RTX 4080 Super is now beating RX 7900 XTX with the margin of 3% average on 1440P Ancient Gameplays Latest Benchmark video.


However lows are still better on RX 7900 XTX.

 

[VolticArchangel]

Now beating, as in is this news?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the 4080S already beat the 7900XTX around that 5% margin? I'm talking raster alone, no RT or DLSS.

 

[Gaiff]

So still tied.

 

[Crayon]

One has enough vram for a thousand fucking bucks.

When it was released it was 5% to 10% and some pro title it was 20% better.

 

[Fess]

16GB VRAM on 4080S was a mistake. I want to see the 4090 compared here as well when vram limit isn’t reached.

 

[Zathalus]

How many titles actually use more than 16GB on PC right now?

I thought “ancient gameplay” was a joke about how AMD biased reviewers use ancient games for how “good” AMD have gotten at RT (F1, Shadow Of Tomb Raider) LMAO

I had a 7900 XTX. It isn’t worth it, RT instantly downgrades the card a generation. It’s also the only experience I’ve had in decades where games crash with a “driver timeout” error and other bizarre things.

And if you’re buying a card like this, it ain’t for 1440p.

 

[Soodanim]

No time to watch, but what changed? Drivers or games tested?

Also raster is ancient the RT future is now old man!

But AMD subs insists the drivers are good and that Nvidia also has bugs (because drivers have a list of fixed issues you see…)

The 5700XT I suggested my brother to buy and he got 2 year of black screens with many peoples on amd subreddit having the same problem and the community saying « well mine is fine?! AMD drivers are good, just a you problem » made it very hard to ever recommend AMD after.

7000 series had worse than 6000 series performance in VR for like 8 months after launch. When Fallout got popular because of TV series, Fallout 3 and new Vegas didn’t work on amd drivers. Driver timeouts on World of Warcraft, etc. It’s a huge gamble imo. I suggest a 7800XT for a new build to a work colleague and now I’m crossing my fingers he gets a good experience for a long time.

AMD drivers are good only in eyes of fanboys.

Years of using Nvidia - zero issues related to drivers.

Few months using AMD - few problems caused by drivers.

That's my experience. Most games run completely fine but drivers are not on Nvidia level of being almost problem free.

 

[twilo99]

I dunno I haven’t had any driver issues on my AMD system for years

Different people, different expirience, i have 2 people with 5700XT since start, working like a charm

i've had 670, and league of legends a lot was crashing, until nv fix it.

I have had a 5700 XT since 2019 and rarely have I had an issue with any update or drivers. My card is on the low end for many AAA games of today, but it served me well all these years and I spent less than $500 after taxes for it when I first purchased it. I have played most games I want to play in the 1440P range and some older or less stressful titles at 4K. The top of the line card back in 2019 when I purchased this card was a 2080 TI, and it was a $1000, and I was never going to pay that amount for a card back then. I believe competition for the 5700 XT was a 2070 for $499.99 plus taxes, and all in all I think I made a good choice and have no regrets about my 5700 XT.

Now that more games I want to play are requiring a bump in VRAM and ray tracing, I am going to have to make a decision between AMD and Nvidia once again. I'm leaning toward AMD again because of how well my 5700 XT worked out for me all these years. I will be looking at RX 9070 XT very seriously when it is announced. If the price to performance ratio is good then I will be getting it.

 

[Schmendrick]

k, now turn RT on and set it to high/PT.......

There is no 7090. 9700XT is AMD’s biggest card this year. Rumored to be around 4080 Super / 7900 XTX level but for a $500-600 price point.

5700XT black screens were extremely common, ignoring such problems is what have gotten AMD almost extinct from the GPU space.

 

[SolidQ]

5700XT black screens were extremely common

were, but not all people have it

$500-600 price point.

if around 4080 level, more like 650$

a bump in VRAM and ray tracing, I am going to have to make a decision between AMD and Nvidia once again

5070ti is minimum, 5070 with anemic VRAM again
9070 and 9070XT is 16gb

I posted this topic because generally people believe that AMD GPU are aged well and Nvidia GPU performance decreases overtime when new GPU is about to launch or new game with new features.

Even Ancient was shocked during the video he said that AMD has advantage of RDNA on Console and still it is lagging behind is shocking for him at least.

AMD dominates on the console market and that helps a bit.
But on PC, Nvidia rules with a 90% market share. So hey will optimize for Nvidia first and foremost.
Some might not even care to test with AMD and Intel GPUs.

Thing is 7900 XTX can be had for like $850 in US on sale. That’s usually at least $200 under 4080 Super and in most games AMD is near 4080S performance even with RT (outside say Cyberpunk).

Edit: Talking about the video and the scores there. And especially with hungrier games for VRAM, 7900XTX isn’t bad for the $, IMO.

Edit 2: 7900 XT though is the bang for the $.

It's not unusual for me to play 10+ year old games. I'm sure AMD drivers are good enough for the latest triple A releases but old/obscure games I wouldn't chance it.

Flight sim?

a bit dropped this month

but old/obscure games I wouldn't chance it.

NV also have with old games problems.

 

[RCX]

First time in years I've been happy to be a 2080S owner. lol

 

[Sanepar]

Same bullshit about 3080 and 6800 xt. But look now how both handle games.

7900 xtx has decent vram and will be good next 2 years.

 

[MikeM]

VRAM will give the XTX better legs especially as the PS6 increases its RAM buffer if you own cards for a long time.

This is not unanimous, as it changes for each PC.

However, Windows has been so rubbish lately that I believe it causes more problems than third-party drivers.

In fact, there is one thing that I notice, which is very annoying for those who have AMD. It's not uncommon for me to see people reporting that Windows Update replaced the installed driver with the one they have, which is usually much older.

Oops! Lol, I meant RX 9070 XT. Stupid AMD naming decisions! I will edit that.
