Hello 👋

This is my first post on the fediverse after ditching Reddit, still trying to figure out how it works so I may be posting this wrong, in which case my apologies 😅

After the slight disappointment that is the RTX 4070 and overpriced RTX 4080/4090, I’m looking at potentially getting an RX 7900XT. The price has dropped from ~800 in March to ~720 this month. What I’m wondering is if it’s worth copping it now that’s it’s slightly cheaper? Would it be a future proof card?

I’m not yet massively sold on ray tracing or DLSS or any of that stuff and I’m hoping that the power that card can output make up for it.

    imo high end AMD pricing is over priced. They are pricing as if crypto is still operating, Nvidia is expensive but AMD is struggling to compete. Intel actually looks good on a budget, and AMD looks good for middle ground.

    For the price you found ~720 for 7900 XT is a pretty good deal, The VRAM on AMD is superior which really helps future games.
