I like my 7900xtx sapphire nitro+, but I have noticed that I like the features that Nvidia offers better versions of. I think I’m definitely going with Nvidia for next gen. I really like upscaling and frame gen so that I can play single-player games at 4k without my room getting super hot. Using the auto overclocking I’m able to get above 3ghz, and most games can run 4k 144 fps max settings w/o ray tracing, but it runs pretty hot though. That matters for me bc it sits

At this time I would not debate the fact that the RTX 4090 is the best GPU out there. It is like cars. You really do not need a BMW to drive to a Walmart 3 miles away. When any brand will get you there and safely. Same with video cards. Folks with 1080p 60 hz monitors do not need a RTX 4090. Really for anything that a lesser card could do and even get the same results at a way cheaper price. There are always going to be bottlenecks in this case it is the monitor.

[@Xeonzs]

I do regret going with a 4090, I only got it because of frame gen (which AMD didn't have yet back then) and better ray tracing (which I wanted to use in warhammer darktide), but now 1,5 years later I kinda feel like selling it for like 1700 and just getting something like a 7700XT, 7800XT or 7900GRE. A quarter to a third of the price, less power draw, much smaller so I can get a small case and I honestly don't care too much about Raytracing many games I play like Rimworld, TW Warhammer, Supreme commander don't use raytracing anyway. Alas such is hindsight..

[@jemborg]

Following _ImWateringPSUs_ instructions on KZbin, I've undervolted my 4090. It's now even more responsive and saves approximately 20-30% power depending on whether I use the economy or the performance profile I set up. (I also added +1300MHz to +1200MHz to the vram respectively because it now runs cooler.) So there are solutions. PS: I bought the PNY 4090 XLR8 which fits in a regular case.

[@Xeonzs]

@@jemborg I would probably look into undervolting but I've already made up my mind about selling it. If I sell if for like 1500-1600 (a new one costs 1900-2200 in the Netherlands), it would cover the purchase of a nice SFF case, mobo, PSU and cooler plus the GPU and still have about 500 left. I'd just transfer over the SSDs, CPU and RAM from my current build and then also sell that case/mobo/PSU off for someone to use as a foundation for their own build. Good point for other people though who still want to keep their 4090.

[@GoonyMclinux]

At the speed current GPUs editing video and photos aren't some kind of massive difference which is damning, unless you are by the hour 4k video editing for a living AMD is the way to go.

[@DimkaTsv]

Actually RDNA3 is noticeably faster in video editing at comparable price. Because AMD provides 2xVCN blocks starting from 7700XT, while Nvidia provides 2xNVENC blocks only starting from 4070Ti this generation. Which is A LOT more expensive. On opposite side of scales i will put facts that 1. Unlike VCN, NVENC supports YUV444. 2. NVENC has double pass (while VCN is using lookahead) 3. VCN is noticeably worse with AVC (H.264)... Difference becomes a lot smaller with HEVC and AV1. Still behind, but not so much that people could easily discern difference. Anyways, for work people usually use Nvidia due to CUDA existance more than anything. P.S. currently transcoding movie with upscale on my 7800XT.

@@KanakaBhaswaraPrabhata iirc people don't like Premiere on Windows for example. Because it is simply unstable enough there, so companies buy Mac's for rendering.

[@themobster7284]

Radeon is more then fine, meanwhile most nGreedia cards and specially RTX 4090 are cash grab, and overpriced e-waste of cards, that always have problems like currently melting PCIex power connector, or they are so heavy (4 slots) that they bend and crack near the PCIex slot and then there are teared traces, and the damn card is for total repair.. Also some times as bonus as well as the teared traces, there will be even cracked BGA solder as well on some memory chips, even some times on GPU die as well, and this crap happens on RTX 4080 as well, maybe some 4070 with giant coolers to be affected as well... Now sure DLSS is better, but 98% of ppl wont notice shht while playing... And RT ofc AMD cant match that at all, but it does not matter much for most ppl as well, since the performance hit is big, and makes ur powerful GPU and CPU, go back to kinder garden at 60 FPS lmao, who tf wants to play at 50-60 fps in 2024, instead of 120-140 FPS... And when it comes to price too, i dont see how nGreedia can be even a choice, as for the price of 4090, someone smart can spend them on 7900XTX and get also some Ryzen x3D CPU for the same price that he will get only the RTX 4090, that will burn his house down...

