If you're looking for a fight, go elsewhere. I don't work SD or for you, and what I do with my free time is none of your business.

And, like I said, for me, this Amazon deal is better than the other Newegg, eBay, Walmart, etc. deals because I get 5% cash back. Some might find this useful. And those who don't won't. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

Have a relaxing rest of the week!

Don't like it? Don't buy it. /s

Posted it for those who care or would benefit. For instance, this is the smallest AIB variant, for those with small cases. Plus, if you have the Prime credit card, you get 5% cash back on Amazon. That almost covers sales tax and saves one ~$37.

There are too many nvidia sheeps, they would buy an inferior product for a higher price as long as it has an nvidia logo on it. Truth is, they just want AMD to lower the prices so they can hope to get nvidia for cheaper.

At the moment it makes more sense to get a less powerful nvidia card, but in the future it will maybe make less sense.

It's just nvidia keeps coming up with new ways to increase performance. 2xxx series it was dlss and rt. 3xxx serit. It was fast dlss tech with better visuals and faster rt. 4xxx it was framegen and then a year later is ray reconstruction that sped up rt by reusing data from previous frames rt and increased quality of rt to almost raster levels. Especially when combined with frame gen it can use all that past rt data now since the rt data is held in the pipeline for those frames. They never let amd catch up in tech ... yet.

But atleast fsr3 is looking real good, amd framegen is almost getting there in quality and hopefully they got some ray reconstruction tech on the way. And maybe we'll see that tech in consoles too.

Either way unless you're getting it free or on a very limited budget. Or a discount from a hand me down or a trade of some sort.... it just doesn't make sense to get amd gpu if nvidia gpu is an option. Like most handheld are amd only and spank the intel handheld in graphics thanks to fsr3 and their frame gen tech.

I'm hoping amd framegen tech does get equivalent ray reconstruction features. Even if nvidia comes out with something new atleast it keeps them both on their toes and competition high.

I'd say without the tech, the equivalent amd card value is at 2/3rds price of the nvidia in terms of raster only because knowing of the advantages the nvidia card has outside of raster with their framegen and ray recon that it's way more than 1/3rd difference it's more than 3x - 4x framerate difference when those 2 are used in games that have it.

So I'm very very modest saying 2/3rds price for amd Nvidia equivalent.

Exactly how many posts of the same item at the same price do you need to be seeing before you recognize that yet another duplicate post of the same deal is not adding value?
I appreciated the OGs deal post.

It's better to have multiple people listing various places they can buy an item than nobody listing any items.

It's annoying to me that people complain about others taking the time to list a solid deal for others to potentially take advantage of.

If it isn't for you, move on.

This is a false notion that the gap is that huge. If Nvidia was that untouchable the SUPER series would not have been released. Ever since the 40-series launched, with the exception of the 4090, no amount of marketing could save Nvidia's poor segmentation below the 4090. AMD pretty much capitalized in the midrange as demonstrated with the 7800XT. The 7900XTX sold better than the 4080. Nvidia's got too many fanboys… BTW I have a 4090 so it's not like I'm on team RED, just keeping it real.

Helldivers 2 crashes right now on this gpu. Got this a while back with startfield and it's a great gpu, just disappointed helldivers is overworking my cpu because I have a 7000 series gpu. It's a game engine issue not a gpu issue before you ignorant Nvidia shills start jumping all over AMD for driver issues, it's the developer not AMD. Arrowhead has a note on their page about it.

I should have clarified that those figures are for gamers, but I expect the gap is bigger if anything when you factor in video and AI since Nvidia tends to lead in those.

Oh, and the data is literally from scanning people's computers (Steam hardware survey) so it's not a "false notion" lol.

