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:/
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.
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.
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.
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.
hi, when I removed the video card from its packaging, I tore the plastic covering the video card and I didn't do like you (1:15) as the directions say, it seemed that those two strips on the back needed to be torn, it invalidates something what i did?
Not sure, but yeah I was very careful following the pictured directions to make sure I could repackage it. I'm sorry that happened to you and hope you don't need to return it. If you need to rma it though it should be fine.
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
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 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
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 💪
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
I dont know if someone told you before but you can save profiles via the "save" icon with an arrow next to the stress test and load it via the other one on the tuning tab. This saves all your settings in to a file that you can put wherever you want and even send it to a friend with the same model to try out your settings
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.
you can absolutely do your manual overclocking on the card by the way:) you just need to do manual tuning and on the top right theres an upload and save pre-set so you can have multiple overclocks. Personally i auto overclock my vram and mhz for my gpu then set it at that, and put the minimum and maximum frequency at around 200 max of a difference for stability, and do manual fan tuning also but when i want my pc to be quiet i just revert to default settings and have a completely quiet system with zero fan enabled, just need to do a bit of tweaking but eventually youll find that perfect sauce my guy
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.
I just bought the ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon™ RX 7600 XT OC Edition 16GB, excited to have it shipped to my country, supposedly it arrives on the 20th of this month of december of 2024, it´s a triple fan and it has an antisag holder too... bought a new psu too the ASUS TUF Gaming 850W Gold (850 Watt, ATX 3.0 Compatible, Fully Modular Power Supply, 80+ Gold, all in an TUF GAMING B660M-PLUS WIFI D4, with an i3 12100F, once I can I will get a 12th or 14th gen i5 too, and hopefully get the same case you have, that an amazing case!
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.
I know you're young and have a lot to learn and doing it your self is the way to go. You're going to break stuff sometimes and its ok. But, next time when putting the plugs you have to hold the card from the underneath and push with equal force in opposite way. That way you don't bend the fiberglass motherboard or damage the pci-e slot. 2:33 You applied a lot of force. You can see the case chassis bend. That's not good. Just remember next time. I also agree there's a lot of people out there spreading lies about AMD. That's what fanboys do. They talk about without ever trying it out.
Yo, i have a question, im building my first pc soon but i cant decide between a 4060 or a rx 7600xt, i play on 1080p high settings on most my games, and most games i wanna play are not over the top demanding, I also do video editing. Which should I get?
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
But what about content creator. What about performance in premiere pro or davinci resolve when editing video? I have RTX 2070 Super and i want to buy new GPU and I consider used RTX 4070 Super or RX 7900 XT but I don't know what GPU choose. I am editing videos as well.
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.
Pretty sure it's a taskbar settings. Discord with the red dot for new messages can be turned off too in Windows taskbar settings. If it's not there, check OBS.
@@Tooreg using AMD two years now with zero problems regarding to Drivers. you need to come with new claim other than driver, driver stuff is been fixed since 2016 lol Nvidia fanboys never stop
@@2284090 Then how do some games start to slow down rendering environments and the overlay completely becoming unopenable until I update the drivers, then after a few days, same problems again
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 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"
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 have the Sapphire Nitro+ 7800xt 16gb which i got to upgrade my previous 1070. If we are talking about just gaming and "normal" or typical video editing sure its a great product. The large VRAM is definitely a huge advantage. But when it comes down to streaming and content creation? That took A lot of what I know about OBS and had to read more just to address pixelation and bad quality streams on fast/rapid scenes. Not to mention doing video editing was painful if you do it on advance as it sometimes crashes during RENDERING which really annoys me. They also had issues for months regarding AV1 recording that corrupts the recorded video. So what would I say as someone who has a 7800xt for nearly a year. I would recommend it if you can't get the 4070ti or the 4070SUPER and higher and if you are just gaming. If you plan to do content creation or its your job that involves video editing, get an nvidia graphics card.
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
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*
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.
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.
does this gfx card get loud,? imo id never buy another 2 fan card just because how loud they can get and 3 fan cards run cooler from experience. what you have is still a nice looking card tho.
"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
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 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.
@@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 currently have a 3070 and i am thinking of getting a 7900 xt but i am soo scared of the drivers i have 2 friend who have amd gpus one has a 6700 xt and the other one has a 5700 xt both great gpus but both have driver problems i really don't know what to do should i get a 7900 xt or just get a nvidia card thats a bit worse but more expensive?
don't...wait for the new gen...and always look at the price point... in my country brand new i could snag 4060 Ti 16gb for 100€ less or 4070 for the same price as 7800 xt rn and the difference in most games is...a joke XD its always gonna depend on the game but in most cases 4070 is ahead.... and the reason i went for 4060Ti 16gb in my country is the electricity fkn bill xD... what im saying is bro new GPU's are dropping in 2-3 months form now.... buying AMD is 50/50 from what i've seen...some ppl either only had problems or never had any problems...and im not talking bout randoms on reddit im talking bout tech channels that do GPU reviews XD
