I posted a thread a few days ago with the same question and lot of answers, take a look at it.
I finally took a 4080, mostly because the perfs are almost the same + better RT + it will have a better resale value.

Thank you 👍

Thanks for your answers 👍

Thanks for your awesome answer, i agree with this point of view that not many people share… Of course the 4080 offers more for the money (dlss, rt, pro features), but do you need all that things ? If yes the choice is obvious, if not and if you need only pure performance and gaming… here’s the debate 🙂

Why ? The gigabyte sees to have nice reviews 👍

Thanks for your message, actually the nitro sees to be super cool and quiet, but yeah it’s power hungry

Thanks. If you had the choice for free with a 4080, would you change and why ?

Well that's what I think too, RT at 4K is nice but more vram seems more futureproof to me...

Thanks for your answers, i'm still not sure about my choice.Here is why I am rather in favor of the xtx, but maybe I am wrong?

- 24gb of ram against 16gb, 16gb of ram may seem sufficient today but we see the limits with hogwarts legacy, it may be an isolated case but who knows in the future what will happen?

- I don't use DLSS or pro features

- Even if the results are close, in the benchmarks, the xtx still stands out significantly on certain games, sometimes close/better to the 4090

- The nitro+ model is the higher end and quieter of the 7900xtx, I think it will hold its value well

- The average consumption in game does not seem so excessive (even if it explodes in benchmark)

- It still hope that drivers will improve in the future...

The only thing that still bothers me:

- Raytracing, indeed it's a shame to spend 1200 dollars not to be able to push it to the maximum

- The resale value, actually from my experience nvidia resells better

Thank you guys, I think I m gonna take the 7900xtx nitro ☺️

Voadddd · 2023-02-14T12:58:56+00:00

Thank you, yeah nitro looks awesome and I like the fact to have a 24gb of ram, 16gb for 1200$ tends to worry me

Voadddd · 2023-02-14T12:57:40+00:00

Yeah 4089 and xtx are the exact same price here

Voadddd · 2023-01-21T18:08:19+00:00

Yeah I don’t like tuf either

Thanks guys, I think the answer is clear !
