card with a 4090 level transistor count that was all rasterization based. AD102 has about 10x the transistors of GP104; that coupled with increased clocks, IPC and cache would probably net you 10x the rasterization performance. At that point you could probably brute-force the methods developers use to fake RT and PT well enough and fast enough to simply be better than either PT or RT.

I would just skip the 12VHPWR GPUs.

Random comment I know, but I have followed you for years and years, ever since you made a video about the FX6300 which I bought because of it 😆 Glad to see you're still going man 👍

7800 XT. Good 4K performance. Enjoying it so far

Honestly speaking, the limitation for the 7900xtx is RT, it's a great product and even still the RT performance is equal to the 4080/4080s. Marginal differences at most and then when you get to PT that's when the RT performs poorly, but if you think about it logically, no fucking card can play path tracing. Nvidia can only reach playability with DLSS 3.5 Frame gen upscaling and Ray Reconstruction, which lessens the image quality even more, reducing the workload from the GPU. No card is even close to being able to reproduce RAW Pathtracing, we probably won't get one that will until 2027. Path Tracing is the future, not RT.

I have a 3090, 4090, and 7900xtx and honestly between the 7900xtx and 4090 you usually don’t notice a difference if you dont use raytracing and dont watch fps counters in game

I went from a 5900X with a 6900XT to a 7800 X3D with a Sapphire 7900 XTX and a new Dell AW3423DWF HDR monitor. The only HDR game I play at the moment is The Division 2 and once dialed in it is better looking to me than Ray Tracing. My only issue so far is with the newest driver 24.6.1 all games crash, going back to 24.5.1 and no issues. Hopefully this will get fixed. I have been running AMD GPUs for the last 10 years and never experienced driver issues until now.

I'm using a 4080 since it came out. As soon as the pcie 5.0 PSU's showed up, I started using them and I had next to no issues at all. The cable issue was proven to be a human error. People should simply learn how to install the hardware. You literally have a whole video on testing the cable issue by the Gamers Nexus channel.

Bought one too. Awesome FPS but 456W powerdraw and noisy. Refund and went for a RTX 4080, significant lower powerdraw and quiet. DLSS 3.5 with IA denoising and path tracing is outstanding.

fluid motion frames is nothing to sleep on

My 4080 has had no issues

I used to own an RX 7900 XTX but ultimately decided to return it and replace it with an RTX 4090. The reason for doing this was due to experiencing multiple issues while trying to run a configuration of 3 monitors + a display device at the same time. I grant you that this use case is very niche, but when investing this much money into a GPU you would expect that it can handle challenging situations.

I went AMD from the green also quit AMD after trying them ~20 years ago due to driver issues! XFX RX 7900 XTX a great gpu and keeping up with the green in most case but the driver issues remain with some games unplayable(I do not own those games) after a few driver updates I am now impressed with the performance and the XFX brand with exceptional cooling

I found a crazy deal on an ASRock RX 7900 XTX Phantom Gaming OC back in August of 2023 for $1148CAD / $850USD. It was a Newegg open-box special but I didn't care because it still had the full ASRock factory warranty, was in perfect condition (some of the plastic film was hanging off but who cares?) and came in-box with everything. I know that I made the right choice because it was even cheaper than the RX 7900 XT at the time.

I'm using a RX7900 XTX because i plan to buy the 240hz Samsung 57" double wide 4k which works better with a 2.1 DP. I saved nearly $2k for the screen getting this card when i built my new rigg in November 2023.

I went with the 7900 xtx over the 4080 a year ago for my gaming rig. Simply because I didn’t trust that plug and the revised ones weren’t out yet.

much like you, i went from an rtx 3090 (evga ftw3 ultra) to an rx7900xtx(powercolor hellhound spectral white). i game at 1440p and the rx7900xtx doesnt fail or falter at all at 1440p and can even push 4k too. eventually i may go 4k but for now 1440p is really good. i have zero regrets at all. the rx7900xtx is absolutely nuts.

I had my 3080 TI break twice.. apparently a problem. The second time it got sent for fixing they gave me a 4070 TI Super instead! I found a guide for overclocking that card to it's max while being stable and below 60c and OC it manually. It runs perfectly without problems at 4k 120 frames in HDR with ray tracing and mostly all ultra settings, TAA or DLAA with 50-60fps on demanding games sometimes 45fps +/-

i am happy with my 4070 ti super

You can tell this entire channel is Bullshit when you have a 7900x3d consistently outperforming the 7800x3d😆

Good choice 👍🏼, I also change from nvidia to amd 7900xtx sapphire nitro , and my cpu is 7950x3d all runs just perfect. Very happy

I recently upgraded to rx 7900 xt hellhound and havent regretted it at all!!! Works great, the price was better, and zero issues!!!

