Looking at upgrading from my 3080 to a 7900xt, not really bothered about ray tracing etc just not sure if it’s worth it.

Do you really need more performance though?

Always 😂, more for future proofing for when I get a better cpu

Bad plan

It’s the only thing that’s potentially preventing me from getting it since I have an i9-9900k atm

Just this upgrade is easier for me, don’t have to really do anything if you get me

#

With the gpu it’s as simple as pull out the old one and put the new one in

#

And cba having to buy another cpu and motherboard and unplug and plug everything back together

$700 is a lot for 10-20%

#

The 9900k will be holding you back. That’s why I said upgrade it first

#

Also futureproofing is a fallacy on everything except the psu

I’m aware of that, but I cba taking apart everything whereas the gpu is just plug and play essentially, I’ve decided for now to wait though

#

im telling you to wait until you need to upgrade the cpu

#

just bc you cba to take apart everything doesnt mean you should buy a hamstrung 7900xt
