    Just built my first PC last week. Went for a 7800xt with a 7800x3d, also. Extremely happy with it so far. Playing Starfield with everything maxed at 1440p and it runs like a dream.

    I have the Gigabyte 7800xt, play at 1440p and have 0 complaints. 16 GB VRAM, power efficient, and this thing stays nice and cool under load. For 500$, you can't beat it. Sure FSR may not be as good as DLSS, and Ray Tracing is iffy, but I'd take that extra VRAM, especially looking forward over the next few years.

      If you play at 1440p, 12gb doesn't really matter. Just sayin.
      That's a 4k problem.
      Edit: I had the choice and went with a 4070super. Raw perf, the 7900 is better. But dlss in single player games, and bam you rip the 7900 to shreds.
      Multiplayer games are reduced in spec so everyone can play them anyway. No real upside.

    • @firghteningtruth7173
      @firghteningtruth7173 6 місяців тому +6

      Also, the 7900 is 700, and at that point, might as well consider the ti super....and then, you might as well get the 4080 super.
      The 4070 super is the king in its price range for a reason. And if you were going for 4k, youd buy the 4080.
      The argument you (and lots of computer junkies, not just you) present doesn't actually make sense.
      Gamers, on average, buy a computer, then upgrade in 5 years anyway. The whole "futureproofing," thing is silly.
      If you "futureproofed," last gen and spent 12-1500 (or more) and got the 3090, a 600 dollar card does the same thing next generation.
      🤷‍♂️
      Buy for now. Cross the next bridge when you get there, instead of worrying about its construction before you've even seen it.

    • @firghteningtruth7173
      @firghteningtruth7173 6 місяців тому

      Actually, there is an exception. And it's at the very low end. If you can only afford a low tier proc, it might be worth looking into your upgrade in say, the next 6 months or a year. You can buy, then sell when you upgrade. And you won't lose much on the low end. In that case, if you like amd and can swing it, get the best chip that supports your gpu while taking socket in mind. But honestly, this is and extremely small portion of the population as people building budget pcs are probably looking at used components anyway, which...is probably gonna yeild better results.

      @@danielbarnett5764 You have two options with amd, really, either get an AM4 mother board, DDR4 Ram and get the 5800x3D processor. Or just go full AM5 with DDR5 ram and get the 7800x3d.
      Both processors dominate in gaming due to the size of the cache. If you are more on a budget go for the AM4, AM5 if you don't mind spending extra.
      Now, the real weight will be that 980ti. Perhaps time to upgrade? 6700xt is dynamite for 1080p/1440p gaming.

    Raytracing is a must have if you're developing game assets like me. Software like Marmoset do not not allow you to bake game maps without Raytracing. Also if you are making some real-time 3D render animations, instead of waiting hours to get a frame, you'll go well with Raytracing 1000x faster.

      I always think about it like this.
      Could I habe waited and bought something similar, but at a better price? Sure. (The answer is always sure)
      Say, a 4070 super, then ocing it.
      But, you wouldn't have had a gpu for a year. Also, the ti is better than the super (though, not worth the price difference, new, right now.)
      But, if the ti was say, 675-700, it would be right in line with price/performance. The difference is what? 50-150 bucks at most?
      So, if you rented that card...just to be able to play for a year...would you pay the difference?
      Lets say, worst case, it lost 150 buvks in value. Thats like...11 bucks per month.
      Would you pay 11 bucks a month to play games with awesome graphics while waiting on your upgrade? Youd probably pay more. Say 20 or 25 a month.
      If so, good purchase. End of story. 😂

      @OmarChouikha sorry I didn't get to this sooner. It's pretty good if you ask me. The reason why is because you get a fair bit of versatility out of it. It has 16gb of vram, can undervolt down to using 185w max, and can even overclock to be like a pseudo 6800xt class gpu. In my opinion it's the best midrange option for versatility and future proofing right now unless you want av1 and potentially antilag+ (when amd figures that out) or need features like rt and uspacling (both of which can be argued to not be that important as selling points yet). Hope this helps!

