THIS ISSUE,
I got back into PC building, as you can see from the RGB-laden machine adorning this month’s cover. It has somehow been nearly a year since my last cover build, with our first Nvidia RTX 4090-powered machine. It seems only right that my follow-up be with AMD’s highest-end card, the RX 7900 XTX. While that’s also nearly a year old at time of writing, it had been an ongoing discussion between Maximum
PC staff members that we’d somehow managed to avoid the top-end AMD card in any of our builds—it’s just been a busy year for CPU and GPU releases. Thankfully, we were still impressed with what AMD has to offer, particularly with the card commonly now available with a 10 percent price cut since launch, now around $900.
