>The smart move is to wait a couple months and see if AMD can fix the bigger issues with these cards through drivers and only buy one of these if they do. That's pretty much it. The assumptions/rumors/leaks and such right now[0] point to underwhelming release drivers. Like they aren't taking advantage of the hardware, or have clutches in place until they can get higher utilization of the hardware to be stable. By CES, there'll surely be announcements of other RDNA3 cards. By the time these get reviewed, drivers should be closer to where they should be, and informed decisions much easier to make. Right now, the 20% higher priced 4080 gets you 17% better RT, while raster suffers -8%. Therefore 7900XTX is better value, just not by as much as everybody hoped. This might or might not change with newer drivers. I do not recommend buying any AMD RDNA3 nor 4000-series NVIDIA right now. Waiting to see what happens once lower-end cards enter the market is my advice. 0. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=351H7F0QoKE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=351H7F0QoKE
