in 2010s era, 4GB was enough unless you turn on Max shadow setting lol that crap required so much VRAM. Now it doesn't even make a dent in most games as we got cache for shadows and 8gb-16GB VRAM. High Quality or Ultra Shadow setting was the Ray Tracing back then lol
@@rolandvogt7790 I remember those days. My first upgrade was an ATI card (I dont remember model) with 64mb of ram! It was miles better than the integrated graphics with only8mb of memory.
Went from a 3080ti to a 7900XTX. Have always been a Nvidia guy since forever and confess to having bought into the constant stuff that AMD is bad, the drivers are awful blah blah. My 7900XTX has been flawless from a stability point of view. Happy to recommend AMD now to people that ask me, the value proposition is unmatched.
I did the same , changed my RTX 3080 to an AMD RX 7900GRE and couldn't be happier apart from Ray tracing Performance but no more vram warnings no more stutters and low fps due to the lack of vram at 1440p and runs a lot cooler. As you mentioned the software is just better than Geforce Experience, easier to navigate and more intuitive.
@@ShadowStarTech afmf 2 soon coming and it will double fps in every game :D tryed with raytracing on cyberpunk 2077 on preview driver on rx 7900 gre and things looking good atm :D ofc needs more polishing since its preview driver but i think we got very nice future for 7000 series gpus
Glad people are starting to see through the misinformation and lies about AMD. fact is Nvidia has just as many issues as AMD at this point which isn't anything major with either unless as you said in this video you doing something wrong. I use both brands but prefer AMD as for one I am a Linux user so do all my gaming on Linux and love I don't have to mess with Nvidia's sh*tty Linux drivers as AMD is built into linux so just works out of the box and two you just simply can NOT beat AMD's price to performance and it has been that way for decades.. I do use a Nvidia card for a windows VM but I rarely have to use it as most of everything I need to do does work outside windows
This is so true. There's still issues with Nvidia. No brand is perfect and there will always be some issues that happen with updates. Sure, updates squash bugs but they also create more bugs.
@@tohur Nvidia has gotten better on Linux but the 10 series doesn't necessarily work as well as newer cards. Likewise, AMD has its own headaches on Linux if you want to use production software and even some games might need proprietary blobs. Nvidia is open sourcing kernel modules which is a step in the right direction at least. I'm excited to get a 7900 GRE build and put Linux on it in the future. I haven't used an AMD card since the HD series which predates RDNA, RX 400, and Vega even. AMD was kind of crap on Linux back then but they've really improved across the board. Currently I use an Acer Nitro 5 3050 ti 4 GB laptop with Windows and an old HP 8200 Elite SFF with a 1050 ti running Linux. I would run Linux on my laptop more if not for it causing static.
@@tohur not necessarily lies, not everyone had the same experience as you or shadowstartech. there are more complaints on amd esp on driver support, and it's really annoying how one's opinion on something esp the guys at amd/help reddit group people have issues every second and none seems to get resolved. most common fixes are "update your drivers using ddu" "downgrade and find the perfect driver". so much headache for you to play one game on your steam library. might as well buy a console or an nvidia card to not risk the headache:/
You can massively overclock those. Great GPU, just don't use raytracing, handles 1440p easy, literally best GPU for the price range. Latest FSR features are actually good. Native fsr is a huge visual improvement.
So first thing is don't push the OC to hard and set up a profile per game a single OC will never work for all games IT WILL RESET AND CRASH EVENTUALLY. I like to tweak the freq and voltage little by little as the gpu freq goes higher then stop alittle under where it starts to level off due to the game or power/temp limits. Usually alittle can be gained on the memory but not allot maybe 100mhz I'm running 2554mhz fast timing and it's rock solid. If u have issues like returning from a game to desktop and it black screens and locks up u whent to far. I like AMDs radeon chill feature, I like setting up fps from 70/80 to around 85% of max GPU load. Keeps my temps down and acts like a input latency reducing feature (use app latency measurement in CapFrameX overlay). Also usable with AFMF2 (80-118 for 240hz panel) now with preview drivers 👍 Track your delta hotspot temp over GPU temp if u have a delta beyond 20°C u need to step it back or figure out if u need ptm7950 thermal paste. Always goto safe mode in windows to use either DDU or AMDs cleanup utility to Uninstall and Reinstall versions of drivers. Use Dism and SFC file check to keep windows from coruption if u suspect an issue, but sometime windows is just fubar and needs a reset.
You sure can but every 1 or 2 days when the driver crashes you have to set it again...never AMD GPU's anymore for me! Nvidia is rocksolid no issues where AMD keeps crashing and you need tp reroll your drivers every 2nd or 3rd driver download because they screw up that often!
@@karlos1060 i never had any issues with drivers, only time i had ANY issues with drivers crashing was when i was undervolting my GPU. Stock settings run like butter
I put my overclock a little lighter and I haven't had any issues for about 2 days now. So if it's still crashing just put it down a notch and test it out.
Nice one! I'm getting a Ryzen 7 9700X + RX 7800 XT (my options are limited where I live) 1440p 144hz build this Black Friday, really excited for my first desktop.
I’ve had my 7800XT for about 2 months now and I love it. With custom Overclock, I’m getting 200+ FPS on Forza 5 and Cyberpunk 2077 1440p max settings even with ray tracing on (Forza, RT on extreme) using AFMF 2, no FSR, only MSAA 8x. Games look beautiful and smooth. Was honestly so surprised by the results of a card in the $400 range.
@@Luckbonus yessir. I am using an XFX 7800 XT for reference, my overclock isn’t crazy aggressive so it should be okay if you decide to get a 7800 XT from another vender. For GPU tuning, I set the min MHz to 2680 and max MHz to 2900. I then set the voltage to 1070 mV. For VRAM tuning, I set it to 2550 MHz with memory timing on default. Then for Power Tuning I set it to 15%
@@acev3521 I've been using XFX Merc 310 7900XT and in terms of price/performance at the top end you can hardly beat that thing. I'd highly recommend it.
For Overclocking Check out Ancient Gamplays 7800xt video. I did his 7900xtx overclocking profile and its so good , never crashes. 500-2900 mhz low /high, 1125 undervolt, 2714 on memory, normal timings, and 50% fan speed for 7900xtx overclock. Works great , helps temps , give 2-6% increase for free.
Found a 7800 xt for ~300usd which is roughly the same as my 3070 goes for where i live. Love to see reviews and such before things I order arrive, so keep up the good work!
Yea the fact that you got this card basicaly for free doesn't mean everybody can get those at such low price. You got an amazing deal , in fact too good for some reason. I hope it lasts long to you and doesn't break in the first 6 months or a year cause some people really treat their cards badly such mining etc and then they sell them super low price.
@@RTX4080SUPERGAMINGVery true! The guy claimed that it hadent been used, but you never know what state its in. He had pretty good reviews though so Im very hopefull. Still a good priced card at full price, but not worth it compared to nvidia where I live
Not only ray tracing Amd lack feature too.. The reason some people who use amd gpu protest about stutering shader bla bla, even lack graphic optimatizon feature who sometime can't fix graphic shimering etx
I switched to AMD and don't regret it. I'm a bit of an old-school gamer. I don't use ray tracing, I don't use upscaling, and I turn off all the goofy affects like chromatic abberation, motion blur, and film grain, turn up texture quality to max, and enjoy. AMD fits my play style well right now, with good rasterization performance and plenty of VRAM for the textures. I currently use a 7800 XT at 1440p 144hz.
Whats the reason you dont use upscalers? I cant stand those random flickers , dont understand how they like that stuff. Tested both Dlss and Fsr. Dlss looks better overall but im more concern of flickering.
@@genasgenas In my opinion, upscaling to fix things like flickers is not a solution to those problems, it's a cover up / work around. I don't want lower resolution smeared to a higher resolution. I want the higher resolution rendering to be improved at that higher resolution. And gamers need to see those blemishes so that GPU engineers and game developers are encouraged to work on those rendering issues and not just obscure them with upscaling.
@@Skotty64081when upscaling to 4k, and even 1440p, DLSS can provide a much better image than either TAA or Native. Hardware unboxed has an excellent video on the subject, and it's worth a look. DLSS has made great strides since launch, and have even given gamers the option to upgrade it manually on games supporting DLSS 2.0 or greater via a simple DLL swap.
You can create custom profiles using the square with arrow icons at the top right corner. I always recommend custom undervolt (not the auto). You can drop temps and power draw, A LOT while still being stable at stock clocks. You also get access to the power limit setting (I usually set to max) for more stable power delivery while undervolted. Voltage tends to bounce without the slider set to max, essentially telling the card you have this available if needed, which allows it to stay more consistent since it’s less likely to hit the limit. A custom fan curve is also recommended, cause stock can be a bit conservative on fan RPMs 4:22
people who tend to bash AMD are Nvidia fanboys, i never understood that, i myself went from a 4090 to a 7900xtx not because i wanted to but was forced to, nvidia to this date hasn't fixed the major bug on some systems where it only shows a black screen on a dual monitor setup or a ultrawide monitor. and it's been 2 years all i can say is that using AMD made me realize how bad the fanboyism on Nvidia's side is that they resort to lying and 100% never used any AMD product.
@@critical-thinker666 first of all huh? and secondly just because nvidia golds the highest market gap doesn't mean that their GPU's should be priced like they are.
4:18 You can actually make a custom profile and save it. Under the gear icon in the top right corner you see 2 other icons, one to import and one to export (the one on the right) choose the one on the right to export your settings to where you'd like. Great video, keep it up 💪
Good for you. I'm saving for maybe a 5090 or 6090 (first laptop/PC specs was i5 6200u Dell laptop) PC setup with AMD CPU (for that iGPU for light gaming) after 5 years or so. It's gonna be a crazy upgrade lol
I did the same upgrade. It was hefty but worth it. Sold the 3080ti to a friend for $500 in August of 2023. CP2077 looks glorious with max settings at 4K with a Samsung S90C. *chef’s kiss*
That driver version had an issue where it reset tuning on wake from sleep/reboot. You can save your custom tuning settings with the buttons on the top right section of the tuning page. Just mouse over each to see what they do. I recommend undervolting the GPU and doing a custom fan curve. Enjoy.
i was a Nvidia user for a long time, then i bought a 6950xt and it's been flawless for 2 or 3 years now. I also have a new build with a 4080 and both brands are just as stable. My recommendation for any brand is don't update the driver unless you really have to like in new game optimization releases and only do it if the driver has been whql certified and wait like a month to see if no issues are reported by users.
I also think it's important to not misinform people about amd, yes they are the underdog of GPUs but they still have value especially on the low/mid range, i would recommend a kid a 6600 10 out of 10 times over a 3050/3060 unless the 3060 was super cheap or used
How do you like the RX 7900 XT? I am stuck on either going for a Radeon RX 7900 XT 20GB or RTX 4070 Ti Super. I have two CPU's Intel Core i7-14700K and AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D. (I have these options because I bought a prebuilt PC and a month later my friend stopped gaming and gave me some parts so I am stuck on choosing a graphics card but I have two really good CPU's. From my understanding the RX7900 XT would be better with the AMD CPU and so on.
Honestly I'm still hesitant in switching despite so many obvious reasons nowadays to be switching from Nvidia to AMD with the more VRAM hungry games coming out and more affordable prices. The only thing pulling me back is how different the experience will be when using programs like Premiere Pro and Photoshop as well as PS2/3 and Nintendo emulation
I built my first computer in April and went with the 7900 XT. People hate on AMD but they've got REALLY good GPUs at just a fraction of the price that Nvidia has them on. I myself use RTX on my computer with my games and have run into NO ISSUES.
Do you understand that if you activate RT, your card is lower performances than a cheaper 4070s (which is equivalent to a 7900xtx with RT on) ? I'm just asking, because you might not actually know.......why pay more than a 4070s to get less FPS than a 4070s, this is what you actually do the moment you activate RT in your games.......
@@vaiman7777GPU boost is a must have for competitive games. I can't tell you how annoying it is going in and out of boxes in fortnite and having your AMD GPU hitch as it tries to boost its clocks. You can fix this by manually setting the base clocks closer to your boost, but the settings seemed to reset at random. Until Radeon antilag is working properly, I refuse to buy an AMD gpu. There's also DLSS, which is a much better and far more prevalent solution compared to FSR. I'm glad to see AMD working on solutions of their own with antilag and now FSR 4, but it seems they're always a step or two behind Nvidia. At the high end you'd have to be crazy to not fork over the extra $50 for that "Nvidia tax"
You can even have overclock/underclock profiles for each individual game and it switch when the game launch. It is very usefull when some games are stable at some overclock but others dont.
I only noticed this is a new channel at the end of the video. Really great content! Switching to the 7800XT was a great choice - the extra VRAM really makes a difference these days! This channel deserves way more subscribers; keep up the great work!
i still use 2gb and its enough for me haha, u can laugh but i can play any game (i want) on above 60fps medium, im talking cs2, r6, the finals, Delta force hawk ops, fortnite
A guy bought RTX 4090 for fortnite which he could had managed with a RTX 3050 and save some money... Edit: I am sorry guys for saying Rtx 3050 so GTX 780 should do the job actually
Noooooo I did not!!! That's just the only Unreal Engine 5 game I have played and my 3060ti STRUGGLED with it so to see how well this gpu does is impressive and I wanted to show it. I think UE5 is a great test to see how well gpus can hold up since that's how games will be coming forward.
You can save your custom tuning and OC profiles. Just click the export button to save as, and then click the import button to load up your saved profile
I was going to get it a few months ago but it was only available at micro center and I live hours away. Once I finally was ready to purchase it was sold out too. Unfortunate but I am glad I got the newer gen because of newer hardware and AV1 support.
I've been using Amd cards since Ati 9000 series! never had stability or driver issues. Currently running 5600xt and a 6750xt both have been excellent for my needs.
Back when I bought my 6800, the choice was either that or the 3070Ti for $340 used. At the time, games like The Last of Us Part 1 and Hogwarts Legacy had just come out, and seeing VRAM usage creep past 12GB at 1440p gave me much assurance. Yes, the 3070Ti was significantly better at RT and upscaling, but it didn't even have the memory to run my games at my desired quality. No amount of RT in the world will make up for low res textures. In a perfect world, I would've happily paid $400 for a used 16GB 3070Ti, and I know there are ways to mod the card into 16GB, but then I'd have to tinker with the VBIOS and whatnot. There simply weren't any Nvidia options for me. The 4060Ti 16GB came out much later, and personally I never felt like the card was worth $500 brand new. Maybe $400 max, 370-380 for a really good price. Ada prices were so garbage that I got turned off big time. Now I'm looking forward to the 8800XT, which I'll prolly pick up used for $400 or less.

