What a cheap ass, lowballing, let's take advantage of ppl and the expensive as hell hardware they spent their hard earned money on. This place offered $317 for an open box, never used, still under warranty ASUS R/S 3080TI...... dirtbags!!!
311 dollars for my RTX 4070 ? Very funny ;)
Didn't turn on afmf for avatar or starfield, or any game people ACTUALLY play, much less test. You're so clearly TRYING to make the 4080 relevant. Make it more obvious you actually care to see the nvidia card on top. Literally only used AFMF in Alan wake and cyberpunk, so were only gonna use afmf in the games the nvidia cards are favored in so you don't tell people the real deal? If anyone even plays these games I'd be shocked but yaknow. Avatar included.
That said if you pick normal titles people ACTUALLY play that already beat the 4080 at a decent fps in most cases the 7900XTX is as fast if not faster than a 4090 in due to afmf now I don't get the absolute lack of talking about this or intentional negligence towards it from people. Nvidia paying yall? Or you scared you won't get sent any more cards or something? Didnt turn on AFMF in the games people do actually play like COD and stuff where the framegen lag would b 5ms and souble the performance of the 4080 after you spent the first half of the video attempting to make it look better. F***, man. Good job using all of the nvidia card and half of the xtx really appreciate the realistic insight to the full potential.
You don't think a 95%performance boost is a good enough step up when nvidia dropped the same card at your own admission?
Oh yeah, you forgot to use that setting alongside RT. How funny. The 4080 is irrelevant and you best hope you not get pregnant d**kriding them that hard saying you'd still buy a 4080 over the xtx after that
i sell it today for 450 € ;)
The only Super card that was about the performance was the 4070-Super.
The 70Ti-Super was about the Vram, and the 80-Super was about the price cut.

If you look at 1% lows in this video that 200 euro is well worth the upgrade.
RTX 4080 is more power efficient, cooler, and has better software optimization for extra FPS too.
4080 super is 25% or $500-$700 more expensive than 7900xtx in Australia.

Seeing cards priced at that much dipping below 60 that much on some modern games is honestly depressing...
Why? You don't have to turn everything to the max you know? If you use reasonable settings and leave off ray tracing most cards can run it fine. Flexibility in game engines is great, I love games that are able to run on affordable hardware yet stress out the high end. And let's be honest in two years/graphics card generations we will be running the game at 144 FPS at max settings.
1200 euro for a graphic card should NOT be giving you such low fps honestly but since people will keep buying for some reasons anyway we will never get lower prices ever. Its the Apple syndrom at that point if someone can get away with selling 1k+ things with little upgrade (nvidia) why woulndt the others do it as well @@dannonyogurt98

Funny thing is, that in Poland RTX 4080 Super is actually cheaper than RTX 4080. Prices are (from cheapest to most expensive):
- RTX 4080 - 1406$ - 1657$ (normal AiO) and 1730$ (water AiO)
- RTX 4080 Super - 1220$ - 1394$
The problem would be volume and how popular new cards would be. To get comparison prices of RX 7900 XTX are:
- 1143$ for ASRock Phantom OC
- 1183$ for PowerColor Hellhound Spectral White
- 1381$ for Sapphire Nitro+ OC
I'm interested how would those change in a month. Now I don't thing anyone would go and buy RTX 4080. Price is so much different between RX 7900 XTX and with conversion to PLN it is even higher (around 850 PLN between cheapest models). RTX 4080 Super is better, but I still think those cards cost too much and EU tax is killing us even more. I'm waiting for new generation, because prices are too big and I want a little lower power consumption with performance around RX 7900 XT/RTX 4070 Ti Super.
Sapphire is 999. Was on sale last week for 799. All USD.
yeah, the cost is the same here in Norway, the EU tax is really a setback.
ive just ordered a new pc for myself and i want to go team green but the 200 usd premium while wanting to keep the cost down, im leaning towards amd but then theres the potensial driver instability that can come with amd..
i did end up ordering a ASRock Phantom OC but i am left with a thought if ive made the right choice or not. hopefully ill be happy with it once it arrives.
@@Gamokmk1 If you get one without QC issues you will be happy. It got hefty Power limit and it will do far higher clocks. I tried to lock my XFX M310 to MBA card in avatar and damn clocks tanks like crazy :) in times it is like 500 MHz slower and I don't even use full PL of 466W.

