7900xtx or 4080?

[rustyk21]

I kept the XTX over the 4080 because I'm not too bothered about RT but especially because in a growing list of games the XTX goes a bit nuts and is pretty much as fast as a 4090!!

I saw in Remnant 2 they are very similar but I'd assumed that was an outlier. What other games are exhibiting similar behaviour? Is there any common pattern in terms of game engine etc.

I ask because the 4090 outlcasses the XTX in every metric (on paper) so I'd be surprised if this became a common thing. Happy to learn otherwise.

I bought the 4090

I got my heart set on picking up a liquid devil but at £1200 it wasn't too much to stretch to the 4090 at £1500

Yeah no pattern (I'd like to see more UE5 games out to compare) but Remnant 2/RDR2/AC:Valhalla/CoD MW2/BF2042 and am sure there are more I'm not thinking of atm the XTX is damn strong in!

Honestly once you're at 1200+ the 4090 makes the most sense tbh.

Is that £1500 plus a waterblock

@montymint that's it mate, I just knew if I listened to common sense and kept my 3080ti or got the liquid devil I'd have only been itching to upgrade again in a few months.

@decto yeah the block is more but figure if I get anywhere close to the £600 I want for my 3080ti and block then I've essentially only paid £1150 for a 4090 and block.

Yes I know that's cheating but it's my justification and I'm sticking to it! Lol

Add Immortals of Aveum to the list @rustyk21 , damn good showing from the XTX in the first full UE5.1 game!!

I can't look past the XTX power usage during that, crazy and I thought the 4090 was hungry.
It's magic how it keeps temps down though.

similar fps and the xtx is running on a weaker cpu, AMD seem to do pretty decent with UE5

Same, limit mine to about 400W which still gives me a decent 2700-2750 sustained core clock.

AMD released a driver for this game, Nvidia hasn't yet.
You can see the 4090 usage is all over the place, often below 80%. It's odd Nvidia isn't on the ball with a game profile though, they're usually pretty quick with that sort of thing

Be interesting to see if a dedicated driver will improve it but so far they been pretty ****-poor in UE5-based games!

I haven't looked much into it much AMD seems to be really close when it comes to games using ue5 ?

Yup, few UE5 games now are showing the same If not exact then within 10% or so which is close enough for moi!!
