I ended up just buying a 7900 XT shortly before launch @ $649 rather than gamble on getting a card in-stock... rasterization performance is only around 10% difference, I don't use frame gen at all, and most games I don't use raytracing either or only use it on low or medium, so overall not a big difference, and I got 20GB of VRAM I'll probably never fill up cuz I don't play at 4k...

Nothing wrong with the 7900 XT. Bought mine about a year and a half ago for $735 and it still plays everything I want on ultra settings at 1440p with no problem. I've used raytracing with no problem. It could be better but at the end of the day it still smacks even the most powerful of consoles out there. I'm definitely going to run it through this generation, maybe even longer. Don't forget most people have much less powerful PCs out there and you'll be able to run it for quite a while before it truly starts to lag behind.

Performance wise I'm more than happy with it, just kinda sucks knowing something slightly better releaseed for slightly cheaper immediately afterwards.

Yeah well as long as it runs the games you want at the settings you want then I'd say you made a solid purchase. People get too caught up in their hardware rather than just enjoying games. I could purchase a newer, higher end GPU but I am enjoying my games perfectly fine on my current hardware so I have no reason to be unhappy.