Perhaps, but RTG has always had seriously flawed designs. I remember when I bought the R9 290, that thing was fast, the fastest even, but by god it was loud as a banshee and hotter than the surface of the sun. Not to mention Catalyst was complete garbage in drivers. Now, they have (more or less) solved the thermal design concerns; their drivers are as good as GeForce, and the interface far superior. They are poised to dominate, it's just a mindset thing. I fully believe they can do it, especially now with Nvidia seriously pissing people off with their ridiculous MSRP.
also one of the main third party vendors EVGA pulled out because of Nvidia's absurd prices. If one or two others follow, Nvidia will be left to do a lot more of their own marketing instead of counting on vendors like PNY , Zotac and so on.
im still on a 2080Ti , Thank God, this card has treated me very well. 1080p IPS, more than happy.

It really isn't just marketing. I always used to buy AMD GPUs. I am building a new gaming rig and had to decide between the 4080 Super and the 7900 XTX. My decision came down to which GPU gave me the most value for my money now and which GPU would likely be a better value in 3 years. Raw performance isn't going to be as valuable in 3 years as DLSS and frame gen, especially when it's only a few percent difference. Neither is 24GB VRAM. It's nice to have, but I doubt it will actually be useful.

AMD needs to get their features (FSR, FMF) working at a level that is competitive to NVIDIA. Undercutting with price just isn't enough anymore, even for people who normally would buy AMD.

On the other hand, it's bold to assume you'll get all the new DLSS features on your current card. And DLSS isn't supported in every game where you can at least get away with FSR 1.0 on a driver level for AMD (yes, it's not as good, but it seems to be better than what Nvidia did to NIS in recent drivers). For a no-frills, great raster performance card, AMD is competitive. If you know you'll branch into other workloads for the card, then Nvidia starts to make some sense.

You are the proof that it IS the marketing.

- FSR is almost completely caught up to DLSS, so in 3 years we'd expect it to be as good or better
- AMD's frame gen actually gives a greater increase than Nvidia's. Side note, frame gen isn't very useful because it doesn't work at low framerates (when you actually need the frames) and adds latency so it's not good for competitive gaming (main use case for very high frame rates). So the use case is very narrow.

Nvidia manages to convince people like you that its features are superior, thus outselling AMD cards regardless of value.

No, I'm not expecting to have access to whatever NVIDIA releases in three years. What I am saying is, even if you're just talking about the current DLSS available to the 40-Series, it will still be more useful in the future than a minor bump in raster performance. It doesn't have to be the latest implementation. If you look at recent games (Alan Wake 2, for example), developers have still implemented older technologies that are useful to older RTX cards (DLAA, for example). I have no doubt that developers will continue to implement those technologies that are used by older cards because it's in their and NVIDIA's best interest to do so.

No, FSR (and FMF) have not "almost completely" caught up to DLSS. And I wasn't swayed by "marketing". Due to the fact that I was about to spend $1000 on a GPU, I spent quite a lot of time watching detailed reviews and comparison of the offerings from AMD and NVIDIA. Not a single review suggested anything other than AMD's offerings fall down when you consider things like visual acuity and latency. Yes, it can generate fps increases, but that's not the end of the story.

I have no doubt that AMD will eventually catch up to NVIDIA in terms of features, but I don't feel like paying $1000 to play catch up.

Price wise, it slots about right between the 4070s ($600 msrp) and 4070tis ($800 msrp). I'd take it hands down over a 4070s, and it beats the tis in pure raster too (ie fps on most games), but DLSS and RT make the tis compelling. Given the choice between the 7900xt and 4070tis without concern for cost, I'd have to think a lot about my choice.

Ditto. Appreciate the time and effort that OP spent on the entry to help out others who are looking for a good deal. I bought the 7900xt for $722 as an open box special from Microcenter. No coil whine since I paired my system with a Corsair 1000w power supply.

That is so true. EVGA saw the light and got out under Nvidia's insufferable rule.

Not a deal, same price as prime day 4-5 months ago. Give it a few more weeks and I think 670 is possible.

This card also had coil whine for me so I returned it.
power supply too small
