Every one who bought the 7900xtx laughing their arse off running 20GiB models with MUCH better performance than a 4080/4080Super lol
I bought my 7900XTX for $800, and have kept absolutely quiet about it.
Anyone who has asked me: "AMD sucks, CUDA better, buy NVDA stock".
The invisible hand of the market is made of invisible delicious meat
also of invisible morons
I’m an idiot that waited. Saw a sapphire nitro 7900xtx on sale for €900 but didn’t get it holding out for the 5800. Now those are €1400 if you can find one and the 7900xtx is out of stock.
Have a 3080ti though so I’m not too bad off, just annoyed.
Don't feel bad, neither AMD or NVIDIA (or Intel for that matter) have produced anything worthy of note in the GPU space since the 1080Ti or 6800XT. Keep your 3080ti, it'll serve you well for now. Hopefully Morethreads or Intel make something interesting and disrupt the market although it's unlikely. NV and AMD have the GPU spaced fairly locked with IP (and cash reserves) that would drown any competitor in legalese for a millennium. The 7900xtx is a helluva card because it competes with overpriced NVIDIA hw, in any sane world it would be a 7800 class card and priced accordingly. (like the 5080 is actually a 5070)
