Question RX 7800 XT is good for 1440p Ultra gaming ?

[Rajk2]

7800 XT is 120$ cheaper than 4070 Super here. So i wanted to know if its a good buy for max settings gaming, as i see many videos saying it lacks quality upscaling and poor performance with UE5 Games like Wukong, Stalker, Hellblade 2 etc..
I see the new Nvidia cards are selling 2 times the msrp now and i assume it follows the same with the 5070 too and the out of stock issue of most brands and the melting issue.
Will upcoming 90 series be at the same price point, so that i can wait?

Any suggestion would be helpful..

The 7800xt is a good card with performance that sits between the 4070 and 4070 super without ray tracing. There are a lot of reviews out there that are worth looking at to get an idea of the games thay interest you. Look at 1440p settings and what fps you want to hit and see if it suits you. If you look at the latest 5080 reviews from hardware unboxed / techspot or Gamers Nexus and they will show you some good detailed information. If the games you like are not covered then cast the net a bit wider to other sites.

No one knows the prices of the new AMD cards yet - by the looks of it they are waiting to see what the performance of the 5070 and 5070ti comes in at - and then release at a price deemed competitive to them at that stage. All performance figures until actual testing are really unknown.

I expect they will be similar in performance to the nvidia cards and have improved Ray tracing and upscaling performance but again this is just an estimate.

If you can wait then I would personally recommend doing so.

Got to love how nvidia and its partners, they create problems and then try to sell you "solutions".

upscaling technologies and frame gen -> create fake frames, image arctifacts and latency for a "smooth" experience, and of course, it wont make your 1% and .1% low better which are the one that mke things smooth.

Anyways, the worst part is that AMD and Intel are just copying nvidia, instead of doing things better.

And lets not forget about game studios/developers who launch "alfa" games as final products, and hopes gamers will turn On DLSS to compensate the lack of optimization. Then they also spend several months trying to make it work as a "final" product, while getting our money up front.

Just get the best card you can get with the best warranty and post services, and enjoy gamign with it. And remember to balance your GPU and your CPU, nothing good comes from pairing a super powerfull GPU with a Core i5 from 4 gens ago. So be sure to pay attention to that. Good GPU, means your CPU should also be good, else you are goig to be wasting potential.

I don't use DLSS, and as long as I can avoid it, I wont use it.

Well, I'm interested in 4070 super, but its the price, 12GB VRAM and price per dollar compare with 7800 XT stopping me to get it. Considering current Nvidia 50 series pricing and stock issues, I'm sure the same will happen with 5070 too, doubled the msrp.. but 9070 is far from launch, and i still dont expecting they gonna launch in March. I believe AMD might increase the prices as well because of their Increased ray tracing performance and nvidia's small performance boost from last GEN.. By looking at 6800 xt and 7800 xt having similar performance, i doubt the new GPU have any large increase in Raster perf boost.
So the confusion real..

Well, I don't want to use any upscaling as well. The reason why im towards AMD for pure performance for the price.. But the Newer games almost all have trouble giving 60fps barely even at 1080p on Max Settings on AMD cards, forget 1440p(Wukong at Very high is the prime Example, it even has cinematic setting don't know which card is capable) And i also don't want to wait devs to release perf patches even after 1 year of the game launch..
I have Ryzen 5 7600..
