This AMD RX 7800 XT might be the best graphics card value right now: $429, plus two free games

When I bought my 7800XT it came with Starfield and I'm still happy with the purchase. I played through that game and enjoyed it. I'm sure two games will make it even more worth it.
He’ll I paid $490 with no free game and it was still easily the best value in the midrange when the 4070 was $60 more with less VRAM and slower until you use ray tracing. Now I’m even able to fully use my 7800xt for any AI stuff I want to do (which doesn’t really go beyond image generation or code generation) and it’ll run larger models than a 4070. I’m sure somebody will tell me the 4070 is “faster” in AI, and I have no doubt it is, but the stuff I do runs in real time anyways so faster is just an abstraction.

The 7800xt is one of the not so many great AMD cards this generation. Hit a nice price point although I'd prefer it a little bit cheaper at launch. But every other model, oh man, AMD just decided to go ballistic and overcharged.
 
ahhhh, the "It didnt work, buy nvidia" response.

you obviously did something wrong, you dont get two bad cards back to back. Cmon man, stahp!
I tested with two PCs, bought new parts, tried various hardware configs and went to the point of reinstalling windows which didn’t rectify it and the issue has been asked multiple times on several forums.

And Nvidia didn't overcharge? OMG!

Did you buy it off Aliexpress?. Link the card you bought please. I am curious. I have been using AMD (ATi) since 1999, various ones from Hercules (My favorite) to Diamond, from the Rage and All-in-Wonder to current AMD cards, and only had one that went bad, it wasnt bad out of box. It was a RX580 from Asus. https://www.asus.com/motherboards-components/graphics-cards/dual/dual-rx580-8g/

The RMA went smooth actually and I still have the card. I have owned both, Nvidia and AMD and I know its anecdotal, but I have bought a <Mod Edit> ton of cards over the years, both have been pretty reliable.
