[@antoniocampos1151]

I have sold my RTX 3090 and bought a RTX 4070ti Super. Overall it is a good card. The problem starts when I have played Indiana Jones and the great circle. That game is a VRAM hog.. I can not play it max settings with full RT, in UWQHD resolution without triggering VRAM limits. I have to lower settings or use DLSS, which looks quite dogshit compared to DLAA. I had already the RX6800 previously and I had a great experience. I might buy the RX 7900 XTX to try out since the prices in the used market (where I live, at least) seem to be going down.

bad idea the ultrawide you need 30% more power for the same resolution but in 16:9, so no wonder why 7900xtx or a 4090 is too weak for some guys :D

Why? In RE series RT is pretty light (just 5% penalty on RTX cards and 10% on AMD cards), but still noticeably enhances visuals. Metro Exodus is another great example of decent RT implementation - even 4070 can run this game at 1440p w/o any issues. In SotTR, DD2 and SWJS RT is pretty easy to run too (GPU-wise).

Ten was happy to be able to sell the cards. Always driver issues, video card messages with driver time-out and reset to default. Happend to me countless time. With Nvidia i never had any issue. Same with Ryzen cpu's. Having 2 ccd's and Windows is always chosing wrong. Very inconsistent performance. AMDip...also one thing that is very prominent. Buying AMD with ddr5? Going back to the 70's with booting times. 30 to 45 seconds before mem timing is done if using EXPO! And AMD advises EXPO to be turned on on their website. I know that all for own real experience...not BS crap you fanboys tell eachother. Now running a 14700KF and it runs great. XMP on takes 10 sec to get a boot signal instead of 30 to 45 sec! And as a tweaker i set my 14700KF in perfect conditions. Undervolted and VID limited to 1.275 volts. Does not reach over 80c in heavy benchmarks. During gaming it is between 50 and 60c. Cinebench r23 33500 points multi with 183 watts power use! During gaming usually between 50 and 60 watts. My Nvidia 4080 super is lightyears better then any AMD card i ever had.

I'm an AMD CPU fan since the k6 architecture. Intel sucks big fat hairy donkey balls. Currently using a 7800x3d. But when it comes to GPU's there is no way around Nvidia. Their cards are on a whole another level. Especially the software/drivers. Everything just works! G-Sync works flawlessly with every game, DLSS makes the game look better with more fps. And not to forget the raw Rasterization power. The overall feeling is much better, the games feel more responsive, more smooth. Radeon GPU's on the other hand have many driver issues. Games feel choppy, you have stuttering, you have screen tearing despite freesync. And in most cases freesync does not even work. The game crashes or hardlocks the entire pc with activated freesync. Don't know man, had so many issues with amd cards. I was wasting more time trying to run a game than actually play it. But not so with Nvidia, it just works!

I saved money to pay for a Steam backlog that I will never get around too. I run through almost everything 144 at 1440 on high settings, and that works for me. I don't have crashes, errors, or really any problems with the drivers. I wish AMD would make a 8900 or 9900 XTX but they decided to go a different route.

With that CPU and a 7900XTX, you are right on the limit for a 750W. I would reccomend a 850W. A nice rule of thumb is: CPU power draw (around 110W in this case) + GPU powerdraw (around 360 without messing with powerlimit. around 415W with the limiter at max) +200W for the rest of the system and some headroom is the minimum.

I think what Nvidia did with ray tracing and path tracing is akin to what triple AAA studios do with their games today. They release it when it's not ready for the end user and they charge you a premium for "early access." I'm sure those lighting techniques will be great when we actually have hardware capable of running it without a huge performance loss and more games in which it actually makes a noticeable difference. But as of now it still feels like a gimmick.

