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. 👍😁
amd just has better care overall for its customers, between the 40 series burning issues, and nvidia locking 20 and 30 cards out of dlss 3.0+ [which people have spoofed cards from the 20 and 30 line to say theyre 40 series and then dlss 3 worked] and then nvidias horrible driver updates that cause shadow play to sometimes break if you dont update the driver. it just seems like its all a cash grab, nvidia gives 0 shits about what card youre on unless its the newst and best one, then theyll short you some vram just to release a super series with the appropriate amount later. amd might be rough around the edges but at least their cards dont fall off to time as hard.
Both are good cards, Have the 7900XTX Merc 310 and a 7800XT. Also still have a 1060 and 3060 12gb around (it's nice that it doesn't draw a lot of power).
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.
Nice choice. I do care about RT but I'm not supporting nvidia. The 7900xt is selling like hot cakes since the price drop due to the 4070 ti S releasing (its true purpose lol). At mt local Microcenter all the 7900 xt are sold out.
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.
honestly this is the reason why I'm intending on going amd with my next card. 10gb has absolutely held this card back its whole life imo. i feel like dlss only matters to me BECAUSE of this horrid limitation
Welcome to another planet were 10GB of vram is not currently enough. The DXR performance of the 7900xtx is not that big enough to call this an upgrade over the 3080. More like a side upgrade and thats the current DX standard. Raster performance can be good but these days its DXR performance that matters more. AAA games are ray tracing going forward and require good upscaling and frame generation. AMD are still a full generation behind in ray tracing and still dont have AI upscaling. Hell TV's Im looking at have AI upscaling. The whole AMD 6000 series had great VRAM sizes and they are all obsolete because of poor ray tracing performance and no AI support in hardware. Their raster performance is nothing now. You can still run all games on a 3080, you cant on a AMD rx 6000 series card because performance is not there.

Its a blatant scam, but these dorks keep falling for it.
That’s likely either a game-specific issue, or something up with your disk I/O. I haven’t had any issues with texture pop-in with my 7900XTX & 5800X3D.
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.

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

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 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%.
I have a 3080TI(MSI) with a 5900X, I find it's pretty quiet & not too much heat, but I do limited FPS to my monitor refresh rate so it's Acer X34A Ultra wide 3440x1440 @100Hz - although it can put out some heat if I crank up settings on a demanding game 👍
less power consumption?? When using amd??? Isnt that, like, the only disadvantage of having an AMD card? That it draws a shit ton of watts? (Im all AMD here in a tiny lil bit when my next paycheck comes through, so I'm not shitting on anything or anyone; .... except NVIDIA tihi) Seems a little weird.
@@SkyLiink he is talking about overall power consumption, Intel 12700k + rtx 3080 will consume more power than 7800x3d + rx 7900xtx and also it is easy to undervolt both cpu &GPU using amd Ryzen master & amd adrenaline software.
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.
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.
DLSS is not lowering quality at all anymore you cant see the differents and without it and Framegeneration RT woud never be possible if we look at the poor gains in RT power a 4090 isnt much faster in RT then a 2080 TI what happen is the cards got faster in Roster performance giveing more room for RT but RT it self didnt get much improvement on its own just to demanding
The second gen of AMD raytracing has already been tested by every major RUclipsr that covers GPUs (Jayztwocents, Paul's hardware, LTT, Hardware Unboxed, Gamers Nexus, etc.) The results are always the same, that card has the raytracing performance of a 3080ti (not witjin a mile of a 4080 lol, still loses to the 3090, 3090ti). They haven't even caught up to Nvidia's second gen RT performance, let alone their third gen.
@@xythiera7255I completely agree. Using dlss is remarkable and does not sacrifice quality. Lets you use higher detail retracing and PT. Albeit even a 4090 I’ve seen framerates almost halved, but still great framerates.
Funny HWU has 7900xtx on par with 4080 in UE5 Lumen techpowerup has 7900xtx on par with 3090ti overall in RT so another nvidia shil exposed.There is small channel on YT that shows 3090ti and 7900xtx being on par in heavily optimised for nvidia Cyberpunk.Side by side not just some made up graphs.
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.
@@officialyashvirgaming i have a I9-9900K and a 850 Watt PSU and it works fine. Underclock the XTX a little bit and it will only consume between 200-300 Watts, so you should be fine. Because sometimes on stock clock it takes up to 425 watts in some scenarios
@officialyashvirgaming yea that will be Plenty. I own that power supply with a 7900xtx and never had a problem. The own time the 7900xtx draws a lot of power is when you OC it.
Put too much pressure on that connector and the connector itself broke loose, too gently and it melt due to improper connection, it's a catch-22 really 😂
Don't forget that AMGreeD followed with the pricing so, skipped new video cards completely. Might buy a used 6800 XT or something and upgrade from my 970. Or RDNA 4, it's supposed to be more of a refresh with better power efficiency and price but who knows.
@@Hito343 I am also looking for a 6900 XT or 6950 XT (depending on model) on the local used market. Until now I've managed to snag a 6900 XT Nitro+ SE for around 450 Euro, for my friend. The best part is that it wasn't even used too much. It works like a champ.
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.
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 👍
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.
@@kevinbronson6869 right now I’m on my dad’s old (5 or 6 year old) Samsung 32” 4K60Hz monitor. And I love my XTX. I’ll be getting the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 in late April or Early May.
@@GodKitty677 The XTX will go to my dad’s rig as soon as the 50 series with 2.1 DP or AMD 80 series if it catches up or is better. The XTX was really a stop gap measure until a GPU can really handle dual 4k at 240hz. It was cheaper to go with that than the 4080 and want to save a little for the new monitor.
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'm sorry to hear you had to deal with those driver issues. Of course you're right. No one should have to deal with issues like those when paying such a premium price.
Strange, maybe it's a Windows thing. I've had the 7900XTX for 9 months and in Linux I've had 0 issues with 4 monitors, 2x1440p(75Hz) in portrait mode, 1x4K(240Hz) landscape mode in the middle and on top 1x4k(30Hz) landscape TV display. I've gotta say, I'm really happy with the results, but it really is a shame you had to go through this.
@@BrotherPatrix Yeah, that does sound plausible. It wouldn't be the first time Windows caused issues with drivers and vice versa. Hopefully everything gets sorted out sooner or later for people that are stuck with their choices.
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 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.
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 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 🥂 🍻

