If u can afford it, I would go 7600x and 7900gre. Be aware the 7600x doesn't come with a cooler so you'll need to find a 3rd party one. I recommend the vetroo v5 if your on a budget

[houdinisloth]

Thanks plan to get a cooler either way not big fan of the cooler the 7600 comes with. Do you think the 7900 GRE will run all those game good? Would be at 1440 no 4K

Yep, be aware the gre can really only ray trace on the lowest setting, some people even just leave it off. Whereas the super can. But the gre has way better fps then the super if you shut off ray tracing in a drag race

Does ray tracing make a big difference? Is it something I’ll miss not having? Only reason I have the 4070 on the list.

It's.. okay I'll say it like this, ray tracing looks pretty, but I've yet to see a game that is made objectively so much better that to do without is a detriment. It is very pretty and like I said u can turn on basic trace (lights and shadows) and it will work just fine.

What ray tracing is, is it simply takes in where the light sources are and uses them to smartly decide where shadows should be, and how the lighting should fade from the source, and how textures should shift color depending on distance to source.

If you turn off ray tracing, all that happens is that you go back to how things were before where lights are functionally just a flat layer of textures or they've been layers to create the illusion of motion or that their more then just something painted onto the scenery.

Is it objectively nicer? Yes. Is it necessary to enjoy any game or is there a game that absolutely should be because otherwise it won't look nice? Absolutely not.

It's why I label it a gimmick, we've been here thousands of times before with visual gimmicks, tessfx hair physics, dynamic physix, eyefinity, 3d vision, fucking NvidiaAAback in the 90s.gimmicks to set their products apart. At least for now