If you're using one graphics card, and constantly swapping it around. I would recommend using a PCI Express extension cable. That way you're just plugging a cable in and out of each motherboard instead of the card itself

I bought the MSI RTX 4080 Super 16G SUPRIM X and I avoided the 7900XTX... My 4080 Super SUPRIM X on MSI MEG Optix MEG381CQR Plus monitor is rock solid with G-Sync Ultimate buttury smooth. Cheers 🥂 🍻

As it should be, use the graphic that fits your needs the most, no matters the brand

I built a brand new system, all Tuf Gaming. I got the Radeon 7900 xtx and the ryzen 7 7800 x3d. I suffered from numerous 'driver timeout' issues that seemed to be very common with this card. After numerous tweeks and settings, SO FAR I've had no further issues. Now, when the thing works normal, its a dang beast of a card. I play games on maximum graphics settings and the card's fans barely need to run.

AMD also has less gpu driver overhead limiting the cpu.

If you're not testing with RT on at all then the XTX makes sense, although it actually does pretty ok with RT. It's not 4090 but yeah... You should be able to avoid the gpu being the limit in 1080p I would think. 4090 for sure does but I think you'll be fine. I just hope it runs stable for ya.

For it's price it's def not worth it, it might be cheaper than Nvidia, but it's still crazy expensive. If prices don't drop in the next few years most average joes are just going stop buying graphics cards, and I'm talking about all the Cards, not only the Flag Ship gpus.. At the current price point I can buy a PS5 and a Meta Quest 3 for a cheaper price than a RX 7900 XT / RTX 4070 Ti Super mid range gpus that's crazy.

Personally since I started getting into PCs in 2015, I've always had AMD in my personal rig. R9 390

The only reason i buy asrock 7900 xtx are because at the time its about $1000 and the 4070ti are $1200 in my country.

I went from a 1080ti to a XFX 7900XTX, no regrets. Great card.

Ditched my 4070 for a 7900XTX Red Devil and its been wonderful. Adrenalin is sort of trash, so I install drivers only and use MSI Afterburner for fan curve and OC. It can play all of my games maxed out at 4K getting 80-120fps. I could care less about RT at the moment. NVIDIA's prices are just vomit inducing.

Ok I'm thinking of getting the RX 7900 XT with the 20 gig because it's 699 and with NewEgg I could trade in my Old GPU RTX 3070. How much more performance should I expect?

I built my first modern era gaming PC back in February and went with the Merc 310 7900XTX. I was able to take advantage of an Amazon $100 gift card for getting their store card and then 5% off my purchase in cash back so I ended up getting the Merc 310 7900XTX for around $800 after the promos. Cannot complain one bit about that. Just using the Adrenaline "Rage" preset this thing will boost up to 3100-3200mhz and it seems to always run cool and quiet. From what I'm reading it sounds like I got fairly lucky with my silicon. Still new to all of this, but I've been loving what this card brings to the table. I run a main display of an LG C2 65" 4K 120hz and then 2 additional Dell 24" monitors and haven't had any issues.

I have both a 4080 and a 7900xtx..love them both for there respective performances. 4080 for raytracing games, Cyberpunk looks awsome right along with Battlefield 2042, Alan Wake 2 and Ratchand Clank 2. 7900xtx is awsome in Call of Duty Warzone, Diablo 4, Epoch, Division 2, and Rage 2. And I got both of them cheaper than a 4090, so I'm happy.

I switched from 6900xt ultra to the RTX 4080 super FE. My son has the 7900xtx. We have the same mobo and CPU. Also we have compared performance across several titles. What we found was Nvidia seemed to be a more trouble free experience, less pauses and jitters, and higher 1% lows. Either card is a great choice although RT and DLSS are on another level.

Sometimes I don’t know how to take this type of content. It’s like he broke Free of an addiction, and now wants to let the internet know

I'm very happy with my RX 7900 XTX

I had an GTX 650 ti from 2012 till 2014 then I got my GTX 980 and kept it till 2021 and in 2022 I got my RX-6900 XT till today and I'm satisfied a lot. And I was an Nvidia user for 10 years but I think I won't go back for the amd great low prices I hope one day I'll move to Radeon 7000

It was for me with the Sapphire Nitro+. It chews up most games and runs the AI applications I want, while I get to keep both of my kidneys

The 4090 is a amazing card dont get me wrong but owning a card that can beat it in certain titles while also being less than half the price had me sold.

