I finally switched to Nvidia. I am coming from an AMD 6950 XT to an RTX 4090. It hasn't arrived yet so I am still waiting. My tv is a Samsung Q80T which has an HDMI 2.1 port and has VRR, Freesync and according to RTINGS it is even G-Sync compatible. So here is my dilemma. I sold my 6950 XT and I...

I think you're mistaken about that. Nvidia cards starting at the 3000 series can do VRR over HDMI 2.1. I don't know about Gsync though. But like I said, RTINGS has the TV listed as G-Sync compatible and it definitely has no display ports.

I have used this TV with an AMD 6950 XT and have had no issues with getting Windows to give me the option to display at 120hz on any resolution. I bought a 4090 and its on its way. However I am currently using a 1060 which is only HDMI 2.0 since I sold the 6950 XT. Obviously I am unable to get...

I have a Sapphire Toxic 6950 XT I bought in September, great card but I have to upgrade. Yes I know, I am one of those. I went for a 4090 from Gigabyte OC version(not windforce) for a flat $2000. The guy told me he accepts returns within 30 days. I think the MSRP of that one is $1700, so a $300...

$1650.... I might as well shell out the extra $400 for a scalped 4090 right?

I hear a lot about bottleneck problems on the 4090. Will the 7900 X bottleneck it? If so how much would I be losing?

Oh you're right. My system currently has a R9 7900X I thought it would pair better with an AMD GPU. How does the 4080 stack against the 7900 XTX?

I really don't want to support this crap, I have been resisting since the launch of the 4090 and now with the 7900 XTX and I just can't get one at MSRP. So with the RMA, in case of coil whine, you think Sapphire will repair it?

Yeah the XT is always in stock.

Well I don't want to buy from these A-holes but what can we do? Spend days glued to the screen hoping to snatch one? I have owned 6 or 8 GPU's in my lifetime both from AMD and Nvidia and I don't think I have ever heard coil whine. Perhaps if I open the case and put my ear near it I could have...

No, my small town has no stores that sell GPU's...

There is a scalper on ebay selling scalped cards(yeah I know). He says he got them from Newegg and even sent me a photo to prove his orders were legit. He says he will send the receipt with the order for RMA. How would that work if its not under my name and my order history does not have said...

This makes lots of sense, as much as I would like to disagree, Ai upscaling and RT is the future. Probably because its cheaper than making expensive hardware.

I currently have a Sapphire Toxic 6950 XT which I bought 3 months ago and it is a great card. I am going to sell that card for maybe $400-500 dollars. So what dyou guys recommend? I want 4K 100+fps and some decent RT performance. I like ray tracing but I can do without it.
