Hello 👋

This is my first post on the fediverse after ditching Reddit, still trying to figure out how it works so I may be posting this wrong, in which case my apologies 😅

After the slight disappointment that is the RTX 4070 and overpriced RTX 4080/4090, I’m looking at potentially getting an RX 7900XT. The price has dropped from ~800 in March to ~720 this month. What I’m wondering is if it’s worth copping it now that’s it’s slightly cheaper? Would it be a future proof card?

I’m not yet massively sold on ray tracing or DLSS or any of that stuff and I’m hoping that the power that card can output make up for it.

    That is fair, it’s a real shame AMD hasn’t caught up yet with AI yet. I have managed to bash my Tensorflow to use my RX 580 but it’s not as smooth or stable as an Nvidia card.

      It should be fine unless you need CUDA. Most games coming out will have AMD FSR baked in which is close enough to DLSS. AMD typically is higher VRAM which is the best thing to have to “future” proof.
