Any particular brand in mind?

Either the sapphire nitro+ or the powercolor red devil. Not a strong preference to any brand at the moment.

Right now.. Anyone I can get.

I'm building my first gaming rig in like 15 years.. and so I'm just super excited to put it all together. The 7900xtx is the plan and would be the cherry on top so to speak..

The 4090 is tempting though.. don't get me wrong, but I'm not sure about spending 2k on a GPU especially when the 7900xtx is about half the price.

i wouldn't mind a red devil but may settle for a MBA and get a waterblock from ek when avalible, though if by some miricle a liqiud devil is avalible to buy then thats my dream card

Exactly the same boat as me. The last PC I built was in 2007. My last build was Intel/ATI and the one before that was AMD/ATI. It’s probably going to back to AMD for both again this time. Hopefully some good benchmarks tomorrow and I’ll go for a 7900xtx.

I've never built a water cooled system setup. Sounds fun.

Ha! That's awesome.

Me too. I was always Intel CPU and ATI GPU (last GPU was a HIS Radeon HD 4670 AGP 1GB DDR3 :cry:

)

Wookiee87 talked some sense to me and gave me some really helpful advice and so I've converted to AMD CPU as well this time around.

I went for the AMD Ryzen 9 7900x CPU. So it would be rad to have a 7900 system.

Everybody waiting for the reference cards or sombody prefer the AIB models?

it can be if done right but i've had plenty of builds in the past and had one fully watercooled build that leaked and killed the whole pc, around 4k down the drain, a lga1366 based system wih a 9800gx2 gpu, northbridge block leaked which took the card out and when the psu popped it took everything out, now i'm super careful and touch wood all my wc builds after that misatke have been great and no problems at all.

plenty of planning and wc builds go smooth and without a hitch

Ooof.. Yeah, I would totally be the same. One leak and never again. Water cooled systems just look really efficient in my mind.. Hopefully one day I'll get to build one for sure.

Whichever I can get first tbh.

Still not decided yet. Will probably decide once I see the prices.

Plenty of vids on YT already showing actual gameplay. 7900xtx slips in right between 4080 and 4090 , few variations here and there but the performance is exactly where we expected it to be.

There will be endless marketing BS promoting DLSS RT FSR etc etc etc but if you go on base raster performance the 7900xt/xtx are very good value propositions ..... in comparison to a 4090 but they are still very expensive.

In november Amd already gave some results, 6 games or so. If i am not mistakem most of the time what they show us is not to far from reality, so will no surprise today in my opinion.

as time has gone on i would suspect that drivers have gotten a fair bit better, to be clear not perfect but from what was shown back then i'd bet it would be slightly better now than then

Igorlabs reported that the European region (which includes the Middle East iirc) had been allocated 10000 cards and that Germany was getting 3000 of those. How many of these cards are available in the UK on launch day is anyones guess.

He was talking about reference cards specifically I believe

My expreience is for AMD you could knock about 10% off their marketing slides. For Nvidia it can be up to 30%, especially when they show RT results. The 3080 being "previewed" by DF with Nvidia's "input", showed the 3080 to be twice as fast as the 2080 it was replacing, but it was more like 50% - 60% (at 4K). They basically turned the 4K setting up until the 8GB VRAM buffer of the 2080 was being hit.

Yeah I agree AMD tend to be more honest with the upcoming performance of their cards whereas Nv will cherry pick the absolute extreme scenarios that showcase the newer cards in the best possible light. Nv will also mix and match DLSS settings so you do not get apples to apples comparison.