Kjøpte 7900XTX sapphire, har ikke hatt noen problemer med drivere, eneste jeg har opplevd er at det kom ut en driver-update som gjorde frame generation bedre.
Fordelen med AMD her er at de har masse forbedringspotensiale på driveren og mye de kan tweake, har har ikke nvidia like mye å spille på - og etterhvert som AMD blir mer brukt, så vil flere spill begynne å legge til støtte for FSR 3 f.ex så du får tilsvarende DLSS performance om ikke bedre.
Bare se på performance på 7900XTX når det først kom ut, og hvor mye det her forbedret seg over tid med updates, drivere og AMD Adrenalin.
Og det er alltid en bonus at du velger å støtte AMD ovenfor NVGREEDIA (Bare se på release prisene til 4080/4090... lmao)
@@explorerowPrøver selvfølgelig å støtte team rød så godt jeg kan, at nvidia har kjørt monopol og tviholdt på technologien på den måten de har, og de har vært ganske stygg på visse ting, har ikke akkurat ledet til god utvikling.
blant annet PhysX oppkjøpet nvidia hadde tilbake i 2010 ca? det var jo noe de tviholdte på. Det skulle jo egentlig være ett eget kort for physics behandling som de da har klart å implimentere inn i sine egne kort.
AMD har gjort en god jobb med å utvikle sitt eget men de hadde jo en del år AMD ikke produserte noe i det heletatt pga omstruktureringen de gikk gjennom.
men ja, prøver å støtte amd så godt jeg kan for å støtte videre utvikling, for det er gjennom AMD som kommer til å pushe ballen videre.
Men jeg må si at jeg har noe dårlige oppleveler med QC også som gjør at jeg gjerne har ett bedre syn på nvidia når det kommer til kvalitet.
Men vi får se, jeg får kortet mitt i morgen så blir gøyt å prøve!
remember when the 80 class costed at most 700 dollars? pepperridge farm remembers.
Correct price is 500 after taxes
Yeah like 15 months ago.
I member
remember when a burger was a $1?
Yes, it was called the 3080. So only last generation. But that was during mining boom when nobody could buy video cards at MSRP. Unfortunately Nvida and AMD are selling their cards today at the prices they would go for during the mining craze and that's already over.
Thank you so much for all your reviews! I'm building my first PC and I've been following your channel for a few months now. Picked up my 4080s this morning and I can't wait for it to arrive!!
Orderd 4080s as well! Although separate pc component upgrades will happen gradually.
7900 XTX is generally faster. And cheaper.
@johnhenderson7285 no its not, it has crappy temps and worse performance in general. Its only faster when you dont have RTX on.
Just bought a 7900xt for 770 euro.
4070ti super is 900+ here,
4080 super 1100+.

@@buzielo3749 second
beat u.. got it first
How the hell you pay $700 plus dollars for a card you can’t fully utilize you literally have to turn shit off in order to get a decent game play.. raytracing ain’t goin no where & Amd cards struggle cards struggle big time which means you are limiting yourself & now it’s just not the features and raytracing there getting beat at now it’s also raster since these super cards release which now makes Amd a terrible value it doesn’t win in anytime lol
Good luck With Crashes, No dlss, bad rt and Driver Problems
I can't believe I'm going to say this
Rtx 4080 super is the perfect graphics card right now
999$ and you can play at 1440p with ray tracing at any heavy game
Or 4k native but without ray tracing
or 4k with ray tracing but with dlss balance ( or fg if you want to use it)
7900xtx really lose it in ray tracing and in power consumption
Even on performance without ray tracing because it's only 5% who care
Dlss is better than fsr so rtx 4080 s is the wise choice
Successfully purchased 4080s fe...! Looking forward to it 🥰.
$999 is where it should have been all along. 👍

