Hi

I game at 4k, and have a MSI 3080 10GB. I have the upgrade itch. And looking at the 7900XTX.

Is it worth it, game seem to run ok.

TIA
 
I was happy to go that route but sadly I suffered the AMD vapour chamber failure when there wasn't any replacement stock so ended up with a 4080. I was happy with either.

I'm only really appreciating the RTX + Path Tracing in Cyberpunk but otherwise games like Valheim, Mech Warrior 5 which I've played aren't that taxing.
 
The 7900XTX is 52% faster at 4K or 47% faster at 1440P.
Overall RT performance at 4K the 7900XTX is also 32% faster.
The worst RT performance is in Cyberpunk, where its only 8% faster than the 3080.

You would also have 24GB of VRam vs 10GB now, i can see that being a problem for the 3080 soon if not already.

IMO yes its worth it.

AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX Review - Disrupting the GeForce RTX 4080

Navi 31 is here! The new $999 Radeon RX 7900 XTX in this review is AMD's new flagship card based on the wonderful chiplet technology that made the Ryzen Effect possible. In our testing we can confirm that the new RX 7900 XTX is indeed faster than the GeForce RTX 4080, but only with RT disabled.

I went 3080>XTX.

I don't use upscaling and RT doesn't do it for me either, at native 4K, it blows it away.

Fps gains as stated are good, frame times are incredibly smooth but the 1% lows are much higher in comparison to the 3080 on same settings.

You get 100% IQ (textures get reduced/streamed/culled to fit 3080 in some games) so full ultra textures all the time.
 
I got a bit of a monitor upgrade recently and my 3080 fps now doesn't get near my refresh rate so have been considering this myself. For me feels a little hard to justify so leaning towards waiting for next gen
