Dude, that card will survive the bursting AI bubble, world war 3 and then some. You can easily use that card for the next 15 years.

This makes me even more sure of my decision to get an AMD card as my next GPU (currently I have a RTX 4080 so it’s still a long time until that happens but still).

Probably, but please don’t call me dude.

Every time I got an AMD card I got burned, so that’s not really an option. Last try was a 5700 XT and oh my god was that a pain. So much so that instead of my usual 4-5 year upgrade cycle I grabbed a 3080 one year later.
Nowadays DLSS is a must for me, it just looks so much better than TAA. FSR is alright, but not great.

I guess lemmy is big enough for shills now.

Big enough for baseless “shill” accusations, lol

Meh, I’ve owned an ATI 4870X2, GTX 580, GTX 970, 5700 XT, 3080 and now 5080.
Also helped out friends with their GPUs, 2070 Super, 6800 XT (which have a really shitty fan curve at stock).
The 5700 XT had the worst drivers of the bunch. Crashes, stuttering, … AMD managed to fix most issues with time, but not all.
Nvidia drivers early this year were shit too, but at this point they are great again. I don’t care about the brand, I only care about my PC running well.

You do know the games themselves generally choose the type of anti-aliasing used right? Your graphics card doesn’t run anti-aliasing ontop of everything else.

???
Of course the game developers choose what to put into their games. Some games have FXAA, TAA, DLSS, FSR and even XeSS.
With an Nvidia card you can use them all. With AMD you can’t use DLSS.
Not sure what your last sentence means, of course your GPU runs AA?

Right there with you. Have a 4080, and only reason I got this one, was because it was cheaper(by a sizable chunk) than the 7900xtx when I got it.

Just a reminder that AMD is also just another money hungry corporation that would sell gamers out to AI. Don’t forget that AMD just put a 20% stake of their company and output in a AI partnership with Meat.

That’s why in rooting for a small mom and pop competitor to the space, like checks notes … Intel.
We’re fucked aren’t we?

Which is also now 5% Nvidia!

You may have usable Chinese GPUs in a few years. Sort of like RAM now