@@travislindgren7158 I know the differents between GPU's but the RTX 4070 in my Asus Rog Strix 18 is giving me more FPS with DLSS and Ray Tracing on then on my desktop with a 7900XTX with Ray Tracing on. Intel seems to give more and stable FPS.
It's mixed for me. I didn't even bother with AFMF1 over Lossless Scaling, the recent preview drivers for AFMF2 are a massive improvement though. That said, it depends, in most cases I prefer Lossless Scaling frame-gen. Some games work better with AFMF2 than others but in general I get more 'artifacts' on AFMF2 and less stable frame pacing, but it definitely beats out Lossless Scaling on latency in most cases. But both implementations are making steady improvements, especially over the past few months, it's an exciting development for sure. In most cases I'd rather just bump everything to absolute max and lock at 60fps frame-gen up to 120fps instead of making compromises in the settings.
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.
Ray tracing is a gimmick for at least 2-3 years. You cant expect Ray tracing to be a "feature" of a game when you need a 4K gaming Rig to actually enjoy it properly, even Unreal Engine is still fleshing out the Ray tracing technology both in quality and optimized performance. So for at least for 2 more years it will never be considered a real feature but a case specific use case.

@@patozarantonello8572 both sides have their ups and downs. the 4080 and 7900xtx are very close performance wise, so it is just extra features that you would be looking at. And what you intend to do with the card, along with what operating system you will be doing it on. Some games run better on AMD or Nvidia. It basically comes down to knowing your use case. I run a 7900xtx because I play mostly raster games, I don't value dlss at all, the card is/was cheaper, and I am using linux.
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 had a 3070 Ti, the main problem was the shitty low vram. I replaced it with a 7900XT and gaming on high res is way way better. Worth the purchase for the vram alone compared to shitty 8gb.
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
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.
That's odd, I went from a 2080 super to a 6800XT and boot into grub just fine and use it as my main bootloader since I can just select windows from grub. Happy you got it sorted out!
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 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
@@CYRUS_DeVeRaKe his comment is pretty clear if you did a blind test in regular rasterization you would never be able to tell the two gpus apart. both 4090 and xtx are so powerful in regular rasterization that even with lets say a 20% performance difference you would never be able to tell 280 by 240 fps without a fps counter.
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.
@erickalvarez6486 nope...2 pcs...one is strictly for ray traced titles...the other is for high fps. If you truly look at the 7900xtx it mimics a 3090 ti. Power draw, ray tracing, size...it's just a little faster. I replaced my 3090 ti with a 7900xtx because I wanted an air cooled card...my 3090 ti was lc...and had 4 years on the aio. So I sold it to get a 7900...and it's nice for what it is until you turn on raytracing....frame gen helps out...but that wasn't an option when I got mine.
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.
same here, refunded my 7900xtx when black myth wukong benchmark came out, terrible RT performances with 7900xtx and disappointing raster with lumen (around 4070ti level of performances), AMD doesnt seem to be doing well with lumen. Got a refurbished 4080s ProArt, amazing cards allowing you instal both gaming drivers as well as studio drivers (drivers for professional apps), totally silent, amazing gaming performances in 3440x1440. Also DLSS is just magic, looks better than native TAA.....unlike FSR (i recommend using XeSS upscaling when available for amd users, looks definitely better than FSR upscaling). Issue with AMD is that there are too much games their cards are underperforming and you find the 7900xtx getting only 4070s/4070ti level of performances, and FSR is kinda underwhelming technology compared to AI based upscalers.
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.
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 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!

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 +/-
"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.

