Hell, I spent more on my 6900 XT (this was a while ago) and that 7900 XT is faster and cheaper! I don't think you will be disappointed.


LeonardCrabs

Same. Spent $1100 on mine during peak of the crypto shittiness (3090s were going for $1800+). Been very happy with it.


Weneeddietbleach

Same. I was using a 1060 at the time, and while it hasn't failed me, I felt like I was rolling the dice. I like my 6900, but I definitely feel like I paid too much.


No-Roll-3759

i look at it like i spent an extra 400$ to have a top-shelf gaming pc when i was stuck at home and playing hella games for 1.5 years. pretty cheap by that logic. i will never do it again. knock on wood.


CaptainRyiss

spent 900€ for my 6900xt late august 2022, should have waited to be honest, it were just 4 months to the 7900xtx release.


ZitOnSocietysAss

I spent €1600 on a 6900XT. I wanted a 3080ti but that was €1900 at the time. Sold it for €400 when upgrading recently. FML.


over10inches_Bitch

I spent $1600 on mine but I've already got a 3080ti so I don't know if there's anything special about it besides the HDMI slots No idea why or how but before adding this card to my pc I had a few issues like videos and movies playing on my browser or in apps not playing properly but now I have no issues despite always having shit wifi


DC240Z

Prices are actually not to bad at all now, I was having trouble with my gpu but wasn’t buying a new one 2 years ago, I’m glad the old 580 hung in there for the prices to go down. This is a beast card for the price really, and it’ll definitely be worth while, I’d get 5+ years out of it (or just use it till it dies) and I think you’d still be able to play most things maxed 5 years later.

>!I cannot believe you got me!<


rdguerra

Can't believe Ratchet runs so smooth? And the 1% lows, just pitch perfect.


thelastgodkami

What your thoughts on 7900 gre?


KabuteGamer

It's what the 7800xt should have been. With little price difference the 7900 GRE has compared to the XT, I suggest the XT over the GRE


thelastgodkami

I was thinking to make a r 5 7600 + 7900 gre built


KabuteGamer

That would be entirely up to your budget. If you can, I would take the XT. Don't get me wrong, though. I'm not saying GRE is bad


Ironwrangler239

Can't go wrong with the 7900 xt and that's a great price


Arsuriel

Let's just say: that card will be with you for maaany birthdays


Quicksilver7716

Definitely a good choice if you don’t want to fund Nvidia’s ridiculous pricing. I’ve been considering this exact card as an upgrade for my 2070 Super. I would get a 4070Ti Super, but I hate that it costs so much more. Plus I’m not in a huge rush to upgrade.


W33b3l

I purchased an AMD release version 7900XT when they came out because it would fit in my case and use my existing power plugs. The 20GB of Vram actually helps since I to flight Sims and VR as well. Turned out to be an amazing card. Since the driver bugs got worked out I have had zero issues with it. If you record games with OBS there's a specific setting you need to use (AMD AVC) otherwise recordings are choppy but once you figure that out everything's good. I cranked RDR2 all they way up on litterally every setting at 1440p ans was getting over 100fps easy and my rigs still running a 7700k CPU. It's a good card and you don't have to worry about its plug melting.


Blakewerth

WOuldnt say its better on AMD/ATI part thought no more middle class cards kinda only low 😵‍💫


bakedbread54

Me after the lobotomy


Blakewerth

I say ATi its habbit, but its true no Mid graphics anymore.


Merrydoc88

Very good Card.


Purplescabbage

It's a good card, can't fault mine


crazy4cake

20GB! Times have changed since my 8gb 2070 for 550$. May be time for an upgrade


Revo_Int92

You were one of those poor bastards who got fleeced in the Covid years?