you can save oc profiles in tuning. Hit the export profile to the top right, looks like share icon. then use import to apply profile to the left of it - if it has crashed. When i install a new driver (btw ddpu is your friend here), I take a screenshot of my oc profile, and set it up again, then save.
You can save your profiles In the top righthand corner of the "tuning" tab. Also have a OC 7800 XT but from XFX called Merc it's a very nice GPU. You're right about people talking trash. I will always pick my card on the bases of value, have absolutely no brand loyalty only idiots are fan-bois.
I of course found that right after I put this video up 😂 The XFX cards are huge so I'm sure that has great cooling performance, and same for me with the brand loyalty. I will only buy stuff that's a good deal and has good value for my money. Same goes for CPUs, too.
@@ShadowStarTech When it comes to CPU's I also consider longevity, I don't like changing motherboard if I can avoid it. Feels like building a new PC then.Yes, the XFX card is a big boy, just barely fit. I'm happy I opted for a for a full size ATX case.
I had an 7800xt and it failed - right after the warranty period. I then picked up a 7900xt for a reasonable price and I really love it! I am monitoring the heat output because I run DCS, a flight sim that is pretty heavy on graphics output, but I haven't had any issues and I've had it more than a year now.
I went from a RTX 3050 8GB model to an RX 7700XT (Same ASUS Model as you now have) and I couldnt belive that I was running a 3050 for almost 3.5 years without upgradeing it..
I bought the 7800XT with a similar thinking - The 7900 GRE was about 10% faster and about 10% more expensive (~500€ vs. ~550€). So where do you stop ... So far I'm satisfied, coming from a 1080ti. No need to cut down details in 1440p, decent framerates.
"everybody that says something is with amd clearly are doing something wrong" ......like running their software on default and leting it untouched? Horendous bugs i encountered on my 7800 xt that are not solved . I m waiting for about 7 months but nothing happens. Also ddu doesn t help
I upgraded from a 1070Ti to the 6900XT 3 years ago. The performance was comparable to the 3080 at the time, but £300 cheaper & with more VRAM. It's still holding up well; I play in 4K on a 50" screen & only have a couple of games that struggle for frames. The only thing I don't like is the ReLive software, after shadowplay it's severley lacking in quality & features. So I use actual OBS instead. I doubt I'll ever use NVidia again unless they have some huge discount.
Love this gpu i went from a Gtx 1650 to this one rx 7800 xt (3 fan version) so that was a huge upgrade for me , i buyed it after 1 month of building my new pc and it goes well with my Ryzen 7 5700G even tho its not the best combo but compared to my old pc my experience is so much better , i dont experience stutters or slowlyness in games or using programs , i play in 1080p and the experience is buttery smooth, but planning to upgrade to 1440p or 4k in the future! Have fun with your new gpu :)
@@ZerQion you wont be disappointed. i gained a lot, a lot of Frame rate just only swapping out my 3700X with 5700X on my 2nd gaming PC with exact same hardware and GPU. all the games i played gained a big increase in frame rate. especially MMORPG and Simulator games.
You can save overclocking profiles on adrenaline from the tuning page and at the top right there is a "export profile" and a "import profile". I personally do the minimal install to access the driver and display tweaks but use afterburner for the tuning. 7900xt user upgraded from a 3070 because the vram was gimping that card hard
Holy crap I can't even imagine running that many pixels. Hopefully the next AMD gpus have even more vram. I hope to upgrade again to AMD's next high end lineup.
Yeah, I splurged on the 7900xtx and despite one hiccup (the first one I got was defective but still under warranty so the company only asked one question (what’s your power supply rated) and asked me to ship mine, got the replacement within 2 weeks.) I’ve been thrilled with it. Have an ultrawide 1440p monitor and even the most demanding stuff’s been 90+ fps, so I’m pretty sure I’m clear for the next 4-5 years
I love being in team red I love that the 7900xt sapphire has 24gb of vram and crushes 4k gaming for 3 years(I think) I have been using the 6700 XT GPU its amazing can't wait to upgrade in a few months!
I am also now a AMD GPU user. Used to buy mid-range 70 series Nvidia cards. Decided to give AMD a shot this time around. Better bang for your buck. Splurged a little bit and went with a 7900 XTX. I've only had instability in one game. Kept getting driver timeout crashes in Avatar frontiers of Pandora (amazing looking game btw). Came free with the card. Then I guess an update happened and the problem went away. I really couldn't be any happier with this GPU.
@@tiberiumirica8445 This. Depending on your use case, it makes sense to test with what you use the most and or your hardest to run game. When I got my 6800 in late 2020, CP2077 was the hardest game I had to run (was mostly because of how terrible the launch performance was more than anything but...) but I also tested the other games I'd played a lot at the time, Destiny 2 and HZD.
Sounds like someone hasn't paid attention to fortnite these last 4 years. No game makes my GPU cry like fortnite. Even without nanite or lumen, my GPU sees about 80-90% usage at 1080p max with my frames capped at 144fps. It's easily one of the best PC test thanks to the game acting as an unreal engine demo for experimental features
I bought a 7800xt and had nothing but stuttering issues. No matter what I did. What I tweaked it never went away. Sold it and swapped to 4070ti super and it runs flawlessly in all games. Ill never know what my issue was but I cant go back to amd again after that. It was horrible.
Same here, but with a 6700xt and 6800. Ended up sending both back due to stutters and shader comp issues. I was more than content with the performance, but the inconsistencies were killing me
Leave the base settings stock. So when you boot you will have no problem. You can tune each game individually. The GPU will adjust to the game when you open it, then go back to stock when you close the game. Its freaking fantastic.
If you want to be a streamer you should definitely go Nvidia since they have better encoders (not that amd doesn't have good ones) but I'd say it's more worth it if you favor stream quality and absolutely no lag.
@@airzeroHDyou can try to to with a 4070 ti super if money isnt an issue, the 4070 doesnt have the av1 encoder on it, which might become relevant soon enough, but up to you
Latest AMD drivers are close to Nvidia, and there is less performance loss. The whole Nvidia being better for streaming argument is not what it was years ago.
What settings were you running and on what games? vRAM is important but it is far from the only factor that is important to performance. I'd quite happily for example swap the RTX 3060 12GB in my gaming PC for a 3080 10GB. Yeah I'm losing vRAM but I'd be gaining performance. Drivers are also another important issue, the 900 series from Nvidia are still getting up to date drivers whereas the RX 580, release three years later, in my TV PC now has to hope custom drivers come out. AMD does seem to cut their cards off earlier. vRAM means very little when the rest of the card can't keep up or the games can't be played because the drivers are out of date.
I also switched to AMD recently, two weeks ago. Had a Nvidia RTX 3060 12GB Aero OC from Gigabyte and now got me a Asus TUF RX 7800 XT OC 16GB. Just because I wanted to have more performance and more VRAM and my budget was 500€. Installation was easy with DDU and I haven‘t had any issues with stability or drivers and all of my games run super smooth now with way more FPS on higher settings. Overall, I am very happy with the upgrade and AMD.
Good review. Most AMD hate is just a smeer campaign. I've owned and build both platforms and the price to performance (raw performance) almost always goes to amd especially in modern times. The 7600 xt is kinda meh but has 16gb of vram so there's that. I'm probably going to upgrade from a 6750 xt 12gb to a massive 7900 xtx (or maybe just the xt) with intel cpu issues and nvidia price gouging....amd is coming up fast!
@ShadowStarTech thank you so much! Also...play fortnite on whatever gpu you wish, it's your money and your game lol. You better believe I'll be playing fortnite on 1440p ultra settings with my 7900xtx lol 😆
This video came into my recommended at a good time. As of this morning, I’ve ordered a 7800 XT to upgrade from my 3060 ti - good to hear the switch over was smooth and performance warrants the upgrade! Cheers
I'm glad you saw my video! Convenient that we both upgraded from a 3060TI to a 7800XT. Make sure to use DDU and then install AMD Adrenaline and it should be smooth sailing. Enjoy it!
@ sad news, after a few days of trying to get it to work, I just can’t get my 7800 xt to stay on for longer than 10 minutes without crashing… The Adrenalin software does NOT like my gpu at all and as soon as it boots up, it crashes
Spinning a fan by hand like that won’t do anything. Now, spinning a fan with a very strong blower “can” have bad side effects but when blowing dust of a fan just hold it in place for the most part and don’t let it go crazy mode.
I actually did the other way. Moved from 6950XT to 4080 Super. Nothing wrong with the 6950XT just sold the PC and built new one from scratch. I love the ray tracing and less temps + power draw after undervolting the 4080 super
I made the same transition , from 3060ti to a 7800xt. Generally it has been a positive experience, stable and very good performance. I hade an issue ( still have it lol ) where the refresh rate droped to max 144 hz after the latest driver update ; before it used to go up to 165hz , as monitor supports it 😊
I switched from a 6800xt to a 4090. I think the lighting and clarity are amazing on the 4090, but the color and the fine background details looked better on AMD.
You can make a custom profile and save it. You just set it, and then click the little arrows on the top right to export the tuning profile:) But it doesn't make a big difference in most gpus tbh. You're better off just keeping it stock lol.
Top right corner of the tuning page has a symbol that looks like a square with an arrow coming out of it, one is for saving preset and one is for loading saved preset ! AMD thought about it for us 😉
You have to have more than one week of experience on AMD cards to recommend them to others. I went from a 3080 to a 7900XTX thinking exactly what you just said. I used the AMD card for a year and a half until I finally just got fed up with broken drivers and went back to an Nvidia card. There is absolutely no reason that a driver update should cause your GPU temperature to jump 20° on the desktop and simultaneously lose 15% of its performance. Yeah that was a bad driver because only after I completely wiped with DDU a third time and redownloaded the drivers from scratch did it fix the issue. Adrenaline tuning is trash, it always has been, and I don’t see them fixing it anytime soon. Just use MSI afterburner, you can overclocking, undervolt, set custom fan curves and power profiles and you can lock those settings and select to enable them every time window starts up. I have my overclocked 75 MHz on the core and 1500mhz on the memory using after burner and even at 100% utilization with Ray tracing, my card never goes above 66°C. It took a few clicks and about a minute and the settings never need to be adjusted.
Exactly. I had way too many driver timeouts causing black screens in the middle of games with my 6700 XT switching back to NVIDIA with a RTX 4070 was the best thing I ever did
Been using AMD for years. Currently the last 2 years I've been using the 7900xtx without those issues. Yet similar issues to what you described happened to my friend for the better half of the year running a 4080. All I can say is, shit happens. No product is perfect