[@ganxtaful]

The real question is what else will release in 2025 forward that I won't be able to play? Because everything released this year runs since you have last gen GPU :D. I'm still playing on 2080 with Lossless and i run dragon age veilgiard in 180 frames, star wars survivor 210, gow ragnarock 190-200 etc. and all in 1440p, but i really want to change the GPU 😂

[@Frogboyx1gaming]

We still have 1440p to fall back on

[@HoretzYT]

i ordered a 7900XTX Nitro + for 700eur including VAT (its returned and unpackaged), still waiting for it because of christmas holidays but the upgrade from my 5700XT Nitro+ is going to be great also the argument of DLSS, AMD will in time improve FSR so that it would be as good as DLSS. RT? i can barely see a difference in some games but i can surely see the difference in performance with and without RT

[@Frogboyx1gaming]

Oh wow that is going to be a massive upgrade 😳

[@robb5023]

RT/ Path tracing in another 5 years maybe worth it. The FPS need to be over 90 with a high mid range GPU that cost under 800USD. Maybe then I'll get on the RT train. I just bought a hellhound rx 7900xt for 640. 700 with tax. My PC upgrade cycle is 4-5 years.

[@Frogboyx1gaming]

Not a bad strategy

[@christopherbartleson8918]

still rolling a 3080 Ti, and I'm still happy with it, it will probably be a few years before I build a new PC.

[@Frogboyx1gaming]

Hold out as long as you can my friend.

[@christopherbartleson8918]

@ I’m rocking a 12900k and 64 gb of ram, bought the only thing I’ll be doing for upgrades is more SSD space, can’t say I want to upgrade the CPU. So yeah, I think I can wait for quite a while. I’ll probably build much smaller computer next, so it will be more portable.

[@TimWard-v6e]

i now have a 4090 i had 6000 AMD card and it was good but was not stable it would reset to default drivers all the time screens would go black i would reboot and it would be on old drivers

[@stefensmith9522]

I have a red devil 7900xtx, custom watercooled . it looks awesome and runs amazing. I love it and didn't spend 1 thousand ,2 thousand or more dollars for it. I dont have a 46"4k oled $8000 monitor so ray tracing at 4k settings is not on my priority list. I've had ZERO issues with the card or the games I play. AMD does ray tracing well it's just not as fast as nvidia's $2500 flagship...for that much money you can have a KILLER custom pc with a graphics card fast enough to run any game you play at over 60fps. We don't HAVE to pay thousands just for a graphics card that in NVIDIA's eyes will be obsolete in 2 years.

[@Frogboyx1gaming]

Exactly brother most people don't realize just how great the AMD experience really is until they fully use it.

[@kaukey]

On a 3090 i didn't really want a 7900xtx and I was planning on buying AMDs "8900xtx". I could care less about Raytracing. Well...looks like AMD is going to drop the ball again. Hopefully I'm wrong and they release a card worth upgrading to.

[@Trampus10-4]

What are your thoughts on the 9070 xt? If it is not par with the 7900xtx I will be disappointed. AMD will need to produce more 7900xtx’s.

[@Frogboyx1gaming]

I think you should manage your expectations for it and treat it as a Midrange card designed to replace the 7800XT

[@Trampus10-4]

@ I agree with this assessment. This series is not about competition for AMD. From what I have seen it’s a possible botched attempt at stack chip-lets that didn’t quite work out. 🤷🏻‍♂️ although it sounds like they have fixed that and we may see an entire new version for 1k series.

[@zorikh779]

I built my new (ish) system 3 months ago and i got a 7800x3d and picked up a 7900xt for like $650. All my friends give me shit cuz im the AMD fanboy lol But it's such an amazing card and price to performance is crazy!!! So happy with it and just chuckle along with them when they tease me. Great video (first one i've seen of yours) and keep em coming!!!

[@mattrichardson2451]

Great card. Currently running Cyberpunk 2077 with pyscho Ray tracing at generally over 100fps with dlss enabler mod / xess / framegen and it looks and plays great.

[@Frogboyx1gaming]

Absolutely my friend you will love Today's video it's coming soon.

[@ryue5626]

I have a gsync ultimate monitor , if i get a radeon will the vrr still work the same ?

[@justicedemocrat9357]

Yes it will I'm definitely not lying to you.