You also loose DLSS, you cant ignore DLSS is still tangibly better than FSR. That said I refuse to support the RTX 4090 price point.

[@robertmyers6488]

@Battleneter The 7900 XTX and the XT have more than enough power to not need it through 4K. Even if they did it isn't that much of a difference. Motion is better on DLSS but image clarity is better on FSR. Haven't used them have you?

[@robertmyers6488]

@Battleneter I'm not opposed to the price if it allows you to do things you wouldn't otherwise be able to do. I now have a 6K HDR600 monitor. The clarity, colors, and levels of gray are phenomenal, but it is limited to 60 Hz. The 7900 XT was getting 45 native, but with FSR quality it went to 60 improving motion. The XTX can do it at 60 native. If the Monitor had a higher refresh like 120 then it might be required to have something like the 4090. All three cards have the most important feature which is greater than 16GB, but at 6K you are pushing very close to 20. The 7900XT is easily the most under rated best value card with an easy tune.

[@robertmyers6488]

@RmX. Exactly, or a QD for a bit more money. I wish they had a 27" QD OLED 240 HZ. 32" is just too low a pixel density for me. I had them for years, but Apple is correct about image quality and pixel density. When Apple introduced the the 5K Imacs I bought my first Apple. Loved the screen and the OS then was still pretty good. However Ryzen was released a couple of years later and that was a seismic shift that I couldn't ignore. So it was back to 4K.

FSR is nice for frames but man its a dumpster fire on a good 4K oled. Encoders content creation support and so is superior in so many ways. You get a lot more bang for your buck but that's why you buy a 4090 because you want all the extra support and features with it. Nvidia has its share of issues. AMD has tons of driver stability issues to its a mess. DP 2.1 is a issue and wont be fixed. Until theres a new port. The only thing AMD does better sometimes is pure raster frames and cheaper. "Catching up on software" is a strange thing to hear about AMD IMO there's a book worth of things they need to do to catch up lol. Launch sure they could be compared frame to frames. But now hey don't compete in the same realm of use case. AMD isn't even close to what the 4090 can offer and I would say price reflects that.

If you care about DLSS just buy mid tier GPU and spare your money for something else If your going to waste 1k in GPU just enjoy the native picture DLSS in games is no way better looking than the native picture I have 7900 xtx and this card is so strong that it doesn't need DLSS I could play all games 240 fps at 2k or 144fps+4k and most AAA games will reach the limit of any monitor Refresh that we have in the market Previously, I had 4070 and that card was still solid, but It will not give me 240 hz at 2k in most games without DLSS. with DLSS ON it helped but honestly, the picture was garbage most of the time I will switch DLSS OFF for me quality and the experience is much better than performance When i bought mine, the difference in price was more than 200 dollars, and now the difference is 50 dollars if your choosing between them both go for the the 4080s if you care about Ray tracing if not go for the 7900xtx which has more VRAM and that will be an advantage for future when they release 8K or the gaming industry push the texture to the limit that we have today In conclusion, don't waste your money on features that you will not use like fake DLSS when you have powerful GPU And you will not go wrong for both GPUs 4080s or 7900xtx.

Ill give him credit for trying 7900XTX for a year, tiz funny on the nvidia list though G9 57" if you knew anything about display tech you'd know that 4090 cannot do 240hz because DP 1.4 even the 7900xtx has some compression because 13.5hbr vs PRO 7900 which has the full 20hbr. That black screen alt tab would be killer for productivity adds up over time thise 3 to 5 seconds... a note i have 2 7900xtx's

[@ArtByAhri]

i can't recommend amd gpus tbh. i've had 2 and it's just a bad experience, so many issues that i don't have with nvidia. basically it's only great for games, specifically with directx games, weird visual glitches even when whatching yt videos. and i get a lot of Blue screens, and i think my last one broke and i can't even do anything heavy on the gpu without getting a blue screen guaranteed. idk if they work for you i see it as a miracle lol, and i'm glad it works for some people if they do. my latest one was a rx 6900XT btw i do recommend the cpus however. i use the ryzen 9 5900x and it's amazing the performance is so nice. i need to test it with an nvidia card when i get one.

