AMD vs Nvidia?! - What Should You Buy! (RX 7900 XTX vs RTX 4080 Gameplay Benchmarks)

I actually disagree with what most KZbinrs are saying about the coolers. I rather have it be a little over built to keep it cool and quiet while gaming. But that's just my take.

[@iamjames8200]

I agree, but these cards are getting a bit over the top now. They can be overbuilt but not to the extent of some cards.

A note on OVERCLOCKING: It takes a lot of effort to dial in the overclocking on high end cards nowadays. You have to undervolt the GPU to stretch out the efficiency curve while slowly bring up the Minimum AND Maximum clocks on AMD GPUs, with trial and error. I had like 2-3% over on my RX 6800 before I started using undervolting, putting in the time and was able eventually to get 8%-11% consistently. I think this is why we are getting different reports on the ASUS TUF 7900XTX OC reviews. Techpowerup seemed to emphasize the undervolt as a necessary part of the overclocking potential, therefore they had good results.

[@gunturbayu6779]

[@MadClowdz]

Agreed. GN did a good video on OC'ing RDNA2 a while ago. I used their settings as a starting point for my XFX Merc Black 6900XT, and I get sustained 2560mhz in-game and a nice performance bump. With AMD cards, you have to find the sweet spot for min max clocks, they can't be far apart, only a few hundred megahertz, and leave the VRAM alone and undervolt.

[@marine6680]

RDNA cards actually gain performance from undervolting. Increase power limit, bump up the gpu and memory clocks a bit, then start lowering the voltage. The card will start to maintain its boost frequencies for longer, as it isn’t bumping against the power limit as much. Apparently people are seeing 10%+ gains of actual in game FPS. Depending on the specific game of course. Benchmarks don’t show much of an improvement at all though.

I just ordered an MSI 4080 after way too much struggle and back and forth. It largely game down to availability. Going up to a 4090 would have also required a new PSU, so beyond being impossible to find, the cost difference was a bit more for me than most. I was planning on a 7900 XTX with 3 8 pin power adapters, but couldn't find one. The rest of the parts are sitting on a table ready to go together, and I didn't want to spend time indefinitely trying to find a card online, or driving for 5 hours to hope for luck at a microcenter. So early next week I get to finally put a new PC together, and I'm looking forward to it.

I figured I'd get a new PSU when I built a new machine with the new power connector, but the one I got this spring will support a 4080 so that PSU and some fans are going into the new build. It only has 3 8 pin PCIe cables which is enough for an XTX or 4080,. but not the 4 that the 4090 wants. Even still, I'd pop for the new PSU if I could just buy a 4090. But I want a functioning PC again before break, and I don't want to spend an hour per day indefinitely trying to find a 4090 at MSRP.

I got a TUF 4080 OC a couple weeks ago. Yes it's expensive but I sold my 3070Ti for 1/2 the price of the 4080 so the upgrade cost wasn't that bad in my case not to mention availability, good thing the 4080 doesn't sell that well it's relatively easy to find one. If I had to buy the 4080 outright without having sold my other GPU I might have highly considered the 7900XTX, it's too expensive on it's own. I've been using Nvidia cards for over 10 years so I feel more "at home" with Nvidia but this new 7900XTX is no slouch either, you can't go wrong with either card and I'm glad AMD can stick it to Nvidia, competition is always good for us in the end. I'm really happy in the end with my 4080, kinda won at silicon lottery as well, it OCs very nicely almost at 3.1Ghz and my PC holds 1st place in 3dmark Timespy for a 9900k/4080 setup but I don't run it at that speed for everyday tasks/gaming.

hi! i'm actually on the fence between these two. i'll be using them for work (architectural renderings and other 3d stuff), and of course gaming. is the 4080 still better despite having less vram? also, if ever i'm on a budget, will the 4070ti be worth it?

[@AvroBellow]

The 4070 Ti will never be worth it as long as the RX 6950 XT is still on the market.

[@Bunderwahl]

If you just play games, nothing else, and if you just want speed without the best visual effects, and if you are planning to buy another graphics card in two to three years the 7900 might save you a few dollars. If you want to use your computer for productivity and creative purposes, if you want to enjoy the most immersive atmosphere (raytracing and DLSS), if you do not want to have to upgrade later because more and more titles come out with raytracing (some possibly required) then you might want to shell out a few more dollars/pounds now.