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.
Yep, had damn near the same experience with 2 different 7900 XTX. MSI and XFX. Had to send both back. Really tried to like it but it just wasn't happening. Returned to rtx 2070 for zero problems.
Coil whine and driver issues are the skeletons in NVidia's closets that nobody speaks about. Literally every one of their GPU's has coil whine. Some, like my 1080TI, practically has its own podcast it's so loud. Also, NVidia's been using 20 year old software that IS the slowest out of everybody's. And for the coup de grace, GeForce Experience likes to have it's own issues with installing drivers. GPU's all have issues, regardless of who makes them. People are just more comfortable with their green team cards.
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.
hi there i have built PC for gaming and create youtube videos currently i have 2080 ti alligned with 7800x3d but im upgrading my GPU next month i have selected 3090 ti for $778.26
The gpu video shot is really great, as for the gpu, is a great match for your need. Also agree with 4090 12v cable failure rate is too high. Since I only able to but mid range, and my first amd xfx rx 6700 xt is broken after 3 months use 😂, back to team green 😅. My own takeaway is if you buy amd dont buy the cheapest 3rd party, at least get sapphire. Back to the cheapest zotac nvidia without any problem.
hm, Thats so strange, Did u bought card from crypto-mining? i've got my XFX Rx 6700 XT half year ago from 1 year of mining for 210$ temps on 100% load is 57 for chip and 70 hotspot and it smashing all games in 1440p. In 90% of games i have CPU bottleneck ( I7 9700k ), but where bottleneck is GPU - everything runs 100+ fps ( have 165hz 1440p monitor). To make story short, i think you've got just unlucky day. The reason why am i switched from Nvidia just drivers and better fps per dollar. Had before very many Green GPUs like from Riva TNT2 :). Than GT9800, GTS 250, GTX 580 (Which burned 2 times LOL. ) than GTX 1050ti ( yeap yeap ), Than i bought RX 5700 and i fall in love with AMD drivers. Than i bought 3060 ( sold my RX 5700 for 700$ which was bought for 250$ KekL) than 3060 ti ( again sold 3060 for 900$ which was bought for 600$ DOUBLE KEKL ) and i cannot accept this bery BAD and uninformative Nvidia drivers. They are just crappy bad. After i sold 3060ti to my friend for 230$ and bought mine RX 6700XT for 210$ and happy as hell. It works nice, The driver has never crashed in mine 7 months~. Well this is mine story, and i think u just got unlucky purchase. Just give it another chance. But if u dont, good luck with buying a new good card :)
i recently switched from a 3070ti to a 7900xtx mostly for tripple a games. after finishing most of them i found myself in an awfull position since playing competitive games especially cs2 is a straight disaster with amd playing 4:3 leads to insanely stupid problems with adrenalin where none of my settings would work and would consistently reset. this lead to a ton of crashes and me having to switch back to my 3070 to be able to play comp shooters again while not having to worry about adrenalin - resetting my windows never helped and it remaind a mistery to me why adrenalin had such issues with custom resotlution/4:3 gaming
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.
HOT TAKE : Nvidia sells cards with gimmicky terms like DLSS and "Frame generation". AMD sells cards that blast frames at native resolution without needing cheap tricks. Nvidia in my oppinion now that im bering serious, has let their ego and their market coverage go to their heads. They know people will buy their cards, and they know that they have people trained to accept sub par, or overpriced cards because they have created these "gimmicks" to pick up the slack where their cards fall short. AMD gets a bad rap because their drivers used to be extremely volatile at times. Yes they have a high power draw, yes they have a little higher thermals. But you would come to expect that from a card that doesnt rely on ai frame generation and dlss to artificially boost its performance. But the cards now a days, price to performance, dollars per frame, should have nvidia sweating. And no. RTX isnt mainstream enough to include in this argument.
Due to the ridiculous price of 4080 I went with a 7900XT and couldn't be happier with hardware/software. After the immense cringe with nV$d$a and its gigantic cult I will never touch them again.
Cult? You think AMD is any better? Both companies limit their supply to keep prices high. Both companies ironically are run by two members of the same blood related family. All this proves is that AMD might be product fixing with Nvidia, and Intel might be the only one to cause their duopoly some problems.
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
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.
100ti is still a BEAST, but you will care if the next API Doesn't support the 10-series cards, lol. I was on a 2080 super for a while (marginally better performance than the 1080 ti but with 3GB Less VRAM) and I agree it was an awesome card, but if you ever decide to go 1440p there is no way you would make it with a 1080ti, not unless your fine with a 40 fps average lol.
@officialyashvirgaming you talking about fake FPS here. All I care is about RAW power. If the game can't run without fake ass gimmicks, than it does not worth even a cent for 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
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 :(
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
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.
Well, you chose to get AW3423DWF. New 4K OLED monitors are coming, maybe there'll be one with G-Sync. Due to dealing with static content for prolonged periods of time, OLEDs were out of the question for me, so I went with XG321UG. Can't say I'm disappointed, blacks are very close to OLED on that monitor.
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.
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 run a 7900 GRE. Especially if you get a model where you can give the VRAM a healthy overclock, it's a great card in terms of performance for the money. Just avoid the Steel Legend GRE. It's got a good overclock on the core clock to begin with, but VRAM overclocking on that card is not good at all. Other models will give you more headroom in that regard.
@@ZenAndPsychedelicHealingCenter thanks so much for your info & experience. I'm after a white one and therefore was considering the Steel Legend but instead, with your advice, will look to the Sapphire Pure
upgraded yesterday to an xtx from a 6900xt yesterday for VR, i couldnt PIN my quest 3 at 120hz for vr racing with the 6900xt, not a max graphics at least.. the xtx however, keeps thins at about 110 and up basically maxxed out. Love it. only paid 800, too
Went from 3080 to 4080. Hot good salee price for my 3080, only had to put €250 extra. Also bought a 90° connector for the 12v. So Far no problems at all. Was in doubt for the 7900xtx, but happy as it is.
Hey i don’t know if you are still using the 90 adapter but thats one of the main causes of the melting gpus, you have a 4080 not 4090 so the power is lower but there have been some reports of the 80 burning. I would just use the connector that came in the case if i were u with ur gpu. Cheers!
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.
I loved my 7900 XTX coming from a 3070, it runs flawless I can run anything at 4K ultra even with RT enabled. I could not justify spending the extra $300 on the 4080 or $1500 for the 4090! There’s was also the fear that this card was the last high end from amd.
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 mean theres only 3 options that make sense really. 1. You want a gaming laptop, Nvidia is the only option available. 2. You want a gaming PC, AMD is the only option that makes sense unless you feel like blowing out cash for no reason 3. You want a PC for editing, design, and all that stuff that requires a good GPU and ray tracing and all that stuff AND you want to play on the side, The the only option is Nvidia
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!!!
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.
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!).
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.
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
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
Nvidia has been kicking customers with their high prices and limited memory for a while now, but in the other hand I've had so many issues with AMD systems in the past three years that I just cannot mentally move over it yet. It's great that AMD is in the game and kicking competition to up their game.
Although I am not an expert, nor do I have a RUclips channel, nor am I a creator of technology content. I have 4 graphics, all tested on the same PC, with a Ryzen 9 7950x3d and with 64 GB of DDR5 RAM: RTx 3060 ti, RTX 4070 ti, Rx 7900XTX and the RTX 4080 super. Therefore, if I can say, without repeating what someone else repeats or without repeating what someone else tries. Nvidia's are excellent graphics, they are the best in fact, the RT theme, especially in the 4000 series, is spectacular. I don't use technologies such as DLSS or frame generation, it seems to me that games look bad when applying that. I liked playing in 4k and the 12GB of VRAM is not enough to move many titles to that resolution, without rescaling. The 4080 super has 16 GB of RAM and in many titles it goes very well, very few get to fill that VRAM, but I recognize that without technologies, those 16GB can become a limitation in the middle term. The RX 7900 XTX moves the RT well, not as much as the 4080 super, but well enough and without FSR, or frame generation, in pure raster. With the 24GB of VRAM of the 7900 XTX, the aging of this one will be slower. In summary, I can give my opinion on both brands, because I have tried both, I do not rely on RUclips videos or the opinion of a friend or acquaintance and many times that is what many lack, to be able to create their own opinions. I like Nvidia graphics more than AMD's, especially because in productivity AMD's have limitations, but does the everyday user really use so much productivity software today? Those who do AI or machine learning, in short, must choose Nvidia, the rest of the mortals, any of the 2 solves and the price is the determinant, with some considerations of how the games look, although sometimes it is very subjective. If you can, take the test. Without knowing what graphics you are using, play a demanding title and have someone you trust change the graphs on your PC and try to distinguish which is which. You are going to be surprised.
as someone who has a 3080ti, and then recently got a new monitor with a bigger resolution (3440x1440), I'm starting to feel like I need more gpu horsepower. I'm not interested in paying $2500 to nvidia. I'm very interested in a 7900 XTX but I'm not sure about which manufacturer. I have been buying nvidia reference GPU's and putting water blocks on them. How many watts does it pull in a game? with my 3080ti undervolted and overclocked it goes up to 400W but never over that at 1v
Sapphire nitro+ all the way, no need to water cool it either, the stock cooler is amazing and silent. Partner 7900xtx cards will run about 400w at full load in games, you'll be able to raise the clocks a bit within stock power envelope with tuning.
Added bonus to Piney's comment from someone who has both teams gpu's - AMD's software and drivers are currently vastly superior to Nvidia's, both functionally and stability.
@@kurgisempyrion6125 As someone who works in IT and is the go to guy for a lot of friends building/fixing pcs, I've seen plenty of wacky stuff on both brands, although nvidia's side tends to be more catastrophic while AMD has more but smaller issues that usually have workarounds. In the last 15 years, nvidia has released 2 generations of cards that have fatal memory issues (600 and 20 ti) and released drivers that brick cards twice, while AMD had the very buggy 5700xt launch and the very buggy crimson driver when they converted from catalyst, but both were fixed in time. Right now both brands are very stable, but nvidia still has a lot of gremlins with multi monitor, a trend going back all the way, and their linux drivers have been trash for the last 15 years.
Love my 7900xtx 24gb gpu. Even with rt on, I’m getting smooth fps. Currently playing Hogwarts Legacy with graphics set on ultra and rt set to high. 1440p. I’m getting a solid, smooth 120 fps. I’m very satisfied with my purchase.
For an end user the plug is ok. For a reviewer that plug is a nightmare they wear out fast (even at launch the plug was only rated for like 10 installs before the adapter weakens and failure becomes more likely). Wise move to avoid it for a test bench GPU.
I use to run nvidia fore years. I had gtx 1060, then rtx 3070. Last year I got rx6800xt for cheap (I earned money after I sold 3070). I'm very happy with 6800xt. Runs great, it's quiet and fast. I haven't had any issues with it.
i just don't know if i could trust spending so much money on another amd card. i have a 6700 build and the amount of times the drivers corrupt or crash (sometimes multiple times a day) just leaves a bad taste to me for amd
You know you could always use the old version, even nvidia have this problems not an amd specific issue. If your current version is outdated could be fixed with driver update.
@@demon6937 that's the thing. The drivers itself kept corrupting. I was always on the latest update but it just kept going out. I recently switched to the 4060 and well, just like my 1650 i have yet to have any driver issues 👍🏽
@@EternalCRTN I'm using nvidia right now I had a game assassin's creed origins which crashes on 3 versions so I just used the most stable one. then I just waited a new update where the game doesn't crash anymore. I'm also aware that the game is more optimized for amd cards.