Im actually in a reversed boat. I come from amd gpu and cpu (am not switching CPU, they kick ass). I am happy to move away from adrenalin, and in some games simply switching from amd to nvidia solved some bothersome graphical problems. Ive been using pc’s for decades, and now having tried amd and nvidia/intel in all shapes - its amd cpu with nvidia cards.
Upgraded from a 1050ti to a used nitro + 700xt about a month ago, been a pretty smooth ride so far. Apart from ray tracing hiccups, handles everything thrown at it smoothly.
I was in the same position and got a GRE Hellhound for $550 and I kind of love it. It runs so cool and quiet and crushes 1440p. I like that 7800, it's a good looking card, boxy and black is my aesthetic of choice.
I switched from NVIDIA to AMD because the rasterizing performance was better for the price. I got a used RX 7900 XTX for €850, which would’ve been €1,100 new. I'm happy with it overall, but saying that if you have instability, it's your fault and not the GPU is bs. Just because it works for you doesn’t mean it will for everyone. I had minor driver issues at first, like incorrect readings in GPU-Z. And later I got driver timeouts so a black screen crash every 1-2 Hours. I tried EVERYTHING without success until I installed AMD drivers without the software and made some registry tweaks. Since then, it’s been stable, but you don’t get issues like this with NVIDIA. The encoder is also terrible for low Bitrates-I use an old GTX 950 for Twitch streaming because it handles low bitrates better. Otherwise, the GPU is fine. And btw you can make a own profile.
@@brosghost What? I don't care much about ray tracing. My old graphics card was an RTX 3080, and I'm playing with the RX 7900 XTX at 1440p. The ray tracing performance is still better than my old RTX 3080, so I still have more ray tracing performance than before. I can play Cyberpunk on Ultra graphics with the Ultra ray tracing preset 1440p, getting 60-70 FPS natively. With XeSS 1.3, it looks like native, and I get around 80-85 FPS, so that's fine.
I went from a GTX 1080 to a 7900 XT, didn't get disappointed one bit. Such a huge improvement tho. Kinda crazy tho that the 3060 was still similar to the 1080... A bit sad learning that AMD won't be making high end GPU anymore, but maybe their midline will be that cost effective that I'll stick with them further down the line in 6 years.
AMD will again, but they just arent right now. They dont sell enough cards to make the development worth it compared to Nvidia and they'd have to charge too much. I have little doubt once they regain some of the market they will bring back upper echelon cards again.
Were you playing on 1440p with the 3060 ti? That would explain the vram issue because 12gb is the new norm for that resolution, and even that apparently runs out in some titles. It’s wild honestly
i ended up getting a 4070 instead of a 7800xt. my original plan was to get a simple mid end upgrade from my 1660. Bought an RX 7600 and I couldnt play anything bc most my games crashed or performed terribly. It could've been a case of a faulty card but That experience made me save up a little more and go for the 4070. stable gaming experience so far!
That is an experience I understand. I appreciate that you actually bought and used the card. That is unfortunate though. What I don't understand is that people just completely block out even the possibility of using an AMD card at all. Not even a consideration is just sad especially since those people likely run an AMD cpu!!
How long ago did this happen? AMD is known for bad drivers (although it's said that they have fixed it in recently years) perhaps a bad driver and you should've gone to prev stable driver but yeah NVIDIA's drivers update alot less frequently and are alot more stable they are plug and play basically but downside is having to create geforce accounts, drivers consuming more cpu power than amd's and a worse UI (Imo). I just AMD only to people who like tinkering in their settings abit NVIDIA is better to just buy and play
@@falcon_224 this was a few months ago. i tried different driver versions, used ddu, reinstalled windows, tried with amd adrenaline/without, tried different bios settings and all. i really think I just got a bad card but either way it didnt matter what I did, Id get the same results of display drivers crashing or bad performance
@@ShadowStarTech oh 100% agree. ive been using amd CPUs for years now on all my builds and they've been nothing but amazing. Currently running a 7800x8d, things a BEAST at anything lol.
@@falcon_224indeed i just had that experience of going black screen after 15-30 mins of gaming pc is running just nothing is showing in screen no signal i have tried everything no luck obviously it was used but i dont know what was the issue
Having this exact Asus dual oc Rx 7800 xt for almost 4 months. Very stable and good gpu. During all of that time, I only had 1 instance of BSOD, but i can't tell whether it's gpu related or anything else, so I consider it as very stable experience.
He said I wish you could make a custom profile and save it... You literally can... Tune and lock in your settings... Export profile and load it ANYTIME you want.
Upgraded from a 5700xt to a Sapphire 7900XT and I got extremely lucky with the bin, VRAM overclocks to 2820 and GPU clocks to 3400 completely stable. Upgrading my 5800X to a 9800X3D once it comes out too, can't wait!
Man i just switched from a TUF 3080 10Gb to a Sapphire Pulse 7900XTX and dude it's insane how much faster it is for real in pure rateruzation stuff yeah ill be keeping this gut for awhile
I went from a 1070ti to a 6700XT, i was pleased with the performance but i knew i wanted something a bit more and for a small difference of money i managed to return the 6700XT and got a 6800XT, while i liked it overall, i felt like i had too many dips into lower frames, the stability of my framerate was all over the place so i once again returned the GPU and went for a 3080 12GB and while i was missing out on a couple of frames over the 6800XT, i had much better stability and 1% & 0.1% lows, stuttering was gone and so on, i also want to state that i am not glazing over Nvidia but these and the Nvidia Broadcaster software as well as the codec for rendering from Nvidia had me tilted over to their side, but i must say for the prices i'd managed to get those GPU's i was genuinely happy with price for performance, they were beasts of a GPU's and software has always been ok for me on AMD side as i had a RX580 before the 1070ti and while i did indeed have friends who had problems with software, i personally did not encounter any so i must say that this must be taken with a grain of salt as i suspect performance issues or software issues might be affected by your PC configuration. I must also state that if i ever had any issues with games or software that i was using while having a Nvidia GPU or AMD GPU, i also often times had the same or a similar issue on the other GPU.
I was in the same situation, I switched form my RTX 3070 (how does a 3070 only have 8GB of VRAM) to a RX6800XT. It's been around a year I think, I'm super happy with my decision and haven't had any problems. Everything works flawlessly and I'll most likely stick to AMD in the coming years. To people hesitating, just do it, it's worth it.
AMD has always been the cheaper option lately but at the same time it just works for me. My 7900 GRE plugged right in to Linux and just ran without issue. Didn't even have to bother with Nvidia driver installs since the drivers in the Linux kernel give me gaming performance out of the box. When I had Windows on my all AMD laptop I loved their driver interface like you had up on there. Thing was very nice to use and keep things up to date unlike Nvidia's stuff. It's nice that they're updating the Nvidia software in the near future but the prices for their GPU's just aren't worth what you get these days. I'm even doing AI stuff on the side with my AMD card and it works good enough.
I recently tried out an Ryzen 5 3600 and before that I tried an rx550 and honestly I’m shocked how well they run it’s sad so many hate on AMD, not to mention they have so much compatibility and future proofing it’s crazy. You’d think it’d be fake news due to Invida’s prices
you can save custom profiles in the tuning tab, in the top right you download the profile as a file, and you open the file through the other button and it sets that profile
I switched from a 1660 to to a Radeon 7800 and it’s amazing. My temp is like 55 degrees when I’m playing bulky games. Now I just have issues with my CPU overheating 😂
I did this last year and picked up a 6750xt on sale for $500 at the time. I immediately regretted it. Two reasons: My main use case for my gaming PC was VR sim racing and there was only small boost and sometimes worse performance over the 2070Super it replaced. But the big issue for me was that I began doing a lot of work in DAZ studio (3D rendering), I couldn't even use the AMD card, had to render on my other PC which had the 2070super in it. A month ago a switched back to Nvidia with a 4080 Super and rendering is not the chore it once was anymore. So moral here, what is your use case? If you intend on doing any 3D rendering or AI image/video generation, stick to Nvidia.
Heard the Noise Suppression is way worse compared to Nvidia Broadcast for filtering out microphone noise. Probably the main thing that kept me from switching to AMD.
I bought my 6800 xt last year and I am super happy. I’ve never had any crashes whatsoever and I really enjoy the amd own software. Great experience. Since I am playing on a ultrawide ray tracing is lacking unfortunately but considering the greed of geeen I rather play without it
smart jump mate, vram sure makes a lot of difference, there's nothing worse than having a capable gpu but with not enough vram,i t can go both ways, you can have enough vram but not enough performance, yet i would always chose vram over, at least i wouldn't have to worry about vram budget and lowering textures, i can lower resolution in that case, but blurry textures ruins it, i remember playing rdr2 in a gtx 750 ti, with blurry textures the game was a crap, the moment i forced them to ultra on a 2gb vram gpu, it went from water to wine! so yeah, lowering textures is something i hate doing, only as a last resort.
I got into retro gaming and pc building during the pandemic. Built a couple of AMD cpus with the best integrated graphics for the day until I could snag a RX6600 on the cheap. Through all the changes I haven't had any driver or compatibility issues and performance has been great. For the money it has been a big win for me. I don't see the need to bother learning much about Intel chips and NVidia gpus, I'm good.
Great choice of card. The Asus Dual cards is a killer card. Not too big, not too heavy and cooler is decent. Looks good too. As long as it doesn't break its all good. It won't, unless its DOA. Its build with precision by robots. Also you can do a custom profile. Make a game profile. Or just save whatever is stable (thats your profile).
I remember when 6gb vram was considered overkill
Wrong unit dude, back in my time we spoke in Mb. Anyone remember the Radeon (ati not amd) 9800XT with its beefy 256 Mb ?
in 2010s era, 4GB was enough unless you turn on Max shadow setting lol that crap required so much VRAM. Now it doesn't even make a dent in most games as we got cache for shadows and 8gb-16GB VRAM. High Quality or Ultra Shadow setting was the Ray Tracing back then lol
@sparda9060 'member whe. 2gb was top end? I was hardcore into gaming from 2007-2012. Still am interested but not to where it's my entire life.
@@rolandvogt7790 I remember those days. My first upgrade was an ATI card (I dont remember model) with 64mb of ram! It was miles better than the integrated graphics with only8mb of memory.
@@rolandvogt7790 Yes. My fist video card ATI Radeon it was 124 MB memory and it was great. Now nVidia RTX 3060 12GB is powerful video card.
Went from a 3080ti to a 7900XTX. Have always been a Nvidia guy since forever and confess to having bought into the constant stuff that AMD is bad, the drivers are awful blah blah. My 7900XTX has been flawless from a stability point of view. Happy to recommend AMD now to people that ask me, the value proposition is unmatched.
Beast of a card and heck of an upgrade.

