I'm just new into the pc world... I'm waiting for prime day to build the pc. I just can't decide what GPU go for. I'm more a multiplayer, than a singleplayer guy, so i don't really care about ray tracing, but now more games are gonna have ray tracing by default but amd gpu's are not good to handle it. So I don't know if is better get the Rx 7900 xtx or the 4080 super. What you guys suggest? I'm more for the rx 7900 xtx, maybe with using xlss 1.3 rather than FSR 3.1. I hope my english was good (I'm Italian). Anyway, thank you for reading, hope for a suggestion

[@B_Machine]

@@dren I've heard more than one KZbin channel recommend the 4080 super over the 7900xtx. It sounds like vram won't bother you much given the games you plan on playing too, so I would guess the 4080 super would be the way to go.

[@asherdales]

If you can get the 4080 Super for that 1000 dollar mark it's worth it.

Hi mate, sorry completely un relatable to this video. However, I’m starting a business where I’ll be using my pc daily and need the most reliable and speed for internet. What Ethernet cable do you recommend and what Mbps broadband companies offer is sufficient enough? (For my house, not office) If you have links to past videos please link also.
