3090 Ti or 7900 XTX

[Guest2]

I currently have one of the top of the line MSI 3090 Ti GPUs.

Is it worth selling it and buying a 7900 XTX for similar cost? I mainly (only) play Warzone.

Looking at videos the 7900 XTX pumps out more frames, but also sounds like AMD drivers are still a **** show. I've not had AMD cards for many years due to issues with drivers but not sure if they improved since then (going back at least 10 years)

It looks like I could sell my 3090 Ti and buy a 7900 XTX and either break even or make money. At the same time ive never had any issues at all with my 3090 Ti and it sits idle at 26c most of the time.

Monitor wise, im on a 100hz 3400 x 1440 Gsync. Ive downed a few settings to keep everything above 100hz but it was more a Warzone futureproof thing.
Also why not if it doesnt cost anything.

I stopped reading here. Absolute nonsense.

BTW, i purchased my first AMD/ATI card (7900 XT) since 2001 a few month ago. It's the best card i've had the pleasure of owning. I've not had any driver issues either.

Before purchasing such card, all of my previous GPUs were Nvidia. Even their drivers weren't always perfect.

I'd definitely go with AMD again for my next GPU.

Personally, i'd go with the 7900XTX.

I had AMD card many years ago, for a number of years - Rage 128, 9700, X1800 and I think a 7950. The general think with them was the hardware was great but the drivers would crash a lot in games, them need a number of fixes to work properly.
I therefore switched to Nvidia back and forth hoping they would be fixed a number of years later.

Early days, the games that were ATI specific looked and ran beautifully, similar to 3DFX with Glide implementation in games.

Rage 128, what a card, was my first proper gaming card, many hours wasted playing grand Prix 3 & 4 on that.

Im sure I didnt have it long before getting a Voodoo 3, which absolutely roasted it.

He can't have been that much of an idiot to buy the Ti at launch price so close to next-gen, iirc it was reduced priced or a 3090 RMA replacement.

No, I paid £800 in 2022. Looks like they still sell for around that on Fleabay. At the time I sold my 3080 for £620, so wasnt a bad upgrade. 4090 was just too expensive

I'm struggling to get my head round why you need to update when you only need to hit 100fps.
Warzone isn't that demanding, surely your 3090 can do 100fps @1440?

3440 x 1440. It struggled and sometimes dipped to low 50s in action on Rebirth Island.
I lowered some settings as recommended on a youtube vid and it actually looks better and plays much better now.

Yeh, i'll probably stick with my 3090 Ti

Get a better monitor first. Then get a 5000 series card when they’re out or a used 4090 at that time depending on budget.

A 100hz lcd kinda sucks given the options in the market.

I thought non LCD (OLED) still suffer from screen burn. I did look at new monitors but gave up based on reviews of OLEDs having screen burn.
I spend the majority of the time on desktop so dont really want my icons melting into a new monitor!

 

[Guest2]

Yeah, I simply wont switch to OLED for monitors or TV due to the HUDs or music titles that can be left on for hours. My favorite TV manufacturer SONY has switched their high end TVs to be mini LED this year which is great as far as I am concerned as it will push this tech forward. I currently own a SONY K95 MINI LED from a year or so back and although their is some blooming in a dark room (not my viewing preference) it disappears with ambient light so its a win for me.

Anyhow back on topic.

All relevant really as GPU and monitor goes hand in hand.
TV wise, im still using an LG 52" plasma from ~2014! Im sure it went through something like 12 hours of babestation one night and the logo was burned into the screen for about a week It's all good though now, must have self healed.

I remember playing that game about 25 years ago

hohoho. The Warzone / War Zone games go back way before that. I had War Zone on Amiga

That appears to have got the idea from War Zone arcade commando game from the 50s??! - https://www.arcade-museum.com/Arcade/war-zone
I expect all mechanical with physical gun of some sort. Id love to see how it looked back then.
