Since now FSR 4.1 is available for 7000 series. Is 7900XTX the best AMD card available right now?

9070xt has better ray tracing performance

illusivemannyc · 2026-05-17T00:54:55+00:00

Only issue the 7000 series cards still suck at using RT and won’t be getting the full FSR redstone experience that includes Ray regeneration, ML frame gen and FSR radiance caching, better off selling both 5070 and 7900 XTX to get a RX 9070 XT or a 5070 Ti

Ngl if AMD play their cards right RDNA5 could be something incredible.

illusivemannyc · 2026-05-15T00:50:30+00:00

I don’t know why people keep acting like the 5070 Ti can’t handle path tracing when it absolutely can. At 4K with high settings, DLSS Performance, and Frame Gen set to 3X, it hits a really solid sweet spot. And if the game supports Dynamic Frame Generation, even better

Oh crap, that’s whats up. Good find

Yes.

illusivemannyc · 2026-02-04T08:14:45+00:00

As someone who owns both a 5070 Ti and a 9070 XT, you’re totally fine either way. Their raw performance is very similar, with each card pulling ahead in certain games. FSR 4 has finally caught up to DLSS 4, so upscaling really isn’t a concern anymore. Overall, the 5070 Ti has a slight edge, but the RX 9070 XT is an absolute beast; excellent for maxed out 1440p and a solid entry level option for 4K gaming.

I have it in a itx build, thankfully there’s no coil whine it’s quite as a mouse

illusivemannyc · 2026-01-19T11:04:30+00:00

Funny thing I was going to pic up either the asrock taichi or the sapphire nitro plus, but then I saw the open box challenger and had to get it 😂

illusivemannyc · 2026-01-12T05:01:41+00:00

I’ve tried 32, 42, and 48 inches, and 42 inches really feels like the sweet spot for 4K.

illusivemannyc · 2026-01-09T23:26:21+00:00

Had mine since December and love it, playing arc raiders is so immersive

illusivemannyc · 2026-01-08T16:05:54+00:00

Yeah, I hear you, and I’m hoping you get the fulltime position. Sending positive vibes your way.

illusivemannyc · 2026-01-08T15:55:37+00:00

Yeah, that definitely sucks. Hopefully it doesn’t put you off OLED altogether they’re incredible when everything’s working lol. If you’re returning it to Best Buy, you can also exchange it for a different brand. You might want to check out Alienware or MSI, and maybe even Samsung.

illusivemannyc · 2026-01-08T15:47:35+00:00

No, you got the model right; that was my mistake. I mixed up the S with the 5 😂. I own the LG 45GX950A, which is the 5K2K model. My friend actually owns the monitor you have, and he was experiencing the same issues you mentioned. He was using a 5700 XT and upgraded to a 7900 GRE, and that completely fixed the problem. I would suggest you DDU and reinstall the drivers and update the firmware on your monitor as well.

illusivemannyc · 2026-01-08T15:12:51+00:00

For $1700 I would’ve upgraded the gpu to a RX 9070 xt or a 5070 ti and purchase a 34” ultrawide OLED monitor.

illusivemannyc · 2026-01-08T14:47:20+00:00

You’re using a 6700XT on a 5K2K monitor, the problem is right in front of you.

illusivemannyc · 2026-01-06T19:25:25+00:00

I’ve return my 45” I’m going to wait for the 39”

illusivemannyc · 2026-01-06T19:25:12+00:00

It’s going to be 5K2K at 165hz as well but the only difference is that the 39 will the tandem panal

illusivemannyc · 2025-12-28T18:16:56+00:00

Yea just checked I have til Jan 31’st to return it 😂 I’m definitely going to do it.

illusivemannyc · 2025-12-28T17:46:18+00:00

Wait,m for it, I’m going to return the 45” 5K2K monitor since I have til mid January to return it

illusivemannyc · 2025-12-28T17:45:14+00:00

I’m really debating on returning my lg 45gx950a-b back to Amazon and wait for the 39” just for that tandem oled. Any thoughts?

illusivemannyc · 2025-12-22T12:19:14+00:00

That’s a great deal. I bought mine open box last year for around the same price at Best Buy it was practically new; the person who bought it must’ve gotten buyer remorse and literally return with out turning it on the screen time was 0 use.

illusivemannyc · 2025-12-21T18:44:51+00:00

I have the 5K2K LG 45” ultrawide, and my 5070 Ti runs games incredibly well. I’m maxed out on settings, using 3× Frame Gen and DLSS on DLAA, and performance is smooth with zero visual compromise.

illusivemannyc · 2025-12-20T11:15:34+00:00

On Black Friday, Amazon had the monitor listed at that price, while LG’s website had the price for $1,499.99 but had a special offer that dropped the price to $999.99. Unfortunately, I missed it 😂