@@bot2k6 he said he has a 3060 ti and he wanted something better than a 3080.
Glad people are starting to see through the misinformation and lies about AMD. fact is Nvidia has just as many issues as AMD at this point which isn't anything major with either unless as you said in this video you doing something wrong. I use both brands but prefer AMD as for one I am a Linux user so do all my gaming on Linux and love I don't have to mess with Nvidia's sh*tty Linux drivers as AMD is built into linux so just works out of the box and two you just simply can NOT beat AMD's price to performance and it has been that way for decades.. I do use a Nvidia card for a windows VM but I rarely have to use it as most of everything I need to do does work outside windows
This is so true. There's still issues with Nvidia. No brand is perfect and there will always be some issues that happen with updates. Sure, updates squash bugs but they also create more bugs.
@@tohur Nvidia has gotten better on Linux but the 10 series doesn't necessarily work as well as newer cards. Likewise, AMD has its own headaches on Linux if you want to use production software and even some games might need proprietary blobs. Nvidia is open sourcing kernel modules which is a step in the right direction at least. I'm excited to get a 7900 GRE build and put Linux on it in the future. I haven't used an AMD card since the HD series which predates RDNA, RX 400, and Vega even. AMD was kind of crap on Linux back then but they've really improved across the board. Currently I use an Acer Nitro 5 3050 ti 4 GB laptop with Windows and an old HP 8200 Elite SFF with a 1050 ti running Linux. I would run Linux on my laptop more if not for it causing static.
AMD GPUs perform poorly with DX11.