    I have watched all your content for the last year or so.. and will continue to do so, regardless. Maybe Im mistaken, but I notice you tend to steer away from controversy sometimes...I understand this video is aimed more towards simplicity.. but when you make a.strong recommendation for the 4090, do you not have a responsibility to mention, at least in passing, about the demonstratively flawed design of the 4090, and the fact that an inexcusably large proportion of those cards, melt themselves down into a slag (connector design flaw), during normal usage. Yes the 4090 is the "best" card, but using one, is a very stressful experience...as you have to constantly check it's not about to self destruct. Appreciate your work :)

    • @Ureroll
      @Ureroll 6 місяців тому +1

      What controversy? maybe 0.01% had that issue, having a 4090 I assure you is no stress. if you are unlucky and the connector melts they give you a new card, like any other electronics. Amd had defective coolers and other issues too, that said overspending for hardware that get depreciated that fast ( expect my card to have same fps like a 600$ 5070 in less than a year) was something I will not repeat, but I ll worry about it in 6 years or even 8 years from now.

    For viewers wanting more context around ray tracing:
    Some games have built in settings and system to render the game with Rasterized or Ray Tracing. Some games are developed completely using lighting software that is built around Ray Tracing. All card brands are capable of Ray Tracing.
    The biggest thing when deciding about ray tracing, if it affects your buying process, is what games you play. For example, I play a lot of stuff like Dayz, Arma, Tarkov, And early access shooters using unreal engine 4 and 5 with lumen lighting. Not all of the games mentioned handle ray tracing the same. Just know your games and how they work. A great majority of the games I want to play in the near future might have ray tracing baked into some of the lighting, and may be unoptimized in the first place. However, the RT performance with 16GB AMD cards at the $500 price range at 1440p is fine for most games, as well as the niche ones I want to play.
    TLDR: If you’re worried about RT performance, save your money 6 months longer and build a top notch 4k build with a rtx4090. That’s where you’ll see your money well spent on new tech. Otherwise, cost per frame, tailored to your budget, shooting for 100fps; is the most solid way to decide on a long lasting gaming build.

    Agree with the higher budget takes.. recently swapped my 7900xtx for a 4080 super, similar performance but the driver stability on the AMD card was just unacceptable for me for a 1k gpu, getting ray tracing/dlss/better encoder etc as well as the more stable drivers just made it such a better choice, even though I really wanted to back AMD due to the original value proposition
    Edit - also, would you recommend a 1440p or 4k monitor for a 4080 super system?

    • @metalface_villain
      @metalface_villain 6 місяців тому +1

      i'm generally a fan of 1440p but that's mostly due to cost/performance and image quality for the monitor, gpu and all other parts of the build but since you already got a 4080 super i'd say you should go for a 4k, especially since nvidia has good upscaling and upscaling for 4k looks better than upscaling for lower resolutions, that's ofc if you can afford getting a decent 4k monitor, which are a little expensive. 4k will also be better if you use ur pc for other stuff other than gaming.
      i can't recommend you any 4k monitors since i have only done research and more budget 1440p ones since i'm broke xD but i'm sure you can figure it out by looking at youtube reviews and rankings. the only tip that i got is to go for 28 to 34 inches cuz if you go below that you are wasting a lot of money for nothing.

    I hear that the 5090 will be even more powerful than the 4090, but will require alot of wattage and will cost a ton. When its released, the 4090 is sure to come down in price, if you desire one of those.
    Personally, I'd be satisfied with any card of the new generation from either producer as long as it plays in 1440p at about 144 frames. I might even give ray tracing a go.

    bro you can spend 1600+ for the best gpu and u will still not get a playable experience with rt that is noticeable enough so there is no reason for rt to be what will determine your gpu purchase. for reference the 4090 gets 60fps with path tracing on cyberpunk even with dlss quality and frame gen on and mind you that's in a title optimized for nvidia. i personally wouldn't even recommend 4k gpus for similar performance and image quality to cost reasons. in this case you will get playable fps and decent image quality with upscaling but you will have to spend at least 800 for the gpu alone. 4k on a larger monitor ofc will have benefits outside of gaming so maybe it's worth the extra money for many but imo if you're going just for gaming, 1440p on a 27 inch monitor is more than enough.

    Edit: i have some to a conclusion that i wont need the 4070 ti super bc it only gives more ram and slightly higher clock speed and the 4070 super will be enough for my needs, they are withing 10% of eachother and its more then enough for me
