Nvidia fanboy looking for GPU recommendation (self.hardware)

Just wondering if anyone has any desktop gou recommendations. Currently using 1080 to sc2. Was looking at the 4070 super ti (16gb) series as the replacement, but after seeing the 50 series garbage, screw Nvidia.

Please recommend a great AMD card I can obtain to replace my 1080ti sc2. Budget is like 900-1400. Basically don't care..wanting good VRAM 16gb min, I play mostly 2k ultrawide video games and the such.

Don't know what other prelim info is needed

You're not a fanboy of anything, I think you just bought what worked best for you at the time, and you should apply the same principal now. Yes nvidia do nvidia things, but if they're the only company fulfilling your requirements (and if you're in need of an upgrade right now), you shouldn't limit them from your buying decisions. You may find a decent deal on last gen AMD and Nvidia GPUs.

RNDA4 will be available 'early march'. There's no solid confirmation on pricing save for what Frank blurted out on twitter that ~$900 was never part of the originally intended price range.

Back to you, do you have any specific requirements for the GPU outside of gaming (Gfx accelerated productivity and such)? Are you planning on using this with Windows or Linux (or both?)

if you are in that price range, at least consider waiting for 9070xt reviews next month. itll likely be the closest thing to nvidia feature wise, without it being nvidia.

The Intel arc b580 is really nice! You might want to look at it. 12gib vram, and $250

I love the 7900XTX I use it a lot for AI stuff, but I did just run the Monster Hunter Wilds benchmark on it and at 1440p max everything with frame gen was 200 FPS.