Awesome Video!, I just recently switched from a 1650 to a Nitro+ 6700XT about a month ago. I've been enjoying AMD these past few weeks.
Thanks! That's a real nice upgrade!
amazing upgrade man, the 6700xt is a legendary gpu!
You can massively overclock those. Great GPU, just don't use raytracing, handles 1440p easy, literally best GPU for the price range. Latest FSR features are actually good. Native fsr is a huge visual improvement.
So first thing is don't push the OC to hard and set up a profile per game a single OC will never work for all games IT WILL RESET AND CRASH EVENTUALLY.
I like to tweak the freq and voltage little by little as the gpu freq goes higher then stop alittle under where it starts to level off due to the game or power/temp limits.
Usually alittle can be gained on the memory but not allot maybe 100mhz I'm running 2554mhz fast timing and it's rock solid. If u have issues like returning from a game to desktop and it black screens and locks up u whent to far.
I like AMDs radeon chill feature, I like setting up fps from 70/80 to around 85% of max GPU load. Keeps my temps down and acts like a input latency reducing feature (use app latency measurement in CapFrameX overlay). Also usable with AFMF2 (80-118 for 240hz panel) now with preview drivers 👍
Track your delta hotspot temp over GPU temp if u have a delta beyond 20°C u need to step it back or figure out if u need ptm7950 thermal paste.
Always goto safe mode in windows to use either DDU or AMDs cleanup utility to Uninstall and Reinstall versions of drivers.
Use Dism and SFC file check to keep windows from coruption if u suspect an issue, but sometime windows is just fubar and needs a reset.
Ah i did the same
From 1650 to 6700
You can save a custom tuning profile man, it is in the top right really handy. Keep it up man, I wish you the best.
You sure can but every 1 or 2 days when the driver crashes you have to set it again...never AMD GPU's anymore for me! Nvidia is rocksolid no issues where AMD keeps crashing and you need tp reroll your drivers every 2nd or 3rd driver download because they screw up that often!
@karlos1060 maybe you overclocked to much i switched to amd 4 years ago and in the beggining i had issues. But now everythin gis rock solid

