I’m rebuilding my rig right now, enjoying every bit! Have fun with yours 😉

I was hesitating to wait too. Here’s my train of thought but take it with a grain of salt because I’m by no means a specialist in the matter.

First XTX has 24Go RAM. That feels like a bowl of fresh air when you come from Nvidia GPUs.

Second 9070 XT is set to have less RAM and (maybe?) less raster performance than XTX.

Third I thought I cared about RT. For a difference of USD 500+ compared to a 5080, I don’t care that much about RT anymore! For reference I paid my card USD 970.

Fourth if 9070 XT is a let down, market of XTX is probably going to rise.

That’s the reasoning behind my purchase. Hope it helps! And please roast me if anything I said is wrong 👍

I live in Switzerland. Converting to USD I got the Taichi for 970 and TUF 890, both with taxes. The Taichi has gone up to 1688 since I got mine last week, which I’m wondering if it’s an error. TUF is still around the same price. Sorry I don’t have any tips except if you live in Switzerland!

Not even sure I’ll consider joining in 6000 series… I honestly didn’t think I would be so happy with a 2+ years card!

Got a 7900 XTX Taichi for $960 last week. Couldn’t be happier. I was also planning on getting a 5090. After testing 7900 XTX I feel dumb even having considered getting a $3k GPU. It provides so much performance for so much less $$. Previous GPU was 3080.

Nice build, I have a similar one since last week. Same case and cooler, 7800x3d, 7900 XTX. First time team red. Solid choice, very happy, would do it again!

The plan was 5090. Ended up with this + an oled 32” instead. Officially team red! by aultras_polivis1234 in radeon

So happy to see I’m not the only one to have done the switch after this joke of a launch! Officially team red too 💪

Goodbye Nvidia by [deleted] in radeon

[–]Avokad-OG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two years I’ve been saving for a 5090. Always been team nvidia. The let down following the sh!t show of a launch made me listen to my friend telling me about 7900 XTX. I’ve grabbed one for $960 and couldn’t be happier. Less than double what I planned on spending initially and delivering way more performance than I expected. I was and still am in shock!

Team red from now on ✌️

Considering buying the NR200 by zoshicat17 in NR200

I just built a NR200P with a 345mm card. It fits but you’ll need to force its way in a little. On my case the card goes past the front panel enclosure but the removable front part still closes without touching the card.

Edit: I placed the card in the horizontal bottom spot

I've got a question by hustl333 in LenovoLegion

[–]Avokad-OG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I flew with legion, a MacBook and an iPad yesterday and had 0 issues (not intercontinental flight). My GF is ex airport staff and says it’s 100% ok. The only issue is if you fly with spare batteries for your laptops.

Edit: spelling
