I just bought a Radeon 6900 xt graphics card a few days ago. I lik AMD graphics cards a lot better than Intel or Nvidia because AMD graphics cards have no issues with communicating with 4K smart televisions. It's so awesome that I can now use my 4k smart television as a computer monitor.

XFX: My time has finally come, my patience and suffering is finally starting to pay off......

[@yesnoyeswait4306]

XFX has had hard time from the beginning. XFX was actually Nvidia's AIB-partner untill 2008. When XFX started make AMD-cards too, Nvidia banned XFX and stopped the partnership. That was another pathethic move from Nvidia, ''play with us not AMD or you are done with us''. Nvidia is one of the most harsh capitalist companies there is.

[@ploed]

Looks like the only AMD AIB who learned from his past mistakes. (Yes I'm looking at you Asus)

[@yesnoyeswait4306]

@@ploed True. XFX has improved a lot. Asus is a joke with AMD. when was a last series of AMD-cards, where Asus nailed all the models? Sapphire is best AMD-AIB btw. Don't remember any fuck ups, and they usually have 5/5 coolers, and still decent prices. Asus Strix has usually great coolers, but prices are way too much.

[@ploed]

@@yesnoyeswait4306 yeah sapphire makes really good ones, never heard a issue with them. Compared to my Asus Strix Vega 64 with shitty QC. The XFX looks in my opinion really good.

Gaining 4fps is significant, unless you just play games.

[@Erowens98]

It's significantly if you have at ultra high resolutions (4k or higher) where 4 fps might be a 7% improvement. But Nvidia has a memory bandwidth advantage there.

[@Erowens98]

@@Gandalf721 I disagree. Getting an extra 5 fps does make a difference when you're averaging 50.

@@williams7084 What does you wanting 120fps have to do with 50fps at 4k? The whole shit they were talking about was the 4-5fps gain rather than lowering graphical settings to achieve a closer framerate to 60 in 4k. You can lower graphics and overclock all you want you'll never go from 50 fps to 120. You literally added nothing to the discussion but state your preference, which imo no shit anyone would prefer 1440p 120fps let's say over 50fps 4k, but that is besides the point of the discussion.
