I believe about $300 for an AMD RX480 (great card and still going strong). This time I had a bit more money and wanted something more powerful. I went with the AMD 7800 XT Nitro ($550) which I got on release day. Sure it’s not top of the line but it has played pretty much everything I throw at it with all settings set to max and still maintaining 60fps or above. I have an UW monitor with its max resolution being 5120x1440 which is what most games will play at and everything still plays fine. It’s almost crazy to me that this card would be considered mid range.
That’s about equal to a 3070ti, what are you playing to max settings 60fps on 32:9 1440 resolution on that? Because either you are straight up lying or being intentionally misleading by selecting a very narrow range of games.
I can assure you I am not lying. I do use FSR or XeSS which helps a ton with performance and freesync enabled with my monitor. Cyberpunk 2077 is probably one of the most taxing games I play and use XeSS with that one and everything else set to max without Ray tracing of course and I get just under 60fps in most areas and over 60fps in buildings. I’ll attach a pic of the in game test it can perform.
And how much did you pay for the 2016 card, what range was it in, and what is the new card’s cost and range?
Overal, gpus have been a major ripoff, despite these upgrades giving good performance boosts

7800XT Nitro gang rise up! Come from a 1080 and it’s been a leap!

Raytracing is a setting which is not only not maxed but is off lol
