Heya folks,
I have a quote here to get a few new parts installed in an ailing workstation PC. Right now the build I am looking at is centered around A Ryzen 9 7950X and 4070TiS. PC is mostly used for Premiere, Photoshop, Blender, UE4 and some medium gaming.
From what I gathered the Radeon 7000~ series got serious flak for being inferior to the Geforce 40X0's. With Black Friday and Cyber Sales coming up though, I am keeping an eye out for possible sales. Would swapping to a Radeon card be worth it if there is a good deal? Or is the entire 7000 series truly so bad it is irredeemable even in 2025 on a good deal?
Would love to hear your thoughts!
ve been kind of out of the loop for some time. I'm looking to upgrade my GPU, and AMD seems to be the best option price wise, but the 7000 series cards offer the same performance as their predecessors. I'm thinking that next gen will be much better performance wise, but I'm not sure how long it will take for them to arrive.
Between 5000 and 6000 there was 1 year, between 6000 and 7000 3 years, and there's rumors now that the 8000 series gpus could launch by the end of this year. I think I will wait till then.
Is the reason for it the chip shortage?
Hello there! I am currently looking at leaving Nvidia for AMD and hoping to upgrade my RTX 3060 TI to either a RX 7800 XT or above (will probably get a Sapphire Nitro+). I game at 1440p at 144hz. (don't really use raytracing) However I am also a content creator and spend a lot of time making videos and video editing as well as digital art. And I also plan on getting either a Meta Quest 2 or 3 for some PCVR gaming at some point too.
But I heard while RDNA 3 has improved a lot with its video editing performance, it still struggles when it comes to encoding, programs that use CUDA cores, as well as the RX 7000 card struggling with VR games at the beginning of it's release.
And while Nvidia does have DLSS and FG. I can't really tell the difference between it and FSR, and if I get something like a RX 7900 XTX, I probably won't need upscaling.
So TLDR, what are some of the drawbacks that the RX 7000 GPUs have compared to the RTX 4000s, and will it be too much of a hindrance?
