Hello 👋
This is my first post on the fediverse after ditching Reddit, still trying to figure out how it works so I may be posting this wrong, in which case my apologies 😅
After the slight disappointment that is the RTX 4070 and overpriced RTX 4080/4090, I’m looking at potentially getting an RX 7900XT. The price has dropped from ~800 in March to ~720 this month. What I’m wondering is if it’s worth copping it now that’s it’s slightly cheaper? Would it be a future proof card?
I’m not yet massively sold on ray tracing or DLSS or any of that stuff and I’m hoping that the power that card can output make up for it.
Posting here instead of making a new thread.
If a 7800 XT existed then I’d look into that first but right now £700 for a 7900 XT seems okay for an too high end. I worry AI is the new crypto with regards to availability GPUs for gaming, but this time I can’t see why it would crash this time. Really feeling like I better get in while the going is good but I could be totally wrong.
At such prices it’s criminal there’s any coil whine, that’s another worry.