[@carrionwithout_me]

And according to the benchmarks: the 7900 xt is the GOLD STANDARD for mid tier set ups right now. You're not spending over $1k USD on a graphics card and most monitors @ 4k 144hz do not need over 150 frames. The price per frame compared to the RDNA 2 cards is only £.50 more and that's a steal in this current market. Most non competitive, non content creators should jump on that card if they have the money. Your 12400f will play those games around those fps no problem too!

[@martygenska8117]

I really do like these reviews on graphics cards because I'm pretty close to pulling all things together to start my build. My question is, have you ever considered getting an Nvidia card directly from Nvidia? They actually seem to have the best price; especially when it comes to the 3090ti and 4080.

[@slavefeet57]

I recently tried to get one directly from ASUS and it was a nightmare lmao. Hopefully NVIDIA isn't as bad. (I had 5 orders get cancelled on me during processing) I eventually decided to go through Amazon/Newegg. Got super lucky and found the OC TUF 7900xtx at retail being sold by Amazon!!!

[@malikon6953]

I bought my 4070 FE directly from Nvidia. I have to confess though that lately I've been using an AMD GPU and I'm very happy with it. Really thinking seriously about picking up the 7900XTX because it seems to be beating the 4080 in a lot of benchmarks.

[@jayandjlps]

I just got a 4080. I would go for the 7900 XTX if it has more features like dlss and frame generetion

[@slite3276]

Apparently they are adding their own version of frame generation in a few months.. now will it be as good as dlss 3? Most likely not.. and fsr2 is almost as good as dlss 2 so i mean ur paying less for almost the same which isent necessarily bad.. but if u want to spend $1200+ for the 4080/4090 i respect the power u got but i honestly think that these companies should learn that higher gpu prices should not stand. I mean whenever i finish college and get a decently good job (cyber security) i will prob drop $4000-$5000 on a build, but that might be around when the RTX5000 series/RTX6000 series coming out

[@attackofthewindmills]

How much are they?

[@villedajose]

I wanted a xtx but couldn’t find it anywhere so I just got the 4080 instead😊

[@lawyerlawyer1215]

I think you made the smarter choice . Both cards are extremely overpriced. The 4080 jumped from the 699$ for the 3080 to 1200$ And the 7900xtx , considering it is in the same tier as the 4080 , with pretty much the same performance, it is really a 7800xt Wich was 640$ for the 6800xt. So it’s also very overpriced. Let’s be honest , at 1000$ you are past the price-performance territory. You are in the “I want the best” territory. And personally, considering how many raytraced games are coming , paying 1000 wich in reality will be around 1200$ because msrp is nowhere to be seen . And having to see your card get wrecked when activating Raytracing. Is annoying As for dlss3 AMD hasn’t said anything but that fsr should come next year. No date , no info. That’s bullshit They also said that the 7900xtx was going to be from 50% to 70% faster than the 6950xt And it ended up being like 35% So … so much for blindly believing them then…

[@yellowflash511]

I would never buy 4080 if it was 150 bucks or more, more than the XTX

[@dragonld123]

Those benchmark results try to compare Reference 4080 with AIB 7900xtx or Reference 4080 vs Reference 7900xtx? It would be nice to see Benchmarks of RoG Strix 4080 vs TUF 7900xtx.

How good is the vx7900xtx in VR?

[@MrEditsCinema]

Cheapest RX 7900 xtx was £1050..I just got a RTX 4080 the other day for £1150. If the 7900 xtx was £250 cheaper I would I have atleast considered it. An extra 100 pounds for a much better stable card overall..much better Ray tracing (nice to have) can use both DLSS & FSR..some games don't have both options (best of both worlds) frame generation is really good for single player games too The worst thing for AMD is drivers the vega 56 and 5700 xt I had where solid performing cards but the drivers where absolutely awful..take too long to mention all the issues I encountered. My first nvidia GPU was a rtx 3080 in 2020..even day one I had zero issues ..with the 5700 xt I had issues with 6+ month's

[@Jack_Sparrow131]

