Idk man I’m rocking a 9070 and 9800x3d running bazzite and this thing smokes. For $1150 combined for the pair it was a no brainer. I’m pulling down 90fps on expedition 33 maxed out settings

Yeah it will occasionally get tripped up on Ray tracing, But I just lower the settings a bit on those games and I’m still cooking at 55+. This is on a 3440x1440 monitor mind you.

I just can’t see justifying the Nvidia tax unless you have so much disposable income it simply doesn’t matter to you. I’d rather have a pretty damn good sports car without nitrous rather than pay 3x for one with it. I built a PC for $1750USD that absolutely rips

Yeah I have a 3080ti, If I had an older card I would 100% be buying AMD right now though.
