I got lucky and picked up a 7900 XTX for a reasonable price last gen and it's been a really great card. I've got a couple systems coming up on needing a refresh (1080 Ti and a 2080 Ti) and I'm planning on upgrading both of them to a 9070 XT. I'm staying away from Nvidia until they start pricing their GPUs at prices actual consumers can afford instead of corporations looking to build AI farms.
