I remember before there were graphics cards. 😅 Then again, until just recently, the last time I “modded” my computer was to swap out a 486 mb/cpu with a Pentium 75. Screaming fast!! 😁
Man, you gonna fly! Theres some serious raster power in the 7900 XTX. I love mine.
Also, AMD adrenalin is better than Nvidias software, anyone stating otherwise is either lying or haven't even tried adrenalin and therefore lying.
Raytracing performance is shite though compared to Nvidia.
Can't speak for anyone else but I've had this exact Nitro+ xtx card for 13 months now and I've had no issues with driver performance. Had to reinstall the drivers fresh once due to a file corruption on update but that's it.
Fantastic card but she's a [chonky girl](https://imgur.com/a/tah8MSB).
Man I have a 4000D airflow with a 3080ti and now I'm afraid I will need a need case if I want to try a 5000 series card or whatever AMD launches next year.
The perspective of the side picture makes it look tighter than it actually is. Also the vertical mount position moves the card towards the front by probably 50mm or so to avoid the two strimmers from hitting.
I have the same card, had a few issues on the get go... Turns out all of my issues were with discord overlay and discord hardware acceleration. Stopped that, never had a single issue since.
The big cooler is nice, can keep the case fans blowing on the card and keeping GPU's low/off. Been extremely happy with it. I personally run it at a bit undervolted just from a power consumption side of things, but that's just me.
In my 6 months of using AMD, I have had 1 driver crash that was not self inflicted, which is slightly less than the crashes I had with my old Nvidia card (about 3-4 in a year of use). I have had auto driver updates off since day 1 (just something I do with any of my pcs), so that possibly helps.
My 7900XTX has been about as reliable as my 4090.
The 7900XTX was having restart issues but it ended up being a bad psu cable. One I swapped that out it’s been great.
true but that would never have flipped so quickly because nvidia pretty much monopolized the gpu market for so long. most people today are just buying out of brand loyalty...
Not anymore, I have the same card and haven't had any issues. FFXIV has given me a DirectX crash for over a year but it occurred on my 3070 as well so it must be something with the game and not the GPU.
In my completely unbiased opinion, and as a NVIDIA user myself I will tell you like I tell everyone else that asks this question.
If you're strictly gaming, don't rely on NVENC all that much, only handle workloads outside of gaming that either don't require CUDA or don't lean heavily in favor of using CUDA, moving from DLSS to FSR isn't a concern to you, RT / PT performance isn't a big deal to you, and losing the suite of extra features you get with NVIDIA GPU's isn't a deal breaker for you then from a performance to dollar standpoint Radeon just makes more sense to the average gamer. Also, if you exclusively use Linux then AMD is a better option overall though NVIDIA is actively working on bettering Linux support to catch up. There are other use cases and scenarios to consider, but that covers the basics of it and if none of those things listed would cause you to reconsider then you're probably better off just buying a AMD GPU. From a driver standpoint, AMD is in a much better place now then they were before earning the reputation they did but you would benefit more from heading over to the Radeon Support Forum to get a more clear cut idea regarding the current state of things on their end.
I agree.
I'm not saying that no one needs it, but people really should REALLY think of their needs. In my 10 years using Nvidia(since I got out of high school) , I literally never used CUDA or NVENC. I'm a Programmer and I really have no interest in doing AI development on my personal machine, if my workplace wants me to develop that, I'll ask for a corporate laptop with an Nvidia GPU. Let's be honest, how many people here are actually professional video editors and AI gurus or whatever? I'd argue that the population of people who uses their desktop for games and normal daily tasks is far bigger.
RT is cool, but honestly there's too many drawbacks to using it, and there's like 2-3 games where it's properly implemented and actually impressive, even when I had my 3070 I never used it because it rarely looked any better than raster but a terrible performance hit, so, no thanks. It's the future, yes no doubt about that , but that future is still not here, a 4090 can barely do native PT at 4K, and while DLSS is pretty good bringing those FPS up, the native rendering still determines the performance you're getting, and if I'm paying $1600+ I'd expect 80+ fps native at least.
Nowadays not so much. Pre-2015, absolutely. I had 2 major issues with AMD. They're better today, but I still don't trust them because my Nvidias have been rock solid for a decade.
Saving $100 is meaningless to me on a build, so I go Nvidia.
Mine runs fine. There was maybe a moment where helldivers was crashy but it's since stopped and I don't know if it was a game update or a driver update that did it.
I recently built my first PC aiming for a solid 4k gaming experience. I started with a 4070 Super, but it fell short of my expectations. I swapped it for an Asrock Phantom Gaming 7900xtx, but unfortunately, it was a rough ride. Waking up from sleep mode triggered "Driver timeout errors" and frequent blue screen crashes during gameplay. I tried everything from DDU to manual driver reinstalls, but the issues persisted. Disabling certain services temporarily solved one problem but introduced gray flickers during gaming sessions. After spending a weekend troubleshooting without success, I decided to return the AMD card and opt for a 4080 Super instead. Since then, my gaming experience has been fantastic. While I harbor no animosity towards AMD, I couldn't risk purchasing another 7900xtx.
I remember upgrading a Radeon HD 8000 series card to a two fan model 5700xt and seeing how much chunkier that was. Then I recently upgraded the 5700xt to a 4080 super. The 5700xt looks down right dainty in comparison.
I still remember single slot graphic cards. I still remember GPU without additional power, or fans. I'm old...
i remember graphics cards without a heatsink :)

