Imagen playing 800+ for a 60 class GPU just because it has nvidia branding. You gotta be born yesterday and below a rock to find that acceptable.
I was just going to say/ask the same thing. Can anyone with a 7900XTX confirm how well Indiana Jones runs (an RT mandatory game), as surely that should give us a real world indicator? Im thinking whilst you can’t turn RT off completely, it may be fine with it turned down to the lowest setting?

I actually thought about doing the same regarding the 7900XTX, sadly they are holding their value and 720 pound(In Denmark with tax) which is the cheapest new is just to rich for me. 2nd isn't much better and availability is very low. Nobody wants to sell it seems.. sensible people
I don't know about how it performs in that particular game but as far as I know the RT is a similar performance to the 3080 which is still pretty decent albeit not as good as the upper end 4000 series cards.
Denmark is selling it cheaper than anywhere in the UK, If I could see one at £720 I would buy it today and forget about the latest generation. " I just don't see the 9070XT costing that much and I don't feel like paying 100-150 more for 8gigs of extra vram and worse RT and upscaler performance if rumours are to be believed."
On the Nvidia thing, They have brought out some fantastic cards in the past, luckily for me I had an EVGA 1080 Ti when it came out and it lasted me 7 years with no performance issues. I think this type of card bought them a lot of good will and their top card since then has always put the AMD cards in it's shadow. I personally don't get seduced by branding, I look at everything in it's own individual merit, but a lot of people do have brand loyalty, I personally don't get it but it is what it is. "I've had the 1080ti, fantastic GPU, paid rough 620quid, ended up selling it and buying a VEGA 64 as a flip to Jensen, not that he cared of course
*Snip*
It runs incredibly well on my GRE at 1440p so I imagine the XTX has no issues at all. I think the 7000 series only really suffer with PT titles.
Retailers have been stocking 9000 series since the beginning of the month, if anything there is more 9000 series stock out there right now than 5000 series stock.
Hopefully since it will be after new year at least there won't be long gaps between new stock coming in. So even if they do run out restocks will be consistent
same I keep an eye out just incase something plummets in price but they are around the same price as last year
AMD is already great for gaming (and ignoring productivity tasks somewhat) with Wine/Proton. So you don't even need a Steam OS. The current flavour of the month distributions like Bazzite (for install and go) or CachyOS (it's Arch btw
) are more than capable of playing a helluva lot of games as good as, if not better than Windows.
FTFY.