Why didn't you plug 3 separate 8-pin cables to your 7900 xtx?

I picked up a hellhound 7900xtx to replace my asus tuf 6900xt as I just recently moved into a smaller space and started using my pc with 4k oled instead of a monitor. I was happy with the performance increase but the hdmi output must of been a older version of what was on the 6900xt because it was only reporting my tv being 120hz instead of 144hz and it was also reporting the panel being 8 bit non hdr when its a 10 bit hdr panel. I find it very strange they only put hdmi 2.1 not 2.1a on a newer flagship card. Also the bracket that you screw into the case on the card arrived bent which was a bit disappointing. I returned it and I'm waiting for next gen now lol

Just watching this video again and noticed you haven’t got 3 x separate PCIe cables plugged in. You will only draw 375W because of this and not 525W + it can draw.

I got an xtx as well. I did notice that the drivers are a bit buggier than nvidia drivers. And dlss is overall better than fsr from my experience. But other than that, you can't beat the performance value of this card in the current market.

Question - would you buy a £1k TV, Fridge, HIFI system, Cooker if it had these power connection issues. I'll answer No. Anyone championing the rtx 4000 series with that issue is a mug. Not saying nvidia is worse but there is no way im buying anything with that sort of an issue.

Making a video about buying the arguably third best (cheaper) option ???

I just bought the xtx, very happy with it so far. Great high end on a budget option.

After seven years with my first build - which used the GTX 1070 - this year I built my second PC, consciously choosing AMD for both CPU and GPU (RX 7800 XT) for reasons of not wanting to buy from monopolistic giants like Intel and Nvidia. I absolutely love the AMD approach to have all-in-one driver+tuning+recording software, instead of two different apps on Nvidia plus the requirement to log in. The AMD software is well-designed and well-functioning. The GPU itself is great - not much to compare it to since I went directly from 1070 to it, but even in the very unoptimised game like Star Citizen I am enjoying great frame boost at 1440p ultrawide, especially when using Fluid Motion Frames. And the only issue I was having with my GPU itself ended up being a problem of leftover Nvidia entries in my GRUB bootloader file. I mostly use Linux, so I dualboot it with Windows 11, and on bootup, once I selected Linux in GRUB menu, my monitor would lose signal with the GPU. I would need to first log into Windows, then restart and pick Linux for it to work. After a lot of searching and experimenting, it turned out there were two bits referencing Nvidia - left over from the few weeks I used my old 1070 on this build before my RX 7800 XT arrived - in the GRUB file, and once I deleted them, the problem went away. There are some articles on how Nvidia refuses to be completely purged when you remove their drivers and files from your Linux installation, so it was relatable in my case.

Nicolas, I'm so glad you made this video

I don't like the new connector on the nvidia 4000 series cards either. I'm looking to put a RX 7900XTX in my REVOLT 3 case, so if any body can tell what video card works in this case. thank you

I upgraded from rx 6650xt to rx 6800 and im very satisfied with the 16gb vram and 1440p performance! Sold old gpu for $180 and bought brand new gpu for $350 so easy upgrade and low cost ish

I bought Sapphire Nitro Plus 7900 XTX two months ago,upgrading from 3080 10 gb.The card is a monster,but i had some problems with drivers and AMD did fix that issue.

For a pure gaming pc, Nothing beats the 7900xtx paired with a 7800x3d cpu.

Worth it? Yes, it is faster than RTX 4080 SUPER and you get it for a little less.

I went with a power color red devil and man it's just so good. It's funny how many people argue that the 4080 is the better product due to DLSS. As powerful as these cards are I don't want to upscale an image. There is a legit difference in detail between native raster and upscaled image. I guess I never really noticed because I had to use DLSS with my 3080. Also CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW GOOD THE AMD SOFTWARE IS!!!! My GOD is it night and day between NVidia.

From rx570 4gb to 7900 xtx, love this card paired with the 7800x3d

"when i spend more thank 1k on a gpu i expect it to work with minimal effort" this made me giggle since it's exactly why i send back my 7900xtx. Look like it's really hit or miss for this card, mine came with terrible coil whine for started, keep crasing in game, even got artefact while playing, blue screen and ram issue... The drivers are really terrible, couldn't find a stable version, i have tried everything to tweak it and configure my computer for five days before sending it back. I wish i could say i'm the only one but looking at the forum it's so bad that people start calling us raging nvidia fanboy oO. I really wanted to keep that card and was more than happy to go amd since i love their cpu already but after trying everything i could at the end of the day i have a job and limited time to lose on bs like that.