My 5 3080's still max the games we played in my home.
@@club4ghz Yeah that shouldn't be happening.
@@club4ghz It doesn't. If you're seeing that then it is a driver issue due to the newer SKU.
@@NeVErseeNMeLikEDisI don't see Nvidia or even AMD going back to pre-Covid inflation prices ever again. So you'd probably be looking at 70 series in the future.
Appreciate the work you've done here, this made my decision to go with a 4080S over the XTX pretty easy (they're priced right on top of eachother in Canada). 4080S Gigabyte Gaming OC arrived yesterday and it didn't take very long to realize it's simply a better GPU.
Agree 100% the XTX needs to exist at least 200USD cheaper as otherwise the savings are unlikely to feel worth it when you're already paying 1K USD.
Didn't realize how much I appreciated the nvidia software either - love having broadcast back for proper noise cancellation.
I use both GPU brands (RTX4080 and RX7900XTX) but with DLSS 3.5 Nvidia GPU produce better images imho. The main issue is not the brand of the GPU, the main issue is that devs are more used to nvidia tech than rdna technology. In most games the RX 7900XT will provide more fps than the RTX, but in simulations like MSFS and X-Plane 12, the RTX is way faster because of the inner code.
yeah , but you are still getting worse pic compared to native.
@@marceelino in alot of cases dlss quality at 1440p is better than native TAA, plus, DLAA is a thing and its amazing.
@@bindxpoxt I never said with TAA.
@@marceelino you know alot of games either has TAA forced all the time, or FXA and TAA has options right?
@@bindxpoxt You can disable it most of the time, if not in-game you can do it in the configs.
why place the fps counter differently on both benchmarks?! it makes it hard to compare.
For me it is quite the opposite, it is easier for me that way
womp womp
My only concern as someone who likes to get many years (I upgraded to a 7900 XTX from a 390X) out of my GPU and who tends to play AAA titles months to years after the fact is ultimately the VRAM differences. 16GB vs 24GB ... will it matter 6-8 years down the road?
I'm guessing current consoles have about 14gb or so of usable unified VRAM (16 minus about 2 for OS) But they 'Target' 4k as a base now so if u don't mind lowering your res in the future you might not need so much. But might also help if we see unoptmized/broken titles.
8 years from now we'll be half way through next gen and might see a PS6 Pro. I expect next gen to have 24-36GB VRAM, as they at least always double, but 24 is aloooot.
So I would guess and say 24GB is definitely the minimum if you want to be set for 6-8 years.
Also depends on how you feel about the more niche things regarding their pros and cons
AMD: Save a bit of money
Wayyyy More VRAM
Better software with adrenaline
People claim it ages better
Might release future features NVIDIA releases with better support for old cards
NVIDIA: Runs cooler
Better software support for more niche titles/software
Better at Ai workloads
Better at raytracing
Might come out with a new feature/technology that AMD will have to wait to recreate
(Ex: New feature only available on Rtx 5000 and 4000 gen cards)
That's how I'm trying to decide.
Nah the guy on the video has a bad take. You are right. Vram buffer is the most important thing if you wanna maintain longevity of the gpu. In 3 years from now, 16gb is gonna be not enough. 7900xtx would be. I'm still deciding on which one to buy, but the 7900xtx is hard to ignore at such a low price with so much power. Nvidia has better software technology but at the end of the day, we can update software but not the hardware like we like to
It reminds me when everyone was saying 4GB is enough VRAM for anyone. Anyone who fell for that and didn't get the 8GB versions found their card bottlenecking within a few short years.
What GPU should I recommend for a friend who is planning to play (the next) Flight Simulator in VR? Anything below the 4090 is an option.
The PC is already built around the 7800X3D. I don't have much understanding about the VR performance of these cards, software support etc.
I'm in the EU, cheapest models are below:
4080S for 1300$,
4070Ti Super for 1000$
7900 XTX for 1200$,
7900 XT for 960$,
7800 XT for 660$
Only reasonable option is 7800xt or used 68xt/6900
@@lifemocker85
Yeah I feel the same price / performance wise. I'm just clueless about this specific use case. (VR)
Grabbing a 7800XT (or something around this price level) now and if it's not powerful enough just upgrade it in a year when new gen lands might be a cheaper option than handing out a lot more money now.
@@H4GRlDonly NVIDIA. You buy cheap you psy twice. Forget amd
@@justinwalker5237 Unless there's some kind of VR specific headache with AMD, it's difficult to justify the price premium of Nvidia now, I'm fairly confident that Blackwell will destroy Ada cards price / performance wise in just a year, this is true for RDNA4 as well.
Naturally if AMD is not a viable option for VR that changes the whole conversation, this is what I'm trying to figure out now.
For VR i would only recommend Nvidia. AMD would work fine but Nvidia cards are just overall smoother and on average faster on VR. Saying this from personal experience as i play alot of VR. I literally make videos on VR
Thank you so much, this was exactly the comparison I wanted to see. Especially since you're so thorough in measurement and observant to detail in the results. This video really helps clarify my buying decision. Thanks again.
Do you have any plans to do an ultrawide benchmark?
Would like to see 21:9 1600p
I would do it if I got free GPUs to test. :) I have a 32:9 set up.
From playing on both 21:9 and 16:9 over the past years, UW results usually just sit smack in between the different 16:9 resolutions. FOV affects things a little dependind on how aggressively the engine is culling.
Especially RT scales pretty linear with render resolution pixel count until you hit VRAM limits.
@@adriankoch964Yeah a 1440P UW is 2/3 the pixels of 4K.
Which driver was being used with the amd card? Alan wake 2 received a quite noticeable performance bump with the 23.11.1 driver and I think also a slight bump with the 24.1.1.
Bought an open box 7900 xtx for 942 euros. Great card powerful as hell. Decent ray tracing (I don't play Cyberpunk). But it consumed 450 watts. So I return it. I bought an open box 4080 for 929 euros. It does the same job while pulling 120 watts less.
If more games are coming with permanent RT on like Avatar. Your future self will thank you.
How tf dont u check any specs and data before buying o0? Based on color? I hope no one sells u a fiat for a Ferrari price just cause its red.

@@Greenalex89Bit hash mate! He’s showing he has the ability to resist the way of the AMD fanboy fraternity and think for himself.
It’s not like AMD would ever dare compare their cards to the actual competing card form another company let alone tell you it’s sucks over 100w more.
All gpu’s look almost identical, especially aib cards. You wouldn’t know if a gigabyte card was AMD or nvidia unless it said Radeon or GeForce on it. Even an Amish person could tell a Ferrari from a fiat lol
In Aus the 4070 ti super and 7900xtx are the same price at $1500 each for the cheaper models at most stores,and the 4080 super being $1999.
If you live in upside down land you're pretty much guaranteed to get epically screwed on anything PC or gaming related. Stop electing tax happy liberals.
Holy man. In Canada 4070 ti super is 1100+ and 4080s is 1350+
You can also get a 4080 for $1500, which makes more sense than either of those at the same price.
Wtf
@@Jas7520 its AUS$, 4080 would be more than $2000 there.
As JayzTwoCents mentioned in his video he released today, he thinks that the AIB's might put their 4080 Super cards out at $1200 if they do like they did with the 4080 non-super where they were putting them out for like $1500.... roughly $300 above MSRP. The 4080 Super founder's edition cards are pretty much gone, they didn't make many of them. So the 7900XTX might be the way to go anyway because of the AIB prices if you're picking between the two. Maybe it won't be $300 over but we'll have to see what the AIB's do.
@@1984Captive Yeah, all this launch really does a good job of is make people who bought the 4080 non-super feel like fools. The super will be cheaper overall than the original 4080 for basically the same card, but not down to the price of a 7900XTX unless you can get an elusive FE. There's no way anyone with a 4080 non-super should be buying the super either.
Now if people didn't have a 40 series card, and wanted a super, and were lucky enough to get one of the relatively few FE 4080 super cards, not bad. $200 cheaper than the old 4080 MSRP and $500 cheaper than most 4080 AIB models. But the launch is only good for a small niche of people.
Question: I'm not from the US but my uncle currently traveling there and I asked him to bring me an 7900xtx when he comes back (on February 20)... Do you guys think that the 7900xtx price could significantly drop in just less than 20 days or nah? I ask because I'm trying to pick the right time to buy it.
Your reviews are the absolute best. I always love your reasoning and conclusions, and how instead of just saying nvidia is just overpriced , you give recommendations based on the prices that we do have and give takes from many different perspectives. I think us viewers find that very valuable, so thank you! All these other channels who have been doing this forever got nothing on you
new to your content. great work!
AMD needs to go down with the prices, the 7900xtx needs to be a 899$ or 849$ card imo.
I would say 750 and 7900xt for 650
Nvidia needs to lower their prices..
Even then still terrible price..with super only bein a 999.99 with better overall performance along with the extras..that will only make it $100 difference. needs to be $699

