I’m debating whether to go for the 7900 XTX or wait for the 9070 XT. My gaming setup is a 3440×1440 resolution, and ray-tracing or upscaling isn’t really my thing. I’ve got a 6900 XT at the moment, but it’s starting to feel a bit sluggish for smooth gameplay. Is it worth holding out for the 9070 XT, or should I just grab the 7900 XTX now?

Honestly, it’s still a bit of a guessing game with the 9070 XT, but I think it’s worth holding out for some thorough reviews from others after they get their hands on it. Just bear in mind, the release could be shaky, similar to past launch issues where new cards weren’t readily available or were marked up like crazy.
Here’s the thing: with every new GPU release, we see the same song and dance. New series hype leads to stock issues, which then causes prices to spike, leaving you scrambling for the older models at inflated costs. If you need something sooner, go for the 7900 XTX. Otherwise, prepare to hang tight for a while until the 9070 XT comes to a more settled point in the market.
If 7900 XTX is what you’re eyeing, I’d suggest waiting just a bit longer. Often, at the start of a year, we see price adjustments which could work out in your favor. Just don’t jump in when prices are still high.
Well, no matter what, you’ll want the GPU that runs your favorite games the best, right? Each card has its perks, but you should pick the one that delivers where it matters most to you.