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
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.
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
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.
on 4:25 I wanted to mention that you can add a game profile on the right side, not sure if this is exactly it or you meant something else. Thanks for the review, I have Nvidia and looking forward to get an upgrade (MEGA UPGRADE i am still using MX110 with overclock), i love how AMD software looks like, and overall will help me further with Linux as Nvidia does hate Linux.
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 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 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 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
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 😆
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.
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.
Default performance settings reset is something happened to me quite often in the past on my 6700xt - it's usually the driver version - most likely it will sort itself out when you update
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.
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 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.
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.
Did you clean the Nvidia drivers out of your OS? This is a must do...I had many issues with my old Nvidia system still installed on my system. Just search and see how and why.
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.
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
I recently upped to a 4070 super but I feel like it takes to much wattage I see my wattage goes up to 200 watts almost I do have a i9 12th gen installed I was looking at a 7900xt since there reasonable here in Canada 998 I believe before tax would u consider upping for the v ram it does come with 20gb
Wait for next gen cards! 4070 is almost on par witt 7900 gre, and it beats it on raytracing plus dlss, etc. I have the 7900 gre and I love it. In my opinion, it's the best price to performance out there, but I would wait if you have a 4070.
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.
i switch the other way around and I really like nvidia drivers more. It was my main and only reason switching from AMD. AMD drivers would constantly break my PC and I would have to fix it or they would crash, not be supported by a new tittle its just annoying. But I'm glad your liking it
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 have the same GPU as you, I have the Asus Dual 7800XT. Do you think this graphics card does gpu sag? Am I supposed to put a support, are you putting it up?
It's so minor and I don't notice it. I'm not going to but if it's bothering you go for it. This card is very light in comparison to most new cards. People put the 5 pound 40 series cards that are 5x the size and length in without a support. In that scenario they need one.
An Asus Dual OC 7800XT should have minimal sag specially if you connect the power cables from the top. I recently bought a Sapphire PURE 7800 XT (3 fans-320mm length) and it literally comes with a support bracket lol. Amazon product weight list shows ASUS 950g and Sapphire 1.67kg. I think you will be fine 👍🏼
Posting for those who might be a bit on the fence with going AMD or NVIDIA as part of their next PC build... This time last year, I began researching all things PC. I'd always been a console gamer but was keen to dive into the world of PC gaming and build my own (seeing the quality of graphics and fps improvements, it was too tempting!). As this was my first ever PC build, I didn't realise just how vast the PC landscape is - WOW! So much options and choices. It was a little overwhelming to start with but I soon figured out that if I wanted the very best PC, I'd have to sell some organs to bring some serious coin to the table. I rather like my organs, so instead of cutting out a kidney, I set myself a budget - $3000 AUD for the PC build (excluding monitor). A sizeable budget for a first time PC build but an amount I was comfortable with, having seen the potential performance that PC gaming can offer. After spending a solid 3-4 weeks researching and sifting through countless reviews - including plenty of white noise about AMD and their products being bad, driver issues, crashes blah blah blah - in the end, I "gambled" and paired the 7800X3D CPU with the 7800 XT... One year later, I'm honestly extremely happy with my decision. The performance in games is unreal - I probably would have been blown away with the 7600 or 7700 given I was coming from a console (PS5) but for future proofing, as well as having the budget, I felt the 7800 XT was the best option overall. I certainly feel that my money has been well spent (though I do wonder just how incredible the performance must feel on a 4090!!) I did procrastinate an awful lot before going all-in and placing the order. I had strongly considered going with Nvidia, partly because of the hype and market monopoly (you have a monopoly on something for a reason - your product is good!) with all the seemingly constant praise for Nvidia, you naturally feel a bit anxious considering any alternative options. Ultimately, the closest like-for-like GPU was the 3080 Ti which only gave 12gb vram (more than enough, but still less to offer than the 7800 XT) and for almost double the price, I simply couldn't justify spending nearly double the amount for a product that ultimately delivers the same levels of gaming performance, at least based on the reviews I had seen. Looking back, had I bought the 3080 Ti, I'd probably be raving happy about how good the performance is too! But ultimately, the price-for-performance from AMD was better for me personally. I have no regrets. If you've got $10K to blow then maybe going the easy route with the top-of-the-range, prebuilt PC with a whopping great 4090 is perfect for you, but if like me you are a humble peasant who cares about their money (or simply have a more stringent budget - there's no shame in that, live within your means) I think AMD is very likely to be the better option for you. Thanks for reading, I hope this helps some of you. Cheerio!
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
Dont worry by the way, that tuning control or whatever also resets for me in the form of msi afterburner for my 1080ti. I think that you need to input those settings everytime cuz thats what i had to do with msi afterburner....
What are your future plans with the setup? I am asking because 12400F is slightly better but there is no decent upgrade path forward while there is 5800 X3D for 5600 .. If you plan to one and done your build and then switch platforms in the future then I recommend going for intel OR 5500 X3D should be releasing in the near future so it could be a better alternative
@@ShadowStarTech In 1080p yes in 1440p on ultra / ray-tracing they won't or the difference compared with something more high end will be negligible depending on the game I was checking vids before answering

