Buy safety razor. Going from safety razor to disposable ones was one of the bigger downgrades for men care.

They are superior in basically every way.

offtopic totally but maybe actually getting features rdna3 was supposed to get.. like antilag+ or fsr3 thats printed on boxes for months but only exists in two glorified tech demos right now.

AMD this generation is the clear winner on the gaming side which is great because it is something we have all needed in the industry.

Ugh i had love hate relationship with my X3D chip, constant usb disconnects, RMA'd both cpu and mobo and it didnt change. Just like with gpu (and i dont have particular favorutie brand as i had both amd cpu and gpu in the past 2 years~), going AMD is always risk of annoying, often unfixable issues that may or may not happen. Like nowadays when u buy new AMD GPU its 50/50 if u will experience idle draw bug depending on your monitor setup and 50/50 if u will experience paste pumpout/hotspot issues and will be forced to RMA/repaste brand new card. Mental.

Obviously we get more value per dollar

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).

offer more predictable quality.

So hotspot issues, paste pumpout issues etc? :D

Electricity in EU can easily be 0.4$ per kWh depending on the country. If we assume 80w difference, 14h per day and 0.4$/kWh u get about 140$ per year.
