7800xt or 7900xt

[tamzzy]

that's still pretty badly priced though. you can get a ryzen 7600 + 4070 super spec for £1100-1200 easily

 

[Mojo24]

The 1080p spec came in at £916

 

[Defy Belief]

The 1080p spec came in at £916

Not sure what is worse that or the remaining £2100 for 1440p, eek

 

[Mojo24]

1440p spec is around £1538, two monitors came in at £278.

 

[tamzzy]

care to share the specs for us to look through?

 

[Defy Belief]

Hope you went rogue and ended up with an XTX for a £1500 spec for a base unit, could be more than doable I think.

Could have bought a 7700 for that price.

[Defy Belief]

Really quick look but can easily squeeze in an XTX for £1500, not even looked at places where some parts will no doubt be cheaper.

This will have a 9800x3d which will probably be around £500. So hopefully again only upgrade will be the graphics card.

 

[Defy Belief]

£950 on a 7800XT and a 9800x3d.

£960 for a 7900XTX and a 7600.

I know you're probably thinking it's not right but the XTX setup will get WAY more FPS, it's bonkers for 33% of your budget to go on a CPU on a gaming pc.

 

[Mojo24]

Plan was to buy the 7800x3d but since I’ve been checking the prices it’s only increased, so that’s why I was going with the 9800x3d. Plus I believe wow loves x3d.

 

[Defy Belief]

Hmm didn't see WOW, I guess that is cpu intensive, still not sure a 7600 would do badly though, i'd check benchmarks, 1440p usually eliminates some of the cpu strain.

Tbh I think any of the cards mentioned would walk over that game if it's what I remember.

 

[hornetstinger]

I thought WOW runs on a potato?

WOW (and any other MMO for that matter) LOVES the X3d chip. Not only in average framerates but also the mins/lows, so gives a better overall experience due to improved perceived smoothness
If specifically for WOW I would agree that the X3D + 7900XT would be a better combo

Sapphire Radeon RX 7600 XT Gaming OC 16GB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card -£299.99

you know that the only major difference between the 7600 and the 7600XT is the VRAM right, the 7600XT isn't worth the money
either drop down the a 7600 or step up to a 7700XT/7800XT

 

[L0rdMike]

I got a 7900xt and overclocked it.

I scored 26 126 in Time Spy

I thought WOW runs on a potato?

Technically yes, functionally depending on what you do no.

Try running around in a 20 + player raid with settings turned up and you'll quickly see performance tank, and it's very CPU dependant. Most MMO's are the same, skewing towards an X3D over a better GPU can be hugely beneficial with some games/genres.

MMO's, X4, RTS, Sims, city builders/management type games etc very often love L3 cache, even at higher resolutions such as 4k.

With the 7600xt 12gb won’t that be better for non mmo games that are coming out, I can only ask my son what games he is likely to play but kids change their minds like the weather. Can’t really afford to spend anymore than what I have as the plan was 2k max and I’ve gone over that. 7600xt should last 2 years tho?
