They are free to do so. I stand by my opinion that if a £350 CPU with some cheap RAM gives me better gaming experience than a £550 one (that also consumes way more power), then it's better for gaming. Simple.Because it is. Just like it is a good productivity CPU. If you want to claim otherwise that's your right, but this is an open forum and people will contest you on that.
I do agree that an i9 has a reason to exist for people wanting to do work on it - I just think it's a waste of money and electricity for those who don't.
Who's moving the goalpost now?The height of embarrassment: to discuss the lack of efficiency of the processors you don't own, but not to criticize the efficiency of the video card you bought.
In 1440p gaming, according to the TPU review, the 7800XT beats the 4070 by only 3.7% with a 19.7% higher power consumption.
It's incredible how low you can bring the discussion. Invade Intel topics with the same impudence, although it is clear that you do not have one of the same class (alder-raptor), and some have not owned Intel in their lives, they just read other people's stories.
If you want to know, I bought the 7800 XT because it was way cheaper than the 4070 (not to mention it has more VRAM), which makes up for its slight lack of efficiency (which is nothing compared to the 14900K vs 7800X3D). Also, I'm using it with a -10% power limit, which makes it around 3% slower. This is completely off-topic, though, so I'd stop if I were you.
Edit: Another thing is that I buy my hardware due to curiosity, not due to need. I buy whatever I think is interesting. You've been around the forum for a while, you might have known this about me.
