But I do think that going with Radeon just because of Vram isn't the answer either because they have a lot of other issues that people aren't mentioning is the point I am trying to make. I am not saying that Nvidias relatively low Vram is okay or anything of that sort cause yes as you said it is effectively planned obsolescence. But going onto Radeons camp where the experience is bad but in different ways is not a good option either imo. We also don't know what next gen engines will do as we have yet to see any games with next gen tech. Things like Sampler Feedback and DirectStorage for GPUs are supposed to significantly lower the Vram usage. But there's also a chance that devs won't use them or will use them but use the added savings to add even more enhancements. But we won't know until games actually come out with those tech. Not to say we should buy vram limited gpus and put our hopes on them but I also wouldn't buy Radeon and put our hopes on them providing a good experience either. It's just better to wait and see if Nvidia discounts their 4080s and see what next gen engines do with vram limited gpus. |
Yeah sorry for the rant lol. Just tired of Nvidia's BS. And AMD to a lesser extent. Its just a shame AMD and RTG couldn't pull of RDNA 3. Idd, Nvidia's support and drivers are second to none. And yeah more VRAM isn't a counter for a lesser architecture, I just wished Nvidia stopped with the shennagigans since a lot of people just want to buy and play games not damn prices and specs. The 7900XT price correction (not going to say drop) is the right direction though and it does outperform 4070ti at the same price point in a lot of titles its just £800 is still a lot of money to spend on a GPU lol.
Think I'll wait a bit more and see if Nvidia and AMD do any more adjustments to their linups with the upcoming 4070 release, next month.
Also forgot you were on vacation. Enjoy!

My buddy switched to an AM5 system with Ryzen 7900X3D. So yesterday we upgraded my system from Ryzen 5800X to his "old" 5800X3D. He got my 5800X for reselling and I paid him a hundred bucks for the upgrade. No hassle of reselling the old CPU on my side. |
Nice, congrats. Very nice upgrade for a bargain price.
The CPU does get fairly hot though with CO -30 its very power efficient and a beast for gaming.
