I was running a 3080 10gb and was hitting performance issues 1440p on graphical intensive games specifically Cyberpunk. Vram usage was maxing out. 10gb of vram nowadays is not enough.

I was considering grabbing a 9070xt when it first came out. But due to stock/availability, I ended up picking up a 7900xtx on sale and I’m glad I did. 24gb of vram is awesome. It’s so nice to have the open source AMD drivers baked into Linux - no need to download the Nvidia drivers separately.

I don’t miss dlss, not a huge fan of fake frames anyways. The 7900xtx is powerful enough that I don’t really need fsr on most games. Cyberpunk was the only game I had to use FSR Native AA with frame gen which ran at 100fps and looked great. I was reaching 21gb of vram in Cyberpunk with a bunch of mods

The 9070xt is definitely worth it if you are currently maxing out your vram. The 7900xtx performs about the same with the 9070xt having a bit better raytracing.