Just ordered my rtx 4080 super for $1029 usd
I am very surprised that AMD didn't drop the price on the XTX for this launch. Maybe they are betting on the 4080 super selling out very quickly. But if not, NVIDIA seems to offer the better deal at this price point. Never thought I would say that.
XTX sales are very strong and so they don't feel they need to do anything. Most likely AMD is cutting prices to AIBs behind the scenes so that prices will better stay closer to $900 than $1000. That's really all they need to do for that SKU. XTX at $900ish and XT at $750ish will sell fine. As for the 4080 Super, it's not like everyone is going to line up to pay $200-300 extra for the same performance with 50% less VRAM in 2024. And as far as 16 GB being "enough," CP2077 with the 4K texture packs already takes up 24 GB VRAM *now*. Not 5 years from now. There are at least 5 games I've played over the last year that take 16 GB with all the bells and whistles enabled which I hope you would be using on a card at this price point. Again, that is *now*, not 2, 3, 4 years from now. If you're going to be trading off your purchase in a couple of years, go for your life. But if you want your graphics card to be an investment, the XTX is a no-brainer.
@@LukewarmEnthusiast at $900 I can see the XTX being competitive, but you can make an argument that the ray tracing performance is also a good future investment. Personally, I'm with you and I got a 7900 Xt. I'm just saying that it's not a no-brainer win for AMD anymore like it used to be
These tests seem off,all other reviewers give the XTX ahead of 4080 super in rasterization,for Daniels the tests often put Nvidia ahead?
@@bournechupacabra My XTX has done fine for the RT games I play. Played Ratchet and Clank just fine and playing elden ring 4K max at a solid 60FPS(framerate limit for elden ring). Haven't had a want to play CP2077 tech demo so all good there. The XTX keeps up with the 30 series in ray-tracing and even the 4070ti and below. Overall just run RT at lower res or adjust the settings like PC players have done for decades. Majority of games still have no ray tracing. Especially if you play anything online or play older/indie games.
Nvidia has BEEN offering a better deal lol. Nothing new.
Another solide review and analysis. Thanks
4080 super is $700 more than the 7900XTX in Australia. Pretty easy to see where the value is
Basically, if you hate RT and will never use it on principal, don't get the brand that puts focus on it. If you do want to use RT, go with the brand that cares about it.
The brand that "cares about it" cares so they can justify putting tensor cores in their gpu. Raytracing is a gimmick for the next 10 years, as Nvidia admits in their presentations. AMD wastes as little silicon on it as possible.
Ray Tracing will be standard in games in the future. Even AMD said they want it in games on the consoles. Some games already have it and AMD gpus get spanked.
@@GameCookerUSRocks Raytracing will be in games in the future yes. What you fail to understand, because you drank the koolaid, is a 7060 and 10700xt will do better raytracing than a 4090 does today for half the price. We are years from raytracing being beyong a gimmick feature to justify $2000 cards.
@@JohnSmith-ro8hk Ray tracing cards are not $2,000. A 4060 can do RT. That's $300. My 2070 can do RT at 1080p. Lol. That's old now.
And Ray tracing is not a gimmick. It's better to do than baked in shadows if you want your game to look any good.
And all the features in the RTX GPUs are useful and very good. Things that making the gaming experience better.
@@GameCookerUSRocks You can get a vastly superior image quality and framerate on low end hardware if you never touch rt gimmick. You are either braindead or you work for nvidia.
I just orderd a 4080 super, it was a lot lower in price than the 4080's listed locally, $300 lower, the pricing for the 4080's did not change which in my local currency equivalent was $1600 which is a lot higher price compared to those availabel internationally.
I was hoping to stop being soo addicted to watching benchmark videos but still seem to gradually watch these to confirm whether purchasing decision was accurate. Considering in my own ranking system the 4080 is second to the first place card in the world 4090 and competing between 20-50fps for 4k resolution gaming with ray tracing and upscaling.
I was primarily an old school gamer playing mostly retro videogame console backlog. It took me months trying to figure out the current pc jargon of what is bare minimum admirable. I initially got a second hand 3060 and at 1080p runs brilliantly, although the monitors in my setup are mostly 4k for tv and productivity, only 1 being a 24inch 1920x1080 75hz monitor. The landscape to traverse in todays pc gaming world with FSR/DLSS/Frame generation/Upscaling/Native/Ray Tracing/Path Tracing... and then comparing charts among charts is quite arduos.
I was hoping to curb this journey by getting imo the second best gpu card in the world but somehow I have continued to watch more benchmark videos...
Great video by the way!
I think it's mainly to confirm purchasing decision...
You will never stop. Then the new cards will launch in 10 months and Nvidia will advertise how 'sh*t' your card performs compared to its successor, it will have a bunch of new software features that you will be told are unavailable to your model because of 'hardware limitations '. And you will watch all the Hardware Unboxed videos on the 50 series cards, looking down the list of models to see yours struggling to stay in the top 35% of the chart and you will feel bad. It will begin to eat at you, and so you will start watching more benchmarking videos of the new GPUs. Eventually you will convince yourself that it will be worthwhile to upgrade.
This is the way 😆
@@TheSwayzeTrain I have a 4080s but I still like watching the economics of price to performance and feature set comparisons as well as future tech that will be more promising.
You're a master of your craft, thanks for all your work!
i really wanted to upgrade to a 7900xtx but basically 1k dollars was just to much, i like ray tracing but the 4080 was no go at 1200+. with the extra features and ray trace performance i think i could talk my self in to a 4080super. at only 50 less theres no way i get a xtx. if they did what you suggest and hit 800 id prob have bought a xtx already. theres where amd missed a huge oppertunity, they should have dropped the price ahead of the launch.
Yup I was scanning XTX prices as well. There's no way I'm buying an XTX for 950 when the Super was coming out for 999. If the XTX was 800 I'd be an AMD XTX enjoyer today instead of a 4080 Super enjoyer. Ordered my card from Best Buy.
believe me, the actual price difference will basically never be only 50 usd. (depends on region of course)
More like 150+
I just ordered a 4080 super, I play on a 4k screen and want to use 4k, and I care a lot about RT performance, and so far DLSS is better than FSR (but it's getting closer and closer, i wonder if fsr might even surpass it at some point).
But I should say that I was already intending to buy a 4080 even before I heard of the new super series going to be released despite the insane prices... well now i get one for a bit better price, I was also considering the 4070 Ti Super but after it was released it wasn't as much better than the 4070 Ti as I had hoped and also where I live the prices are the same and even price overlap so there are a lot of fancy 4070 Ti and 4070 TI Super (Asus strix and such) that cost about the same as a mid range 4080 super... and some fairly mid range and common 4070 TI Super (asus TUF) were selling for just $150 less than the 4080 super I ordered.
Dude, if u use upscaling at 4k, ur actually playing at 2k.
The 4080 cant handle its own features without upscaling. Meaning: u are paying a 4k premium price for a 1440p card.
@@Greenalex89why so black and white? depends on what game and what graphics settings and what fps i feel is acceptable... like in cyberpunk2077, no you can't run it on full rt (not to even mention pathtracing) in 4k native with playable framerates. I probably won't use pathtracing much but even if i use psycho or ultra rt lighting and all RT functions on, i'd need to run it at a lower scale, usually i fiddle with this on my own via dlss tweak to set something good for each game, some games are fine at dlaa (native res going through the dlss engine), but you can set what ever internal resolutions you want so you don't have to play at "quality" which is 1440p from 4k as it is x0.66667... (1/1.5) of native, balanced is x0.5882353... (it's 1/1.7), but i can choose something in between like 0.625 (1/1.6), a small number of games have "ultra quality" which is x0.76923.. (1/1.3), but maybe I want to play at x0.75 which seemds more round (1/1.33333...) or x0.8 (1/1.25), I can even run DLAA horizontally and dlss vertically setting the internal resolution manually to 2880x2160 (the native is 3840x2160 on standard 4k), this works great in many games and even completely got rid of unsightly dlss ghosting in rdr2 when i played it on my 2070 Super (which is what i had until an hour ago when i got and installed my 4080 super).Sure in many games I will play it in native of course in such a powerful card, but DLSS is still a necessity for many very demanding games when on 4k. (though interestingly the last of us pc edition ran really well on my 2070 Super in native 4k, but i had to lower some settings to not go exceed the available vram.
@@gunnarthegumbootguy7909lol this dude clearly doesn't have any experience with DLSS at 4k.
Is there image quality difference between these 2 GPUs in native resolution without RT??🤔
(like difference in colors, brightness, shadows...)
I had i5-8600k and gtx 1080 , still dont see much of an issue for the games i play lol.
The price to upgrade and quality issues with the GPUs just makes me think twice if its really worth my investment?
For AFMF, do you enable HYPR-RX with it? Radeon Boost withing HYPR-RX is meant to be paired with AFMF to counter AFMF dynamically disabling it'self during fast motion by enabling Boost (Dynamic Resolution) only where there's camera movement.
Also, Moore's Law Is Dead would be happy to have you on his Broken Silicon Podcast! And as a view for both of you, I and many others would love to see you on there if you aren't too busy!
It might, but tbh I would rather just use a controller with AFMF bcuz Radeon Boost is disgusting and in some other games like DOTA (for example, but basically top down view games) AFMF doesn't turn off.
Best review on youtube👍
No. He is good. No doubt about it but the best are Hardware Unboxed and Gamers Nexus.
Does it matter which one i pick? I have a 4080s Windforce & ichill x3 that I can pick up rigth now
No
choose which ever brand that has better after sales support and not the entry base model.
If you do nitpick about OC potential, temperature and noise, then brands does matter. I personally do care about temperature, so going for mid range like Asus TUF is safe, that’s a well balanced card.
Are you really going to be using ray tracing? If not get the 7900xtx.. Ray tracing is over-rated anyway

