Hey everyone, recently upgraded my CPU to a 9800x3d, now just looking around for a GPU. The currently 50 series prices are out of this world and the 40 series (in germany) is also way too expensive (over 1500€ for a 4080???).

Is the 7900XTX the only option that makes sense when looking a Price / Performance ? They're currently around 850 - 1000 here depending on model. I absolutely don't care about Ray Tracing at all and am not planning on using it. Playing on 1440p 144Hz. Always had Nvidia before but I honestly don't see the prices falling enough for it to be worth it any time soon.
