By optimized you mean running the games at low resolutions and low settings.

And low fps.

And low fps.

We've seen the "optimization" on full display with Black Myth Wukong and plenty others.

You're not psyop-ing me into upgrading at these prices.

Shit I'm trying to find a $100 7600 as a catastrophic back up. I'm just talking about something that plays games. We're getting into uncharted waters fellas.

It does, for old gaming, not for modern.

Are you upgrading from 1XXX or RX 4XX/5XX, it makes sense. From 2 generations ago at the current prices it doesnt.

I beg to differ. At $560, my Hellhound 9070 non xt was a worthy upgrade over my 6900XT. Way better RT, FSR4, 220w vs 300w consumption (and living in FL with the pc in a closed office this is huge) while also performing better (easily uv/oc'ed it to about 9070XT performance).

Trust me, I keep my cards a long time (took a R9 290X from 2013 to 2019) but after the years of BS in the gpu space, buying a card with newer features when the price is right is absolutely worth it.

The 4090 is the new evergreen GPU. When we all saw that it was a lot better than the 5080, I laughed hard.

Excuse me? a lot better than a 5080?

In fairness, it is. Though I'd still take the 5080 due to the power consumption difference.

Edit: removed the techspot link... was supposed to go to the 4k average results but kept going to the main page. We've all seen the benchmarks at this point I'm sure.

That said, glad I picked up a Powercolor Hellhound 9070 for $560 new recently... they are sitting at $610 now and will likely only go up at this point

It would be a awesome card and competitive card if Nvidia priced it correctly.

I'm with a 9070xt, 32gb ram, a heavy processor and a huge air cooler.

Let the winter come.

The extra 8GB and 15% better performance more than make up for that power consumption difference.

Until it melts the power connector. I think there was only 1 or 2 reports of 5080s with that issue.

I'm a vram guy and I'd normally agree, but living in FL cooling is a real problem. I'm on my 3rd 16gb card at this point (Radeon VII > 6900XT > RX9070)