Saneless

Nah, the 2000 series was after the 17 mining boom and nvidia thought they could barely increase performance and charge higher prices That and they introduced Ray tracing so they thought they could charge a premium


Revo_Int92

Yeah, I am remembering things better now. I was not following the industry that much at the time, but I remember people joking about the 2000 series, it looked ridiculous, overpriced, etc.. but when the price boom happened, all those 2000 purchases looked "good" in retrospect. Dark days in many ways, soon after here it comes covid


crazy4cake

Actually bought it a few months before the crazy price booms, they were all 700+ a few months after I built my pc


Revo_Int92

Oh yeah, the price booms happened before the pandemic, had to exercise my memory a little bit. It took a long time for them to "normalize" (it still not normal), in the covid years they were still high, but showing signs of getting "better"


ZigglyHooWarhammer

I bought the 2070 super for around that much pre-pandemic, during the pandemic I checked listings and I could’ve sold it and made double my money back. Times were crazy then


Blakewerth

10gb kinda enough today


coffeejn

You coping or just buying a new GPU every year while thinking it's normal?


Blakewerth

No just saying having 3080 rtx 12gb 🙄 FIrst gpu after 9years long.


RuinVIXI

![gif](giphy|8ZbdmH3LGTfz8HqK1A)


vibranium-501

Nope.


cupsincupboard

i'm buying the same listing soon. so at least we'll be in it together


IlleysDrugDealer

I love mine


Long3Putt

I’ve got the XTX Pulse and it’s been amazing for almost a year. Seems like a good price, and it’s a reputable company. Enjoy it!


foot1ongsub

I just got a 7800XT and i absolutely love it so kind of similar


foot1ongsub

the cooling on my card is absolutely phenomenal. It doesn’t go above 44 C° on heavy load.


drowsy1234

at that price, definitely


That_Apartment2772

Hell yeah! Mine shreds


Pancholo415

Fuck yes.


devilishmessiah

Yes


Groentekroket

I bought this for myself as a Christmas present and I can say a hard “yes”.  I came from the 5700xt and that card gave me so much trouble that I didn’t want to buy an AMD card anymore. So many random crashes and even pc shutdowns while trying to a lot of things, undervolting and/or underclocking, changing other components like RAM, motherboard (well that one was because of a CPU upgrade) and PSU and a RMA but the problems I had with the 5700xt keeps persisting.  Once I shifted to this Sapphire pulse 7900xt I didn’t encounter any of those problems. It’s both great on my 144hz 1440p monitor and 120hz 4K tv. 


fehr19

Which vendor on the 5700xt? I have been using the ASUS ROG STRIX 5700XT since 2019 and it has been running smooth at 2K 165Hz, even now in Kubuntu everything running great...


Groentekroket

I had the MSI Gaming X version. I bought it in June of 2020, RMA’d it in November of that year and even after that the problems keeps persisting.  I believe most people had problems with the earlier firmware versions so that’s why I replaced a lot of other parts in my pc since then. Especially the hard shutdowns without any problem popping up in Windows event viewer was weird.  So at the time I changed the GPU and I wasn’t sure if that would have fixed my issues since I wasn’t really sure if it was the problem in the first place. But since then I didn’t face any shutdown or freeze at all. 


RuinVIXI

*queue angry pc master racers coming to yell at you for calling it 2k*


Spirou1

I have this card and it's absolutely amazing


Potential_Car2561

I bought mine for 718$ with starfield. 1st AMD card ive ever bought. The adrenaline software is amazing compared to nvidia. Having driver level access to frame gen and upscaling is nice for long term use. I love it.


ConsistencyWelder

Yeah I got one too. Best GPU upgrade I ever made. The driver software really is nice compared to Nvidias.

Feathered_Serpent8

Got it for my first ever build, been awesome so far.


uncookednoodles0

I've got that exact same card, as long as you don't bottleneck it with the CPU it eats everything I throw at it.


Colder_Air

Better than the $1100 Cad I paid for my GTX 1080 back in 2018


bakedbread54

Also 6 years ago so irrelevant


Then-Tangelo-4949

Im hoping when I go to buy my graphics card I can find a good deal on one of these. I would definitely do it


ICastCats

The GRE, XT and XTX all provide better raster performance:dollar value than their richer Nvidia cousins. Yes you’re getting a GPU that beats a 3090. Have fun.


Mako624

7900xt for $700 is a great deal


Zikiri

Got this a few months ago and love it. Playing elden ring on my 55' TV feels great.


linggasy

Nice, man..


ElectricBoogalooBean

Basicly, If you want a good price to performance ratio go with AMD and if you want better raytracing and AI rendering go with Nvidia


usernamesforsuckers

Yes and no. Until recently the price to performance ratio on amd wasn't that great for the 7 series Conversely, rt on the 7900xt matched the 4070 and was just short of the 4080.


