Our Verdict: With some tuning, the RX 7900 XT makes the most sense for gamers with 4K monitors and it is better than RTX 3080 by a margin. Though serious gamers hardly play at 4k. For everyone else, especially those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RTX 3080 could be the better value choice in the short term. Upgrading from RTX 3080 to RX 7900 XT is not recommended as it is less than 30% of improvement in performance. In general, a reasonable upgrade is between 30% and 50% or more to justify the purchase of new hardware.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080

The RTX 3090 might be the extreme flagship of the latest Ampere set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most high-end PC gamers. On the other hand, the RTX 3080 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 699. The good news is, with the release of the RTX 3080 Ti, the RTX 3080 's price is getting more discount.

Spec for spec, this RTX 3080 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the RTX 2080, by boasting 69.4 % more fps. The RTX 3080 has 10 GB RAM compared to the RTX 2080 's 8 GB video memory.

Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The RTX 3080 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the RTX 2080, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti and it really justifies an upgrade. Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, RX 6800 XT, the RTX 3080 was -1.6 % slower.

AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT / Ryzen 9 5950X

In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of RX 7900 XT is simply ridiculous. For those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RX 7900 XT is very expensive and there are better value choices in the short term. It is worth noting that the RX 7900 XT is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. In terms of memory, the RX 7900 XT 's 20480 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. 4K gaming is joyous on this RX 7900 XT , and with a little tweaking to your AA settings, it'd be hard to imagine a title not capable of 60 fps on average.