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. 👍😁
They're great cards. I have a 7900 XT (Hellhound). Most of my games run at 140FPS or better.
I switched from a 1080ti to a RX6800 and never looked back . Waiting for the gen to come out to upgrade.
amd just has better care overall for its customers, between the 40 series burning issues, and nvidia locking 20 and 30 cards out of dlss 3.0+ [which people have spoofed cards from the 20 and 30 line to say theyre 40 series and then dlss 3 worked] and then nvidias horrible driver updates that cause shadow play to sometimes break if you dont update the driver.
it just seems like its all a cash grab, nvidia gives 0 shits about what card youre on unless its the newst and best one, then theyll short you some vram just to release a super series with the appropriate amount later.
amd might be rough around the edges but at least their cards dont fall off to time as hard.
Both are good cards, Have the 7900XTX Merc 310 and a 7800XT. Also still have a 1060 and 3060 12gb around (it's nice that it doesn't draw a lot of power).
Same price less performance bad drivers 7900xtx just doesn't make sense over Nvidia 4080s.

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.
Nice choice. I do care about RT but I'm not supporting nvidia. The 7900xt is selling like hot cakes since the price drop due to the 4070 ti S releasing (its true purpose lol). At mt local Microcenter all the 7900 xt are sold out.
Nice upgrade! :)
You should've gone for the nitro+
It’s a powerhouse !!!!
I have XTX and don’t care about RT but it’s getting implemented now in more games right inside the engine
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.
honestly this is the reason why I'm intending on going amd with my next card. 10gb has absolutely held this card back its whole life imo. i feel like dlss only matters to me BECAUSE of this horrid limitation
Welcome to another planet were 10GB of vram is not currently enough. The DXR performance of the 7900xtx is not that big enough to call this an upgrade over the 3080. More like a side upgrade and thats the current DX standard. Raster performance can be good but these days its DXR performance that matters more. AAA games are ray tracing going forward and require good upscaling and frame generation. AMD are still a full generation behind in ray tracing and still dont have AI upscaling. Hell TV's Im looking at have AI upscaling. The whole AMD 6000 series had great VRAM sizes and they are all obsolete because of poor ray tracing performance and no AI support in hardware. Their raster performance is nothing now. You can still run all games on a 3080, you cant on a AMD rx 6000 series card because performance is not there.