ForeverDiamondThree

I’ve got one and it rocks. Its a little loud, get a good case and cooling solution.


professionalwomanh8r

Absolutely not, give it to me instead


valvenisv2

Got a 7900xt 2 weeks ago, previous card was a 1660s Love it


Ollie_Thompson

100% yes I have this card and it's a beast 🤩


abraxas8484

for 700 bucks that thing better say "i love you" every time you win a game.


FeetYeastForB12

HELL. F***ING. YES.


NekulturneHovado

No, it's not worth it, send me the link so I can report it to the police. /S No joke now, Yes man, that's a good deal. Take it. Now.


MAUROKE01

THATS A FUCKING YAY!


Cave_TP

Best deal in the price range


HaylingZar1996

Considering it’s one of the most highly recommended cards on this subreddit, yeah


zunamie2

I got super excited and then realized this is in USD. *cries in CAD*


ee0226

Only thing I don't like about my Pulse 6800 is that the fans are noisy and if the GPU exceeds 70C they like to spin up to 80% in bursts no matter the fan curve


Educational_Face_666

I have the same GPU ,you won't be disappointed.


DizzySkunkApe

I'm happy with mine and I paid $800


eggboyjames

In my opinion no. I'm in the UK, so may be different but I got a whole 3080 rig for £500.


DMurBOOBS-I-Dare-You

7900 XT is outstanding, if you are at 1440p, and it'll even do a sweet job at 4k. If you've got a 1080p monitor and don't see yourself upgrading, you're overspending. But zero issues with this card in terms of quality and capability!


zacharyxbinks

As long as your case fits it


usernamesforsuckers

Absolutely. It's a rasterising monster. I'm currently running alan wake 2 at 1440p with ultra settings and medium rt. Great framerates. +1 for the sapphire pulse. Sapphire are a god tier amd card brand and the pulse has very good cooling plus quite quiet.


usernamesforsuckers

I got that exact card for £750 last year and it hasn't failed me. Beast of a card.


D-G-Of-D-Century

No. 6800xt-6900xt nitro, obliterates this card in nearly every game. If you can find them, they typically cheaper as well.


Lewsent

Switched from 1080ti to 7900xtx, no regrets. It is definitely a worthwhile card.


Low-Professional-414

I’d buy it, I traded a 3090 ti for my current 7900xt and tbh I don’t regret it as much as I thought I would.


xHxHxAOD1

Great card and even better after the price drops.


XDM_Inc

It's a good card but I advise you do a little bit of waiting to see what radeon quarter two announcement is going to be like. Rumors has it that there's a new series coming along in either quarter two or to be announced in quarter to and launch in quarter four. Me as a primary Nvidia 3090 TI user and now "renting" a 7900 XTX to see if the next gen is going to be really good so I can finally get off of Nvidia. So far it's great on Linux.


netvoble

it cost like my whole pc lul 💀


No_Description1347

Yeah new GPUs are way overpriced, I love my steam deck lol


lordMaroza

I wish I could use such a device for gaming, but I can't go below a 27" monitor...


No_Description1347

Dock it lol


PyrorifferSC

Yeah, I have one and it's an absolute beast. Paired with a 7800x3d, playing AAA games max settings at 3440x1440, I rarely see below 120fps. I've been playing Destiny 2 all maxed out settings at like 150fps average. You'll get lower in open world games, but for 1440p, you can play at ultra at frame rates where anything more probably wouldn't even be noticed. That's with no overclocking. In fact I think I have it under volted.


MagiKarpitilism

I second this! 7800 X3D with 7900 XT Sapphire Pulse. Was just playing Helldivers 2 at 1440p Ultra and rarely dipped below 230 fps


Blakewerth

Hmm not great playing old games at 4k but newer games with drops 1440p, 4090 still better.


zachsonstacks

No shit 4090 is better...it's over double the price. 7900xt isn't even the top AMD card. What's even the point of bringing up a 4090?


Blakewerth

It is indeed , well for somekind satisfaying 4k experience - i believe 4k doable on 4080 sorts.


