Did you read my previous response?
“That's not to say the CPU is irrelevant when running high resolutions. You want to ensure your CPU isn't bottlenecking your GPU. Generally, if you have a super...

That used to be the case, but the 4090 can push so many frames at high resolution, and the complexity of game physics has gotten so deep, CPU bottlenecking is much more prevalent than it used to be...

I wouldn’t worry too much about the CPU, just don’t pair a 4090/7900XTX with an i3 and you’ll be alright.

I see, that's good to know.
Is looking at recommended/minimum requirements for a game and seeing how many core processors they require and recommend a good way to judge this, as well? Some games...

Strategy games (like an RTS) tend to be CPU-bound, especially for large and/or custom maps where there are a ton of units on the battlefield.
The higher the resolution, the more GPU-bound you are...

Without actually playing the game, how would one know if a game is CPU or GPU-intensive? I play a variety of games from DOTA to Halo Infinite and I've read that CPU is for frame rate and GPU is for...

Call me old fashioned, but anything north of $600 is too expensive, period. I can’t believe how out of control GPU prices have gotten in recent years.

This card was just on sale for 1,099, plus 100 off with a promo code on the 29th to drop it down to 1,000.
If that deal comes back this would maybe be worth it, right now its too expensive

I have a 7950x and another build with a 7900x. I'm happy with the 7950x since there's no non-X equivalent. That said, as far as the 7900x,if the non-X were available I would have taken that over...

I am using this card, the reason I bought it instead of other cheaper one, is because I want to avoid coil whine as much as possible, I believe paying $150 more is for something other than just RGB

Yeah I personally love paying $150 more for a maybe 1% increase in performance.

You're gaining about ~6fps. So let's round up to an extra 10fps for $150 more vs stock.
But......RGB. Very wow.

Better binned card with better cooling, better shroud, better aesthetics for $150 more. NITRO cards are Sapphire's premium line. You'll get lower temps because of the vapor chamber and the boost...

For an all out no comprise sure. But which one would you choose? Keep in mind if you opt for the 7700X add a cooler.

I agree but if you're building out one of those fancy pc's with custom cooling and lighting...this card might be worth it. It looks really good.

Pulse, Phantom Gaming or the Merc are $999. I don't think this is worth the extra dough.
