4090 because it’s faster and even if I were to encounter issues with it, I could easily sell it and get a 7900 XTX. Can’t do that the other way around.
If the requirement was not to sell a gift under any circumstances then I’d lean towards 7900 XTX because it’s more likely to work hassle-free on linux, ROCm and OpenCL actually work for me, and VR that doesn’t work on linux works in a vm with the GPU passed through. The downsides are that DLSS is still better on average than FSR and Nvidia stomps AMD when it comes to path tracing, so at two non-tech demos, but that number is bound to grow in time.
