What Have You Done Today - (Computer Version)

Swapped out the 16GB RAM kit for 32GB. I feel like the rest of my system is bottlenecking my CPU, so I want to take advantage of it's power while it's still reasonably good

Now all I need is a new GPU - thinking the replacement for the RX 7900 XT will be a suitable candidate.

You have quite a few options, honestly.

• 7900XT
• Used 6900/6950 XT
• 4070 Ti
• 4070 Super
• Used 3080/3080 Ti
• 7800XT (basically a 6900XT)

The RX 7900 GRE and XT were at the top of my list, but we only have lower-end AIB's still in stock - and I want something at least as edgy looking as my Red Devil Vega 64

The RX 7900 GRE

How'd I forget about the GRE!?

Hm. Are you opposed to using eBay? You can probably find a Red Devil there if none are available elsewhere.

Powercolor made an RD for the 7800 as well, if push comes to shove.

I've been keeping an eye on eBay, though it seems to be slim pickings in my region, unfortunately.

I know future-proofing is a (mostly) pointless endeavour when it comes to PC parts, but I'm thinking an X900 series card might be my best bet: my main monitor is still 1080P/144Hz (will upgrade to 1440P eventually), though my sim-racing monitor is 1440/165Hz - and I'm expecting the worst for Assetto Corsa: Evo's optimisation at launch

Fair enough.

If it launches next month, RDNA 4/8800 XT is rumored to have RT performance on par with the 4080S and raw performance that's better than the 7900 XT. It may be worth waiting to see what happens after that's announced at CES next month (hopefully).

Though with PCs, the waiting game is incredibly fickle and almost pointless, so...
