Hello ๐
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 ๐
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.
honestly the a770 can play most AAA games at 1080p which is "good enough" for most people since the majority are still playing at that resolution. If anything the 3060 or the 6600xt are around the same price range for similar performance. If you do need good performance then I would think about the 6800 or the XT version especially when it drops down to $450 again.
AMD is also on the slower side of getting proper drivers ready so even on the 6800, especially in indie games, I'm getting a lot of strange stuttering even though I'm hitting over 100fps on most games at max settings.
