I've been gaming from my couch at 4k 60fps on my 82" tv with a 3070 for three years now and it's reached its limit. It just gags on FF16 even with DLSS but even Dawntrail tends to hover at 40-45fps with judder that was simply not a thing when it could maintain a consistent 60fps a year ago back in Endwalker. I have held off on upgrading because it seemed like a bad deal to buy a gpu at the tail end of the generation when the next generation is right around the corner. But unfortunately, AMD bowing out of high end graphics altogether and Nvida raising prices and keeping Vram to a bare minimum appears to have created the perfect storm of problems that makes holding out seem less appealing than it would have been a generation ago. And that's assuming tarriffs aren't a thing either.
I have been eyeing the PowerColor Hellhound RX 7900 XT on Amazon for $620 and the ASRock Phantom Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XT for $635 on Newegg and I'm wondering if biting the bullet now might be the lesser evil versus rolling the dice. They're both cards that would fit my white build as well, which usually otherwise carry a premium. Should I tough it out or take the BF deal now?
