Why I Went AMD And Got The Sapphire Nitro Radeon Rx 7800 XT 16gb GPU

[@BearfootBob]

AMD is slowly removing the reasons to go Nvidia. They improved encoding this gen, improved RT, improved AI performance, and now FSR 3 is starting to look comparable to DLSS. They also just improved their fram gen drivers. Those are all significant improvements over the 6000 series.

[@WELSHYTECH]

Also, being cheaper helps a lot more like I say in the video how nvidia can justify almost £100 difference is nuts

[@officialyashvirgaming]

@@WELSHYTECH Hi were you playing on what resolution 4k , 1440p or 1080p

[@WELSHYTECH]

@@officialyashvirgaming 2560x1440p

[@Liminal_space_is_dead]

And mainly they have more power for $ efficiency

[@WELSHYTECH]

@@Liminal_space_is_dead yep

[@rugby187gaming]

Yep, I went for AMD GPU this time round too as I have zero interest in RT (while performance hit is still too high imo) and price to performance on AMD for raster is way better. Enjoy your new GPU dude.

[@WELSHYTECH]

completely agree with you bud and thank you

[@chobitsotaku5613]

Built my first ever computer last week using this GPU and the Ryzen 5 7600x. Pretty happy that I had no issues and everything is working fine, also runs every game I want at 1440p, most of them with nearly max/max settings and pretty well too. Temps are also pretty good. Might sound stupid, but truly the happiest I've been especially upgrading from 7yo laptop with an intel i5 and gtx 1060.

[@WELSHYTECH]

awesome bud

[@MatthewCEBamber]

I went to AMD for the first time on my GPU in a decade! 7800xt is epic!

[@WELSHYTECH]

It's a great card coming from a 3070 it's a great upgrade

[@eTeknix]

Thanks for the mention. Glad you like the card.

[@WELSHYTECH]

You are most welcome bud

[@philipthavenius9801]

I've had my eye on the rx 7800 XT Hellhound, glad it's treating you well.

[@WELSHYTECH]

I didn't like the hellhound I'm happy with this one

[@clonzelda1]

I upgraded from a gtx 980 to a rx 7900 xtx. the drivers were a little buggy at first, but now im so stable, great temps and I cN max everything at 1440p.

[@WELSHYTECH]

Awesome bud 👍

[@philipthavenius9801]

That's one hell of an upgrade!

[@pakjai5532]

I went AMD because has better price to performance. Saving 1k on the gpu allowed me tk put that money on to other parts of the system.

[@WELSHYTECH]

Honestly I went AMD Because I don't use RT And I'm happy with my purchase

[@reflection8599]

Thank you mate. I'm currently using the 1070TI and can just about play 1440p 144HZ games. I just bought this same GPU off scan for £499. It is on offer today. Appreciate it!

[@WELSHYTECH]

Well that's one hell of an upgrade and you will not be disappointed this card is just amazing and you are welcome

[@JahonCross]

How can they make this card so dam fine at a decent price is insane!

[@WELSHYTECH]

I completely agree with you

[@markusTegelane]

I think what's really going on here is that Nvidia cards are overpriced lol

[@dieaking6475]

This card has been amazing so far play on a 1080p 280hz panel in VSR 2560x1440 or 3200x1800. Games running like butter

[@WELSHYTECH]

Yeah it runs everything I play so I'm also happy

[@realnamesnotgiven6193]

I'm on a 6700xt. It's still doing well so I'll keep at it.

[@WELSHYTECH]

Nice 👌

[@gauravsinha6060]

I have exactly the same card and it excels in almost every game in 4k and even 5k in some good old titles as Assassin's creed rogue and Syndicate at 60 FPS raw. To those titles that end up with less than 50 fps in 4k, AFMF could come into play boosting twice the fps without any loss in visual quality. Consequently, I prefer AFMF more than FSR. I was to go with rtx 4070 and 4070 super and then I heard about this card being an excellent value.

[@WELSHYTECH]

I completely agree 👍

[@chriskautz3245]

Going AMD AM5 on my ITX build . Just to see how it compares to my AM4 build with an rtx 4070ti . Cannot recall the last time I bought an AMD GPU in all the 35 years , I have been building

[@WELSHYTECH]

I have Both AM4 and AM5 AM5 is definitely better

[@spencerleg]

I'm too much of an amd fan boy so I'm extremely bias but they do have the best prices for what your getting and thats why I'm a fanboy

[@WELSHYTECH]

I ain't a fan boy of nvidia or amd but for £100 cheaper than the 4070 it beats it in most titles

[@wayland7150]

If you wanted a budget card then I think Nvidia's RTX 3060 12GB is very good but other than that it's AMD for me.

