I hope it's right because I plan on upgrading to Zen 5 but I really can't see it.

Just ordered a couple of door speakers because one is rattly and driving me mad. Hope to fit them on Monday or Tuesday.

I am 39 and pretty sure when I get there, the state pension will be a thing of the past anyway.

Has to be one of the 9800Pro, 4870, 1080Ti or 8800GTX.

Onboard is much better than it used to be too. Obviously still not fantastic for high end gaming but suitable for plenty of people.

1080Ti wasn't "value" priced but I got a lot out of it for the money. 6 1/2 years of maxed out/high quality gaming for £630 was well worth it.

I did the same but paid £830 for a 7900XTX. That was last September and well worth it.

I like ray tracing and believe it's the future for sure, but I am still not sold on having to use upscaling technologies and other workarounds to make it work at decent frame rates. It still has some time to go.

This is the problem. It isn't that live service games are inherently bad, it's that they aren't willing to put the effort and money into making it a good one, then blaming everyone else when their low effort fails. They see it as easy money, then complain when it isn't.

While I agree with everything you said, I am unsure if Jensen's ego would allow him to step aside and give anyone else a win.

Competition is a good thing, not sure why people complain about it. I look forward to seeing what all 3 competitors can bring this year.

Rumour and all, but it would be a big win for AMD to lock out the console market. It would maybe even help them push their technologies harder into games and game engines.

Personally I lower settings. Resolution set to native always looks better than stretching a resolution in my opinion. Even lowering from say, 4k to 1440p means pixels are being stretched and not quite right. The only way to get around that is go all the way down to 1080p (or 720p from 1440p)...

Fair, I never put much time into Starfield.

Can I ask how often you needed to use FSR with the XTX? I have literally never used it with mine, at all. The card has more than enough legs to not need it.

Relatively speaking, compared to the competition they are competitive in most areas. I was lucky and got my 7900XTX for £840 (£800 after selling Starfield) which easily made it the best choice for me.

That's fair, but my point is more that there is choice and AMD are not that far behind/not behind in raw performance and cost. Not nearly as bad as some people seem to comment.

Interface yes, I noticed that when I changed too. The software offerings like Reflex, DLDSR, DLSS and such are overall better than AMD's offerings though.

I mean for raster the 7900XTX is cheaper than the 4080 and has been for a year and yet a few percent faster, while offering slightly better than 3090 RT performance. Yes the RT performance is worse than Nvidia but is it really as horrible as you make it sound? Nvidia have the better software...

100%, I was thinking purely for business reasons. Increasing market share and mindshare. Start winning people over by making Nvidia look bad, greedy. Seems they're happy where they are though.