Thanks Daniel. Good job !
The 7900 XTX was widely available under $900 in July, so AMD could definitely get away with lowering their prices to $850, since you would think that as time goes on, it will get cheaper to produce. The XTX was also available for $800 as a flash sale on Amazon 2 or 3 weeks ago.
Those sales were probably scams. Amazon is horrible at detecting those and reacting in time
@@Greenalex89 No they were not. The flash sale was sold and shipped by Amazon, and the ones available under $900 were available at Newegg and was shipped by Newegg. There's been plenty of scam listings, but those I mentioned were not.
Everyone really needs to be less afraid to try open box deals if you're seriously considering graphics cards within this price range. Especially if you're remotely concerned about your budget. I bought my 7900xtx for $850 at microcenter in July (my 2080 died, thanks gigabyte!) and my gpu is just fine. Even have a 5 year warranty on it as if it was a new product. Definitely ask!!!
Over here the 4080s is about 200€ more expensive than the 7900xtx. If it wasn't for DLSS being so good i would have bought a xtx already.
Yeah, 150-200€ is kinda the threshold where it's a close call based on your preferences. Here's hoping that even if the gap remains the same, both cards are simply cheaper.
you play 4k? or why you upscaling? dlss is not 200€ better than fsr lol.
and the fact that it's using 200-300wats less power to do the same job xtx does.

