December 22, 20223 yr Am getting close to pulling the trigger on a new video card. Currently have an 8 gig 2080 that I've had for almost 4 years.. The manager at my computer store i've known for years suggested a 7900XT as they currently have decent pricing on them compared to a 4080 plus physically they will fit in my current case where a 4080 will not. I'd prefer to get a XTX but they are scarce and he has an XT. Just wondering if anyone running a 7900 could pass along their thoughts how it works with MSFS, XP & P3d. Thanks for any responses.
December 22, 20223 yr I'm considering XTX and 4080 too. Not considering XT because to little difference in price and to big difference in perf. My guess is that MSFS perf will be pretty good (because XBOX runs an AMD (RDNA2) GPU as well). What will be interesting is how VR performance will be, AFAIK with RDNA2 it is not great. XP performance with AMD cards is traditionally not good, I don't expect that to change now. No idea about current P3D. Also very interested in actual experiences or benchmarks, should they surface. Seems like the cards are really very scarce still... Laminar Research customer -- Asobo/MS customer -- not an X-Aviation customer - or am I? 😉
December 25, 20223 yr Author In the last 10 days I have gone through many reviews. generally it is10-15% less than the XTX and in some almost on par with the 4080. That said there are quite a few versions of the XT some having 10% more power than the "base" XT. With this kind of performance in this league for me it is sort of like saying my Ferrari is faster than your Lambo, lol. The XT is also small enough to fit in my existing case as I mentioned above, where the 4080 is not, something I didn't know originally. So, I've decided to go with the XT.
