So my old GTX1080 is unstable when playing games and frankly its old and I want a change. I'm set on going team red.
Mostly as seeing Nvidia's price gouging over the last few years has left me with a dim view of them and while I like RT its not a killer feature for me.
I'm considering a choice between the 7900 series GPU's really. For the XT/X I want to go for the Sapphire Nitro+ editions. I love the way they look and my plan is to take advantage of the ability to connect one of my front 180mm intake fans to the GPU. That way the bottom one will react to the GPU while the top one will react to the CPU. I was also considering the GRE, but I kinda feel like I would be better served with the XT instead? I currently game at 1440p (27" 144mhz Dell G-sync) But next year I want to jump on one of the 32 inch Alienware OLED models.
My heart wants to go for the XTX as its the top of the range. But I'm not sure if the 5700X3d would bottle neck it? I do want to upgrade to AM5, possibly end of next year though. So perhaps then I could keep hold of it and use it with the AM5 system?
Taking these things into consideration which would you go for? The rest of my system specs are in my signature....