Good video, skipped to the end for pricing because 4080S=4080. The 1% lows and lower temps are nice but I went for the $799 newegg 7900xtx back in October and its been excellent. Even better than the 3080 $699 launch price in 2020.

how much potential has the 7900XTX left, when it comes to performance increase with driver updates? I know it is game dependant but in the early days the 7900XTX could just keep up with the RTX4080 while needing more power

Thanks for the test, it clarified a lot for me. Although I would often choose AMD, in this case it is definitely better to take the 4080 super than the 7900xtx

Saw a high end AIB model of the 4070 ti for about $640 usd too. That deal nearly got me
I was just curious about the difference in quality/speed between 1440p native vs 4k upscaled. From what I gather from a cursory look, you're only losing 10% fps for what could be a higher quality image than 1440 native. Anyway, a video on that would be good.
I don't have a video about that, but I'm a big fan of 4k. Upscaled 4k (even using DLSS performance mode, so 1080p render res) looks better than any native lower resolution in my opinion.
If you have a 4080 with a decent PCB then open Afterburner, set VRAM to +1300 and Core +150, hit apply and there you go, same or better performance than a 4080 Super. Of course you can also tweak a 4080 Super but the point still stands.
Point doesnt really stand to compare overclocked with stock, when overclocking is no cost, low effort thing to do
The points doesn't stand cause u can do the same with the 4080 super, ergo, they will never be the same. Why u even would to buy a 4080 super having a 4080 KEK.
80 super isn't for a person who already have the 80!

Does it have enough vram for the next 5 years? 1440 ultrawide
5 years? A long time.
With the development of AI and the advancement of technology, it is impossible to estimate what the next few years will be like for the gaming and technology industry. Now that there is AI, graphics and technologies are expected to evolve considerably in the coming years. As a result, new demands will arise.
I don't think it makes sense to buy any video card or CPU now thinking about the next 5 years. Many things will change.
If worried about vram go for the 7900 XTX
Most likely.
3 years at top.
In 5 years it will run like the newest 60ti anyway!
My goodness, is your research thorough or what? :) I watched your videos for a couple of years now and I get so much information out of them that it sometimes scares me. Anyway, my question is: do you think that AMD will come around with something really gamechanging in the next few years considering downscaling technology and RT? I remember when FSR was hyped like nothing two years ago but honestly, until today I gnash my teeth when I have to use it as the picture quality becomes average to sometimes even horrible (scenes with a lot of detail and small movements in particular). The feeling is that they are still two or thre generations behind. Nvidia's RT technology is just so much better. I am asking because I think about kicking my good ol' faithful 6900XT for a 4080 as I will also move to 4K in the next months most likely. As I didn't have another current card from Team Green until now, I guess that I can also take a 4080 Super without any danger, as the "old" 4080 still costs roughly the same... Nvidia and their ripoff business model...
4080S and 7900 xtx are around 1050/1100 $ in my country.

The 1% lows alone makes this the easiest choice ever, 4080 super all the way, not even a match with those 1% lows stuttering, also considering every other nvidia advantage with RT perfomances and far superior upscaller and frame generation. 7900xtx wont compete with 4080 super if they dont drop the prices, and even if they drop the price by 100 still doest not justify saving 100 dolars for all the subpar features above, and especialy those 1%'s.

have you decided?
@@JahonCross 4080S made it an easy choice. Played Cyberpunk 2077 with RT Ultra(1440p) on at 120-140 FPS absolutely smooth. 4080 *Way* better temps, with my case fans turned down to 40% and the GPU fans at 40% it's just fine sitting at 72 degrees with a hotspot around 90. XTX had awful temps, way more power usage and only offered more frames in situations where I couldn't notice them without an FPS counter in the corner. Could not think of a good reason to keep the XTX so it's in the box and will be going back this weekend.
On top of all that the 4080S has 0 coil whine and every single XTX I have tried has been LOUD in this respect. XTX doesn't have a good value proposition over the 4080S, I can not think of a single reason to pick it over the nvidia option.
The 1% low is the reason why I switched to Nvidia and never looked back. My last AMD cards were the r9 270x crossfired (yeah, a long time ago). With only one card, I would notice stuttering even though my avg fps was 60 fps. When I switched to the gtx 970, I was getting similar avg framerates, but the stuttering experience was gone. At the time, no one was measuring 1% lows/frametimes, and I couldn't explain why nvidia was better. Sad to see that AMD cards/drivers still have this issue til this day.