[@JLP_710]

I strongly dislike FSR. It makes shadows in game look stippled. Maybe I’m dumb and there’s a setting to fix this, but that is my opinion of FSR.

[@RS_0_7______]

this comment is going to be enormous, don't read it, I wouldn't either ngl, just wanted to write whatever came to my mind, and I ain't hating or anything, AMD is improving their GPU performance in every regard at a very fast pace, excited to see what their RDNA4 is capable of and how they will perform in terms of ray tracing, maybe the gen after the next AMD might even be able to compete or hopefully beat nvidia in ray tracing, cuz Nvidia really needs some good competition or else they gonna keep up with their horrendous pricing, 7900 XTX has amazing performance per dollar, I aint gonna hate on AMD, they are doing amazing work, I wish 40 series GPUs were as cheap as the AMD counterparts, best GPU under 1000$, its as good and sometimes better than a 4080, but its not comparable to 4090 in most cases, but this is supposed to be 7900XTX VS. 4090 video but he talked about how 4090 isn't compatible with some monitors, HDR problems and these monitor related issues, its supposed to be more GPU vs GPU, its a big issue, yeah, but this turned into more of a monitor video, the original list also mostly states the display problems, there are issues you should consider, but you can just get a monitor that is very compatible with 4090 and this solves 90% of his 4090 complaints, I love his content, but this video ain't it, lemme give my pros and cons regarding 4090 4090 Cons: you can buy a car with that price in Raster performance, in a few games (mostly titles that prefer AMD), it's only barely better than 7900XTX while being significantly more expensive performance per dollar is not worth it Monitor compatibility is a problem many times like stated in the video cant think of anything else tbh, I'm sure there are more, but nothing that major Pros: its the fastest overall GPU right now DLSS is significantly better than FSR on every level, from upscaling to frame gen ( I don't have a 40 series GPU, I love the fact that AMD lets everyone use FSR frame gen, I hate Nvidia in this matter) video editing, photo editing, 3D work, game dev, and other productivity software, most content creation work, 4090 is better especially Blender, when you are spending over 500$ on GPUs, don't lie to yourself, you wanna use ray tracing, and you want it to run well, any AMD users who are saying they don't like raytracing or raytracing isn't even that good, either they actually don't want it cuz raytracing will decrease FPS no matter which GPU you own, or you are just tryna cope with the fact that the best AMD GPU cant even compete with 4070 in terms of Raytracing, ray tracing makes any game look better, and no one can change my mind about that if you read this, you definitely don't have ADHD

[@budthecyborg4575]

I built two gaming PCs and used 7900XTX in both of them just because DLSS performs horribly at 4K120, if I'm going to be playing at native res anyway then there's no reason to buy Nvidia.

[@grtitann7425]

Why after all this time, people keep ignoring the fact that AMD themselves stated that the 7900xtx competes with the 4080? About RT, it's the same BS " in Cyberpunk 2077". Stop, it's stupid to ignore the fact that so far, only one game is the showcase for this and does not justify spending over US$2K for a GPU. And dlss is a locking tech that limits your options as a consumer. You, as an influencer, need to be concerned in providing correct info, instead of blindly following the marketing dept material.

[@OfficialJamesNewberry]

I think you most likely stuck with 7900 xtx unless you had major issues which forced you to switch... I am a big supporter of AMD, I did own a 6900 xt, but I was very disappointed that AMD did not go for the perf crown and I bought a 4090

[@Ronin_Martial_Arts]

I have a few cards: 2 x 7900XTX, 1 x 7800XT, 1 x 6950XT, 1 x RX-3070 (Not used). And a 1080Ti...Still used

[@evilvash0]

2:04 you keep it i'll edit when finishing the video. Edit: damn here the 5090 will come out and the buyers remorse sets in for the 4090 purchase a second time. but enjoyed the video especially since I have gotten so desensitized from tech for how stupid prices have gotten, and the bad decisions companies keep making that said I think going forward AMD is still gonna be my go to since the value is just to huge vs what NVidia's offering and I think i'm going back to Midrange cards and losing all interest with High-Ranged again since going back to midrange puts me back in the cycle of get new shiny thing skip next shiny thing and consider the new shiny thing again which works with AMD sadly not so much with Nvidia since the shady things they keep doing to their customer base with changing numbers trying to lie upsell the same if not lower version graphics card and usually coming out with a super variant a year later as a middle finger as a insult basically going back to voting with my wallet

[@akilbaptiste6942]

Nvidia easily better than amd with that being said just buy what u can afford cause all y’all boasting about getting an inferior card just cause the 4090 price point is higher just come off as broke😂

I see no problem with the Windows Auto HDR for non-compliant games.