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

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.

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
@@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
Appreciate it!
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.
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.
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.

hi, when I removed the video card from its packaging, I tore the plastic covering the video card and I didn't do like you (1:15) as the directions say, it seemed that those two strips on the back needed to be torn, it invalidates something what i did?

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
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 💪

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.
I know you're young and have a lot to learn and doing it your self is the way to go. You're going to break stuff sometimes and its ok. But, next time when putting the plugs you have to hold the card from the underneath and push with equal force in opposite way.

Same here, not going back, always want premium but I don't use upscaling at all so it's np at all :D

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.

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 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
@@makunouchiippo816Like what?
@@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"
@@higgsbosonfan Thanks for the information, appreciated 👍
Do you use this setup for streaming and video editing? If so how’s your experience?
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 ran my emulations on my 6700XT when I had it flawlessly.
I've ran ps2/3 and switch emu on steam deck, and its all AMD
I have the Sapphire Nitro+ 7800xt 16gb which i got to upgrade my previous 1070. If we are talking about just gaming and "normal" or typical video editing sure its a great product. The large VRAM is definitely a huge advantage. But when it comes down to streaming and content creation? That took A lot of what I know about OBS and had to read more just to address pixelation and bad quality streams on fast/rapid scenes. Not to mention doing video editing was painful if you do it on advance as it sometimes crashes during RENDERING which really annoys me. They also had issues for months regarding AV1 recording that corrupts the recorded video.
So what would I say as someone who has a 7800xt for nearly a year. I would recommend it if you can't get the 4070ti or the 4070SUPER and higher and if you are just gaming.
If you plan to do content creation or its your job that involves video editing, get an nvidia graphics card.
Must feel real great making the jump from 8GB to 16GB of vram.
Absolutely. Having that much is a dream.

Went from a 3080ti to a 4090 and couldn't be happier. Max settings for every game. I hated having to turn graphics down just to get more frames
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
That is a dream come true. If I had a 4090. I hope it lasts me at least $15 years 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*
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.
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.
does this gfx card get loud,? imo id never buy another 2 fan card just because how loud they can get and 3 fan cards run cooler from experience. what you have is still a nice looking card tho.
"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
ok one person out of thousands who say otherwise
try reinstalling windows
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 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.

@@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.

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 of course found that right after I put this video up 😂

@@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.

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.
How about gaming temps with this dual model? And is it loud?
Never goes above 65 degrees. Sometimes it's a little loud but it depends on the demand and what settings you have tuned for the fans.
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!

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.

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.
Default performance settings reset is something happened to me quite often in the past on my 6700xt - it's usually the driver version - most likely it will sort itself out when you update
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.

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
You can safe your oc settings by just exporting them in the top right corner, and whenever your oc gets reset, you just load your exportet oc settings
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.
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.
Did you clean the Nvidia drivers out of your OS? This is a must do...I had many issues with my old Nvidia system still installed on my system. Just search and see how and why.
He said he hit it with DDU first.
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.
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

