Trying to decide with which card to go for with a build someone is having me do. Price isn't an issue for them, but comes down more to over all quality and fps. We had a 4080 previously that had to be returned as it was having major issues once a graphics driver was installed. But researched and saw that the 7900 xtx was nearly on par with a 4080. So if anyone has any experience with the 7900xtx i'd love your input.

If Ray Tracing or DLSS are important to you, you kind of have to go with the 4080. If you're not concerned about this and are looking for raw performance, the 7900 xtx is the better bang for your buck. AMD has been known to have more driver issues than Nvidia, so that might also be a factor.
Personally, I'd go with the 4080. You never know what the future holds for FSR, but DLSS 3.0 and Ray Tracing are big selling factors for me.

Yes i had thought about that. I dont know what games they play that would make good use of Ray Tracing and so on. But its nice to have, I personally stick with nVidia cards. I kinda gave up on AMD a number of years back when I kept having so many cards dying and having driver issues with them. I was hoping though that by now they would remedy such issues.

4080 hands down. Nvidia has just had beastly cards the last few years. I've had a few AMDs, most recent was a 6900 series I think and it was...eh. Sounds like your one you had was just flawed in some way, or perhaps a driver issue that likely got fixed.

AMD for motherboards, Nvidia for video.
Also saw this while searching:
“Essentially, GDDR6X is more power efficient, but it's also faster to the point of using more power than GDDR6. GDDR6X also has a better data transfer rate coming in at 21 GB/s. It has, roughly, a 43% data increase over GDDR6. GDDR6X also runs much hotter than GDDR6.”
The hotter part makes me think I’d stick with GDDR6 and skip GDDR6X for eventual GDDR7.

Saraosama has a 4090 and it keeps getting around 85 to 90 Degrees Celsius but the GPU is always under 50 is there anyway that can be done to lower the temperature of the CPU?

Better cooler for the CPU, like an AIO if the CPU is currently being air cooled. Plenty of resources on YouTube to help with cooling. Gamers Nexus and JaysTwoCents are some channels I recommend when it comes to cooling.