[@szlaven8254]

buy the 5090 when it comes out that ll be the best gpu and u should swap bc amd wont make high end gpus all their 8000 siries is under the 7900xtx as midrange gpus.

Same its an absolute beast of card. I think we'll see it sell out in a year and hover around the lowest retail price for a while on the used market. I'm excited to see what AMD does with RDNA 4. If its around this level of performance with better ray tracing for less money I think people will actually flock to it, especially since they're already making strides with FSR.

I hope the Nvidia fan boys keep selling their kidneys for their Nvidia cards. This less demand on Rx series means a cheaper price for us normal folks.

The moment you said you did OC 20%... Dude almost no one will do it so... AMD said that they will not made high end gpu anymore. So for you there can be no alt path.

well, I was going to buy the 7900 xtx, but it was sold out instantly, so ended up with a 4080 instead.

[@julienlauzon1106]

I did the same mistake, i sold my 4090 with profit like 6 months ago, for a half priced 7900 xtx, and after only 3 day's ive returned the shit amd gpu, it was super shit in 4k, cod mw3 was having stupid artifacts issues, just sinciraly trash product, i rebought a 4090 and everything as returned amazing since. It's not the first time i lost my time with an AMD product, i tried to build myself a 7700x system, and it was 1 min boot time each time put on the pc... its was juste trash. i returned to Intel at that time. but for me my experience with AMD is half and half, half really good and half really bad, my family pc have a rx 460 in it for 1080p and believe it or not its running extremly smooth any game at that resolution, few years ago i had a rx 6800xt and it was really great and smooth experience. But with Intel and Nividia in 20 years, i literraly and totaly honnestly never had any any any of thos major problems... I'm curently on a 12900k-4090, so happy to choose 12 gen over 13 or 14 lol anyway great video dude!

Oh boy, you are screwed brother. The Nvidia bros are going to be leaving my comments section and heading for yours. Someone in my community told me to check out your channel.

[@Jackjack1978.]

Of course he did it for clicks, this is how he makes part or all of his living. I'm guessing he was also was personally interested in how AMD performed vrs Nvidia, but at the end of the day everyone's KZbin videos are created for views and clicks for monetary gain. A year ago, when he first sold his Nvidia Card for AMD, I immediately clicked because I was thinking "what an idiot"..lol But, I'm glad he did it because I was interested in seeing just how bad of an experience he was going to have. So at the end of the day he provided value for me and made money off of me. Perfect example of capitalism.

[@shrillduck4199]

one thing that people don't talk about i would love for you to turn on Virtual Super Resolution and put your games to 8k and tell me how it looks as long as its certain games when using the Virtaul super Resolution it will not in pack performance at all but some tiles it will i think if AMD works on there Virtual Super Resolution there will be no need for upscaling since AMD is superior at downscaling that people don't talk about why have upscaling when you can downscale 8k to 4k looks 100 times better. so if you want to upscale to 1440p or 4k set desk top to 1080p and play your games in 1440p or set desk top to 1440p and play your games at 4k and you will see the dif in quality. i have no clue why no one talks about AMD's downscaling its all about upscalling

[@Roll_the_Bones]

The thing about RT, is that it's great on the 4090, but below that card, it destroys frame rates to the point it's not worth the trade-off for a bit of extra bling. For First-person Shooter games, RT and DLSS etc are no advantage. The 4090 is without argument, substantially better than the XTX. But is the 4090 worth twice the price of an XTX? No way, it's great but not THAT great. Anyway, I got an XTX direct from Amazon, on a very limited flash sale, for 780.00, so no contest! Edit: ASUS Tuf version.