It hits me wrong that GPUs north of $600 require upscaling for playable frame rates (with RT enabled) and the less powerful GPUs that could really benefit from upscaling are not powerful enough to use it well. I went from an EVGA 1080Ti FTW3, a 4K 120hz 55" TV and playing GW2 (no RT possible) to a 7900XTX HellHound. All the eye candy and an avg of 30 FPS more. Not amazing uplift, but at the time, at $900, a minimum of $300 cheaper than the 4080. My 1080Ti had no RT capability so I didn't notice the lack of RT (or care to be honest) with the 7900XTX. With the new name and $200 price cut, the 7900XTX needs to be $100-125 cheaper as well. Sorry, but Nvidia does have more mind share. Not better performance in many cases and certainly not better prices. AMD has to compete with facts as well as perception and perception is way tougher to overcome. Political rant: Lord, Trump is still not in jail for one example of perception. I'm 70, Watergate and 'Nam are current events and the parallels between two presidents attempting to keep power are scary.

I feel that the 4080s is a safer bet. The 7900xtx doesn't do upscaling as well or ray tracing. It dies on path tracing. I think it is slightly faster in raster and maybe software RT like luman, but it doesn't dominate the 4080s. I also love Alan Wake 2 and other games in the remedy connected universe. I think you should add in ratchet and klank or forespoken just so you have a direct storage game. From what I can tell the 4070tis is a little better bang for the buck than the 4080s.

COD MW3 & WZ3 has an issue with ReBar and Smart Access Memory. If you play with RB or SAM on the frame rate tanks by 100fps+ depending on where you are looking
Interesting, that probably explains the 1% lows issue. I always run benchmarks at "out of the box" settings, which for AMD on newer motherboards is SAM turned on.
Here in Hungary i've bought my 7900xtx for ~1000 euro (half year ago) and it keeps the price in the same range actually,. You can buy the basic 4080 (non super, non ti, non max, non pro, mega, giga ect.) for ~1300-1500 euro now and than. I think it's no brainier what you'll choose in price/performance ratio if the rt is not a necessary factor for you in gaming.

I used Google translate to understand your comments because I wanted to be in the Hungarian club.
I don't usually see any difference between RT on and off, especially if I'm gaming instead of inspecting.

Same, in many games is not worth it, I prefer smooth gameplay than some reflection that I just don't care
I have to agree with your analysis. That's why I went and bought the 4080 Super today. A $50 discount is not enough for me to pick the AMD 7900 XTX. If the AMD GPU cost between $800-850 I probably would have gone for that instead but it wasn't. AMD just isn't doing enough to compete and they KNEW the 4080 Super was dropping today. So what are they doing in the market?
Could have had 7900 XTX 14 months ago. That is the difference.
Got a 7900xtx for 650$ new on amazon but theyre gone at that price now
your the best bro, thank you for all youve done!
hey, on what sites is he checking the prices?
No Idea. In Spain the 7900xtx is in the 950-1000€ and the 4080 super 1120-1200€ for the cheapest models. So it's more like a 150-200€ difference.

Guys is that hotspot temp at the AMD side? I never know whst to focus on, hotspot or the other temp option at AMD. Maby someone can explain?
The hotspot-temperature is the hottest spot on the card. Thats not "one" single sensor.
its oem model so temps are higher than with aftermarket ones
@lifemocker85 but is it hotspot temp or normal temp. I can monitor both of them but but I dont know what is used to benchmark.
@@stabilozz normal temp I think, hotspot is usually higher than around 70
@@stabilozz Hotspot-Temp ist higher then GPU Temp. All tech-magazines uses the GPU Temp, not Hotspot.
It is definitely worth it even before looking at the benchmarks. Wanna know why? No influencer will tell y'all. Because WoW on DX12 is literally unplayable for MULTIPLE MONTHS and AMD has fixed absolutely NOTHING. They have communicated nothing as well, despite tons of people constantly reporting their driver timeouts. No ETA on the fix, no workarounds, nothing. Just switch to DX11 and hopefully you won't crash as much. THREE MONTHS now I've spent way too many hours troubleshooting, fresh installing, DDUing, whatever you can think about. No. For just $50 bucks, just go with NVIDIA. And never trust reviewers, none of them ever mentioned that there's a chance the games you play will never get fixed. 7 good years with my 1060 6GB I never had any issues.