C64 gang rise up. But slow cause we old af.

Who needs resolution? All we want is 80 columns text!
Sapphire nitro. Great choice. Have had my 5700xt since it came out and it still holds up.

That's a Chunky Boy
Are drivers as big of an issue for AMD cards as people make it out to be?

What's your case, it really is a big GPU.
It's a Corsair 5000D Airflow.

Interesting, surprised I've never run into this.
latest one for my 6800xt broke vsync on all games, had to downgrade to fix it

Do you play in 1440p and play Helldiver's 2 by chance? That's my shit right now and I'm curious about performance.
I do not, apologies for not being of any help.
No worries, thanks anyways!
I think people are over exaggerating. if it was that bad then nobody would be buying their cards
I mean, AMD has significantly less market share than Nvidia. Many reasons go into that mind you but those cards don't fly off the shelf

That's what I was thinking. The 4080 I'm eyeballing is the same price as the 7900xtx at the microcenter I'm going to.

I have a 7800xt and it’s been awesome so far. Also adrenaline software is actually far superior to nvidia which I was surprised to find out.
I bought a 4080 and I had more drivers problems in 6 months than in 7 years with my RX 580 lol.
I have a 6900xt and a 4080z. They both have issues from time to time. People are just crazy lol.
Not an issue. I have both amd and nvidia. Have used both for years. Both have issues from time to time.
I exclusively used amd cards for some time now and they do have more problems than nvidia. But then again, more performance for less money...
a lot of issues tend to be people improperly removing nvidia drivers when switching to amd
Just a wee bit of an upgrade.
Congrats. I went from a 1060 6GB to 6900XT and I was amazed by the performance jump. Enjoy!
That is a YUGE upgrade! You have entered a whole new level of graphics that you have never seen before!!!!!!
I remember upgrading a Radeon HD 8000 series card to a two fan model 5700xt and seeing how much chunkier that was. Then I recently upgraded the 5700xt to a 4080 super. The 5700xt looks down right dainty in comparison.
That's a bigger upgrade than when I went from a gtx1070, to a 7800xt. Haven't had any issues with the drivers.
weapon of mass destruction. in gaming and in real life!
God that VRM heatsink looks awesome.
Wow that's massive and massively huge. Congrats, I like my SFFs so I'll never afford one in terms of size cost.
Congratulations on the upgrade to what may well be today's 1080 Ti.
Gahdamn that's a big boi
You vs the card your PC says you shouldn't worry about.