[@WhoAreYouQu3stionMark]

I have a monitor that has g-sync because I originally had a gaming laptop, it works nicely with my 7900XT and I dont even notice the g-sync even with the previous laptop i've had

[@gedeuchnixan3830]

If you´re a gamer first you don´t care which name is on your hardware, just if specs and performance are what you expect for the money you´re paying. Brand loyality? Are they paying us? Why should any gamer be brand loyal? Screw that, I have X amount of money for part Y and certain expectations about what part Y should be capable of for what I pay. Intel, AMD, nGreedia I don´t care just like Gigabyte, MSI etc. .

[@FinneyGames_BBG]

Thank you! Good video 😁 I was an NVIDIA fanboy until I watched videos about your 4080 Super experience. They were like mine, and I was thinking my card kinda sucks lol. But I still have it, I want to try the 7900XTX. I wasn’t an extreme fanboy, but I was close minded.

[@Frogboyx1gaming]

Honestly brother the best thing you can do is Try both and simply decide for yourself which is right for you. If everyone is just blindly saying get Nvidia and no one actually tried AMD there is clearly a bias. AMD delivers a similar experience to Nvidia for less money you can often get significantly more power and VRAM for your money therefore giving you a better experience overall.

[@FinneyGames_BBG]

@@Frogboyx1gaming That’s true! I want to get an XTX to see how it goes. I highly doubt I be dissatisfied.

[@maximus2el]

I have the cash for a 5090 regardless of the price. I bought the 2080Ti and 3090 when they were released. Almost got the 4090 also, but snapped out of it when Nvidia did not enable the older cards to generate frames. I did not like that sales strategy.

[@peterbush9722]

Sticking with my Asus Tuf 7900 xtx . Ticks all the boxes for me .

[@Franco_Spanks]

I’m content with my 7900 xtx. But I’m also rooting for intel’s gpus. My wife isn’t a gamer but might need a pc so I’ll aim to build her one with a battlemage

[@grantmackinnon1307]

native resolution always looks better then upscaled. if radeon can catch up to dlss on the quality of upscaling, they wouldnt be much of a reason to go with a 4080 over a 7900xtx.

[@zeick9]

I built an entire pc with 14900k and merc 310 7900xtx, for the price of the 5090 fe

[@keonabryan6439]

Used My 480 8gb from amd day one and in 2024 was when I change it to a 6650xt and I happy amd rocks

[@MarioP9511]

They will put RT as requirement that you can't turn off in new games.

[@fried_funk]

I switched from a 7900XT to a 4080S (I play at 1440P UW) for the RT thing, one year later I'm willing to openly admit I'm regretting the wasted money.

[@Frogboyx1gaming]

You didn't waste money brother you paid dearly for a valuable lesson. Look RT is nice but it seems like it's a never ending upgrade path LOL. All the developers need to do to cripple your current card is add more rays indefinitely.

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

Great video. Thanks for your Honest and Straightforward ibnformation.

[@_aPaladin]

I think you're missing one component in your pricing estimate, the market is projected to slow largely by the 3rd quarter of 2025, it's been the estimated recession will affect Americans the hardest. If anything that will mean spending power will be at it's lowest, as it will cost more to survive than the spend on non-essentials. If the tech companies don't want to face the same layoffs as gaming companies did in 2023-2024 they would have to adjust for it.

[@c523jw7]

Ray tracing celibacy..you can thank me for that term 😂😂

[@Frogboyx1gaming]

I made this video for you LOL 😆 😂 🤣

[@c523jw7]

😂😂 Seriously its what you said.. the new card runs the old pt games. It's just the cycle. Watch the 80 and 90 struggle to still run new pt games. It's getting ridiculous..make tech your hardware can barely handle and make people pay extreme money to experience it. Problem last gen was AMD were too close priced to the nvidia cards still. I hope amd actually don't price close to nvidia. Very disappointing stuff in all of this esp nvidia

[@orlandogastelum1539]

I got a 4090 but it’s nice too see all the good options for graphics cards.

[@shadowbreaker6027]

maybe the 5080 will be like a 4090 copium

[@edhorseman2237]

Most people's argument for Nvidia is the hardware based upscaling. I'm looking to build my first PC next year and Nvidia is not an option I'm looking at simply because of their sales strategy.

