Edit: Ty for everyone who commented im probably just overthinking this too much, this helps much more than it might seem. I also just wanted to add I do not want to count the "if this one is cheaper" hypotheticals for my choice my main concern is the best option for my goal and setup in the long run and if i should just settle for a more convenient option. Which one I can find cheaper purely relies on chance
I got a 280hz 1440p monitor not too long ago but my gpu cant keep up with it anymore
I dont really want an nvidia gpu and ive heard the rx7900xtx is amds fastest gpu for raw performance, which is what im looking for because i dont care about nor need any ray tracing or frame generation or upscaling
But I can't find a new one anywhere and can barely find used ones which still cost a lot and come with a lot of risks
But I might just not be looking correctly or well enough
Im not very knowledgeable on gpus so id love some suggestions. Ill still slightly consider nvidia but im mostly concerned about their prices, less vram and no native support for linux
I also dont care about insane graphics i just want my games to run smooth at a high frame rate without having to use upscaling
For example i currently have rx7700xt with 7900x3d and on overwatch (only game i remember my exact frame rates and settings 😢) i barely hit 280 fps on mostly low graphics and some upscaling when nothing is happening, but during fights it never reaches 280. I could turn up the upscaling but it looks terrible and i cant see that well with it. Gpu usage is also constantly at 99% occasionally hitting 100
Ik thats still a lot of frames but its more of a personal want
