I don't understand buying cutting edge brand new computer parts. You don't have a couple years of it on the market to work out the bugs. It's like paying a premium to beta test hardware and software engineered by pajeets. There are no games even worth playing that can take advantage of it. I upgraded from a 1060 to a 4070 Ti last year and it's still overkill for any game worth playing.

'kay. People play on higher end settings and displays.

I only play on 1440p but I can certainly see people wanting to play 4k+high fps.

Im kinda in the middle. I use 1440p, I dont play too many new games but I'm big into VR so running those smoothly matters to me. I care a lot about price-performance more than raw performance, so I'd probably go for a 4070 or a 7900 XT. However there are pixel peepers out there man. Some people get off on knowing they have the top of the range, are at 4k, maximizing everything... Those are what the market caters to now :( Being a beta tester is basically part-and-parcel of using modern technology

Maybe you could future proof your build for the new few years.
 
It's pretty much my only choice because of the discontinuation of the 40 series from Nvidia. I do not understand why AMD refuses to compete with Nvidia. That's definitely worth an investigation.
 
It's generally better value than the 5070ti (unless you gay trace and use blender) but
implying prices are real
implying supply is real

price will no doubt creep up at least $50 or $100 over msrp, for at least a few months

Games hardware requirements are limited by current console hardware wich is soon to hit it's fifth year on the market.

So it's more akin to entering the Nissan Micra Cup in a Le Man race car.

Plus most reviewers will test on the highest ultra preset of the games they test which most people won't be using anyway, up until recently (2020 onwards) you could've had a good looking game with a few performance hogging settings turned down or off but we live in the era of fake frames and AI shit so devs can't be ask to optimise anymore :roll:

Still no meaningful upgrade from a 3090 Ti award

I live in a hell of my own creation

I have no upgrade path that won't burn my house down and cost more than my car, and I must tinker

It will be downgrade compared to 7900xtx at raster but improvement in Ray tracing (which is imo one of the blight of modern gaming) but still 2 generation(?) behind from nvidia... So no, 9070 XT not gonna save gaming it just going to be a good enough card.

We are all stuck in this Hell because AMD refuses to compete with Nvidia. Though for me, either one is an upgrade to my 3060.

Yeah it sucks. The 4090 has this stupid little electrical cord that randomly slides out and crashes the system and can catch fire. However, it's 4k or bust for me and there are some games like Black Myth Wukong or POE2 that won't run at 4k144hz even on a 4090 with maxed settings. Willing to pay the price of a crappy car though for something I use every single day.

I really want a lot more unified RAM for running AI stuff. I dream of the day I can get a Mac mini or something to run DeepSeek R1 locally.
 
I think AMD in a catch 22 situation... They want market share first to have a solid foundation for halo product, but the consumers does not want / trust to buy AMD cards because the lack of halo product.
 
Sticking with the 3090 for at least another gen. If my GPU dies within the next couple years, I'll probably get a 9070 XT as a replacement since the performance is about the same.