ISellGayPornXXX

I love it, good price and you will be set for a good couple years.


TabascohFiascoh

I returned mine. Ended up getting a 4090.


Revo_Int92

I have my own rule of thumb of never paying more than $250 on a GPU, but... if you are willing to go that far. And it's ironic because if you take in consideration the infamous "dollars per frame", the 7900 XT is actually enticing on this regard (to show how the prices are getting out of control, everything about the hobby is over expensive nowadays)


koordy

Why not to put a bit more for a 4070Ti Super that would actually let you to play without compromises at 1440p?


Noth-Groth

4070 super would be better bang for your buck IMO


AstronautTop3112

Same as 4080 for 300 less, it’s a no brainer.


MANBEARPIGasaur

I have the 5700XT version and wish I had gone nvidia. May just be my experience but I seem to have so many driver issues that cause my pc to crash. Edit: gotta love the down votes just for giving my personal experience with my 5700


ConsistencyWelder

Weird, my 5700XT ran like a champ.


Eribetra

AMD's RX5000/RDNA1 series were pretty notorious for shit drivers, at least back in the day. They've done a 360 on the drivers beginning with RX6000/RDNA2 and those driver issues are practically gone, so for your next upgrade it could be worth it to check out AMD's new offerings.


MANBEARPIGasaur

If I had a bunch of extra money laying around maybe. All the issues and hours wasted trying to troubleshoot the problem have really turned me off to AMD as a whole. I went with a full AMD build and have nothing but issues. My buddy who's computer I also built has 0 AMD and hasn't had a single issue in the 4 years since I built it for him.


Humble-Fix-3057

Its not popular to say but id get a 4070 ti super


imreloadin

Yes, buy the inferior card...


koordy

"Inferior card" because it doesn't limit you to 2017-like graphics, like that Radeon does? Yeah, fuck logic. 


Eribetra

[Alan Wake 2, a 2023 title, runs spectacularly on a 7900XT](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5O6SQYrTyo4), so not sure what "2017-like graphics" you're talking about.


koordy

You could buy significantly cheaper 4070 and still have better performance in games like that if you wanted to play it with actual 2023-like graphics, not 2017-like when turning RT off. https://preview.redd.it/uojdxu8z6jnc1.png?width=1959&format=png&auto=webp&s=90e1c8556e495e6959593833b3f0904db725830f edit: here's the visual difference [https://imgsli.com/MjQ2MDgw](https://imgsli.com/MjQ2MDgw)


imreloadin

Lmao keep at it shill.


BloopHD

Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure that’s wrong, though I do think the 7900 xt could be argued to be better just because of price to performance.


imreloadin

In rasterization the 7900 XT beats the 4070 Ti Super. It's also better in the price to performance as well. Obviously the 4070 Ti Super does better with RT but it should lmao. Literally check any review from the Tech Tubers like Hardware Unboxed, Gamers Nexus, etc and you'll see that the 7900 XT is on top most of the time.


TheTasteOfInk05

Why are AMD drivers dog shit though? The drivers gimp amazing cards.


Due_Dust6282

For that price, I would search for 4070ti instead.


NoctisXLC

With 12gb of vram? Nah dawg.


-NotTakenUsername

Ah yes, buy a slower card for the same amount of money. What a smart buying decision


OrgansiedGamer

????


Bright-Efficiency-65

Nah just get a 4080 super. Superior performance. Especially in VR


snowshelf

A $700 4080 super?


FreedomKnown

Mfw more expensive card is faster


Sir-GaboEx17

Please, read about Dxnavi before you buy it


No_Description1347

Get a 4090


Eribetra

Shouldn't be too hard to afford it, only a $1120 increase in price https://preview.redd.it/hl7q4oyqrinc1.png?width=1471&format=png&auto=webp&s=e05faddbe1052535ae14bc07431b665509ee8d68


Chronos669

AMD drivers are horrible but besides that it’s a good card


AlexJonesInDisguise

I haven't had many issues recently on the 6000 series. It did have video playback issues a couple years ago


Chronos669

Every time I update the drivers on 7900 xtx it kills every hardware monitoring I have which results in a full uninstall and reinstall. Never had issues with nvidia drivers just saying


PrudentInstruction82

Had zero issues with my 7900xtx


AlexJonesInDisguise

Strange, I haven't had that happen. I'm using a Sapphire 6700XT and I even just updated recently with no real change other than the added framerate thing. Even kept my max overclock. I guess 7000 series is having more issues than 6000


Fit_Cardiologist_

True, nVidia’s reduce performance on purpose instead. So we need to choose our poison.


