I'm currently running a build with an Intel Core i9 12000KF, 32GB DDR5 RAM, and an RTX 3060 Ti. It's been a solid card for me, but I'm looking to upgrade. I'm weighing my options between the AMD RX 7900 XTX and the NVIDIA RTX 4080. The RTX 4080 is significantly more expensive, even on the used market, which has me leaning towards the RX 7900 XTX. I've never owned an AMD card before, so I'm curious about what I might be missing by not going with the RTX 4080. According to user benchmarks, the performance difference between the RX 7900 XTX and the RTX 4080 isn't massive, so what's your take?

You might want to consider checking out the 5070 Ti or 9070 XT as alternatives. They offer better value compared to the RTX 4080 or RX 7900 XTX. Definitely look into the 5070 Ti—it's a solid performer at around $750.
The RX 7900 XTX is likely your best bet for performance. It outshines a lot of similar cards while boasting more VRAM, which can be advantageous. Plus, with features like FSR 4 on the horizon for AMD cards, you're set for future games. It really provides the most performance for your buck compared to the 4080 or the alternatives.
That's good to know! And I like that the AMD cards tend to be cheaper. Do I really need the features like DLSS that NVIDIA offers?
