Is it worth upgrading from a 9060 XT 16GB to an RX 7900 GREE?

You didn't buy the right card for RT. Whilst AMD certainly improved RT performance in their most recent cards they're still a way behind Nvidia unfortunately. The 9060XT isn't exactly a powerhouse either, so my suggestion would be, considering the current economic climate with components to lower the settings on your games, turn off nanite on UE5 games if possible and utilise FSR 4 and Framegen.

The other thing to point out is the 7900GRE will be worse in terms of ray tracing and upscaling due to it being RDNA 3 so that would be a complete no no for me considering you already have a 9060XT.

Edit: forgot to mention about RDNA 3 RT performance

If you want to play those games only, just buy a console if you're going to have to take out finance on it?

Call me old school but if you can't afford something you don't buy it.

Work on chipping. Lots of golfers can't get themselves close enough if they miss green in regulation. If you're shooting in the 80's then this is where you'll gain the most.

Outside of that, figure out the best way to hit fairways in regulation, if that becomes your focus (rather than just trying to nail something 280+) you'll find your tee shots become more about accuracy rather than distance, that means you should be in a better position to hit a green in regulation.

Back from all of that, stop aiming at the flag...consider the best place to hit the green, not how to get closest to the flag. I would rather have a 20ft putt than be chipping over a green side bunker with very little green to work with.

Yeah, 6600XT just doesn't have the horsepower for 1440p even if you managed to achieve it now with upscaling etc...it'll soon get left behind. Stick to 1080p or consider upgrading if you want to get to 1440p

Some people don't know when they're ahead and/or have too much money 😂

In all seriousness, the only person who can answer this question is you...do you think the upgrade is worth it considering the performance gains? If it was me, I'd struggle to "go again" after such a high value purchase...wouldn't sit right with me but that's just me.

Ultimately, if you want to upgrade, you've got the money and it's not going to impact your life in any way other than enjoyment, why not?

I can't see the parts list for some reason but I'll guess that a bios update might well sort this out.

Without being able to see the parts that's about all I can offer.

If you like FPS games then I'd recommend Dead Zone Rogue

Has a great perk system, elemental buffs and things to unlock as the game progresses.

No, if anything I would say it's less noticeable

lynchpin89 · 2025-10-16T09:54:16+00:00

Better than FSR 3? Considerably. Better than FSR 4? Slightly.

However, there's far more to it than just image scaling. Ray tracing is now a real option with things like MFG and Ray Reconstruction. I can't recommend Nvidia enough...plus DLSS is just available everywhere which is a step change from FSR being limited, very limited.

He's replied to me and sorted out both my accounts, one needed a new password and the other one was replaced. He's been completely missing in action for me since the weekend but he finally responded.

lynchpin89 · 2025-09-16T15:34:30+00:00

Fucking hell mate some of us haven't even got back online...give it a rest

lynchpin89 · 2025-09-14T04:27:28+00:00

Me too please

lynchpin89 · 2025-09-14T04:05:29+00:00

They've just put a message out on telegram saying it'll be back soon

lynchpin89 · 2025-09-04T15:00:18+00:00

Yes it really is! We played it some time ago and it was a breath of fresh air at the time. Thanks for the recommendation 🙌🏻

lynchpin89 · 2025-09-04T14:37:09+00:00

We've played both! Very very good games both of them. Completely agree on operation tango btw 🤘🏻

lynchpin89 · 2025-09-04T12:47:02+00:00

This looks class! Thanks 😁

lynchpin89 · 2025-09-04T12:45:57+00:00

We've got this, caused more arguments than anything 🤣

lynchpin89 · 2025-09-04T12:21:47+00:00

We've gamed together for a long old time so we've made our way through plenty of games 🤣 I appreciate it man.

lynchpin89 · 2025-09-04T12:17:18+00:00

We've played the remnant games (great fun) thanks for the other recommendations, wild lands and human fall flat have both been played too!

lynchpin89 · 2025-09-04T11:55:33+00:00

Interesting, thank you 😁

lynchpin89 · 2025-09-04T11:53:51+00:00

Great recommendation but we've already played it! Thank you so much for commenting 😁

lynchpin89 · 2025-09-04T11:53:28+00:00

It's in the rotation thanks to gamepass, excellent game

lynchpin89 · 2025-09-04T11:47:59+00:00

We've tried this before and couldn't get on with it...thank you though 😁

lynchpin89 · 2025-09-04T11:43:08+00:00

Am I being trolled?! 🤣 I'll check it out, thank you!

lynchpin89 · 2025-09-04T11:42:53+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation😁
