Latency added to the list of things Radeon users don't care about. List also includes upscaling, graphics, efficiency, crack software backing, being competitive
List of things they do care about: COD fps numbers, pretending like they get more value per dollar so they can sit on their high horse over the uninformed pleb, Su-bae
Things I don't care about: Ray Tracing (mostly, maybe in a few years it will be vital), Frame Generation (misnomer, actually fancy motion blur). Things I do care about: Upscaling (I use this in every game that features it, and generally think FSR2 looks pretty good), Latency (antilag+ needs to be reenabled asap), Power usage(I used to care more but I moved my pc into a cooler room).
Obviously we get more value per dollar... ah nm you're just a troll.
Now consider EU electricity prices, 7900 XTX can draw up to 100w more than 4080 (same tier competitor).
Lets say u use card gaming 20 hours a week (insane numbers for some, extremely low for most gamers here on reddit), 80w extra power draw, 0.4 euro per kwh in Europe (Denmark i think easily hits 0.5 euro per kwh tho for example).
Thats 33 euro per year more to run XTX. Bump it to 40 hours a week (again, depends on the user but still far from what some play), thats 66 euro per year extra.
XTX is like 80 euro cheaper than 4080 in my country atm. It rather quickly becomes more expensive card. And theres the idle draw bug, which to this day happens on my SO system, where her desktop draws 100w idle on 7900XT. Never been so disapointed with a card (we didnt plan or want to buy XT but it was spontaneous decision before christmas to buy her new GPU to enjoy some new games and there wasnt much choice in physical store before christmas).