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.
Not a lot of people know about this but I've _seen_ the impact it can have, glad to know I'm not crazy haha
Just use higher resolution, that will fix your bottleneck. Who plays 1080p with a 4090

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.
Thank you for your detailed personal feedback! :)
I'm happy to hear you're happy with your 7900 XT.
It was very smart of you to buy a GPU that will maximize your monitor, very few people even consider that aspect for some reason and go way overkill

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%.
I have a 3080TI(MSI) with a 5900X, I find it's pretty quiet & not too much heat, but I do limited FPS to my monitor refresh rate so it's Acer X34A Ultra wide 3440x1440 @100Hz - although it can put out some heat if I crank up settings on a demanding game 👍
less power consumption?? When using amd???
Isnt that, like, the only disadvantage of having an AMD card? That it draws a shit ton of watts?
(Im all AMD here in a tiny lil bit when my next paycheck comes through, so I'm not shitting on anything or anyone; .... except NVIDIA tihi)
Seems a little weird.
@@SkyLiink he is talking about overall power consumption, Intel 12700k + rtx 3080 will consume more power than 7800x3d + rx 7900xtx and also it is easy to undervolt both cpu &GPU using amd Ryzen master & amd adrenaline software.
Thanks for sharing!! 12700K + RTX 3080TI is my rig.
Same. 7800x3d + 7900xtx.
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.
Lies
@@MoZz..I beg your pardon bot?
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.
DLSS is not lowering quality at all anymore you cant see the differents and without it and Framegeneration RT woud never be possible if we look at the poor gains in RT power a 4090 isnt much faster in RT then a 2080 TI what happen is the cards got faster in Roster performance giveing more room for RT but RT it self didnt get much improvement on its own just to demanding
The second gen of AMD raytracing has already been tested by every major RUclipsr that covers GPUs (Jayztwocents, Paul's hardware, LTT, Hardware Unboxed, Gamers Nexus, etc.) The results are always the same, that card has the raytracing performance of a 3080ti (not witjin a mile of a 4080 lol, still loses to the 3090, 3090ti). They haven't even caught up to Nvidia's second gen RT performance, let alone their third gen.
Path tracing is no issue at alll using dlss and frame gen. Im running a 4080 super with cyberpunk at 80fps at 4k
@@xythiera7255I completely agree. Using dlss is remarkable and does not sacrifice quality. Lets you use higher detail retracing and PT. Albeit even a 4090 I’ve seen framerates almost halved, but still great framerates.
Funny HWU has 7900xtx on par with 4080 in UE5 Lumen techpowerup has 7900xtx on par with 3090ti overall in RT so another nvidia shil exposed.There is small channel on YT that shows 3090ti and 7900xtx being on par in heavily optimised for nvidia Cyberpunk.Side by side not just some made up graphs.
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 Jumped from 2080 Super to 7900XTX Asus TUF and ohh boy i am so happy
That's a great jump. Congrats! :)

@@officialyashvirgaming i have a I9-9900K and a 850 Watt PSU and it works fine.
Underclock the XTX a little bit and it will only consume between 200-300 Watts, so you should be fine. Because sometimes on stock clock it takes up to 425 watts in some scenarios
@officialyashvirgaming yea that will be Plenty. I own that power supply with a 7900xtx and never had a problem. The own time the 7900xtx draws a lot of power is when you OC it.
I would just skip the 12VHPWR GPUs.
I think in a few years (probably for r9k) amd will also switch for the connector
Put too much pressure on that connector and the connector itself broke loose, too gently and it melt due to improper connection, it's a catch-22 really 😂
Yep - that is way too risky to gamble on that poorly designed garbage & your GPU go up in smoke 😮
Don't forget that AMGreeD followed with the pricing so, skipped new video cards completely. Might buy a used 6800 XT or something and upgrade from my 970. Or RDNA 4, it's supposed to be more of a refresh with better power efficiency and price but who knows.
@@Hito343 I am also looking for a 6900 XT or 6950 XT (depending on model) on the local used market. Until now I've managed to snag a 6900 XT Nitro+ SE for around 450 Euro, for my friend. The best part is that it wasn't even used too much. It works like a champ.
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.
15%?😂 25-30% difference. Definitley not 15%. Lol.
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 👍
Thank you so much! Your comment made my day.
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.
7800 XT. Good 4K performance. Enjoying it so far
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.
How is 7900xtx on 4k gaming at 120? Is it smooth?
@@kevinbronson6869 right now I’m on my dad’s old (5 or 6 year old) Samsung 32” 4K60Hz monitor. And I love my XTX. I’ll be getting the Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 in late April or Early May.
@@KevinKnightCanDanceYou need frame generation and upscaling for high fps in current AAA games. 4k with all the effects hit hard.
@@GodKitty677 The XTX will go to my dad’s rig as soon as the 50 series with 2.1 DP or AMD 80 series if it catches up or is better. The XTX was really a stop gap measure until a GPU can really handle dual 4k at 240hz. It was cheaper to go with that than the 4080 and want to save a little for the new monitor.
@@KevinKnightCanDance4k@240 is hardcore. My nVidia card cant go above 144Hz.
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'm sorry to hear you had to deal with those driver issues. Of course you're right. No one should have to deal with issues like those when paying such a premium price.
Strange, maybe it's a Windows thing. I've had the 7900XTX for 9 months and in Linux I've had 0 issues with 4 monitors, 2x1440p(75Hz) in portrait mode, 1x4K(240Hz) landscape mode in the middle and on top 1x4k(30Hz) landscape TV display. I've gotta say, I'm really happy with the results, but it really is a shame you had to go through this.
@@BrotherPatrix Yeah, that does sound plausible. It wouldn't be the first time Windows caused issues with drivers and vice versa. Hopefully everything gets sorted out sooner or later for people that are stuck with their choices.
@@BrotherPatrix Aside from fan controls. OverDrive drivers weren't implemented until kernel 6.7, other than that 7900 XTX on Linux is pretty great.
Best of luck on the connector.
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.
Bruh. What a waste of an upgrade.
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.
I have the TUF 4090. Its a metal brick but the cooler on it is the best one out of all my GPU's and I have quite a few other high end ones.
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 bought the MSI RTX 4080 Super 16G SUPRIM X and I avoided the 7900XTX...

