Upgrading PC

what gpu pro said here does not go down too well...........

GPUPro is a blatant troll and most of their comments are the same copypasted misinformation.

and seems to mirror currently whats happening to some in this thread https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/is-anyone-having-issues-with-shadows.626053/

Those shadow issues aren't a GPU or driver problem, they are an Odyssey problem, a bug with the game. Anyone that plays the current version of the game long enough with directional shadows enabled, especially at higher quality settings, will encounter the issue at some point,

Anyone that uses enough of something will experience issues at some point.

To the best of my knowledge, there are no current contraindications involving the AMD RX 7000 series and Elite: Dangerous. There used to be an orbit/gravity line problem (which still persists on the 6000 series, but which has an easy workaround), but that was addressed long ago for the 7000 series. There were also past issues with VR and ED on the 7000 series, but this was addressed last year.

The RTX 4000 series parts do have modestly greater performance per watt and a better video encoder. The other NVIDIA specific feature advantages are either irrelevant for Elite (DLSS), or don't meaningfully apply to the GPU price segment being considered (hardware RT on sub-500 EUR/GBP/USD GPUs, from anyone, is generally so borderline as to be a nonfeature).

Originally, the 7700XT was priced rather poorly and was easy to dismiss in favor the 7800 XT or 4060 Ti 16GB. However, with the recent price cuts to the 7700 XT, it's basically unrivaled in it's segment.
