4080 or 7900XTX

[ph123uk]

I personally got a 7900XTX new on release day, wish i'd gone for the 4080 instead - I didnt feel this way until I tried to play VR games - any other non VR games I'm good - but VR on the 7 series is a joke! (And I sadly play a lot of VR)

Yeah man they are verrrrrrrrry bad with VR it seems

Either get a 7900XT for £750 or go all in on a 4090, nothing else really makes any sense.

I would probably add 6800XT for £540 to this, a reasonable upgrade over the 2080 Super without being too expensive and it has 16GB of VRAM so will have decent legs if next gen is a bust.

Outside of those 3 cards though I don't see anything worthwhile for you at the moment.

Decided to go all in and get the Gainward 4090 phantom providing its still that price on Wednesday when I get paid. Anyone got one? Any opinions?

What's wrong with them in that case out of interest? Is it like frame pacing issues or something?

The RX 7900 XTX is supposed to cost around £930. That's roughly what the reference model price is:

They haven't cut the price yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

At that price, it's a better deal than the 4080 or 4090.

If you don't mind spending a lot and want the best performance, than the 4090 is what you'd get.

 

[JediFragger]

I've had both and tbh get the 4090 if you want to treat yourself, it's a ******* beast!

Typical! It's just gone up to £1550!

When you get paid on Weds ask @Gibbo super nicely if he can drop to £1499 briefly while you buy and he might be able to do it

Worth an ask!!

Here's hoping! £1500 was my limit really going 350 up from 4080. The monitor I'm buying as well is 900, so 2400 is all I can afford this month really.

Don't tag him now tag him Weds!!! lol

I've ordered it today for Sunday delivery. Are they open and will it arrive?

Did you get a dispatch notice?

 

[bluesouljah]

No, gutted, I called they were closed. I assumed for Sunday delivery they would process orders on a Saturday. Wish I had gone to a competitor, who I noticed were 50 quid cheaper.

 

[bluesouljah]

I went for the Zotac trinity in the end and the MSI 4K monitor in the end, when it turns up!

yeah sunday delivery is prob a thing but its bank holiday so maybe they are the lucky sort that dont have to work the weekend

Odd, you ordered it pretty early?? Thought OcUK shipped on a Saturday, guess not.

It allowed me Sunday Delivery so I took that. I asumed tomorrow, so called and they were closed. The status is still received, not had any emails. Dunno, Just guessed having the option to pay Sunday delivery meant tomoorow. If its not possible, it shouldn't be an option on a Saturday, guess that's my feedback. Anyway, it's not a cutomer service thread. Just a bit disapointed.

I'd have done the same tbh, remember to register it within 30 days to get your full five year warranty.

Just noticed my system in my signature, haven't updated it, lol
