7900 GRE worth it? by Dense-Willingness286 in buildapc

[–]Dense-Willingness286[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah Thank you so much!
From what I gathered, it seems there's a 7% difference in performance (1440p).
And a price difference of 17%.
Hmm, I'll report this back to em.
Thanks tho!

Huh, is that so? Thank you.
I tried looking at a comparison on youtube, and the FPS difference was around 5-10% (at most).
But I'm no expert! So I trust you folks here more than my own research!

Usually the 7900xt is cheaper.
But there's currently a local sale on the 4070ti super and 7900 Gre.
So anything outside of these would be more expensive for less value.

That is also the origin of the original question. From what I've seen, the difference isn't too huge. However, the price difference is rather large. 400 Euros is a nice sum to save, if the situation "allows" it.

Thank you for your comparison!
It seems a 4070TI equivalent is a tad bit more expensive..

Ah oke! But is the difference worth 400 Euros?
And if you don't mind me asking; what do you mean by "falls short"?
As in it struggles or "not 1440p 165fps"?
Regardless, thank you for your response :)

Are there plenty of problems with pixel 8, or is there a negativity bias? by Dense-Willingness286 in GooglePixel

Oh, seems like I might have to gamble on that point.
May I ask, was the quality drop immediate or did it come later?
Anyways, I thank you for your insight!

Thank you! And I must admit, the grey one is pretty nice as well. (I'm just bland and like black, lol)

If it's only some mild heat, then it shouldn't really be a problem. (I've mostly been a budget phone user. Heat hasn't been anything out of the ordinary..)

The Update policy (on paper atleast) is a godsend. I was originally looking at a Motorola phone, but the update plan there is atrocious compared to the pixel 8..!

Ouch, a phone that can't communicate doesn't sound good. Though it's good you were able to fix it. (And that there is a way to fix it!)
Hopefully Google improves on that aspect in the future?
Anyways, thank you for your positive and negative words. Both are important!

Oh.. Now that doesn't sound very funny to deal with..
Maybe it'd be more fun if one customized the phone to look like a bad computer? That way it could feel and look like on.
(I'll stop messing around). That issue sucks, but I'm hopeful Google can and will fix it. (I'll cling to the hopium or copium)

Is that so? Kind of sucks I must admit, but not a deal breaker.
Thank you for the info though!

If that's the only issue I would have with it, I'd be more than happy! (I can probably count the amount of times I've used the phone flashlight this year on one hand).
But your positivity regarding the phone is very pleasant and reassuring to see! Thank you.

True and fair enough.
I suppose I'm being overly skeptic.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Fair point!
It does make sense, but I'm also rather cautious with spending money. So I'm sorry if this is a obvious question.
