True story, I just switched to a 7900xtx from a 4090. I hate nvidia drivers, but the final straw was the power connector melting after a year and the card maker seemingly trying to get out of replacing it (they’ve had me take forensic level photos of everything snd keep asking for more).

In my country, the 7900 xtx costs $1000. Meanwhile the cheapest RTX 4090 costs $2000. And you're telling me for double the price you get only 10% extra performance? LOL NVidia are the biggest scammers and I'm jumping to AMD only for my next build. The "but AMD DRIVERZZZ" meme needs to stop.

Yeah it's about this now in EU, 1850~ or more for cheapest 4090s and XTX can be had around 1k or less (1100 for the Sapphire Nitro at most). Value is absolutely not worth it so I expect more 7900xtx sales as a result of this. I'd rather spend that extra on a big OLED or more ram/ssd/etc.

the performance and power usage isn’t that far behind at all. Maybe 10% or so in the games I play.

this is just a lie lol

the 7900xtx competes with the 4080 in raster and a 3080 ti in rt

minimum 20% difference, maximum over 100%

You will replace your 7900xtx at some point though where as 4090 users will just turn on dlss. That's just a straight downgrade.

Deep Learning Super Smearing?

No thanks, it looks like ass in youtube videos with compression but all the reviewers 'never notice it' for some strange reason... they don't get to keep the card if they do ;)

That's not how you write out FSR.

I’m not a fan of DLSS in most games. I notice the artifacts almost right away. Look at Jedi Survivor with DLSS. Jump in front of anything and it will shimmer.

DLSS is just crutch because they can’t seem to innovate performance with architecture optimization. They have to resort to giant dies or rendering at a lower res and upscaling.