[@deividasnavickas]

Literally just went full AMD myself. 7900xtx Nitro+ 7950X3D. 1. Nostalgia - My first PC in early 2000 was AMD custom build. And it was an absolute soldier that I still miss. 2. Support AMD - it's autistic to ask AMD to match Nvidia when they don't have the market share. So I'm willing to put the money for better products in the future.

[@WELSHYTECH]

Awesome 👌 how you liking it

[@WELSHYTECH]

Awesome, I'm glad it helps. I don't regret buying it

[@dustybiker9602]

Nice choice I've also just upgraded from a 2080ti that I never used RT on so went with a 7900xtx as Im using a 1440 ultra wide. Not my first AMD card but glad I switched bk

[@WELSHYTECH]

Same here bud last amd card i had was in 2011 so a long time ago what model of the xtxt did you get

[@katherynet1424]

I've had the 4070 i found the performance mediocre with ray tracing it's nothing spectacular, even though one tech news site gave it GPU of the year over the 7800xt. Ray tracing to me is only worth it from the 4070ti upwards. This will probably change when the super series is launched? I just had a 4070ti develop a fault, so I'm currently using the hellhound spectral white 7800 xt so I've switched to AMD for now.

[@WELSHYTECH]

Yeah, probably will change when the super series comes out, but if you only game and don't care about RT, then the 7800xt is a fantastic buy

[@paulrobinson7881]

Got the same buddy really pleased always had sapphire cards BEING a linux user this replaced my sapphire rx 5700xt nitro which ive popped into my daughters for sims 4 she's pleased

[@acidhburn]

I have changed from a GTX1080 to the Asrock RX 7800 XT Phantom Gaming Wanted the steel legend but the Phantom was a better price. Love the card cool and quiet. Even tho I have a G-Sync monitor still went AMD and I probably will in the future. Nvidia-s pricing is a joke the 4070 at my palace cost 70$ more and have 12GB mem ( just checked and prices come down in 2 weeks now it is the same but only the 2 went models, I would still choose the 7800XT today)

[@WELSHYTECH]

Yeah, I completely agree with you it's why I went 7800xt also since I was upgrading from a 3070. I've seen a big improvement

[@SlickNick19]

Looking to upgrade my 2060 super to this card. Never used an amd gpu in my life lol. How has it been for you till this day? Would you recommend it over the 4070?

[@WELSHYTECH]

It's a fantastic card can't fault it if you don't care about RT then get this

[@lclnbm]

My experience with AMD recently has been nothing short of horrifying. From buggy Adrenaline software to completely broken drivers. I've just about had it with their low end products

[@ovemalmstrom7428]

If I didn't go Arc to support more competition in the gpu space, the rx 7800 xt would be my preferred choice. Perfect price/performance in 1440p. 👍

I'm simply sick of Nvidia prices. They don't make it possible for gamers to buy their products anymore. I mean, almost $2500 for a 4090. GTFOH! And the cards they do sell for less aren't nearly as good as the AMD line and still, they overcharge those too. I'm also gonna go with AMD. I'm done with Nivida. Just done.

I picked up a Sapphire Nitro Pure (White one) cause my buiold is Beautiful and wanted to keep it :) Anyways, first card had Memory issues.. had to return it. 2nd card picked up yesterday after 2 week wait. Tell ya mate, Everything looks So Much Better compared to the water cooled 1080ti , night and day almost. I run 4k mostly and wanted the ability to have that Upscale option, Freesync, all the other frame gen stuff that came with the Radeon etc. I couldnt care less to use RT and what Really sold me, when comparing the 7800xt to the 4070ti or 4070 being really close in performance was the Price compared to. average diff in price bwteen the 40 series and the 7800xt was $400 ... for almost the same performance. No Brainer there. My only gripe is im having Driver issues. Im wondering if its this pos asus board I have, x570 Pro.. its been a Nightmare since day one. I have no choice but to yank the battery out when I install Any expansion card, be it USB or GPU. Never works out of the box. Other than that Im sure ill eventually be happy, going to test out my b550 / ryzen 5500 and see if thats more stable. I see you guys having those boards and not having issues like i have..

@@WELSHYTECH it barely lowers performance but often makes big difference in power usage and temps, less wasted power, in easiest way, just go to adrenalin, custom, and reduce voltage by ~100mV, do 2 runs of haven or something, if stable, it's ok also good way to make everything stable is going to windows power options and disabling quick boot, it often boots system before drivers, and drivers get info there was an error and remove undervolt to prevent harming system (in case you did OC and made it insane, or undervolted to the max and system can't be stable enough to show image on screen)
