Sponsor: Lexar Thor DDR5 RAM on Amazon https://geni.us/AuxUm9We bought a PowerColor RX 7900 XT Hellhound for $720 recently and we're revisiting it for a 2023...
7900XT Taichi owner on a 7800x3d system, chose it over a 4070ti after my 3070ti hit the VRAM wall at 3440x1440 in a few AAA titles, wasn’t going to let Nvidia get me again. Card is an absolute beast. Half the time I find myself capping my frames to 75/90/120 pending game, and my system purrs while sipping power and temps cooler than a polar bears toe nails.
RT performance is adequate, rarely even needing upscaling to achieve 60+ fps at 1440 UW. Cyberpunk looks nice with RT and I can run Ultra RT with XESS and have a nice look and feel. But you know what feels great and looks great? Running the game maxed out, no RT and getting 120+ fps on my DWF QD OLED. OLED is a bigger boost to fidelity than RT is by far. Save some money on your GPU and get an OLED.
By the time RT is standard 3-4 years from now, I’ll be upgrading my GPU anyways. RT is nice in some games and I do like to turn it on from time to time, but we just ain’t there yet. This card is fast af so upscaling isn’t big for me either just get. AMD does need to figure the shimmering and blurry shit out, but rn, for what I need and what I’m getting? Happy as a clam. I have nvidia in another system in my house and don’t have a “team”. Will probably look to upgrade GPU around 6000/9000 series releases and see where each company is at. Rooting for Intel too.
If you wanna target 4K Instead target 1800p and use RSR to make the image look a bit sharper. It works really well and in my experience, you get a crisper image. With some TAA nowadays native 4k can look a bit blurry imo
