Doesn't answer the question, but new cards are going to be announced in January. Typically, around when the announcement or the release occurs, prices for older cards drop, and more used cards show up on marketplaces.
You may want to wait until then to get a better deal.
what I really want is the 5090. The only reason I got this new card is because I currently have an Intel A770. Now it's a good card, alot better than the 6600XT I had, but the major problem is I enjoy playing racing games. And the A770's triple monitor support is horrible.
With the previous AMD card I had, It was just a one click button operation to get a triple monitor set up. With Intel you need to download another program and manually arrange the monitors to get a triple screen setup to work. And even then it outputs to a lower refresh rate. I have 3 60Hz monitors, but when I set them up in triple screen mode it defaults to 59.94Hz. it used to update to the full 60Hz, but some driver change quashed that and then certain games that I used to be able to play in triple monitor, now default to the center monitor no matter what I do.
So here's hoping I get better results with the new AMD card.
Oof, 5090? That's gonna hurt right in the wallet.
I have an XFX RX 480 that i upgraded to an XFX 5700XT, that I then upgraded from recently to a sapphire 7900xtx. The XFX cards had crashing problems and issues where video would just cut out and go straight to black. This happened on both Windows and Linux, and on two different motherboards and power supplies. As soon as I switched to the sapphire, every single problem just... disappeared.
Thank-you to everyone who responded. I found a Killer deal for a GIGABYTE Radeon RX 7600 XT GAMING OC Card at $379.00 CAD ($270.00 USD) I will leave the thread up as I'm sure others will have the same question.
Why did you capitalize killer?
I had six XFX RX 470 4GB in a mining rig for a while. Took like three years for the fans to start failing, but you can buy replacement fans (which I did). I want to say that half the cards survived after five years of 24/7/365.26 constant high temps.
I've also got a "used-not-used" takeoff XFX RX 480 8GB in an enclosure now to run my laptop through. Haven't had any problems with it.
I've had an XFX RX 480 Black Edition and now an XFX Merc310 RX 7900XTX. Both have had no issues except the 7900XTX which had some coil whine but went away for good after binging Baldur's Gate 3 and KSP for a few days. They're a good brand in my books but I haven't had any experience with their customer service
Had a Merc 319 6800XT, worked great till it got wet. Whoops. There was some coil whine during Automatic1111 runs, but I don't really remember it during games. Though most of my gaming is of the patient variety and my monitors are only 1440. So it probably wasn't very taxing. BG3 and Diablo 4 at max settings worked great.
Currently have a 6750XT (and previously a 6600) and had zero issues.
It's been 20 years, but I had a XFX geforce 7800GTO and the model had issues that caused crashes.
XFX acknowledged there was a Problem and made promises, but then just deleted the forum thread.
They're on my list now.
i had two of them. never had any problems with them.
I've had two XFX cards, an RX 480 and 6700 XT. Didn't have issues with their one, no coil whine with the fans.