I switched to AMD and don't regret it. I'm a bit of an old-school gamer. I don't use ray tracing, I don't use upscaling, and I turn off all the goofy affects like chromatic abberation, motion blur, and film grain, turn up texture quality to max, and enjoy. AMD fits my play style well right now, with good rasterization performance and plenty of VRAM for the textures. I currently use a 7800 XT at 1440p 144hz.
Whats the reason you dont use upscalers? I cant stand those random flickers , dont understand how they like that stuff. Tested both Dlss and Fsr. Dlss looks better overall but im more concern of flickering.
@@genasgenas In my opinion, upscaling to fix things like flickers is not a solution to those problems, it's a cover up / work around. I don't want lower resolution smeared to a higher resolution. I want the higher resolution rendering to be improved at that higher resolution. And gamers need to see those blemishes so that GPU engineers and game developers are encouraged to work on those rendering issues and not just obscure them with upscaling.
@@Skotty64081when upscaling to 4k, and even 1440p, DLSS can provide a much better image than either TAA or Native. Hardware unboxed has an excellent video on the subject, and it's worth a look.

Upgrade from my RX 570 8GB to a RX 7800 XT 😌
That's a sweet upgrade!
You can create custom profiles using the square with arrow icons at the top right corner. I always recommend custom undervolt (not the auto). You can drop temps and power draw, A LOT while still being stable at stock clocks. You also get access to the power limit setting (I usually set to max) for more stable power delivery while undervolted. Voltage tends to bounce without the slider set to max, essentially telling the card you have this available if needed, which allows it to stay more consistent since it’s less likely to hit the limit. A custom fan curve is also recommended, cause stock can be a bit conservative on fan RPMs 4:22

That driver version had an issue where it reset tuning on wake from sleep/reboot. You can save your custom tuning settings with the buttons on the top right section of the tuning page. Just mouse over each to see what they do. I recommend undervolting the GPU and doing a custom fan curve. Enjoy.

I built my first computer in April and went with the 7900 XT. People hate on AMD but they've got REALLY good GPUs at just a fraction of the price that Nvidia has them on. I myself use RTX on my computer with my games and have run into NO ISSUES.
Do you understand that if you activate RT, your card is lower performances than a cheaper 4070s (which is equivalent to a 7900xtx with RT on) ? I'm just asking, because you might not actually know.......why pay more than a 4070s to get less FPS than a 4070s, this is what you actually do the moment you activate RT in your games.......
Theres a reason why AMD is cheaper... Because it offers less features compared to nvidia

@@vaiman7777GPU boost is a must have for competitive games. I can't tell you how annoying it is going in and out of boxes in fortnite and having your AMD GPU hitch as it tries to boost its clocks. You can fix this by manually setting the base clocks closer to your boost, but the settings seemed to reset at random. Until Radeon antilag is working properly, I refuse to buy an AMD gpu. There's also DLSS, which is a much better and far more prevalent solution compared to FSR. I'm glad to see AMD working on solutions of their own with antilag and now FSR 4, but it seems they're always a step or two behind Nvidia. At the high end you'd have to be crazy to not fork over the extra $50 for that "Nvidia tax"

You can even have overclock/underclock profiles for each individual game and it switch when the game launch. It is very usefull when some games are stable at some overclock but others dont.
I only noticed this is a new channel at the end of the video. Really great content! Switching to the 7800XT was a great choice - the extra VRAM really makes a difference these days! This channel deserves way more subscribers; keep up the great work!