@@travislindgren7158 I know the differents between GPU's but the RTX 4070 in my Asus Rog Strix 18 is giving me more FPS with DLSS and Ray Tracing on then on my desktop with a 7900XTX with Ray Tracing on. Intel seems to give more and stable FPS.
fluid motion frames is nothing to sleep on
It's mixed for me. I didn't even bother with AFMF1 over Lossless Scaling, the recent preview drivers for AFMF2 are a massive improvement though. That said, it depends, in most cases I prefer Lossless Scaling frame-gen. Some games work better with AFMF2 than others but in general I get more 'artifacts' on AFMF2 and less stable frame pacing, but it definitely beats out Lossless Scaling on latency in most cases. But both implementations are making steady improvements, especially over the past few months, it's an exciting development for sure. In most cases I'd rather just bump everything to absolute max and lock at 60fps frame-gen up to 120fps instead of making compromises in the settings.
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.
So far it's been running great! :)
Ray tracing is a gimmick for at least 2-3 years. You cant expect Ray tracing to be a "feature" of a game when you need a 4K gaming Rig to actually enjoy it properly, even Unreal Engine is still fleshing out the Ray tracing technology both in quality and optimized performance. So for at least for 2 more years it will never be considered a real feature but a case specific use case.
@@sadasd-n2ftry out lumen on amd 😂 on top of that half these games coming out like helldivers for example are really only easy to install on nvidia and been having problems even launching on amd.

@@sadasd-n2f i got an amd card, but nvidia cards are just ..better, they only consistent down side i see on nvidia is less vram and shitty prices, isnt just that?
@@patozarantonello8572 both sides have their ups and downs. the 4080 and 7900xtx are very close performance wise, so it is just extra features that you would be looking at. And what you intend to do with the card, along with what operating system you will be doing it on. Some games run better on AMD or Nvidia. It basically comes down to knowing your use case. I run a 7900xtx because I play mostly raster games, I don't value dlss at all, the card is/was cheaper, and I am using linux.
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 had a 3070 Ti, the main problem was the shitty low vram. I replaced it with a 7900XT and gaming on high res is way way better. Worth the purchase for the vram alone compared to shitty 8gb.
I went from a 3070 ti on 1080p to a XFX Merc 319 7800XT on 1440p & I'm gettin a good bit more fps on 1440p. Hell of a card. Id do it brotha
You'll get about a 50-60% uplift.
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
As it should be, use the graphic that fits your needs the most, no matters the brand
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.

@@SvalbardSleeperDistrict yes , i have dual boot but very rarely use it .
That's odd, I went from a 2080 super to a 6800XT and boot into grub just fine and use it as my main bootloader since I can just select windows from grub. Happy you got it sorted out!
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 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
What? xD
@@CYRUS_DeVeRaKe his comment is pretty clear if you did a blind test in regular rasterization you would never be able to tell the two gpus apart. both 4090 and xtx are so powerful in regular rasterization that even with lets say a 20% performance difference you would never be able to tell 280 by 240 fps without a fps counter.
@@zackmandarino1021 we use the extra power to run DSR or 200% resolutions or RT games theres a huge diferrence running 200% resolution 4090 vs 7900xtx

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.
Lmao you have a computer for each game?
@erickalvarez6486 nope...2 pcs...one is strictly for ray traced titles...the other is for high fps. If you truly look at the 7900xtx it mimics a 3090 ti. Power draw, ray tracing, size...it's just a little faster. I replaced my 3090 ti with a 7900xtx because I wanted an air cooled card...my 3090 ti was lc...and had 4 years on the aio. So I sold it to get a 7900...and it's nice for what it is until you turn on raytracing....frame gen helps out...but that wasn't an option when I got mine.
you could sell both cards and get a 4090 haha, best of both worlds, maybe one of the pc’s too
@rawa7851 that is true...but I plan on upgrading the 4080 to a 5090....and selling the 4080 for about 700 bucks to some lucky buyer.
If you can affort both why not getting a 4090 in the fist place to have the best of both worlds
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.
same here, refunded my 7900xtx when black myth wukong benchmark came out, terrible RT performances with 7900xtx and disappointing raster with lumen (around 4070ti level of performances), AMD doesnt seem to be doing well with lumen.
Got a refurbished 4080s ProArt, amazing cards allowing you instal both gaming drivers as well as studio drivers (drivers for professional apps), totally silent, amazing gaming performances in 3440x1440. Also DLSS is just magic, looks better than native TAA.....unlike FSR (i recommend using XeSS upscaling when available for amd users, looks definitely better than FSR upscaling).
Issue with AMD is that there are too much games their cards are underperforming and you find the 7900xtx getting only 4070s/4070ti level of performances, and FSR is kinda underwhelming technology compared to AI based upscalers.
Good choice 👍🏼, I also change from nvidia to amd 7900xtx sapphire nitro , and my cpu is 7950x3d all runs just perfect. Very 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.
FSR 3.1 has improved the image quality quite a bit to that might be a closer battle when it's fully released in titles.
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.
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.
Personally since I started getting into PCs in 2015, I've always had AMD in my personal rig. R9 390

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 +/-
"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.
Yep, had damn near the same experience with 2 different 7900 XTX. MSI and XFX. Had to send both back. Really tried to like it but it just wasn't happening. Returned to rtx 2070 for zero problems.
Coil whine and driver issues are the skeletons in NVidia's closets that nobody speaks about. Literally every one of their GPU's has coil whine. Some, like my 1080TI, practically has its own podcast it's so loud. Also, NVidia's been using 20 year old software that IS the slowest out of everybody's. And for the coup de grace, GeForce Experience likes to have it's own issues with installing drivers. GPU's all have issues, regardless of who makes them. People are just more comfortable with their green team cards.
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.

