Thread 723547906

Just bought this bad boy. What am I in for?

>>723547906 (OP)
Functional drivers unlike Njudea ones.

>>723547906 (OP)
I'm tempted to get one too. My machine is quite dated with my current card.

>>723547906 (OP)
Video games, probably

>>723547906 (OP)
Reasonable price to performance ratio and enough VRAM for the foreseeable future.

>>723547906 (OP)
was going to buy this one but i bit the bullet and bought and bought a 9070 xt instead

>>723547906 (OP)
Is Sapphire even a good manufacturer?

>>723551206
its the best now that evga is out

>>723551206
For AMD the exclusive manufacturers (Sapphire, Powercolor, XFX, etc) are the best ones. Gigabyte and ASUS usually put out low effort rehashes of their NVidia designs and Asrock is Ugly.

>>723550110
I got a good price on a 9070 XT so I picked one up too and I'm pretty happy with it so far. Replaced a GTX 1080 which is still great but struggling with newer stuff.

you're ready to switch to linux and enter the post microshit future

>>723547906 (OP)
I got 7900GRE for just a bit under it's lunch MSRP ($550) and haven't looked back ever since. Amazing little hottie, i love it so much.

>>723552350
I just want to go back to 7. I don't like 10 and 11 or linux distros. Not like 7 is a good OS but everything else feels like a sidegrade.

>>723547906 (OP)
>What am I in for?
Shit perfomance/issues in half of the g ames because ayymd and 0 emulation or AI capabilities

>>723552197
>>723550110
I could've gone for MSRP, but I was seduced by Asrock's shitty proprietary ARGB that doesn't work with any external controllers and MUST be used with Polychrome.

>>723547906 (OP)
Have fun when AMD releases FSR 5 and it won't be compatible with your GPU.

>>723554392
>just wait!
I've been waiting since Nvidia 1000 series and things never get better. Waitfags can choke on my fat sweaty cock.

>>723552350
A couple of programs that I rely on don't work with Linux. But I guess I'll try the dual boot in the future. Do I need two different storage drives for that? Here we go, I guess.

>>723554957
no, you don't, you can technically split your os drive in two
but in practice it's better to have them on separate drives, there are stories of windows fucking shit up and not playing nice

>>723554957
It just saves you from any potential headaches when you use 2 drives.

>>723547906 (OP)
Is it a good idea to change My Rx 6600 for this? Its at least doble the money i originally paid for the 6600?

>>723556515
it's not even double the performance outside of raytraced slop
wait for udna

>>723556515
It's subjective.
Which games are you going to play with it?
What monitor do you have?

>>723556515
you don't buy cheap crap twice unless a whole decade has passed

>>723547906 (OP)
>SAAAARMD
lol
lmao

Mfg x4 is actually the best thing nvidia produced since programmable shaders.
You have to be insane to play modern game without mfg x4 if the game supports it. It just makes everything so smooth and pleasant to play.

>>723558537
>fake grapchis
It's all so tiresome.

>>723547906 (OP)
>9060 instead of 9070
Bad purchase

>>723556515
Only if you plan to switch to 1440p or already have a 1440p display (preferable OLED)

>>723548069
>>723554053
Saars, reddit and nvidia forums are flooded with complaints and issues. Need to damage control more saar... amd bad saar, nvidia good saar.

>>723547906 (OP)
Minesweeper will never be the same...

>>723558698
It just works!

>>723558537
imagine taking a 30% performance hit for fancy motion blur

>>723560504
You don't know what you're talking about.

kek

>9060XT
boy i sure hope you didn't mistakenly buy the 8GB version

if you got the 16GB then you're in for a decent card for the price. you also have a competent upscaling solution with FSR4 now, enjoy

>>723561403
>Buying a 8GB card in 2025
That is subpar even for a low-end card.

>>723561043
I think you need to play the game with mfg x4 before making low-iq comments.

>>723561486
Yeah, that was completely pointless to throw on the market, especially when it's only fifty quid cheaper. Might as well bring it to the landfill after purchase. It's electronic waste to the highest degree.

>>723561815
>Yeah, that was completely pointless to throw on the market
it's not
i would never buy the 8gb version but you underestimate the number of semi normies who just play league of legends and overwatch and marvel rivals but their ego prevents them from buying the cheapest entry level cards so they go for the lower mid range

>>723547906 (OP)
A world of joy

>>723561930
projection lmao

>>723547906 (OP)
>all that fanfare for a card that isn't even faster than the RTX3070
i guess it must be cheap where you guys live, becuse over here the RX9060XT16GB is around 430-450 euros which is just not worth it at all

>>723563328
Check Amazon, average 9060 XT is around 370€ and I mean the 16GB version, of course.
Also it's smaller and not as power hungry as a 3070.

>>723561795
Sorry, you don't understand that using MFG lowers the base framerate the game runs at.
If you don't have high end card both input lag and image quality will suck.
Your pretty screenshots won't change that.

>>723563545
Input lag sucks regardless of having a 5090 or not. Only people with shit genetics cant feel the half second delay.

>>723563670
input lag doesn't exist
buy nvidia

>Get more fake fps but input lag is higher so action games, the games which would benefir more from extra frames, play worse
>Get more fake resolution but you get artifacts and visual noise when the point of higher resolutions is getting better visual quality
I just don't get it.

>>723563670
If you have high base framerate the input lag won't get much higher with MFG.
I doubt you can even notice sub 10ms difference in single player games.

>>723563670
>Only people with shit genetics cant feel the half second delay.
>half second delay.
Huh? Half second. That's utter nonsense. You'll get half a second of delay only if your base framerate is like 8fps lol. As long as your base framerate is 60fps, your input lag will increase by about 15-25 miliseconds depending on the game.

>>723558537
That shit is disgusting man. The input delay is awful. AMD alternative is bad too

>>723563869
>Get more fake resolution but you get artifacts and visual noise when the point of higher resolutions is getting better visual quality
Except modern upscalers like FSR4 and DLSS4 actually do a good job of aping the visual quality of higher resolutions. You will literally get better image quality by upscaling from 720p to 1440p via DLSS4 or FSR4 than you would playing without any upscalers or AI gimmicks at 1440p.

>>723558717
>9060 instead of 9070
not op but a standard 9070 costs 400 bucks more than a 9060 xt where i live

>>723552350
I'm making the switch to Linux, I'm tired of shitdows, my next build is gonna be a sff, all AMD build with bazzite OS. I already picked a tiny rx 9060xt 16gb but I'm still thinking about which AMD cpu to pick, one that is balanced but isn't a house-fire.

>>723565143
you can always just go with an entry level 7600x with a decent mobo and psu, upgrade come next silicon gen and sell your old shit
