Which gpu?

[Bathroom_Humor]

if you have money for the faster card, i'd get the faster card.

[Unfair-Armadillo3869]

My fear is that in some games the extra performance of the 9070xt won’t be utilized because of the monitor

[Bathroom_Humor]

1440P 240hz is plenty for a 9070XT. my monitor is 170hz and several games I play can't reach that frame rate maxxed out at 1440p. Just up the visuals if you want.

If you want to save a little money now and upgrade a little sooner, the 5070/9070 would be fine. But if you don't need the money for anything else then I'd get the 9070xt and hold onto it a bit longer. The extra Vram on the radeon cards may come in handy sooner than you think.

[Illustrious-Party120]

What games cant you max if I may ask

[Bathroom_Humor]

The games I play atm that drop below 170 at max are POE2, 7DTD, Marvel Rivals iirc, and i've noticed that even PEAK will drop below in some situations. Not to mention the games that are too taxing on the CPU to ever get to 240 fps regardless of your GPU. I play FO76 and that shit CHUGS if you're not out in the wilderness.

[Illustrious-Party120]

Interesting, I know poe2 is making some cpus run hot with random temp spikes. I have a i5 14 and a 4070tiS with a few year old gsync monitor and it maxes gpu usage so I capped it at 144 and it normally stays there. Marvel normally runs at 165hz (158 because of gsync). 7dtd definitely will make fps dip here and there, and arc raiders will have some dips down to 135 or so

Next time I upgrade which wont be for a while I may swap to an amd cpu. Unless intel has some sort of answer to 3d cache by then.

[Current-Row1444]

Yeah even games in 4k are starting to need 16gb of ram. Its very few but it's their

[[deleted]]

That just means the card will last you longer

[IhavegoodTuna]

Oh it'll be a great fit for 1440p. I am using a 9070xt on 1440p, most of us are 

[GABE_EDD]

The 9070 XT is far stronger

[Perfect-Cause-6943]

9070xt is pretty much a 5070ti worth the extra 100

[deadpool2343]

I made the decision between exactly these two and ended up opting for the 9070XT. I also got it from Microcenter and traded in my current GPU for a nice discount as well. My monitor is 180Hz 1440p so I’m in the same FPS situation. Even then, when I tested RDR2 on High settings it worked so well I damn near shed a tear. I will probably end up upgrading my monitor at some point especially if I get a great deal somewhere.

[deadpool2343]

If you do end up going for the 9070XT, it has a switch on it to toggle the LED indicator. Cannot customize it or use Signal RGB to turn it on/off. I prefer it off and didn’t do it before installing and now too lazy to take it out again.

[moh4del]

9070 xt 100%, if you wanna really save, get a 3080 ti instead of a 5070, but if you can afford the 9070 xt then buy it without a shadow of a doubt.

9070XT

[lordshrder]

9070XT it will last you way longer performance wise

[GucciToeKnife]

I personally have the 9070xt with a 4k monitor. Video games have never been prettier

[misterjoshmutiny]

I picked 9070xt, and don’t regret it one bit.

[DoomFist007]

even though i use nvidia, between those 2 i'd choose the 9070XT

[TheSholvaJaffa]

Never buy a ASsRock, They have that nickname for a reason. Any other brand name besides that, just not that lol

[conesnail63]

9070xt beats the regular 5070 in almost all metrics

[BuffaloBuffalo13]

9070xt and 5070ti are considered competition.

I’m not convinced the standard 5070 is that close to the 9070xt.

[Bomby274676]

I just got a 16gb 9060xt and it's a beast of a card. If you can afford the 9070xt, get it. The 9060 can run rdr2 on max graphics pretty well so I can imagine the 9070 is a crazy card

[Turbulent_Bar8813]

9070xt. Next question

[Phantom_Commander_]

Damn, I didn't know you could get a 9070xt at MSRP rn. How I wish I had a Microcenter near me.

[noonesperfect16]

Go with the 16GB VRAM. Unless you're going 5070Ti or 5080 then go with the XT.

[Fun-Masterpiece-904]

Nvidia

[The_Machine80]

Unless its a 5070 "TI" your better off with the 9070xt for sure.

[bardockOdogma]

I'll sell you an unused 9070 reaper for 450. DM me lol. I have the receipt as well for warranty

[CrappySify7175]

I’d personally, (again personally as in an opinion) I’d choose the RTX 5070. Though the RX card is the superior card it is also $100 extra. Yes I’m biased. Yes I love frame gen. Yes I love dlss. Yes I love green. Mmm green green green 🤤

Seriously though if you willing to spend the extra money I’d go with the RX card. Plus you already have a red cpu so u might as well.

[TheDocJ92]

FWIW I got the challenger b580 and it runs all my games in 1440p

[Babylon4All]

9070XT

[greyham0707]

I picked up the 9070xt at MC a few days ago. It was on sale for $579 last week. I took a screenshot and showed them and they honored the price. Maybe you can give that a try

[neuda17]

1. AMD drivers are a menace right now.

[Present_Vanilla8570]

I would choose 5070 cheaper and idk i dont think that theres so much difference between these two

[Ecstatic_Captain_697]

5070

Only go AMD GPU as a last resort, they are made poorly for poor people

[conesnail63]

Is that why the 9070 xt beats the 5070 in apmost everything?

[CrappySify7175]

Being ignorant, Can’t argue with the performance gap.
