What happened for gamers to actually sang a different tune today?
Before people were arguing about a 7900 XTX vs a 4080/4080 Super, a lot are actually still valid due to price-to-performance differences. Both can be valid buy. Although, regardless whether the XTX is significantly cheaper, slightly cheaper, or priced similarly, I've seen some claiming the 7900 XTX as a better card because of its superior raster and futureproof VRAM over the Nvidia bells and whistles or sometimes called gimmicks(which were cooler temps, DLSS, and Ray Tracing). Did DLSS and RT not that matter in 2024 for people to see these gpus as a toss up?
But now, people are considering which is better between the 9070 XT and the 7900 XTX. Almost everyone is choosing the 9070 XT in a heartbeat no brainer due to FSR4 and RT despite having worse VRAM. The 4080 Super had the same advantages as the 9070 XT has. With today's logic, the 4080 and 9070 XT are now the better gaming choice. What led to these change of tune?
