Arraghhh which card

Anyone who "upgrades" from a 6800XT/3080 class card to something like a 7900XT/4070ti Super class card isn't getting their money's worth. I would personally keep the card and wait for the next generation, which is what I'm doing anyway as a 6950XT owner. The performance uplift for the money is laughable IMHO. The only card that gives a MAJOR uplift would be the 4090 and those are just crazy money.

Yes that is now the plan. PS5 pro and an RDNA 4 card for my pc at the end of the year.
 
You rarely see huge leaps in a single generation.

Ampere was good on value I think, particularly the RTX 3070 FE.

Most can't afford the top GPU anyway (with the RTX 2000 series, that was the 2080 TI).

I had the same agony and came to the conclusion after a lot of agonising that anything less than a 4080S would leave me unhappy.

It was way more than I wanted to spend but no regrets. I am however expecting a Christmas Card from Jensen this year at that bloody price.

I just miss the days of getting a great card for £350. :(

Although now the prices of the 7900GRE are out I am tempted. Especially the nitro. Will have a think on

Will be interesting to see if they release model that has a much higher clock speed, that can bring the card's overall performance closer to the RX 7900 XT.

At the boost clock spec of 2394Mhz, the RX 7900 XT (reference model) has a FP32 processing power of 51.48 TFlops.

The RX 7900 GRE would only need a boost clock of 2550Mhz (13.5% overclock), in order to reach a FP32 processing power of 52.22 TFlops.

Some of the RX 7900 XT overclocked models have boost clocks that high.

For whatever reason, Techpowerup seemed to get the best overclocked performance with a Sapphire RX 7900 GRE Pure:

Not much behind the stock RX 7900 XT.
