Linus Tech Tips: AMD GPU "a much better value"
Linus from "Linus Tech Tips" says AMD's 7900 XTX is "a much better value" than its NVIDIA competition from the RTX 4000 series, announcing he will be installing and using this AMD GPU in his personal gaming PC.

Looks like AMD will soon be giving NVIDIA some serious competition... unsurprising after they succeeded in dethroning Intel from their perch atop the hierarchy of gaming CPUs.

I always used to joke having AMD means you have "A Massive D*ck". Now I can finally flex on all the Nvidia fanboys for having superior hardware.

AMD probably said "Tell everyone we're better and we'll give you 5 of these cards."
And he did.

An assumption of guilt like that without any evidence to support it seems to indicate you have a bias in favor of NVIDIA.

I like AMD and I like Linus Tech Tips.

I currently have a 6900XT and I have no plans to buy Nvidia or Intel when I will upgrade.

Uhm, this has always been true of AMD offering same performance for less. Or better performance at the same price point with equivalent Nvidia GPUs often performing better but doing so at higher cost. So this is really nothing new. AMD has always been a better value.

Nvidia has been doing that for years. They also create gimmicks like PhysX, which is just particle effects any CPU could run, then paid developers to disable those features unless gamers were using a Nvidia GPU... despite that stuff being able to be processed on a CPU with little effort.

Honestly, looking at each generation what's new, understanding it and putting it somewhere on the value chart sucks. There aways will be newer, better, stronger and enhanced components.

whats the NVIDIA rtx 3070 equivalence in AMD?

the rtx4090 is better(53%), but the 7900XTX is like 500 euro cheaper.
It does come close to an rtx4080 but not better than (15%) it but still is almost 200 euro cheaper

I like benchmarking, but I'm a nerd xd

the newest 7900xtx should have raytracing.

The AMD 6800 XT is the competitor of RTX 3080.
