Quote from: Sav on December 14, 2022, 11:41:01No idea why this article compares a $999 USD card to a $1600 USD card. AMD has said they are not competing against the 4090 with the 7900XTX. It's meant to compete with the 4080 and it trades blows with the 4080 quite well - especially considering price points of the two cards. RTX is still kind of gimmicky unless you are on the 4090. Try RTX with any other card and the FPS hit is not worth it. There aren't even that many games that support RTX, nevermind the ones that do it well. Personally I want great 4k quality as I play on a big screen TV, so the 7900 XTX just seems to make the most sense($). I'm not justifying a $1000USD pricetag though.
It's always the same cope with AMD fanboys: When there's something good that AMD cant figure out how to use it, it's not good or necessary (AVX512, RTX). But when AMD suddenly jumps in with a proper implementation, now it becomes an industry revolution.
Also, if the 7900XT is their top of the line card, how is it not supposed to compete with the 4090? Price looks different but thats more due to Nvidia being greedy than anything.
Thats like saying Intel released an i9 to compete with a 7700 and not the 7900.