The reason why am i switched from Nvidia just drivers and better fps per dollar. Had before very many Green GPUs like from Riva TNT2 :). Than GT9800, GTS 250, GTX 580 (Which burned 2 times LOL. ) than GTX 1050ti ( yeap yeap ), Than i bought RX 5700 and i fall in love with AMD drivers. Than i bought 3060 ( sold my RX 5700 for 700$ which was bought for 250$ KekL) than 3060 ti ( again sold 3060 for 900$ which was bought for 600$ DOUBLE KEKL ) and i cannot accept this bery BAD and uninformative Nvidia drivers. They are just crappy bad. After i sold 3060ti to my friend for 230$ and bought mine RX 6700XT for 210$ and happy as hell. It works nice, The driver has never crashed in mine 7 months~. Well this is mine story, and i think u just got unlucky purchase. Just give it another chance. But if u dont, good luck with buying a new good card :)
i recently switched from a 3070ti to a 7900xtx mostly for tripple a games. after finishing most of them i found myself in an awfull position since playing competitive games especially cs2 is a straight disaster with amd
playing 4:3 leads to insanely stupid problems with adrenalin where none of my settings would work and would consistently reset. this lead to a ton of crashes and me having to switch back to my 3070 to be able to play comp shooters again while not having to worry about adrenalin - resetting my windows never helped and it remaind a mistery to me why adrenalin had such issues with custom resotlution/4:3 gaming
Why did you want to play in 4:3 resolution???
In the newest driver from nvidia it's the same problem now with playing 4:3 and keeping your hz at the peak so don't update then is my recommendation
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.
HOT TAKE : Nvidia sells cards with gimmicky terms like DLSS and "Frame generation". AMD sells cards that blast frames at native resolution without needing cheap tricks.
Nvidia in my oppinion now that im bering serious, has let their ego and their market coverage go to their heads. They know people will buy their cards, and they know that they have people trained to accept sub par, or overpriced cards because they have created these "gimmicks" to pick up the slack where their cards fall short.
AMD gets a bad rap because their drivers used to be extremely volatile at times. Yes they have a high power draw, yes they have a little higher thermals. But you would come to expect that from a card that doesnt rely on ai frame generation and dlss to artificially boost its performance.
But the cards now a days, price to performance, dollars per frame, should have nvidia sweating.
And no. RTX isnt mainstream enough to include in this argument.
That's not a hot take, it's the truth. Plus they have these rabid fanbois that defend their master for some reason. Buncha 🤡
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.
It's because people were bending the cable
@BrandensOutdoorChannel Not true, some people who own the card for 1 year or so are experiencing this melting.
The only reason i buy asrock 7900 xtx are because at the time its about $1000 and the 4070ti are $1200 in my country.
It was for me with the Sapphire Nitro+. It chews up most games and runs the AI applications I want, while I get to keep both of my kidneys
Due to the ridiculous price of 4080 I went with a 7900XT and couldn't be happier with hardware/software.
After the immense cringe with nV$d$a and its gigantic cult I will never touch them again.
Cult? You think AMD is any better? Both companies limit their supply to keep prices high. Both companies ironically are run by two members of the same blood related family. All this proves is that AMD might be product fixing with Nvidia, and Intel might be the only one to cause their duopoly some problems.
I am actually thinking of going team red too. Im just so sick of companies charging premium prices inflation or not.
AMD also has less gpu driver overhead limiting the cpu.
I have the 6800xt tuf gaming edition card and I'm very satisified with it @1440p resolution. I see no reasons to upgrade tbh
That card is solid and you can easily wait a generation for more of a performance uplift for your money.
@@ZenAndPsychedelicHealingCenter 💯
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
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.
Personally I would have gotten the 4080 super, similar price but you get dlss and improved av1 encoding
I use a 1080ti even for VR.
I dont even think about the day when I would purchase other GPU. No rush!
Haha, nice! :D
100ti is still a BEAST, but you will care if the next API Doesn't support the 10-series cards, lol. I was on a 2080 super for a while (marginally better performance than the 1080 ti but with 3GB Less VRAM) and I agree it was an awesome card, but if you ever decide to go 1440p there is no way you would make it with a 1080ti, not unless your fine with a 40 fps average lol.
how does a GTX card perform against DLSS 3 RTX 40xx series oir FSR3
@officialyashvirgaming you talking about fake FPS here. All I care is about RAW power. If the game can't run without fake ass gimmicks, than it does not worth even a cent for 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
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 :(
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
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.
Well, you chose to get AW3423DWF.
New 4K OLED monitors are coming, maybe there'll be one with G-Sync.
Due to dealing with static content for prolonged periods of time, OLEDs were out of the question for me, so I went with XG321UG.
Can't say I'm disappointed, blacks are very close to OLED on that monitor.
As of now, I'm where you were. Deciding what "team" to get.
I'm very happy with my RX 7900 XTX
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.
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…
Ive recently upgraded to a 13600k, 32GB DDR4, and am contemplating what gou to get (currently on a A770 as it was free), thinking 7900 GRE?
I run a 7900 GRE. Especially if you get a model where you can give the VRAM a healthy overclock, it's a great card in terms of performance for the money. Just avoid the Steel Legend GRE. It's got a good overclock on the core clock to begin with, but VRAM overclocking on that card is not good at all. Other models will give you more headroom in that regard.
@@ZenAndPsychedelicHealingCenter thanks so much for your info & experience. I'm after a white one and therefore was considering the Steel Legend but instead, with your advice, will look to the Sapphire Pure
upgraded yesterday to an xtx from a 6900xt yesterday for VR, i couldnt PIN my quest 3 at 120hz for vr racing with the 6900xt, not a max graphics at least.. the xtx however, keeps thins at about 110 and up basically maxxed out. Love it. only paid 800, too
3060ti died, had an A770 16GB LE temporarily. 7900 XTX with a proper PSU is really good.
Why didn't you plug 3 separate 8-pin cables to your 7900 xtx?
You dont have too, and if you think you do you're wrong.
Went from 3080 to 4080. Hot good salee price for my 3080, only had to put €250 extra. Also bought a 90° connector for the 12v. So Far no problems at all. Was in doubt for the 7900xtx, but happy as it is.
Hey i don’t know if you are still using the 90 adapter but thats one of the main causes of the melting gpus, you have a 4080 not 4090 so the power is lower but there have been some reports of the 80 burning. I would just use the connector that came in the case if i were u with ur gpu. Cheers!
From rx570 4gb to 7900 xtx, love this card paired with the 7800x3d
My 4080 has had no issues
Making a video about buying the arguably third best (cheaper) option ???
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.