Vega 56 and 5700 xt drivers were hit or miss.. already used to have GTX 1060 & GTX 1080 cards.. I jumped to RX 6800 in 2020, & sold it & got RX 6800XT in 2021 & it's super stable for me since 2020 to this day The cheery on top is that both 6800 & 6800XT OC well & I got around 8% fps boost (from 2200MHz to 2500MHz) Nvidia cards are good choice, but they charge like 20% more for same performance (raw power) that's why I skipped them 20% is not big deal.. but when we talk about like $1000 , then yeah it's a big of a deal ($1000 Vs $1200)

Rastersation multiplayer is my main thing these days. Mainly PUBG tbh. A little Doom Eternal, which looks great without RT anyway. I prefer more frames-per-second than fancy lighting. I just want a card that can fill the frame buffer of my 3440x1440 monitor so I don't see any dips and it's buttery smooth the whole time. Still weighing up if I want to go AMD this time or atick with NVidia. Anything is an upgrade compared to my 1060 6gb ...

[@adrastoso9727]

As everyone is saying, it comes down to ray tracing for platform gamers like myself; if your multiplayer AMD is the best option because you will be running games at 1440 to get over 120fps that you will want, and raytracing is not a good option. For platform games, there really are only a handful of games that have it, but that is increasing with games like Witcher 3 that are coming out soon. AMD can pull it off, but not like the 4080 and the 4090 beast which sells for no less that $2,000 from what I’ve seen! Given how this card will not be beat for at least a year, I’m Thinking the price will not go down let alone below MSRP making this card not worth the cost for anyone who doesn’t have over 2,000 to shell out for a GPU. Right now xfx is selling the 7090xt for $899, which is surprising for a new GPU considering everything else is selling a good $200 over msrp! Problem is I still cannot find the 7900xtx right now, so I am wondering if that card will come down to its msrp of $999, and if so that would make buying the 7900xt a bad buy; but if it doesn’t, then the 7900xt could be a great option for the lowest cost new high end GPU! The 4080 I do think will drop down from 1,400 to the MSRP of 1,200, but will it drop lower……

just for the apex bit: you dont need a 7900xtx to run at 1440p 300fps. I was testing my new cpu and old gpu (7950x3d + 2070s) and hit those numbers. albeit, gpu maxed out. cpu was hitting a measly 10% usage. a 3060 + decent midrange cpu will hit 300fps @ 1440p easily. just some info for anyone that may be upgrading soon.

I'm getting an XFX XTX in a week or so and have full intentions of testing a max overclock on it. I'll check out Techpowerups video as you say they had crazy gains.

[@FeartheBoxes]

@@Beefy-Tech It's pretty simple, they raise power to the limit ( which is 20% more ), then they lower the voltage 1% at a time and when they run into issues, they bump it back up a little bit. By having less voltage, the cards higher the clocks. it's really simple, you can do it with Radeon software and MSI after burner

With the cost of electric through the roof the price to run an RTX card is the deal breaker for me

I just returned a 7900 XT in favor of a 4080, but if the 7900 XTX was realistically available, I'd probably have gotten one. The 7900 XT seems like a very bad deal, even worse value than the 4080, somehow. I paid about $200 USD more for the 4080 than the 7900 XT.

[@gohca88]

should i pair the amd rx7900xtx with intel or amd cpu? purely for gaming. which gives better performance?

[@natalyiatimoshenkova1273]

Purely for gaming, it's largely moot. At this moment, if you've got an AM4 motherboard, get the 5800X3D and drop it in. If not? Get the better bargain. 13th gen Intel outperforms Zen4 in pure multithreaded workloads. Downside is that's the end of the line for the Intel socket. Next year the X3D versions of Zen4 will arrive, which will (again, for gaming) likely stomp all over 13th gen. If you can wait three-six months? Probably worth doing.

[@Vastfill]

Honestly the deal breaker for me is that Navidia is better at streaming

I went 6800xt and then 7900xt (gave my other card to brother in law for his birthday). Reason being is the amazing performance and VRAM. I don't understand, unless you get a 4090, the reason people actually go 7900xtx or 4080 due to pricing and similar performance to the 4070ti and 7900xt expecially at 2k. Furthermore, unless budget wise, I'd never buy the 4070/4070ti due to very poor vram space for the price.