I was lucky enough to get a new 6950 Xt before it was discontinued by AMD. So far, i love it.
I was going to get it a few months ago but it was only available at micro center and I live hours away. Once I finally was ready to purchase it was sold out too. Unfortunate but I am glad I got the newer gen because of newer hardware and AV1 support.
@ShadowStarTech I bought mine from micro center in February.
@@ShadowStarTech you can't get them new anymore.
I've been using Amd cards since Ati 9000 series! never had stability or driver issues. Currently running 5600xt and a 6750xt both have been excellent for my needs.
From AI Gimmick to Pure Performance, welcome to the right side 💪
Back when I bought my 6800, the choice was either that or the 3070Ti for $340 used. At the time, games like The Last of Us Part 1 and Hogwarts Legacy had just come out, and seeing VRAM usage creep past 12GB at 1440p gave me much assurance.
Yes, the 3070Ti was significantly better at RT and upscaling, but it didn't even have the memory to run my games at my desired quality. No amount of RT in the world will make up for low res textures.
In a perfect world, I would've happily paid $400 for a used 16GB 3070Ti, and I know there are ways to mod the card into 16GB, but then I'd have to tinker with the VBIOS and whatnot. There simply weren't any Nvidia options for me.
The 4060Ti 16GB came out much later, and personally I never felt like the card was worth $500 brand new. Maybe $400 max, 370-380 for a really good price. Ada prices were so garbage that I got turned off big time. Now I'm looking forward to the 8800XT, which I'll prolly pick up used for $400 or less.

I upgraded from a 1070Ti to the 6900XT 3 years ago. The performance was comparable to the 3080 at the time, but £300 cheaper & with more VRAM. It's still holding up well; I play in 4K on a 50" screen & only have a couple of games that struggle for frames. The only thing I don't like is the ReLive software, after shadowplay it's severley lacking in quality & features. So I use actual OBS instead. I doubt I'll ever use NVidia again unless they have some huge discount.

Sounds like someone hasn't paid attention to fortnite these last 4 years. No game makes my GPU cry like fortnite. Even without nanite or lumen, my GPU sees about 80-90% usage at 1080p max with my frames capped at 144fps. It's easily one of the best PC test thanks to the game acting as an unreal engine demo for experimental features

Ill never know what my issue was but I cant go back to amd again after that. It was horrible.
Same heard about 4070ti nothing but stutter and swapped for Amd and all good. It just sometimes happens like this , no idea why.
Same but i had 4070 Super stuttering all over the place, sent it back and got a 7900xt. Love it.
Same here, but with a 6700xt and 6800. Ended up sending both back due to stutters and shader comp issues. I was more than content with the performance, but the inconsistencies were killing me
Did you DDU it before install? Thats the most common problem when putting in an AMD card.
@dalehammers4425 it was on a complete fresh build. Didn't need to ddu it. But I did when I install the 4070ti super.
Leave the base settings stock. So when you boot you will have no problem. You can tune each game individually. The GPU will adjust to the game when you open it, then go back to stock when you close the game.
Its freaking fantastic.
if i was to stream on youtube which is this better this or 4070 cause they cost the same in my country?
If you want to be a streamer you should definitely go Nvidia since they have better encoders (not that amd doesn't have good ones) but I'd say it's more worth it if you favor stream quality and absolutely no lag.

@@airzeroHDyou can try to to with a 4070 ti super if money isnt an issue, the 4070 doesnt have the av1 encoder on it, which might become relevant soon enough, but up to you
Latest AMD drivers are close to Nvidia, and there is less performance loss. The whole Nvidia being better for streaming argument is not what it was years ago.
What settings were you running and on what games? vRAM is important but it is far from the only factor that is important to performance. I'd quite happily for example swap the RTX 3060 12GB in my gaming PC for a 3080 10GB. Yeah I'm losing vRAM but I'd be gaining performance.
Drivers are also another important issue, the 900 series from Nvidia are still getting up to date drivers whereas the RX 580, release three years later, in my TV PC now has to hope custom drivers come out. AMD does seem to cut their cards off earlier.
vRAM means very little when the rest of the card can't keep up or the games can't be played because the drivers are out of date.
The 3060 ti is made of titanium, thats why its heavier 😅

Installation was easy with DDU and I haven‘t had any issues with stability or drivers and all of my games run super smooth now with way more FPS on higher settings. Overall, I am very happy with the upgrade and AMD.
Good review. Most AMD hate is just a smeer campaign. I've owned and build both platforms and the price to performance (raw performance) almost always goes to amd especially in modern times. The 7600 xt is kinda meh but has 16gb of vram so there's that.

I actually did the other way. Moved from 6950XT to 4080 Super. Nothing wrong with the 6950XT just sold the PC and built new one from scratch. I love the ray tracing and less temps + power draw after undervolting the 4080 super

You can make a custom profile and save it. You just set it, and then click the little arrows on the top right to export the tuning profile:)
But it doesn't make a big difference in most gpus tbh. You're better off just keeping it stock lol.
Top right corner of the tuning page has a symbol that looks like a square with an arrow coming out of it, one is for saving preset and one is for loading saved preset ! AMD thought about it for us 😉
You have to have more than one week of experience on AMD cards to recommend them to others. I went from a 3080 to a 7900XTX thinking exactly what you just said. I used the AMD card for a year and a half until I finally just got fed up with broken drivers and went back to an Nvidia card. There is absolutely no reason that a driver update should cause your GPU temperature to jump 20° on the desktop and simultaneously lose 15% of its performance. Yeah that was a bad driver because only after I completely wiped with DDU a third time and redownloaded the drivers from scratch did it fix the issue.
Adrenaline tuning is trash, it always has been, and I don’t see them fixing it anytime soon. Just use MSI afterburner, you can overclocking, undervolt, set custom fan curves and power profiles and you can lock those settings and select to enable them every time window starts up. I have my overclocked 75 MHz on the core and 1500mhz on the memory using after burner and even at 100% utilization with Ray tracing, my card never goes above 66°C. It took a few clicks and about a minute and the settings never need to be adjusted.
Exactly. I had way too many driver timeouts causing black screens in the middle of games with my 6700 XT switching back to NVIDIA with a RTX 4070 was the best thing I ever did
Been using AMD for years. Currently the last 2 years I've been using the 7900xtx without those issues. Yet similar issues to what you described happened to my friend for the better half of the year running a 4080. All I can say is, shit happens. No product is perfect
Im actually in a reversed boat. I come from amd gpu and cpu (am not switching CPU, they kick ass).
I am happy to move away from adrenalin, and in some games simply switching from amd to nvidia solved some bothersome graphical problems.
Ive been using pc’s for decades, and now having tried amd and nvidia/intel in all shapes - its amd cpu with nvidia cards.
Upgraded from a 1050ti to a used nitro + 700xt about a month ago, been a pretty smooth ride so far. Apart from ray tracing hiccups, handles everything thrown at it smoothly.
I was in the same position and got a GRE Hellhound for $550 and I kind of love it. It runs so cool and quiet and crushes 1440p.
I like that 7800, it's a good looking card, boxy and black is my aesthetic of choice.
I switched from NVIDIA to AMD because the rasterizing performance was better for the price. I got a used RX 7900 XTX for €850, which would’ve been €1,100 new. I'm happy with it overall, but saying that if you have instability, it's your fault and not the GPU is bs. Just because it works for you doesn’t mean it will for everyone. I had minor driver issues at first, like incorrect readings in GPU-Z. And later I got driver timeouts so a black screen crash every 1-2 Hours. I tried EVERYTHING without success until I installed AMD drivers without the software and made some registry tweaks. Since then, it’s been stable, but you don’t get issues like this with NVIDIA. The encoder is also terrible for low Bitrates-I use an old GTX 950 for Twitch streaming because it handles low bitrates better. Otherwise, the GPU is fine. And btw you can make a own profile.
Ray tracing
@@brosghost What? I don't care much about ray tracing. My old graphics card was an RTX 3080, and I'm playing with the RX 7900 XTX at 1440p. The ray tracing performance is still better than my old RTX 3080, so I still have more ray tracing performance than before. I can play Cyberpunk on Ultra graphics with the Ultra ray tracing preset 1440p, getting 60-70 FPS natively. With XeSS 1.3, it looks like native, and I get around 80-85 FPS, so that's fine.

