[SOLVED] Assistance with compability

[FlamingChesus]

Hello everyone.

I've recently decided to buy either Radeon VII or 5700 XT.

What consernse me is that i have I9 9900k so i want to ask since im not familiar with compability of GPU's and CPU's

Will it work without issues, since i saw all sorts of different results on different CPU's and these two GPU's

To be more specific will it bottle neck i9 or otherway around?

Thank you?

How well they work together depends on your use case?
Radeon VII is not a capable gaming gpu, crazy power hungry, and support is already EoL... all in less than a year.


Do you have a good power supply?

I had in my PC 2080ti before. It died so im looking for something new and different but i have PSU of 1.2kW

Different - ah, so that explains the switch to AMD... although they have nothing nowhere near the performance of the 2080Ti.
Which, by the way, were you not able to RMA, or get a replacement 2080Ti under warranty?


Radeon VII just isn't a good idea simply because of how quickly it went out of production and driver support is dead; any software/driver issues you may run into when using that card won't be fixed.
AMD cut their losses quickly on this thing.

Yeah i got the refund of 2080ti. But unfortunately there is none available in my country at this moment. So i wanted to seek alternatives. I was leaning from 2070 to Radeon so i wanted to do my research and questions before i just go and buy like a lunatic

Are you running a 4K monitor, or 1440p one? A 2080 Super would be the next step down from the 2080Ti, and the next best alternative for 4K gaming.
After that, it's either 2070 Super or 5700XT.
