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.
We had a lot of stutters in the main hub and throughout the missions with a lot of nasty screen tearing in DRG unfortunately. Not sure what's going on there since we both have pretty decent rigs. I'm hitting over 244fps on it consistently except for when the strange stuttering happens with vsync off.
There were reports that Group Policy didn't prevent Win 11 from overriding your drivers just last week.

It's been a frustrating experience overall in regards to drivers.
I'm perplexed, I really don't have those issues once the game is "fully loaded", so to speak. On a 3700X with a 6700XT, so it's not top of the line either.
Read the link, turns out I also did the solution mentioned in the article. Hope that holds.
I dunno wot else to say lol I have a 5800x3D with the 6800.
I think you mightve misread some stuff because they mention directly that even if you disable that feature through group policy it won't work.
"However, now it seems the company is taking this a bit further and is forcing driver updates for Nvidia and AMD graphics cards, even if you have this feature disabled via Group Policy Editor. "
"A Twitter account named @ghost_motely posted screenshots showing a Windows 11 machine's Group Policy Editor with driver updates disabled and a fresh Nvidia driver installed recently, seemingly ignoring this setting. "
I do know how to fix these problems myself. It's just a bad experience since Adrenaline refuses to even boot unless you reinstall the drivers yourself manually.