I won't ever buy NVIDIA GPUs again. Simply because of the fact that they had the ability to stop stupid price gouging and scalpers, but did nothing for their consumers. Never again, and I'll be vocal about that from now on.

The gpu video shot is really great, as for the gpu, is a great match for your need. Also agree with 4090 12v cable failure rate is too high. Since I only able to but mid range, and my first amd xfx rx 6700 xt is broken after 3 months use 😂, back to team green 😅. My own takeaway is if you buy amd dont buy the cheapest 3rd party, at least get sapphire. Back to the cheapest zotac nvidia without any problem.

The issue with melted cables on the 4090 likely stemmed from using 4x8 pin connectors, some of the 4090s only use 3x8, because that's all you need.

I did consider the 7900 XTX but I am happy I did get the 4080 Super instead. CP2077 with Path Tracing really requires Frame Generation and DLSS is just better than FSR. Also we got Ray Reconstruction. However I went with AMD instead of Intel this time and opted for the 7800X3D instead of 14700K.

I sold this video card today. Nice thing, but to be honest I don't really notice a difference with the RTX 4070. Better yet, with Ray tracing and DLSS enabled on the RTX 4070, I get more FPS than on the 7900XTX with Ray tracing enabled.

As of now, I'm where you were. Deciding what "team" to get.

Save to say any person getting rx 7900xtx are very happy with everything, but I don;t see same happines with rtx 4090 or rtx 4080 owners, reporting multiple issues with drivers or melting cables, and yet AMD is at its lowest ever market share with 700 series, people are really up to Nvidias ass very far deep :(

An RTX 4080 Super would now (after launch) be a better choice, but there's still this connector dilemma...I therefore also bought an RX 7900 XTX, and for a lot less money than the RTX 4080 Super! So, in my opinion, a very good choice and also a bit of a money-saver (at least in Europe it is!).

3060ti died, had an A770 16GB LE temporarily. 7900 XTX with a proper PSU is really good.

I tried to do the same with a 7700 XT but it was defective and blackscreened in a week. It was great for the price but after that i wasnt eager to just replace it with the same card. So i went and returned it and bumped up to a 4070 Super

For 12VHPWR power connector, totally agree with your point.

I use a 1080ti even for VR. I dont even think about the day when I would purchase other GPU. No rush!

Just got a merc 310 7900xtx. Coming from a rtx 3080 hybrid. Also had a rtx 3090. I must say. I'm staying with the 7900xtx till I retire from gaming. I'm very satisfied. I only game at 4k on a oled 65 inch. I've been waiting for this type of card to come out.

I bought the 7900XT(MSI CLASSIC) like 9months back & yes it's my Baby...runs every game smooth. I ditched Ngredia for same cz as U, 12pin connector, & ditched the XTX Cz it's hella more costly in India, & for just like 10-14Fps more for 400+Wattage it's too much. Upgraded from GTX 1060 6GB, U get the upgrade amount.

I have been an NVIDIA fanboy since the early 2000s. And I did not even consider buying AMD for 2 decades. BUT - a big but here - NVIDIA needs to receive pushback from many customers for the recent pricing IMHO. That’s why I skipped the 3000/4000 series to buy the TUF 7900XTX we have seen in this test. Second reason was I got more performance for less when comparing to a 4080, no doubt. On top of this, the AMD drivers are really cool, which recently drove NVIDIA to copy AMDs all in one approach. I don’t need RTSS, Afterburner, NVIDIA config and experience anymore…

I have the 6800xt tuf gaming edition card and I'm very satisified with it @1440p resolution. I see no reasons to upgrade tbh

I was on the verge of purchasing a 7900XTX but ended up getting a 4090. My reasoning for this was based around not so much the gaming performance but all of the support Nvidia has with different "production" suites and its CUDA based architecture. But this morning I read that they are coming out with "ZLUDA" a bridge software that will allow AMD cards to understand CUDA. This will level the playing field and really make the Radeon cards a formidable option for purchase in comparison to Nvidia's offerings. I am not sure to what extent "ZLUDA" will perform or how it performs. If it "emulates" or its in real time, these are important factors. Either way, its clear to see that AMD is working hard to polish their products. Nvidia will probably put out a 4090Ti or even a Titan card. But if I were their marketing team I would suggest to go with a Titan release instead of a 4090Ti. It would be easier to sell a Titan card at an MSRP of $1800-$2000 than a 4090Ti, plus selling the 4090Ti at that price point pushes the price of the 50 Series card to unimaginable heights. Hopefully AMD cards will give Windows 12 the A.I. inference it requires, its obvious that he 40Tops or even the 60 TOPS these so called A.I. CPU's that are coming will not be enough and Windows 12 will need to tap into the video card for inference.