Wait for next gen cards! 4070 is almost on par witt 7900 gre, and it beats it on raytracing plus dlss, etc. I have the 7900 gre and I love it. In my opinion, it's the best price to performance out there, but I would wait if you have a 4070.
It really bugs me that you still can't record HDR gameplay with Radeon software
Bro I have the same mobo I’ve wanted to go amd but I thought I had to change my motherboard and everything in order to switch
No. It is not mandatory.
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.
I went also from 3060ti to 7800 xt nitro. I'm really impressed , i have no issues with it.
Been on my RX6800 for 2.5 years now. Never looked back. Absolutely insane card which still smashes it for my use case today. No regrets.
i also have problem with the tuning resetting, it got solved by disabling quick windows startup from bios
i switch the other way around and I really like nvidia drivers more. It was my main and only reason switching from AMD. AMD drivers would constantly break my PC and I would have to fix it or they would crash, not be supported by a new tittle its just annoying. But I'm glad your liking it
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.
Why didn't you get the 6800 XT or even the 6900 xt?
You have any meaningful comparison between the video encoders of each GPU that you can say? Like Nvenc vs Amd's encoder?
Both AMD and Nvidia have a chip for AV1 so they are pretty good but nvidia still has the advantage of having nvenc
I have the same GPU as you, I have the Asus Dual 7800XT. Do you think this graphics card does gpu sag? Am I supposed to put a support, are you putting it up?
It's so minor and I don't notice it. I'm not going to but if it's bothering you go for it. This card is very light in comparison to most new cards. People put the 5 pound 40 series cards that are 5x the size and length in without a support. In that scenario they need one.
An Asus Dual OC 7800XT should have minimal sag specially if you connect the power cables from the top. I recently bought a Sapphire PURE 7800 XT (3 fans-320mm length) and it literally comes with a support bracket lol. Amazon product weight list shows ASUS 950g and Sapphire 1.67kg. I think you will be fine 👍🏼
Posting for those who might be a bit on the fence with going AMD or NVIDIA as part of their next PC build...
This time last year, I began researching all things PC. I'd always been a console gamer but was keen to dive into the world of PC gaming and build my own (seeing the quality of graphics and fps improvements, it was too tempting!).
As this was my first ever PC build, I didn't realise just how vast the PC landscape is - WOW! So much options and choices. It was a little overwhelming to start with but I soon figured out that if I wanted the very best PC, I'd have to sell some organs to bring some serious coin to the table.
I rather like my organs, so instead of cutting out a kidney, I set myself a budget - $3000 AUD for the PC build (excluding monitor). A sizeable budget for a first time PC build but an amount I was comfortable with, having seen the potential performance that PC gaming can offer.
After spending a solid 3-4 weeks researching and sifting through countless reviews - including plenty of white noise about AMD and their products being bad, driver issues, crashes blah blah blah - in the end, I "gambled" and paired the 7800X3D CPU with the 7800 XT...
One year later, I'm honestly extremely happy with my decision. The performance in games is unreal - I probably would have been blown away with the 7600 or 7700 given I was coming from a console (PS5) but for future proofing, as well as having the budget, I felt the 7800 XT was the best option overall. I certainly feel that my money has been well spent (though I do wonder just how incredible the performance must feel on a 4090!!)
I did procrastinate an awful lot before going all-in and placing the order. I had strongly considered going with Nvidia, partly because of the hype and market monopoly (you have a monopoly on something for a reason - your product is good!) with all the seemingly constant praise for Nvidia, you naturally feel a bit anxious considering any alternative options. Ultimately, the closest like-for-like GPU was the 3080 Ti which only gave 12gb vram (more than enough, but still less to offer than the 7800 XT) and for almost double the price, I simply couldn't justify spending nearly double the amount for a product that ultimately delivers the same levels of gaming performance, at least based on the reviews I had seen.
Looking back, had I bought the 3080 Ti, I'd probably be raving happy about how good the performance is too!
But ultimately, the price-for-performance from AMD was better for me personally. I have no regrets.
If you've got $10K to blow then maybe going the easy route with the top-of-the-range, prebuilt PC with a whopping great 4090 is perfect for you, but if like me you are a humble peasant who cares about their money (or simply have a more stringent budget - there's no shame in that, live within your means) I think AMD is very likely to be the better option for you. Thanks for reading, I hope this helps some of you. Cheerio!
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
Dont worry by the way, that tuning control or whatever also resets for me in the form of msi afterburner for my 1080ti. I think that you need to input those settings everytime cuz thats what i had to do with msi afterburner....
I switched to AMD almost a year ago and the thing has been flawless since day one, no complaints here!
Gonna try first time RX 6800 XT.
Should i go for 12400f or Ryzen 5 5600 what you guys think?
What are your future plans with the setup? I am asking because 12400F is slightly better but there is no decent upgrade path forward while there is 5800 X3D for 5600 .. If you plan to one and done your build and then switch platforms in the future then I recommend going for intel OR 5500 X3D should be releasing in the near future so it could be a better alternative
Those cpus are both going to bottleneck the 6800 xt unless you're playing at 4k. You would at least need a 12600k or 13600k or 5800x
