7900 XTX better than 4090?

[Cuddle Bunny!]

With this being an AMD there is a great chance that the 7900 XTX will out perform even the way more expensive 4090. Here is example of an AMD game far cry 6

Even with Ray tracing at 4k

I'll stick with a 4090. I might not like it, but there's all the other games to think about too, like Cyberpunk, etc.

I'd buy a card that could handle a particular game, but I'm not sure I'd buy a card for a particular game.

No op,
Not in your wildest dreams, at least not without seriously jury rigging the testing situation.

RT 7900 XTX is about on par with RTX 4080, depends on scenario's as well since in non-RT tests the RT 7900 is better in both value and performance but in RT situations RTX 4080 just blows AMD out of the water.

But to say that holds true with RTX 4090?:??

Nah, RTX 4090 is about ~50% better in all testing scenarios than both RT 7900xtx and 4080.

It is in its own league, right now.

Its ok man, this generation is pretty messed up.
So much so that there are cards in the last 2 generations that make it pretty much pointless to upgrade because the only real upgrade that would be noteworthy would be something like AMD RT 7900xtx or RTX 4090.
Or you have a card from last gen that to upgrade from means spending a lot of money meanwhile you have good performance and graphics settings already.
Give another example,
RTX 3060 series, good enough at the moment to upgrade from this to a decent level might cost you about ~700-900 dollars, yikes!

[Yoghurt shot]

looks like a higher number
do not look at specs

[Rhila]

better price.
little bit slower.
overall better buy.

[Rhila]

AMD app much better than Nvidia app from stone ages.

and 1500$ cheaper, please do not buy 4090 do anything with 1500 other than giving it to Nvidia.

50% higher price, for 50% more performance.... That seems reasonable.

7900 XTX price is 950$.
4090 price is 1600.
70% more expensive for only 10% - 20% more performance.
the worst deal ever.

Depends on where you check pricing, and whose benchmarks you use.

Amazon for the prices.
Techpowerup for the benchmarks.

[HeyYou]

Actually, its more like 60%..... And benchmarks are all over the place. Whom do you trust? :)

But there is also things beyond cost. AMD is having some issues with their drivers on those cards, and bricking folks machines. (Z series chipset motherboards) Last report, they don't have a fix yet. (though supposedly, there is a workaround.) You don't hear about that kind of thing with NVidia cards.... There is a REASON they cost more. :D

[Professor Oak]

Nah. 4090 is like 1-2 generation ahead of it in non-Ray Tracing performance.

[Halcyform]

AMD has been a mess for a long time.

With that said, it's not like Nvidia is perfect either. However, I've never had a problem with Nvidia I couldn't easily fix by rolling back to an older driver.

AMD - not as simple. It annoys me to no end as well because I had AMD stock all through 80s and most of 90s and it was the best thing ever. Then it wasn't and still isn't.

[BEEP!]

I mean if you don't care about RT AMD is a really nice choice you can spend a whole lot less for a whole lot more raw power this does matter where you live though basically just buy what's best for your budget for me AMD has a much more reasonable prices so I went AMD this time maybe next time I'll go back to Nvidia.
