Well, point is made, now if he still wants to get R4, let him.....If he can read, it's enough to check reviews (yes, some are outdated, but still, he'll get a good insight for few most suggested)..
epicelite, check DSTT, AceKard2, CycloDS, M3 Real & SuperCard (you don't have to go by that order)..all those carts ARE BETTER than R4..

epicelite said:
no it won't. u seem to be under the impression that we give a shit about what u buy. countless ppl have given their correct and wise opinion about why the r4 is inferior to many karts out there (i have a r4 too btw), yet u blatantly ignore it. now, ur like, fine fine i'll get something else, like you're doing us a favor? god.

Lol its funny reading through all these posts and seeing the word " fanboy " appearing so much
Anyway as everyone else has said the R4 was a good card in its day, solid build quality / used to get regular updates! & had 100% games compatibility!
No more though.......
I personally use a supercard v3 SCHC (£17 DX) and a supercard lite (slot 2 -gba support) and these 2 cards work great together , i actually sold my R4 a month or so ago for £40 with 2 gig SD card so got the Sc + 8 gig card and had change.
Lets draw a line over the R4 ---------------------------- Good in its day, top of the line but its time has passed. Spend $40 and get a supercard or cyclone which have the most features.

the vram is one advantage when it comes to AI but ends up being slower even with that and really AI is the only use case that needs more than 12gb vram right now -

I think I watched a video where two games at 4K where eating just over 16GB of RAM and it's the one case where the 7900XT and XTX pulled ahead (minus RTX of course) -

So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.

they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding+1

AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that

least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling

i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling

@The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
