Question 7900 xtx?

[ohio_buckeye]

Title says it. My local Microcenter has a powercolor hellhound 7900xtx for 799.

Current pc

7600x3d
32gb ddr5 Corsair vengeance rgb 6000
Asus tuf gaming b650 plus WiFi
Rx 6800xt
3 ssd drives-500gb boot, 2tb nvme and 2tb sata
Corsair rm850x purchased approximately 2021.

Monitor is 1440p 180hz 27 inch.

I realize a 7900xtx is overkill for 1440p, but that is a good price and a quick search on eBay says I should get 300-350 for my current card. Seems like a decent deal. 799 is about the best price I’ve seen on that class of card.

Part of me says wait until next generation but again that’s a decent price. They’ve also got the same model in a 7900xt version for 619.99.

It is a good price, I doubt AMDs next generation will be faster in raster only in ray tracing. Nvidia next gen will likely be expensive.

It's a good price, but I think the most important thing would be the combination of why you'd be upgrading and how long you wanted to keep it.

While I doubt the next generation of Radeon will be a lot faster than the 7900 XTX it will have significantly improved RT. There's also no guarantee that the improved AI version of FSR they're working on will be backwards compatible.

Personally speaking I'm running 1440p UW on my system and have zero intention of replacing my card until whatever the next generation is at the earliest (meaning Xe3/RTX 6xxx/RX 9xxx).