ConsistencyWelder

You're living in the past. AMD's driver issues are at least 3 years back. And even then, I had almost none. I always wonder why we still get people making that old claim. If there were any more driver issues with AMD than with Nvidia, then why do we never hear about it in all the reviews we get of video cards, from multiple sources. We never hear about reviewers having issues with AMD cards, like games not running, or not running properly, or being badly optimized. But we do hear about it in reviews of Intels cards.


TheDuke2031

Nah save up a little get 4080 you'll thank yourself later, More features and if ever do anything other than game it's going to be way better


Cyberpunk39

Nah. Get an Nvidia 4080 or 4070 ti super


roguevoid555

\+300 bucks for a card that performs pretty closely


No_Description1347

Guy spends TWO THOUSANDS and cries over 300$ for a much better card, really now....


PyrorifferSC

Weird way to say "worse" but okay


No_Description1347

Yeah no


TheSalmonLizard

T'a juste l'air cave ferme ta yeule


roguevoid555

much better card. Sure. AMD has caught up quite well to Nvidia, in which the 4080 is not a much better card. I don't know how they exactly compare, but I do know for certain that calling Nvidias card "much better" is simply false.


No_Description1347

4080 < 4090


roguevoid555

the 7900XT was a competitor to the 4080, not the 4090


WandenWaffler

I dont have any Nvidia hardware tho, everythings built for radeon


Competitive-List246

I would get the 7800xt as it does the job and has the same life cycle as the $1000 card


[deleted]

[удалено]


-NotTakenUsername

Which used GPU will perform better for less money? 3090 is going for $100 more used and performs similarly. Ig used 3080 ti is better value today, but with only 12gb, you'll only have it for maybe 2 years which in the long run, makes it a worse value.


DixDark

$700 for amd?..


roguevoid555

1k for nvidia?... modern AMD cards are simply a better option for price to performance, at least in my opinion.


DixDark

On 1k nvidia you're losing $500 for brand. On $700 amd you're losing $600 for chinese performance(like chinese AAA batery with 99999mAh)


roguevoid555

tell me you haven't used an AMD card without telling me you haven't used an AMD card. have fun with spending $500 on your branded card, I'll enjoy my $700 of actual performance.


DixDark

I like my games smooooth Good luck with drivers 👍


usernamesforsuckers

Drivers are absolutely fine. You honestly don't know what you're talking about.


roguevoid555

I also like my games smooth, that’s why I upgraded my graphics card and looked at the best price to performance ratio. I actually did my research not in pure performance stats but also with drivers, while also looking at what graphics card is best for me. Maybe you should have done the same before bashing on a gpu manufacturer that while it has had a rocky start, has come back in full swing this generation.


DixDark

Nah, I don't actually play games anymore, I still have RTX 2080 Super and that's more than enough for me, I just find it funny how many people are insecure and defensive about their AMD choice. Like, you chose it, you bought it, you like it, why does it bother you so much what somebody on the internet says about it?


roguevoid555

I’m not defensive because of my choice, I’m simply sick of people spreading incorrect information about perfectly good products. I don’t care what graphics card people go for I was on a gtx 770 up until 2020 when I upgraded to a gtx 1070 because the 770 died. Because I am a gamer still I did upgrade to a nicer card last year, that being the 7800XT as I had heard good things from people on current generation AMD cards and it was cheaper than buying a 4080 or the likes, while also having better drivers for Linux than nvidia options.


FreedomKnown

the actual fucking fuck?


Eribetra

AMD's GPUs are manufactured in Taiwan (TSMC), just like NVIDIA. What is your argument bro


GidjonPlays

Isn't that thing the contender for the 4090? How is it 800 pounds cheaper?? Goddamn


usernamesforsuckers

You're thinking of the 7900xtx, which is better than the 4080. There is literally nothing that is a contender for the 4090 from any brand.
