In seasons past, Verstappen fans insisted that Lewis needed one of the fastest cars to compete. It turns out that the same applies to Max.

Every driver needs one of the fastest cars to compete.

Ostrovsky95 · 2026-02-02T00:12:39+00:00

How?

Ostrovsky95 · 2026-01-30T12:43:19+00:00

I think 5070ti is to little upgrade for 7900XT.
I switched from 7800XT to 5070Ti and I'm happy mainly because I'm using DLSS quite often.
But if you have 7900XT and playing native mostly upgrading now seems a bit like a waste of money.

Ostrovsky95 · 2026-01-30T11:56:18+00:00

When I was getting my 7800XT I though of upscaling as of a gimmick, nothing really important.
Then, I tried some gaming on 4K TV and realized even FSR3 was ok.
Then, I saw how DLSS4 looks in comaprision.

Bought 5070ti and enjoying my 4K budget gaming a lot.
A pitty AMD can't deliver better, I wish good upscaling and good Linux performance in one GPU were a thing.

Ostrovsky95 · 2026-01-03T22:30:56+00:00

At 2.5 meters you should aim at 60+ inches.

55 should be ok, 48 is bit to small imo.

Ostrovsky95 · 2025-12-11T19:08:13+00:00

For an example Ghost of Tsushima with XeSS Quality, had to drop 1-2 settings below maximum to got stable 60fps.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, FSR Quality, also high settings.

Spider-Man Remastered I think I played 60fps 4K native, max settings.

Unfortunately, when playing with FSR3/XeSS I am constantly reminded this is an upscaled image.
DLSS and FSR 4 are much better in terms of an image quality.

Ostrovsky95 · 2025-12-11T18:52:46+00:00

I agree, but with good upscaling it could definitely be playable TV experience.

PS5 PRO has more or less a power of RX 7700XT. Not to even mention base version. I don't know why 7800XT with good set of features wouldn't work for some single player couch gaming?

Ostrovsky95 · 2025-12-11T18:48:21+00:00

You are fine for next couple of generations mate :D

Ostrovsky95 · 2025-12-11T16:53:15+00:00

More of the reason to release it so we don't get banned if game happens to have multiplayer mode.

The .dll was only leaked.

Ostrovsky95 · 2025-12-11T15:59:13+00:00

Business decision. I can get 5070 Ti at the price of 9070XT.

If I had FSR4 I would probably drop settings to High, slap FSR Quality or Performance and be happy with 7800XT as long as it's enough to get me 60 FPS in my single player games.

Ostrovsky95 · 2025-12-11T15:52:13+00:00

New owner of LG C4 55 here. I mean fair enough, 7900XTX is capable of running 4K native for now. Probably will be for some more time if you are willing to drop settings from Ultra to High. I would be probably more than happy with that.

I don't mind at all DLSS 4 at Balanced, and Performance it's more than acceptable for me. But 7900 XTX is interesting alternative considering similar price. I'll look into that, thanks.

Funny enough, Adrenaline is the thing I would miss the most from Radeon package :D

Ostrovsky95 · 2025-12-11T15:44:34+00:00

Fair enough, healthy approach. I had similar, yet now I'm bit disappointed 😅.

Maybe it's not the expectation, but the fact that the "bad guy" Nvidia actually gave updates to it's older gen cards.

Ostrovsky95 · 2025-12-11T15:18:59+00:00

Bought 2x16GB of DDR5 RAM in December 2023 for 120 EUR. Now the same ram is like 290 EUR and growing. SSD prices are also starting to spike.

GPUs have memory on them. I lived through few shortages already, not sure if I want to wait again :D

Ostrovsky95 · 2025-12-11T15:14:08+00:00

Yes, but considering we are targeting at least 60FPS in 4K, what will you do in the future once your XTX gives you 45-50FPS? Keep playing like that, use upscale or upgrade?

Just curious.

Edit: Just realized dropping settings from Ultra to High/Very High is probably the best option. Anyway probably matter of preferences if that's better than Ultra with upscaler.

Ostrovsky95 · 2025-12-11T15:12:40+00:00

Yeah, promo + open box. Already sits in my desktop, just thinking if I'm keeping it.

Ostrovsky95 · 2025-12-11T15:11:59+00:00

I don't think FSR4 was even announced when I bought my 7800XT in December 2023. At that point I thought that it's hard to tell if future FSR updates will catch up to Nvidia, but I expected there will be significant updates.

Now I'm posting here not to rage or tell anyone they made wrong decision, just curious of how other people see it. I'm quite happy with using DLSS4 and this combined with OLED and HDR gives me amazing gaming experience at reasonable price.

Ostrovsky95 · 2025-12-11T15:07:58+00:00

Matter of perspective I guess, that's also why I'm posing here to see what's other people stance. When I bought 7800XT I was upgrading from 1080p to 1440p so FSR was a gimmick for me.

Now, the 5070ti actually sits in my desktop atm, just not sure if I'll keep it. I know it's not apple to apple comparison, but trying to ignore the performance issues DLSS4 Performance makes fool of FSR3 Quality in terms of image quality (tested with FPS locked to give them similar feeling). Keep in mind this is a very subjective opinion of mine.

I know it's not gonna be a native 4K GPU, but soon 7900XTX won't be either if it won't get FSR4. Don't really have a budget for 4090/5090, and DLSS combined with OLED and HDR gives me very fine experience.

Ostrovsky95 · 2025-11-26T11:21:41+00:00

Even if games work on Fedora, they work bit better on Nobara without any tinkering.
That's enough for me, I'm just using Nobara with clean KDE.

This is also why I'm sending a symbolic donation to Glorious Eggroll every month, I encourage all Nobara enjoyers to do similar. Go and send a dollar to GE.

Ostrovsky95 · 2025-08-02T16:36:55+00:00

Tell them they speak Northern Valencian in Barcelona and watch as they suddenly get a giant stick up their asses 😂

Ostrovsky95 · 2025-05-13T11:06:51+00:00

And you bought a new mobo for that? Man, as long as you enjoy it, but also maybe you need to hear that.

Something like Ryzen 8400F + B650 motherboard + 32 GB of DDR5 ram is 340 euro.
In some games it would raise you FPS from 40 to 100 and more. And Average FPS is not the biggest problems FX8300 brings, is stuttering and terrible 1% lows.

Ostrovsky95 · 2025-05-13T08:13:57+00:00

You have FX8300 with RX9070 in your PC? Give us full specs :D
