[@DeadPiixxel]

I just got a 7800xt nitro+ for $400

[@PinkyTech]

It's my GPU.....

[@MMillerPCs]

It’s a pretty awesome GPU! I was impressed

[@ruizabrahan1]

Can you run some games at 4k?

[@PinkyTech]

@@ruizabrahan1 Would love to tell you, except I don't have a 4k monitor because poverty 😅

[@Bornarod]

@@PinkyTechrelatable

[@MateusSilva-ps6xr]

The hard thing to swallow about this card is that it is only 5% faster than the 6800 xt, which was launched in October 2020, that is, almost 4 years ago... even though its price may be cheaper than the 6800 xt at the time, there was no performance gain...

[@MMillerPCs]

Yeah that’s true… you do get a much better encoder with this GPU but that’s about the only other thing.

[@Scottishstorm]

@@MMillerPCs Lower power consumption, too.

[@crisr4667]

yep here i am watching this with my red devil 6800 xt waiting for the 8800xt to drop.

[@MateusSilva-ps6xr]

@@crisr4667 if the 8800 xt has the performance of 7900 xt and is launched for 500 to 550 usd, it would probably be an option... if they launched in January/2025 it would be very close...

[@gt1man931]

No one who upgraded to a 6800 anything would or should be looking at these. But if you are coming in from a 5700xt or equal nvidia GPU, you would not look at a 6800 now, it doesn't make much sense unless it is a great price on a used card. The 8800/8900 series isn't going to be priced anywhere near 500 bucks on release, bet on that.

[@Hadley-b9m]

Will the ryzen 5 5600x be able to utilise frame gen with the 7800xt and boost frames? Love the vids keep it up!

[@MMillerPCs]

Depends on the game I’m sure. Games like COD really like AMD so I think you would be okay

[@JonathanTalksHW]

It’s still a really good gpu overall, and great video!

[@MMillerPCs]

@@JonathanTalksHW I think it is solid I saw a few on sale for like $478

[@GaahlDukat]

so with frame gen should you not be using amd's metrics overlay? other overlays won't report your actual fps with frame gen

[@MMillerPCs]

@@GaahlDukat I do not use AMD’s over lay. I’m not sure if it works with frame gen or not. I use MSI Afterburner to check the FPS.

[@GaahlDukat]

@@MMillerPCs the AMD overlay reports fps gains from frame gen on a driver level, I believe that's correct. On ESO the built in FPS counter may show 100fps max but the AMD overlay reports 180-200fps for me.

[@NGreedia]

Just ordered one for not much above $400 during a flash sale. Unfortunately, there were no decent comparable nvidia deals. Will be upgrading from a 3060

[@MMillerPCs]

@@NGreedia very nice!! I think you’ll like it!

[@phantoslayer9332]

Same upgrade path here! It’s been awesome

[@NGreedia]

@@phantoslayer9332 I started using it, and it's been MUCH better in Helldivers 2 despite I was led to believe it was a cpu or game issue. I'm getting better frames on 1440p with it than I was on the 3060 at 1080p. I do have an issue though. When I'm on desktop, the screen has flickering and artifacts all over the screen at 165hz but not at 144hz or lower. Not sure if it's a fault with the card, or something else. Didn't have issues on my 3060 with the same monitor and cables though

[@BIOS_psd]

Thank you for benchmarking The Finals ❤

[@MMillerPCs]

@@BIOS_psd I’m trying to start adding it to my rotation! It’s kind of a weird game lol

[@Hadley-b9m]

Should I upgrade to the 7800xt? I have a 1660ti paired with a ryzen 5 5600x

[@itsadi2059]

Yes It would be a nice option if your work is just gaming and u have a limited budget

[@MMillerPCs]

It will be a vast improvement for you for sure. ESPECIALLY if you go to 1440p

[@Cythaqua]

Running a 7700x 32gb ddr5 6000 cl30 7800xt and I still don't turn on frame generation. It's wonky in every game I've tried it in

[@MMillerPCs]

Yeah I dont think it’s necessary. I think it’s just fun to test

[@JohnElnardCordero]

Hey bro can i ask what is better ryzen 3 3200g with rx 580 2048sp or ryzen 7 5700g?

[@MMillerPCs]

That’s tough.. it depends on the games you want to play.

[@JohnElnardCordero]

@@MMillerPCs i only want to play roblox,valorant,gta and fortnite

[@MMillerPCs]

@@JohnElnardCordero why are you wanting to use the 3200g?

[@JohnElnardCordero]

@@MMillerPCs because it has a gpu and the ryzen 7 5700g has no gpu only integrated

[@MMillerPCs]

@@JohnElnardCordero are they prebuilts?

[@charliesretrocomputing]

4:27 that's true in Performance Mode... Fortnite runs just as good on AMD when you're in DX12! Great video... the 7800 XT is an awesome GPU! A little tip - your mic audio has too much bass, maybe turn it down in your EQ settings in your editing or audio recording software :D

[@MMillerPCs]

Yesssssss I didn’t realize until after I posted it….. I am going to fix it lol my headset I didn’t hear it as much as I did watching on my phone.. typically I use my wireless mic…

[@Derpy.official12]

What about the deeply discounted rx6800?

[@MMillerPCs]

I haven’t tested it yet, but I think it’s a great option as well. If you have the CPU to handle this or the 7900 gre you will see better performance I think than even what I got

[@JonathanTalksHW]

Great video!

[@MMillerPCs]

@@JonathanTalksHW thank you !!!

[@JohnElnardCordero]

Hey bro can i ask what is better ryzen 3 3200g with rx 580 2048sp or ryzen 5 5600g i only play roblox and gta 5

[@MMillerPCs]

@@JohnElnardCordero they both going to be about the same I think. I would probably go for the 3200g and the rx 580 just to be safe… both are going to have their problems

[@JohnElnardCordero]

@@MMillerPCs oh what problems

[@itsNightShine]

@@JohnElnardCorderoperformance. These are very low end systems by todays standards and even for their time they where low end at least the cpu and igpu not the r580

[@dieaking6475]

Great card but amd deff fck.ed the sales a bit for the 7800xt compared to the 7900 gre. i did got the nitro + card wich has great performance and temps.

[@MMillerPCs]

Yep I agree completely

[@pip5528]

Apparently Fortnite runs better or more consistently on AMD graphics, especially on DX12 vhich is more stable than DX11. You also don't get the dips vith driver updates like on Nvidia. Some say DX11 is better for Nvidia but you still get more FPS disparity than on DX12 and arguably stability is more important in a competitive game. Any midrange AMD card will be a huge upgrade for me since I have a 3050 ti 4 GB on my laptop. I might prefer the 7900 GRE for not much more but that's just me.

[@user-bf5qh3ih4u]

The 7800 xt honestly is in a terrible position. The 7900 GRE is 50$ more or you can get it even cheaper if you wait. I saw. A XFX model being discounted all of the way to 430 one time.

[@MMillerPCs]

I agree!! It was sitting pretty at launch. But now not so much.

[@thegoosedaddy5753]

I would say the 7900 GRE is a better deal but the 7800 xt is still a great deal and a great card

[@MMillerPCs]

Yeah I think you’re right!
