IMO there’s zero reason to buy an nvidia gpu if there’s a similarly performing amd card because the price will just be better.
Amd promised a msrp of 600 for the 9070xt, it rarely goes below 750. All amd had to do was stick to their prices and have ample stock. Amd is satisfied with second place
It fells between 5070 Ti and 5080 while still being cheaper than 5070 Ti.
5070 ti has come down to its normal price. You can find listings for $750. 9070 xt is better in some games than the 5070 ti in terms of raw raster. When it comes to upscaling, efficiency,and ray tracing. The 5070 ti is better.
In my market the 5070 Ti is still 100-200 USD more expensive than 9070 XT.
I love my high end 1440p165hz IPs G-Sync monitor.
What does that have to do with anything? Pretty much all monitors also support FreeSync which works just as well.
I have a g-sync monitor. It supports g-sync. It is very nice, but unfortunately it does NOT support freesync.
From what I can find, even though a lot of FreeSync monitors support at least partially G-Sync, the opposite seems rather rare, since G-Sync is fully proprietary and hardware-based. I've found a couple more modern monitors that officially support both but they seem to be the exception rather than the norm.
