Slamming CP2077 for being boring is a moronic edgelord take. The game is a fantastic RPG action game. At least 25% if the reason I'm motivated to buy a very good GPU is to play that game at 4k at max settings.
The game is BORING AF
I wasn't bored by it in the least and that was in the first 6 months of its release. I can't imagine how great it is now that it's been improved so significantly. An ideal mix between Dues Ex and GTA. And being on the forum for 14 years doesn't lend an opinion anymore weight when it comes to liking or not liking a game.The game is BORING AF
im sorry im not on the forum after being a member for over 14 years now to make people feel happy by agreeing with everything. Im old school. if a game is boring I will say it .. now back on topic I still think if RT is all you care about then by all means buy the leather jacket but if you want to get something different then buy red. The 7900xtx wont disappoint. Nor will the 4080s. It really boils down to one thing. RT... well lets add Cuda. Maybe you care about Cuda. There ya go Easy choice OP, Green or Red... or wait on Battlemage, I hear its supposed to be quite the GPU from Intel.
Oh yeah power... nVidia is far more power friendly than AMD. Amd will cost more in power. Ok there. 2pts for green 1 for red. Easy choice.
Since I own both nVidia and AMD I can use the features of whichever I want. My laptop is nvidia and my desktop is AMD. I like them both. They are both great hardware. But CP2077 is still boring - I dont care how any one feels get offended, see if I care. Game is
14 years was not throwing weight around. It was stating that ive been here long enough and I have seen it all. Members come and members go. But the one that I have seen is that Hardforums didn't use to give AF what anyone cared about. Now everyone is offended by the mere thought of possibly even the most remote chance of being offended before an offense is even made and even that kind of pre-offense is offensive and offends them. Its ridiculous how squish this new generation of people are. I said I didn't like a game and immediately someone was offended. Even you were offended enough to rebuke me for offending you with an opinion that belongs to me.
You didn't offend me with your opinion I just pushed back bc it's a ridiculous thing to say about the game IMO
DLSS is pretty amazing. And I never thought I would say that about an upscaler. But, it is more than just an upscaler. DLSS's Anti-aliasing is the best there is. You can run DLSS with input resolution=output resolution, so no upscaling but still get the AA (called DLAA), and get superior image quality and fast.
Cyberpunk 2077 is the best game I have ever played... and I have played a lot of games.
I'll wait for results. In the meantime I use DLAA whenever possible. The AA built into DLSS is so good, that it can make DLSS Quality (upscaled+DLAA) look better than native res using any other AA tech. If DIrectSR cannot do that, I will not be using it. That DLAA tech I suspect is what makes DLSS look great, and is what AMD hasn't matched. For examples see my old post in HF Tech News on the Jedi Survivor DLSS mod from Puredark, I put many screenshots in there.
Yeah I don't know what they're thinking, I think there's a real chance AMD just didn't make that many of them. I've seen a bunch of sales on AIB models around the 800 mark but they're infrequent and sell out quickly. Mine was used so I paid 800ish for it. It's a solid card but that's really what it's worth in today's market.
AMD never lies...AMD claimed rdna3 was good for up to 3ghz so a 7950 was basically expected to show up around this point but never did. Seen a few posts on forums from around summer last year with expectations for it to pop up around January, but nothing to date.
The current lack of a 7950 doesn't necessarily mean rdna 3 can't scale to 3ghz.
Yeah, I had a stock 7900 XTX (Nitro+) that would hit 3GHz easy. AMD doesn't need a card with a new BIOS on it...they need something with 15% or so more muscle.
Let's be honest here, AMD could release a card that hits 5GHz and still get their lunch taken in performance by an Nvidia GPU running "slower" and using much less power. So what does the GHz number even matter?
It matters since the 7900 XTX at stock trades blows with the 4080/4080S and even beats the 4090 in a rare game or two. So if they pump it up 15% more that gets attention and can eat away at the $1000 level that NVIDIA has taken over with the 4080S.
The only games the 7900xtx beat a 4090 were the games that were sponsored by AMD and rumored to be gimping performance on Nvidia. Had this been the other way around torches and pitchforks would have been seen from this forum, but since AMD can do no wrong, it was largely ignored. So besides those bullshit examples, please provide a source for a neutral game that a 7900xtx beats a 4090.
What I said is true. Not trying to start some kind of tit for tat. What you said was obviously not true - 5GHz RDNA3 would make a diff
So no source on any game that the 7900xtx beats a 4090 that's not been sponsored and rumored to gimp nvidia in one way shape or form? Got it.What I said is true. Not trying to start some kind of tit for tat. What you said was obviously not true - 5GHz RDNA3 would make a diff
Look at the differences as an aggregate - not bad for sub 3 GHz (it’s 4080S but 7900 XTX and 4090 are there)

You got it!
And again, no source provided, but I'm the fanboy? Look in the mirror.
I can’t use AMD sponsored games - hm…how about Battlefield?
You know it!I always buy my graphics cards from GooooBlanket-us
The engine designer for dice that created the frostbite engine had amd cards and liked them. So this engine is biased towards AMD, but I will give that it is not sponsored. Too bad frostbite engine games are all garbage anyways.
The second worst take of this decade. Nice try though.
You should read my original post. I am afraid you are overreacting.
Not overreacting at all. I'm simply stating the obvious. Saying that a rare game or two implies that there is nothing wrong with the game, when that's just not the case at all. Most, if not all of those games have been called out for this shenanigans but nothing ever came of it because it's cool to give AMD a pass. The fact that the only games a 7900XTX matches or "beats" a 4090 are games that are built to be bias to AMD and intentionally gimp Nvidia, full stop. If this is were the other way around this forum and many other places would be crying murder, but it's cool to hate on Nvidia and praise AMD so no one cries foul.
LOL my bad, I forget Amazon has as ton of shady stuff on it from time to time. You'll have to forgive me it's been a busy week with my basement flooding / washing machine dying. I'm tired, getting old and stupid.I always buy my graphics cards from GooooBlanket-us
You're entitled to your opinion, you're also allowed to be wrong. Hopefully you can get over that and post something on topic and useful next time.
lol what, is that a real seller?? What do they sell, sextoys??I always buy my graphics cards from GooooBlanket-us
All kinds of shady resellers on Amazon. Anything with high rating, be sure to read some reviews. Resellers will put something simple up, lets say a butter tray. Put a card in every box for a $10 amazon giftcard for leaving a review, get a quick 1000 5 star reviews over a month, edit the item and item description from a butter tray to a sketch usb hub, and Amazon lets the existing reviews and rating stay. Scammy shit like that all over Amazon from 3rd party resellers.
You caught me!Seems like the seller removed both cards
I wonder if GooooBlanket-us is a [H] reader
Dang I just bought the Powercolor hellhound. Wish I would have seen this first
A game that even the top flagship cards can't do at 60fps (@ 4K)?
It might do that but at a much higher power consumption and higher temps. No one will agree with me, I suspect - but, that would be my guess why you won't see a 'refresh' - unless, there's some tweak they can do with the design and I dunno if they can.
I am sorta confused here.The game is BORING AF

who gives a shit. Buy whatever you want.
Unfortunately, you're here in a thread to suggest a card for someone else. Your personal preference, suggesting a card that's WORSE, is counterproductive to the thread.