How’s streaming with this card finding it hard to find any good answers
I loved my 7900 XTX coming from a 3070, it runs flawless I can run anything at 4K ultra even with RT enabled. I could not justify spending the extra $300 on the 4080 or $1500 for the 4090! There’s was also the fear that this card was the last high end from amd.
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 mean theres only 3 options that make sense really.
1. You want a gaming laptop, Nvidia is the only option available.
2. You want a gaming PC, AMD is the only option that makes sense unless you feel like blowing out cash for no reason
3. You want a PC for editing, design, and all that stuff that requires a good GPU and ray tracing and all that stuff AND you want to play on the side, The the only option is Nvidia
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!!!
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.
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!).
4080 super is more expensive than 7900 rtx nitro+ and 4080 in my place T-T
There's nothing wrong with the 12vhpwr cable. Any problems are rare and within normal tolerances of failure.
they have recalled many.
That was Cablemod. Not Nvidia@@aeroflopper
You can tell this entire channel is Bullshit when you have a 7900x3d consistently outperforming the 7800x3d😆
Dude there's no issues with the power connector, I've had a 4090 since release date. You ran out of money, and you admitted it.
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.
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
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
Nvidia has been kicking customers with their high prices and limited memory for a while now, but in the other hand I've had so many issues with AMD systems in the past three years that I just cannot mentally move over it yet. It's great that AMD is in the game and kicking competition to up their game.
I am rocking my xtx with an 5800x3d. Wondering if i should move to am5 with an 7800x3d or anr9 7900x3d
7800x3d is better price to performance and actually beats it for some random reason in a multitude of tests.
Nicolas, I'm so glad you made this video
Oh, thank you! :)
i switched to AMD last year and have 0 problems with it at all and got it for a fraction of the price over Nvida
Although I am not an expert, nor do I have a RUclips channel, nor am I a creator of technology content. I have 4 graphics, all tested on the same PC, with a Ryzen 9 7950x3d and with 64 GB of DDR5 RAM: RTx 3060 ti, RTX 4070 ti, Rx 7900XTX and the RTX 4080 super. Therefore, if I can say, without repeating what someone else repeats or without repeating what someone else tries. Nvidia's are excellent graphics, they are the best in fact, the RT theme, especially in the 4000 series, is spectacular. I don't use technologies such as DLSS or frame generation, it seems to me that games look bad when applying that. I liked playing in 4k and the 12GB of VRAM is not enough to move many titles to that resolution, without rescaling. The 4080 super has 16 GB of RAM and in many titles it goes very well, very few get to fill that VRAM, but I recognize that without technologies, those 16GB can become a limitation in the middle term. The RX 7900 XTX moves the RT well, not as much as the 4080 super, but well enough and without FSR, or frame generation, in pure raster. With the 24GB of VRAM of the 7900 XTX, the aging of this one will be slower. In summary, I can give my opinion on both brands, because I have tried both, I do not rely on RUclips videos or the opinion of a friend or acquaintance and many times that is what many lack, to be able to create their own opinions. I like Nvidia graphics more than AMD's, especially because in productivity AMD's have limitations, but does the everyday user really use so much productivity software today? Those who do AI or machine learning, in short, must choose Nvidia, the rest of the mortals, any of the 2 solves and the price is the determinant, with some considerations of how the games look, although sometimes it is very subjective. If you can, take the test. Without knowing what graphics you are using, play a demanding title and have someone you trust change the graphs on your PC and try to distinguish which is which. You are going to be surprised.
as someone who has a 3080ti, and then recently got a new monitor with a bigger resolution (3440x1440), I'm starting to feel like I need more gpu horsepower. I'm not interested in paying $2500 to nvidia. I'm very interested in a 7900 XTX but I'm not sure about which manufacturer. I have been buying nvidia reference GPU's and putting water blocks on them. How many watts does it pull in a game? with my 3080ti undervolted and overclocked it goes up to 400W but never over that at 1v
Sapphire nitro+ all the way, no need to water cool it either, the stock cooler is amazing and silent. Partner 7900xtx cards will run about 400w at full load in games, you'll be able to raise the clocks a bit within stock power envelope with tuning.
@@PineyJustice thank you very much for the recommendation!
Added bonus to Piney's comment from someone who has both teams gpu's - AMD's software and drivers are currently vastly superior to Nvidia's, both functionally and stability.
@@kurgisempyrion6125 As someone who works in IT and is the go to guy for a lot of friends building/fixing pcs, I've seen plenty of wacky stuff on both brands, although nvidia's side tends to be more catastrophic while AMD has more but smaller issues that usually have workarounds. In the last 15 years, nvidia has released 2 generations of cards that have fatal memory issues (600 and 20 ti) and released drivers that brick cards twice, while AMD had the very buggy 5700xt launch and the very buggy crimson driver when they converted from catalyst, but both were fixed in time. Right now both brands are very stable, but nvidia still has a lot of gremlins with multi monitor, a trend going back all the way, and their linux drivers have been trash for the last 15 years.
Love my 7900xtx 24gb gpu. Even with rt on, I’m getting smooth fps. Currently playing Hogwarts Legacy with graphics set on ultra and rt set to high. 1440p. I’m getting a solid, smooth 120 fps. I’m very satisfied with my purchase.
For an end user the plug is ok. For a reviewer that plug is a nightmare they wear out fast (even at launch the plug was only rated for like 10 installs before the adapter weakens and failure becomes more likely). Wise move to avoid it for a test bench GPU.
I went from a 3060ti to a 7900 GRE, no regrets
Bro i have a doubt Is there any difference in image quality comparing amd and Nvidia or both r same?
I use to run nvidia fore years. I had gtx 1060, then rtx 3070. Last year I got rx6800xt for cheap (I earned money after I sold 3070). I'm very happy with 6800xt. Runs great, it's quiet and fast. I haven't had any issues with it.
i just don't know if i could trust spending so much money on another amd card. i have a 6700 build and the amount of times the drivers corrupt or crash (sometimes multiple times a day) just leaves a bad taste to me for amd
You know you could always use the old version, even nvidia have this problems not an amd specific issue. If your current version is outdated could be fixed with driver update.
@@demon6937 that's the thing. The drivers itself kept corrupting. I was always on the latest update but it just kept going out. I recently switched to the 4060 and well, just like my 1650 i have yet to have any driver issues 👍🏽
@@EternalCRTN I'm using nvidia right now I had a game assassin's creed origins which crashes on 3 versions so I just used the most stable one. then I just waited a new update where the game doesn't crash anymore. I'm also aware that the game is more optimized for amd cards.