A bit sad learning that AMD won't be making high end GPU anymore, but maybe their midline will be that cost effective that I'll stick with them further down the line in 6 years.
AMD will again, but they just arent right now. They dont sell enough cards to make the development worth it compared to Nvidia and they'd have to charge too much. I have little doubt once they regain some of the market they will bring back upper echelon cards again.
Were you playing on 1440p with the 3060 ti? That would explain the vram issue because 12gb is the new norm for that resolution, and even that apparently runs out in some titles. It’s wild honestly
You can save a performance profile... Up trip there is an export profile button . Once done you can import it.
i ended up getting a 4070 instead of a 7800xt. my original plan was to get a simple mid end upgrade from my 1660. Bought an RX 7600 and I couldnt play anything bc most my games crashed or performed terribly. It could've been a case of a faulty card but That experience made me save up a little more and go for the 4070. stable gaming experience so far!
That is an experience I understand. I appreciate that you actually bought and used the card. That is unfortunate though. What I don't understand is that people just completely block out even the possibility of using an AMD card at all. Not even a consideration is just sad especially since those people likely run an AMD cpu!!
How long ago did this happen? AMD is known for bad drivers (although it's said that they have fixed it in recently years) perhaps a bad driver and you should've gone to prev stable driver but yeah NVIDIA's drivers update alot less frequently and are alot more stable they are plug and play basically but downside is having to create geforce accounts, drivers consuming more cpu power than amd's and a worse UI (Imo).

My first graphics card was an integrated one with 1mb. When I found out I could allocate another mb to it and make it a 2mb card I was like: yesssss!
I went from a 1070ti to a 6700XT, i was pleased with the performance but i knew i wanted something a bit more and for a small difference of money i managed to return the 6700XT and got a 6800XT, while i liked it overall, i felt like i had too many dips into lower frames, the stability of my framerate was all over the place so i once again returned the GPU and went for a 3080 12GB and while i was missing out on a couple of frames over the 6800XT, i had much better stability and 1% & 0.1% lows, stuttering was gone and so on, i also want to state that i am not glazing over Nvidia but these and the Nvidia Broadcaster software as well as the codec for rendering from Nvidia had me tilted over to their side, but i must say for the prices i'd managed to get those GPU's i was genuinely happy with price for performance, they were beasts of a GPU's and software has always been ok for me on AMD side as i had a RX580 before the 1070ti and while i did indeed have friends who had problems with software, i personally did not encounter any so i must say that this must be taken with a grain of salt as i suspect performance issues or software issues might be affected by your PC configuration.
I must also state that if i ever had any issues with games or software that i was using while having a Nvidia GPU or AMD GPU, i also often times had the same or a similar issue on the other GPU.
I´ve got an ASUS DUAL RX5700, seems like they switched the design of the DUAL series, yours looks much better

It's been around a year I think, I'm super happy with my decision and haven't had any problems. Everything works flawlessly and I'll most likely stick to AMD in the coming years. To people hesitating, just do it, it's worth it.
I also have a 7800 xt I have it slightly OC and runs super stable and I don’t regret buying it at all
AMD has always been the cheaper option lately but at the same time it just works for me. My 7900 GRE plugged right in to Linux and just ran without issue. Didn't even have to bother with Nvidia driver installs since the drivers in the Linux kernel give me gaming performance out of the box. When I had Windows on my all AMD laptop I loved their driver interface like you had up on there. Thing was very nice to use and keep things up to date unlike Nvidia's stuff. It's nice that they're updating the Nvidia software in the near future but the prices for their GPU's just aren't worth what you get these days. I'm even doing AI stuff on the side with my AMD card and it works good enough.
I recently tried out an Ryzen 5 3600 and before that I tried an rx550 and honestly I’m shocked how well they run it’s sad so many hate on AMD, not to mention they have so much compatibility and future proofing it’s crazy. You’d think it’d be fake news due to
Invida’s prices
you can save custom profiles in the tuning tab, in the top right you download the profile as a file, and you open the file through the other button and it sets that profile
I switched from a 1660 to to a Radeon 7800 and it’s amazing. My temp is like 55 degrees when I’m playing bulky games. Now I just have issues with my CPU overheating 😂
Disable windows fast boot to stop the software resetting your overclock each time.
I did this last year and picked up a 6750xt on sale for $500 at the time. I immediately regretted it. Two reasons: My main use case for my gaming PC was VR sim racing and there was only small boost and sometimes worse performance over the 2070Super it replaced. But the big issue for me was that I began doing a lot of work in DAZ studio (3D rendering), I couldn't even use the AMD card, had to render on my other PC which had the 2070super in it. A month ago a switched back to Nvidia with a 4080 Super and rendering is not the chore it once was anymore. So moral here, what is your use case? If you intend on doing any 3D rendering or AI image/video generation, stick to Nvidia.
Heard the Noise Suppression is way worse compared to Nvidia Broadcast for filtering out microphone noise. Probably the main thing that kept me from switching to AMD.
I bought my 6800 xt last year and I am super happy. I’ve never had any crashes whatsoever and I really enjoy the amd own software. Great experience. Since I am playing on a ultrawide ray tracing is lacking unfortunately but considering the greed of geeen I rather play without it
smart jump mate, vram sure makes a lot of difference, there's nothing worse than having a capable gpu but with not enough vram,i t can go both ways, you can have enough vram but not enough performance, yet i would always chose vram over, at least i wouldn't have to worry about vram budget and lowering textures, i can lower resolution in that case, but blurry textures ruins it, i remember playing rdr2 in a gtx 750 ti, with blurry textures the game was a crap, the moment i forced them to ultra on a 2gb vram gpu, it went from water to wine! so yeah, lowering textures is something i hate doing, only as a last resort.
I got into retro gaming and pc building during the pandemic. Built a couple of AMD cpus with the best integrated graphics for the day until I could snag a RX6600 on the cheap. Through all the changes I haven't had any driver or compatibility issues and performance has been great. For the money it has been a big win for me. I don't see the need to bother learning much about Intel chips and NVidia gpus, I'm good.
Great choice of card. The Asus Dual cards is a killer card. Not too big, not too heavy and cooler is decent. Looks good too. As long as it doesn't break its all good. It won't, unless its DOA. Its build with precision by robots. Also you can do a custom profile. Make a game profile. Or just save whatever is stable (thats your profile).
