The issue is by buying 3 year old tech you are getting 3 years less driver support and life out of the product from AMD. That £80-100 saving over a 7800XT is not really a saving if you have to upgrade again when support is dropped (think Fury).
Gibbo will sort you out don’t worry.I wish they would hurry up with the proper reviews and prices
At this point I'd go 7800XT
And get uptodate features and 3 years more support over the last gen. Agree.
performance wise the 4080 is very strong. Jumps the 3080ti, 3090, and 3090ti with like 20% headroom. The card is great. Unlike say, the 4060ti which jumps nothing.If we are going back to this argument 4080 must have been a 4070 and priced £500 and amd still back on medium range segment
Yes. My 6800 is now 2.5 years old and I don't think it will be switched out for another year at least. The 16gb ram really was an astute config as far as I am concerned. I may switch to an end of line 7900xt if they end up going for 400 ish but just as likely to wait for RDNA 4 despite it being midrange only.
I did forget that for support to drop it’s usually 7-8 years which will mean performance from the card will be poo by then.
You're confusing me with others regarding blocking of DLSS I've always maintained that implementing all of companies upscalers was the best way and the only thing I was not in 100% agreement was the people who was saying but muh game dev is too hard esp now when the DLSS patch for Starfield came out within hours of the games release. People pay £70 for these games and thats not including the DLC, Battlepass, MTX etc
Again confusing me with others but AMD could have shut this down like Nvidia did by saying they dont block anything which may be the reason why people believed them at least they said something but as you said AMD waited until a few days ago to make a statement after all the negative press about it and the damage was done. AMD's rabid fanbase where happy to add fuel to the fire by being happy of AMD blocking DLSS.Then AMD says they didn't block anything a few days ago and you still believe all the tech press who had zero evidence,zero documents,etc to prove anything. But when Nvidia says they don't block anything people believe it 100% fine,despite their own history of doing stuff. People even quoted numbers themselves,and lots of information - but no people clutched their pearls(and kept quoting the WCCFTech article and the HUB video) like Gospel Truth.
Because AMD has the power to force Microsoft to do things or block Nvidia - if they had so much sway they should have bribed CDPR to cut down on RT in Cyberpunk 2077!They can't even get their CPUs to do best in Starfield!
I'm not fully up to date on all the ongoing of who's or what company has done what over the years am I'm not even sure how much of it is true esp when people's bias get thrown into it. Since this post people are still posting his vids and parts of what he references have zero evidence and documentation yet when the DLSS blocking thing happens now some people care about facts and evidence. This is what my tech press comment was referering to dont complain about the tech press but then happy to post their bs when it suits.The issue is some of us have been around in this area for decades. HL2 was the same nonsense when Nvidia lost a big sponsorship 20 years ago. Then the fallout about Rollo,etc was hilarious to watch after that.
Yet,when he points out that Nvidia might try something else,now suddenly its all rubbish. If he said this was AMD trying to spin negative PR about Nvidia,I expect people would be making a new thread about it. Just like HUB are AMD shills one day because they make a video talking about VRAM or something,but the moment they make a negative AMD article suddenly they are a 100% trusted source.
Yup, get used to it folks!
Unreal 5 will be mainly AMD biased as well I expect.