So sorry.
4080 was already worth it before the price cut, now it's a no brainer.
It's almost february, and yet still no FSR3 updates on promised games, the heck are those game devs doing smh...
I upgraded to a 7900xtx from a Nvidia GTX 1080. It was a legendary card for me and lasted from 2017 to 2024. Went with the xtx to ensure I get the same longevity out of an expensive gpu
It's still meh all around, but AMD _HAD_ to know the 4080 super was going to make the XTX look bad because they already knew exactly what the 4080 was. When AMD is winning they're _barely_ winning, but when Nvidia is winning they're absolutely decimating the XTX. You can get away with that when you're $200 cheaper but looks terrible when you're around the same price.
AMD could have proactively dropped it's price to steal some of Nvidia's thunder, but in typical AMD fashion you can always count on them to wait until _after_ they look foolish before they react. 🤦 Cmon AMD.
ngreedia only wins in rt titles
@@lifemocker85 It's brainless comments like this that make you AMD fanboys insufferable. What part of "When AMD is winning they're barely winning, but when Nvidia is winning they're absolutely decimating the XTX." did you not understand? Did you even watch the video?
There's never a time AMD is far enough ahead to where you would really notice. There's plenty of times Nvidia is fucking _destroying_ them. And that's NOT just in RT. Often when AMD has slight leads in average fps in non-rt games, Nvidia is still killing them in 1% lows, and that matters FAR more than averages to feel like smooth gameplay. And keep in mind one of those rt games is an AMD sponsored title they're getting schooled in.
Now account for AMD's cheaper memory (16gb of gddr6x costs more than 24gb of gddr6), cheaper die, inferior upscaling, inferior FG, and terrible VR, you realize it's not Nvidia being greedy. AMD has notably fatter margins on the XTX than the 4080 super. Nvidia is still overpriced, yes, but the XTX is insultingly overpriced. And if you don't think AMD is greedy, just take a look at Threadripper pricing to see what AMD does the second they're ahead. If they released the 4090 and not Nvidia I guarantee it would have had a $2000 MSRP.
RDNA3 is a flop. They didn't perform anywhere near where they were supposed to but AMD still charged like they did. There's should NEVER be a time when Nvidia's $550 4070 beats a $950 xtx, but it does in some scenarios, and sometimes even _LAST_ gen cards. That's unacceptable on a thousand dollar flagship, and looks like Arc launch drivers when AMD falls flat on their face. The only thing that makes it better is Nvidia is even more overpriced, but at least with Nvidia there's no compromises. THAT'S why Radeon will never outsell RTX. Most people aren't mouth breathing fanboys. Even Nvidia users hate Nvidia. But once you hold your nose and pay the Nvidia tax you simply have a superior experience for the next several years, while you have to put up with worse and worse performance with AMD as more and more games utilize RT. That's not fine wine, that's rotten grape juice.
The XTX shouldn't be a penny over $800.

@@lifemocker85 Found the AMD fanboy drowning in copium. Not even your Lisa Su body pillow can produce competent raytracing can it?
If MSRP is something to go by, 7900XTX is pointless. No one should buy it. The VRAM difference is also irrelevant because if the GPU is simply slow, no amount of VRAM can save you. It's apparent with 4070Ti Super.
i can buy them the same price in my country a sapphire nitro xtx has 1100 as the same price as 4080 super msi triox.......4080s or 7900xtx???
4080S
I'd probably say that if you don't care too much about ray tracing and what your future electricity bills might cost then possibly go for the AMD. I noticed some instances the AMD spiking to nearly 400w of power, which is nuts.
I'd possibly buy a AMD XTX myself but that kind of power usage puts me off personally. Also, unknown how much it will use when idle when doing desktop tasks.
Even if they reduced the AMD a tad more, I still don't think I'd be interested because my purchase would be based on something I would want to use for years to come.
It seems the average wattage in games for the AMD appears to be around the 350w mark, whilst the Nvidia, in most titles, the wattage is generally less or has big dips in comparison. But, each to their own I guess.
Only average consumption matters in the power bill. Yes XTX still consumes a bit more, but the difference is trivial in terms of money saved on the electricity.
Literally Pennies on the dollar . It really isn’t that big of a deal . It’s .13 cents a kw where I’m from in the USA . I charge my car everyday and it’s only 10 $ more on my electricity bill
I can get the 4090 to suck over 600W :)
You can control its consumption
Lol I just bought a 4080 super for 1049 and a motherboard and ddr5 ram for about $120 more than I paid for just my normal 4080. So I'm super happy. Finally get rid of this ddr4 motherboard and ram.
amd is very afraid go any lower in price due to expensive vram will cause amd market shares to drop and loss $40 billion, no wonder amd giving up and leaving highend to nvidia...the vram is problematic to maintain fair pricing when amd overesitmated and over shoot on both foot ...24gb and price , it complicated a whole lot for amd when difference in performance is only 5% between 16gb 4080 vs 24gb 7900xtx...nvidia is closing gap much closer than before , even 4080 super embarrassed amd halo product with better lows fps,. Its not cheap to do 384bit 24gb vram...when amd could done 256bit 16gb would been cheaper for amd users
Got a 7900xtx for 650$ new on amazon but theyre gone at that price now
The cheapest 4080S is 1199,- where i’m at while the 7900XTX is 950,-
For me its still a no brainer seeing the prices.
Here, the RX 7900 XTX graphics card is approximately between $ 1150 and $ 1200. The RTX 4080 Super graphics card is approximately between $ 1300 and $ 1500. If it didn't have 16Gb Vram, I would definitely prefer 4080 Super, but unfortunately 16Gb Vram is insufficient for me, it should have at least 20Gb Vram. If Nvidia doesn't fix itself on VRAM, I'll continue to be on the red team, Or if Intel releases a high-end graphics card that competes with both Nvidia and AMD, my preference will be for Intel. They had a very good success with the A770 and A750 graphics cards, especially the A750 was very good. It would be really great if they release a graphics card that competes with the RTX 4080 Super and RX 7900 XTX. Currently Intel XeSS is better than FSR and the same as DLSS.

XTX is leading in some games, because it also draws 15-25% more power. Right now XTX is not good value. at 899$ will be far more competitive, because you get a tiny bit more raster performance (in some games) and more VRAM, but the feature set is lacking.