LOL I came from AMD and switched to NVIDIA. I bought a 7900 xtx for $899 for my 4k setup in July 2023. Majorly regretted it cos of the lack of upscaling tech. FSR 3 being only available on few selective games is purely annoying. It's been 2 years since the release of their current flagship GPU and AMD still hasn't released they're upscaling tech on most games, and when I said most games, I mean games that counts, games that are actually being played by most of us. Also, RX 7900 XTX costing $899 to $999 these days doesn't help either, why? because you are literally paying for a native performance in most games, cos the ray tracing sucks and the upscaling tech is so outdated. All the features that you can see on a box of an RX 7900 XTX is all bullshit because you can't really use most of them. Even their new feature "Anti Lag+" was such a failure and they temporarily removed it. Paying $150 to $200 more is definitely worth it if you are just building a new pc right now, go for RTX 4080 SUPER it cost around $1099 to $1199 but you won't have any compromise, you don't have to wait for AMD software updates, no bullshit, no non-sense. Don't be fooled by these youtube videos of "I switched to AMD and it's life changing" these guys are paid content creators.

I bought a 4090 last year september, and i dont regret it

I went from a 3060ti to a 7900 GRE, no regrets

Had enough of the price gouging that Nvidia has been doing since the 2000 series; it's only gotten worse with the 4000 series. For the first time since the old Radeon 9800 Pro I decided to try a Radeon card again. No regrets; haven't had any issues and the 7900 XTX is more than enough of a card to last me for many years to come.

I prefer low temperatures and good performance over RT. Crisp shadows while gaming isn't important to me.

Click baits AMD, proceeds to instantly talk about on his actual gaming rig and for his productivity he uses NVIDIA instead. LMAO I respect the hustle brother

i also upgaded my rtx 3070 to rx 7800xt nitrox+

I have a 4090 and the Asus 7900 xt tuf card. I now use the 7900 xt because the monitor is a freesync pro alienware aw3423dwf. With the Nvidia card, I couldn't stop the camera panning judder in nearly every game. The drivers did state that the monitor isn't Gsync validated. With the 7900 xt, the smoothness is absolutely flawless. It's not as good at ray tracing but I prefer the smoothness every time.

While both AMD and Nvidia gave into the greed, AMD at least offered cards this generation (from the 7800XT and up) that will age better. With a focus on more VRAM and a higher capacity of VRAM, there is a far better chance that their cards will age out due to compute performance and not due to VRAM. Consider this, many people are dumping their RTX 3070 cards, making it one of the shortest lived cards in a vary long time from Nvidia, and that is due to the 8GB of VRAM. There are many games today where the card has ample compute performance to handle the game, but the VRAM limit means that higher settings in some games will result in frame time issues or low performance due to spillover to system RAM, or for the games that do not allow the shared memory pool to be used, then they often end up with texture issues as the engine simply does not load all in when the VRAM is full. At the top of the line level for Nvidia and AMD, they do offer a good amount of VRAM, though as a horrible price for what they are giving. For example, the RTX 4090 should really have 48GB of VRAM, which would allow for it to be useful in AI based video frame interpolation of 4K video, e.g, making super slow motion footage without the usual optical flow artifacts, or working a dozen 4K video layers, each with their own set of compositing and effects from a program like davinci resolve, which is extremely VRAM intensive but only moderately heavy on the GPU compute.

which do you recommend for 1440p option 1. 7950x3d rx7900xtx - option 2 i914900k rx7900xtx or - option 3 i9 14900k rtx 4090? - option 4 7950x3d rtx 4090? Reply

I have the Red Devil 7900xtx that I liquid cooled. I'm very happy.

i upgraded from 3060 ti to 7900 xtx (gaming trio) that's as much as my budged (wife) told me i can spend :), the gpu can run HOT🥵 sometimes, but it's a beast and you can undervolt it just a litle to cool it by 15-20 degrees with barely a hit to performance. so am i happy with it? F*** YEAH!!!
