If these are the only two cards that exist, with a gun to my head I'd pay $200 more (speaking in MSRP) for the benefits *to me*. Maybe there aren't any to you and that's fine.

Thats fair, i am a bit of an AMD fanboy but the RTX 4000's series just seem insane. if they kept to the same pricing tiers as last gen i probably would go 4090. though im still weary of the new power connector

Hey guys, here's an update.

I'm still waiting to buy my new GPU, but 7900xtxs are still few and far between. I found this listing: 

 

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/2YpzK8/powercolor-rx7900xtx-24g-radeon-rx-7900-xtx-24-gb-video-card-rx7900xtx-24g

 

But it's definitely a second seller on Amazon with $200 mark up. And on top of that AMDs stock cooler has had issues. I need an upgrade but I don't want to settle. Should I go for a 7900xt which are plentiful, or should I hold out for the 7900xtx?
