I just got this in the mail. Now I feel I should have gotten a 4090. Am I crazy?

Are you going ai stuff, or just gaming?
Nah man my brother got a hellhound 7900 xtx and it handles anything and everything he throws at it. He couldn’t be happier.
You’ll be enjoying that card for gaming especially since you don’t care too much about RT.
I got the same buyers remorse when I first plugged my 7900 XTX. But then I remembered all those 4090’s and 4080’s melting and exploding and I think I’m ok with missing a couple frames in 4K
Yes you are crazy.
Mate, just plug it in and send it
Yes you’re crazy, the 4090 costs a lot more and for what? RT you don’t even use, DLSS you won’t even need for most titles?
Just slot in the XTX and enjoy.
More reasonable comparison will be, 7900xtx is equal to rtx4080, in some cases it beats 4080 but gets beaten pretty well by 4080 when ray tracing is involved. That being said, the RYX4090 is a crazy beast, AMD does not have anything which can be at it at this stage so if you can afford it, go for 4090 but 7900xtx should hold up pretty well in the coming years
I had a 4070ti, upgraded to rtx7900xtx but ended up upgrading to rtx4090 hahaha
At least with that, you don’t have to worry about burning power connectors.
You saved $500-600 dollars for a little less performance. The 7900 xtx is an excellent card.
you crazy
If you wanted dlss or good RT then yes get a 4090
Yes. Go buy 4090
As someone who doesn’t really care about RT and DLS, I wouldn’t pay 1k extra for a 4090, you did good my guy, just enjoy what you got
I mean I would have but thats just me. I dont care what these guys are saying “RT you dont even use” ha, the rtx cards does REAL TIME ray tracing, AMD users dont know what that is, in other words my game doesnt have to be coded for ray tracing, it does it anyways. But dude, be happy with what you got, the 4090 is god awful in price vs what it should be, enjoy that shit get a 4090 used in a year or two for half the price
Also I will have to agree with others in the comment section with the connection the 40 series is using, which is why I decided to go 3080ti when the 40 series came out.
refund, 4090 allday
The 4090 is literally 600$ more expensive they are not even in the same tier.
4080 is the 7900XTX competiter
I went with an all AMD build and have the 7900 XTX. It really is a beast of a card. I think once you see games running on it that fomo will go away.
The 4090 is a better card, yes. But the 7900 xtx is the 2nd or 3rd best card currently, and you saved 600 bucks.
The two cards aren’t even in the same price bracket
No, you’re just lonely and fishing for attention.
I’m sorry but what the fuck is this post?
Wouldn’t this be more comparable to the 4080? Except that would have better upscaling quality, better frame gen, better RT, better compatibility with various creative workloads…
People are saying you saved $500-600 but that’s only because it’s an unequal comparison.
You saved like ~$200.
Personally if I was spending ~$1000 on a GPU I wouldn’t want to make any compromises.
I bought the 7800 XT because it was extremely competitive at its price point and spending 20% more for the nvidia option is worse raster.
If I had 7900 XTX/ 4080 money I would buy the 4080.
You’re still in time , you still paid about 1000$ for it (probably) make sure it is what you want.
And remember the 4090 is other full 600$ away.
I’ll tell you what I tell anyone who asks me about having a 4090.
If the difference in price doesn’t affects your finances much.
Definitely get it. It’s crazy how freaking powerful that GPU is.
But if getting the 7900XTX was already a big effort , don’t make a very financially irresponsible decision for having “the best” GPU.
I love my 4090:

But ti was slightly irresponsible, didn’t went bankrupt or anything , but I did had to sacrifice a 5 day trip/vacation to Italy i had already booked and looking forward, because I couldn’t fit both things in my 2022 Q4 trimester’s budget.
So I found myself questioning a lot if it was worth it.
For me it was , but for someone where the sacrifice is more than giving up on a small trip He might just regret the GPU.
Every time I think this with my 7900 XTX I remember all of the neverending posts of people still posting up their 4090 melted 12v connectors. Then I feel better
I’ve been running this a while and holy hell it’s fantastic. No issues at all and we saved hundreds of dollars. AFAIK, ray tracing is really the only experienced downfall but even then most games utilize it with this card to very little fps impact
Least this one isn’t a fire hazard
Most people don’t use DLSS or Ray Tracing. Most of the games I play don’t even support it, yet it’s the first thing brought up when graphics cards are mentioned.
If you use those features constantly hey, get the card that’s going to give you the best experience with them. But personally? I don’t know one person who uses those features.
If you ever decide to switch to Linux, you definitely won’t regret the gpu choice