[@anitaremenarova6662]

Good thing I don't care about 4K, got myself a 4070ti super and it handles highest RT just fine at 1440p.

[@Sawoen]

amd has much darker color tone on global illumination and my eyes is sensitive to light its good

[@MiriOhki]

I upgraded from a 2080 super (that I lucked out getting 3 months before COVID hit) to a 7900xtx early this year, and I’ll be set for a few years. Honestly, with the price leak vids I’ve seen the last few days, all I’m feeling is schadenfreude.

[@Frogboyx1gaming]

Exactly brother you will be more than satisfied.

[@MiriOhki]

@@Frogboyx1gaming When taxes come back, I just need to get a 9800x3d, mb and ram, and I'll be set for several years (On 5800x atm).Though even the 5800x+7900xtx combo has been running decent. I can even run Cyberpunk 2077 with light to mid raytracing on 3440x1440 and still have 80-90fps, and that and Flight Sim / Flight Sim '24 are the most demanding games I run, so I am content.

[@The_Lesser_Evil]

Just buy used 4090 if they're sabotaging their new products by offering so little in terms of value. Maybe you can get like 1k or below idk

[@CasualtiesOfGaming]

With nvidas pricing and what amd is rumored to be doing, I guess I'll be sticking with the 7800xt.

[@sparda9060]

Vast majority of people playing PC games are on low end hardware that are generations old. They can't afford the high price of Nvidia products tbh. AMD and intel has competitive prices for low end and mid range GPUs that plays very well for 1080p and 1440p max graphics with high frame rate on native resolutions. Hell 1080p and 1440p monitors are very cheap and affordable now, you can get a good one with curve, HDR, freesynch, 120-180hz refresh rate for under $200 now. So $120-$200 monitor + $260-$330 GPU is a great pairing. Plus AMD has insanely good gaming CPUs for cheap, AM4 5700X3D $180 or less plus any B550 motherboard or $90 and DDR4 32GB RAM for $52 is crazy good. Put it all on a $90 750watt power supply and you are good to go. Thermalright ARGB 3 fans for $17 and Thermalright Peerless assassin 120 CPU cooler $30 and $60-$80 PC case and its a complete build for $1000 with a RX 7600XT, you can play 1440p max graphics for long while.

[@Frogboyx1gaming]

You can build a great budget PC for sure. AM4 is still really good and have X3D chips that are great

[@danielabbott9312]

I have a 4880 and a 7900 XTX at my 4080 has been collecting dust for a while now

[@JaySosaNY]

I'm running a 7800xt and 7800x3d I'm happy with it Nvidia just charges way to much for the high end cards and then the low and mid tier cards are overpriced and not enough vram

[@CarlosMartinez-iw3lj]

I’m rocking a 7900xt and to be completely honest, I don’t see a good reason to upgrade to anything that will be coming out , especially if it’s going to run over 1000

[@Brandon-n5f]

On a 4060ti I could never get above 95-97% usage. 7900XT 99-100% usage. Yes I do believe there is a algorithm in the drivers that cuts the card back in certain scenarios. Yes the Colors on AMD are superior. I wasn't Happy with the 97c Hotspot temperature on the 7900XT. I had to take that sucker apart and install a Thermal Grizzly Pad on the die. 88to 90 is better than 97. The Nvidia Cards will be limited supply at MSRP. There will be plenty of stock on EBAY many $$$$ above MSRP just like the 9800X3D.

[@thomasprins5689]

use to have nvidia now for 2 years i have a amd nitro 7900 xt you are absolute right on everything and i was a nvidia fan not anymore creedy as hell people play games and if they make the price so high the biggest group cant pay the much to buy the card so they cant play on nvidia yeah low and cards maybe nobody that are gamers want that amd should be marked leaders now they deserve it wake up gamers

@Frogboyx1gaming is ray tracing just not good with some games? Or is it just so demanding that no card can handle it perfectly? Gimmick?

[@curt_whargable]

@@dcb6729only the top tier nvidia cards can fully utilize ray tracing. Their mid ranges don’t really perform that well even though they charge for it.
