Review Sapphire RX 7800 XT Nitro+ Review: Big and Quiet

Likewise. I simply havent found a reason to justify the perfomance hit given the almost not existant results produced by enabling RT in the few games that I felt that maybe was worth turning it on.

I have a Series X and a 7900 XTX and besides the 30 fps and some missing details in Starfield, I am sincerely having a hard time observing the difference, without looking at the FPS counter.

And it looks like they havent even reached a proper utilization level on the latest consoles.

Agreed, I have a PS5, Series X and S. I am floored by the graphics of Gran Turismo 7. It looks almost real. I can't wait for Forza Motorsport next month.

I have an HP Omen 30L with an i9-10850K, 32GB RAM, RTX 3080. Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 set to high end configuration on that PC in 4K looks identical on the Series X. I honestly could not tell you the difference if I did not know in advance. I get a performance hit on the PC when running MSFS 2020 @60FPS.

On the Series X it is ultra smooth @30FPS. Supposedly MSFS 2024 will make a huge leap in performance, aaccording to Microsoft, both on the PC and consoles which is why they are moving on from MSFS 2020 as they are making major changes to the base code.

Since the days of the mighty 295x2 made by Sapphire...

I mean, I hate to say it, but that right there was a big part of your problem. The dual-GPU cards always felt like a way to push double the GPUs, often more than double the price, with a large helping of idiosyncrasies, instability, and troubleshooting on the side. I never recommended any of the dual-GPU cards (or SLI or CrossFire with two individual cards) as a great solution. I for one don't miss SLI at all. It added input latency, micro-stutter, and at best worked in maybe a quarter of the new games that came out.

I can't argue with you there. I was one of the cyber lemmings that joined the Mob that tried to adopt that tech. Headache after headache and big bucks for a display, cabling and capable card setup I ended up empty handed and robbed of more cash getting rid of a card I didn't ask or pay for in the end. If there was anything to be made of a multi gpu setup, AMD or Nvidia would still offer it.
