Our Verdict: With some tuning, the RX 7900 XTX makes the most sense for gamers with 4K monitors and it is better than RTX 3090 by a margin. Though serious gamers hardly play at 4k. Upgrading from RTX 3090 to RX 7900 XTX 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. The price/performance ratio is much better for RX 7900 XTX .

AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX / Ryzen 9 5950X

In terms of cost, pricing clearly is a genuine issue here and the price of RX 7900 XTX is simply ridiculous. For those on 1080p or even 1440p monitors, the RX 7900 XTX is very expensive and there are better value choices in the short term. It is worth noting that the RX 7900 XTX is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. In terms of memory, the RX 7900 XTX 's 24576 MB RAM is more than enough for modern games and should not cause any bottlenecks. 4K gaming is joyous on this RX 7900 XTX , and with a little tweaking to your AA settings, it'd be hard to imagine a title not capable of 60 fps on average.
