Yessss that's a nice sweet spot in pricing, still too rich for my blood but I bet it'll drive the prices further down on the $300-$400 cards.

I'll wait until 16GB VRAM is standard and not relegated to the premium tier GPUs. Until then, my money stays in my wallet.

Lol bud you're gonna be waiting a while

Absolutely, the fact that this comes with Starfield means the cards cost $70 less than they are. I am actually considering building a new PC with the 7800 XT. Wanted to do this 2 years ago but to expensive. Can't wait to replace my 2016 pc!

@kae any of these have ray tracing or a similar technology?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I know as much as you do. There is Ray tracing in there, but the difference in performance between AMD and Nvidia with ray tracing isn't changing this generation.

If only amd works on blender as good as nvidia then I'd be team red.

I own a Nvidia card but damn am I happy for them to have competition, especially with FSR 3.0 coming out Nvidia will be pushed to keep improving DLSS rather than simply getting a free win on the software end of things. FSR 3.0 also working on non AMD cards including Nvidia ones (importantly pre RTX cards) is a huge win for consumers everywhere.
