Is it worth to upgrade from 7800XT to 9070 XT?

As I game at 4K OLED, is it worth to upgrade now? I will be able to sell my 7800XT later on the market for max 300$ difference.

If 7800XT had got FSR4, I don't think it would have been that worth, but for how things are right now, go for it, I did the same change and I'm "happy", a 5070TI would have been better.

you can get int8 fsr4 working on 7800 xt even on the rx6000 series, but afaik fsr 4.1 doesn't work

Some people are going to say no, but since AMD is a piece of shit company and won't probably add FSR 4 to the 7000 series, I'd say yes that's an understandable upgrade for 4K gaming, I would even add that if you can afford it, you should probably switch to Nvidia since they will probably add DLSS 5 to it, in the future

The response for DLSS 4.5 should show AMD that the performance hit (3000- and 2000- series get almost 40% performance hit when using the new model) is fine for people. Just release FSR4 even with the performance hit to earlier generations.

Ironic too since DLSS 3 was supposed to not be available to earlier generations, only 4000 series. But FSR3/AFMF being available to 6000-series pushed Nvidia to also make theirs available to earlier gen.

What? FG part of DLSS was never meant to be available below 4000 series, and it still is. Upscaler part of DLSS was always meant to be available for all RTX GPUs, and it was from day 1 for every major model revision - all CNN presets and TN presets.

DLSS3 started as only the Framegen, until Nvidia made it confusing and put all their technologies under the DLSS naming. Yeah, I was talking about Frame Gen. It was only supposed to be for 4000 series but was later introduced to older generations even if they didn't have the hardware for it. AFMF was the same, only 3 months after AFMF introduction that it was made available through preview drivers for earlier RDNA generations.
