I have the founder rx 7900xt that I bought on launch and I get nothing but crashes when I boot a game.(dealing with one now) funny how I stumble on this deal to make me realize this is the last time I'm buying an AMD GPU... The 5700 xt was shit and 7900 xt is shit ... Not giving them a third chance. I can't afford it and they don't deserve it.
Don't make the mistake in thinking they will fix their drivers soon, the shit should have been finished before release.
I don't see open box at best buy. Can you please share the link?
Please use following link to search open box. The stock depends on where you lives, you can check regularly. Now I can see GIGABYTE - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Aero for $1,039 and GIGABYTE - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Gaming OC for $1015 and GIGABYTE - Radeon RX 7900XTX GAMING OC for $879 in my area. Others such as RTX 4090 at $1359 but not available in my area.
Just a reminder, do not buy Nvidia RTX3000 series card and AMD RX6000 series card in open box condition, only buy the new RTX4000 series such as RTX4090, 4080 and 4070Ti. 7900XTX reference card may have temperature issues in open box, so better avoid it, non reference card has no problem.
It looks like Newegg lowered the price even lower now (down to the MSRP of $1k)

I question why anyone who's going to drop $1k+ for a GPU wouldn't just go for the 4080 instead and get many more features.
Some people probably just dont wanna support Nvidia, ive had Nvidia cards since the 90's and they used to be a fair price/performance for what your paying but lately it seems that Nvidia's CEO has gotten really money hungry after the crypto mining boom money dried up (maybe the guy wants to start a new leather jacket collection). The extra features that you speak of like Ray Tracing are really just a gimmick because if you enable ray tracing is slows down performance dramatically and there arent that many games that support that feature yet.

I have this same question when I try to decide what card I want to buy. I think I'm leaning towards the 4080. Nvidia's gaming features are much better and the RTX 4080 is vastly better at professional and deep learning workloads too.

I always appreciate the open box discussion but as a guy who lives in a mid size city about a million people with 2 best buys, we never have any decent open box items available. I think this makes a lot more sense for really big cities.
Bought this one from BBY early January, for $1080. Looks like it costs me $1 per day... lol
Anyway, it's a large card, and my experience is, well, mixed.
Red Dragon 5700XT -- no audio output when using HDMI (a well known "traditional" problem for AMD)
XFX 6900XT -- good looking, good performance, never had any problem
XFX 7900XTX -- not as good looking as the 6900XT, also a little hotter. Bottom line is, it works well.
However, lately I had problem for my PC (5900X + 7900XTX) to post, and it (5900X + 6900XT) worked flawlessly before. I'm just telling myself: this is so AMD...

If you choose to have a worse experience because you like one faceless corporation over another, it's just cutting your own nose off to spite your face. Neither AMD nor Nvidia know you exist. If you had some sudden huge medical expense, neither company would show up and help you pay for your treatment. To like a corporation to the point where you are willing to reduce your own quality of life to support it is lunacy.

What your saying doesnt make any sense when you consider that a 7900 XTX is still like $650-$800 cheaper than an RTX 4090 for only about 22% less performance

id understand your point if I was paying more money for less performance because of a brand name but in this case its the reverse situation.
