why a 2080 and not a 5080? Here's a gpu from 7 years ago that we just upgraded from! Oh and its signed by the guy that likes leather jackets and lying to your face.

This last driver 25.12.1 SUCKS! I get a hard crash and wipe about once a week on my 7900XTX regardless of the game. When AMD split off their cards between 24 & 25 drivers they went back to their old ways on video drivers. I look daily for a hotfix.

They’re both good, but the Panam sex scene was awful lol.

I think I fixed it. It looks to be a problem with frame gen. I had to turn off path tracing because the frames are horrible once you turn off frame gen (in the 40-50 range). However, I turned on RT instead and get a steady 80-100ish. The game doesn't look quite as good as it does with path tracing, but still looks great.

I don't have any of that turned on. In fact I was playing FF16 with frame gen on with the #24 driver. pegging out my set refresh. with driver #25, it's a LOT slower. I don't use RT , which is why I went with the 7900XTX anyhow. I think AMD fucked up and they are so fixed on selling 9000 series cars us plebes can go fuck ourselves.
Thing is, if you look at 4K comparisons, the 7900XTX lags behind a FPS or 2 or outright beats the 9700XT.

The 7900XTX Raster/compute is beast and equals or surpasses the 9070XT but that's kinda how its supposed to be; the 9070XT is a tier below it on the product stack. AMD was focused on delivering a great product and so didn't do a XTX card for RDNA4, after 7900XTX underpeformed against expectations and failed to compete fully with 4090. For half the price, though, its a GREAT card. What the 9070XT has is FP8 hardware acceleration built in to let to do better RT and ostensibly FS4, which RDNA3 cards weren't going to get at one time. I think they are now doing FSR4 everywhere, though, so that's one less feature bonus. I own both, put a 7900XTX in my 7700X machine to play Starfield(!) but built a new PC with a 9800X3D and put a 9070XT in it. I think the cards are roughly equivalent, 9070XT if you are using FSR4/RT, 7900XTX if you doing 4K raster don't care so much about future proofing.
Using FSR4/RT no Path Tracing I was getting 170fps ? at 4k playing Cyberpunk, which I am having to learn AGAIN from the ground up. Looks so amazing, story so bleak, so fitting with the setting, truly delivers on its promise from launch, it seems.

I never update GPU drivers unless the patch notes specifically mention driver level support for a newly released game, or there's some major bugfix. I especially would not update drivers which include a brand new feature like FSR "Redstone" which is RDNA4 only but there's no guarantee that it won't break something for 7000-series cards.

Still have not had one AMD driver update since I built this system in the summer and installed the current one on my AMD 9070 XT. All games run great and not one crash yet in any of them.
OOP, never mind there was one like yesterday or earlier this week. But thats one update in like 6 mos.
